If you are the kind of person who would like to collect things related to human and animal histories, you would most certainly be interested in bones, art, fossils and the like. Here is a diamond which apparently came to earth when a meteor struck our planet long time ago. This was when South America and Africa were connected to each other. The diamond is being sold at $2,100 and is a Carbonado rough diamond.
This discovery further supports the idea and belief that carbonados are from outer space. While the mysteries get solved by modern science, you can buy this lovely piece of diamond for yourself and for your family as a heirloom. You could also buy it as an investment as many decades later people would offer millions just to be able to take it back to the lab and conduct one of those scientific studies.

There was something really adventurous and rebellious about the 60s. There was the civil rights movement, stonewall protests and gay lib. Whatever the protests and movements were, they were also reflected in the art and culture of that period. You could bring back those rebellious days back to the new millennium by getting yourself the Scoop TV Table being sold by Heals.
It is a cool and stylish way to display your TV just like the hep 60s people used to. It comes in awesome space age colours and materials and is manufactured with the help of lacquered white body and grey glass shelf. The table itself is perched on the top of a chrome pedestal base.

If you are a Street Fighter fan, you would love the Gen-Ryu’s proposal for a hybrid motorcycle. It is based in genesis, the famous motorcycle launched by Yamaha. It comes with the latest electronic control techniques and comes with a really sophisticated technology and electric motor.
The idea is to provide the user an experience that brings the advantages of a scooter with the handling of a motorcycle. It is made of die-cast lightweight aluminium and runs at a power which can be compared to other 1,000cc class motorcycles. The idea behind the motorcycle may not be Ryu, the eponymous hero of Street Fighter.

People usually feel saddened when flowers dry and wither away. It suggests their own ageing process and the fleeting period of youth when we blossom and then begin to wither and dry out. While natural ageing may not be controlled by us, we can at least buy flowers that don’t wither away, and that which are not plastic. allencompanyinc on Etsy has launched Fig Rose Bouquet which comes with 24 roses.
These roses are made from 100% cotton and can be easily cleaned with vacuum cleaners. They have been wrapped on real branches using silver wires. This rose would last for hundreds of years and can be used as a family heirloom.

Designer Svilen Gamolov has announced his Snake Bar Stool concept. The stool is radically designed and resembles a hissing snake ready to strike at the challenged with a vicious and fatal poisonous bite. You would actually sit on the hood of this supposed snake and when you are drunk enough you could regale yourself and others with all the creepy tales about how snakes could just crawl in from one of the pipes in the bar or club.
You could get these stools not only for your restaurant or bar, but they can be used inside the house as well, if you have a bar at home. There is no information about the price or availability since it is still in the conceptual stage.

I am not really sure if this is the most expensive of all the vases I have come across but it certainly is one of the most contemporary and stylish ones I have seen. The Baccarat reflex vase which has been designed by Nicholas Triboulot is postmodernist in nature and has been carved out of clear full-lead crystal.
Only five of these amazing vases have been created and each costs $10,000. It even comes with a sign and number in order to maintain the exclusivity. The idea of placing flowers in such a vase actually does not seem to occur to me, as the vase is too futuristic, not that I am complaining.

Summer is at its peak now and it is impossible to think about wearing anything more than a t shirt. The heat can become unbearable and that is when the well heeled decide to go to the mountains or to the north where it is pleasantly cool and chilly.
When you feel the need to wear something warm there, you could take a look at this chic grey v-neck pullover by Scotch & Soda which is being sold at $90. The way the pullover falls over the model’s waist is sensual and ye innocent. The dull gray compensates for the brightness of the sharp northern or alpine sun where the wind might be chilly but the sun would shine bright.

Conceptual furniture has a way with people. It either makes sense or makes no sense at all. In either case, it comes with hidden meanings which may be overlooked by the masses. If you have enough aesthetic sense to appreciate the art and the idea behind such furniture, you must check out Dutch designer Richard Hutten’s conceptual furniture.
Most of the times they look humorous and weird, but also are very functional. Droog NY now represents this famous Dutch designer and you could check out some of the more awesome pictures of his furniture. The one here above looks like a group of slabs arranged to form a table.
