Armani Casa, haute couture for home essentials, from Giorgio Armani has been in the news for a long time. Their launch of a $38,500 gold-plated desk at the Salone del Mobile have already been featured here. Let your eyes gaze, this time, upon the Calyx, the cucine.
Armani Casa unveils the kitchen of the future, the Calyx, which was designed in collaboration with Italian manufacturer Dada. The central design of the kitchen features continuous sleek lines with polished silver tinted surfaces that give a sense of ethereal cleanliness and constant hygiene. The kitchen is made from an ensemble of wood veneer, glass and woven metal. Added to this is the essence of polished surfaces achieved through greige lacquer.

Armani Casa, house of furnishings, launched over ten years ago and have remained a strong opponent amongst luxury furniture sellers. The world may be crushing under the weight of the recession but this hasn’t had much of an effect in the luxurious world of fashionable furniture.
Although the demand for luxury furniture items had experienced something of a slump over the past year or so, Armani Casa is still going strong and when it comes to haute couture furniture, who better to buy from than Armani Casa? Armani Casa recently launched a new line of furniture and furnishing fabrics which made their appearance at the Salone del Mobile. Amongst these was a desk that drew much attention: plated in 24 karat gold, the Giorgio Armani desk is worth $38,500. Simplistic in every way from design to functionality, the only highlight of the desk is its gold surface.

The world of fashion does not believe in too many fashion moguls spoiling the design. Or so they thought. Samsung collaborates with fashion giant Armani to bring you the Samsung Armani M7500 Night Effect.
The Samsung Armani M7500 Night Effect gets its name from the sparkling LED lights fitted along the sides of the phone. Unfortunately for the phone, that is the only thing about the phone’s design that would get your eyes shining. The phone has a brushed-metal casing but Samsung is also offering a more pimped up version of it in 18k (£1199/$1,665) and 24k (£999/$1,387) gold plating. Other specifications of the model include HSDPA, GSM support and a 3.2 megapixel camera. The 12mm thin phone has a 2.2” OLED display and also supports stereo Bluetooth and has a microSD card slot.

Do it all and win it all!!! Looks like this is the driving force of luxury brand Giorgio Armani. As seen on many occasions before, the fashion mogul does like to step into different pastures other than just creating the signature fashion clothes that it is renowned for. This time its luxury furniture that can flaunt the Armani stamp.
Called Armani Casa, this cool and stylish range is touted to be the most stylish of all furnitures (you know what we mean, right). There is a luxury Bach Cocktail Cabinet (120 by 44 by 135h cm) that makes a lasting impression on anyone and everyone that lays an eye on it. The gorgeously textured doors detailed with stripes at 45-degree angles, along with a dash of the ‘plisse’ effect in glossy black lacquered wood is to die for. There are four front doors that conceal four storage compartments each finished in a stunning red fabric.
