Inesa Malafej and Arunas Sukarevicius from Lithuania must love music and have a great body. The designers must love their musk so much that they can’t stop listening to music while running or working out. They have lunched the cool Dancepants Kinetic Music Player which generates electricity when you run which is in turn used by the mp3 player.
So long as you are running, you will have the mp3 player playing. If you stop running you may end up not being able to listen to music. It is an amazing idea I must say. When you are in the park, you could jog for many minutes and listen to your favourite music all along. Just make sure you hear if someone is calling out your name from behind. The MP3 player can be easily kept in your pockets.

Lady Gaga is known for her quirky behaviour and androgynous lifestyle. She is a gay icon and wants to be the next Carmen Miranda. However, she isn’t all that great and just because she is rainbow friendly doesn’t mean I m going to like her more than other talented icons such as Madonna and Kylie Minogue. She recently performed on a Damien Hirst-painted piano at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Los Angeles.
They celebrated their 30th Anniversary and some of the attendees included Pharrell Williams and Japanese superflat master Takashi Murukami. The piano which Lady Gaga used was auctioned off for $450,000. I am sure there are many fans of Lady Gaga who would like her for her infantile music and quirks that seem barely campy though she tries hard to be so.

Steampunk is a design trend that is really catching on with even some mainstream designers taking inspiration from those who love to rev it up and create that unusual yet unique look. The Millennium Chess Table is a wonderful example of the perfect Steampunk design integrated with cool features that make it a truck load of fun. Build to please the Star Wars loyal, the table follows the design of the ship religiously and with meticulous detail. The 50 seconds of music and lighting that emanates from the in-built flash drive mimics the scene from movie as well.
The designs of the table along with its audio and video capabilities make it an exclusively unique piece, that the maker claims would not be repeated by him. Of course, he promises to make non-Steampunk-styled versions of the table and sell them off.

While bloggers around the world are languorously trying to begin a new month, we have begun the month even more languorously. When we think about sloth, lethargy and laziness there isn’t a better month than November. With that being the case, there would always be room for some really chic furniture that would make us snuggle up in comfort and warmth through the dark and cold afternoons that November greets us with.
Egg Chairs are pretty famous already and the Sound Egg Chair which has been unveiled by Acousticom is one of the latest entrants in the business. The Sound Egg Chair makes sure you spend those cold afternoons not in just comfort but also in a sort of party mood with amazing speakers and sound quality.

It’s a rather regular phenomenon for brand Gerlad Genta to blow their customers away with their collections of super-stylish watches. But their newest offering Arena Metasonic is even more. One look at it and you will realise the many years they must have spent developing this concept. This timepiece is symbolic for holding the company’s obessession with giving their watches a musical twist. We have seen some that repeat time at your command and even those that chime at regular intervals. If we hear correct, you get both and some more in the Arena Metasonic watch.
The frame is 46mm wide and has been made in titanium as well as other special metal alloys to achieve a superior sound quality. The case indeed must have taken a long time to design what with the highly stylized construction that includes technical looking pushers and levers. Even the manually wound movement is very complex since it can be seen through the dial and caseback right behind the sapphire crystals. You can see the cute little hammers too that beat playfully when the sonnerie is activated. We have a sneaky feeling that you might need to wind this watch quite often.

Pretty much like the magic of the mythical Xanadu that we have read about in poems and literary works, the new HRS100 speakers by the same name aspire to live up to the famous Xanadu reputation. Created by a Dutch manufacturer, this treat for the true audiphile feels like it has come from some exotic lands.
Here is a little dope on the company. Xanadu is locted in the small city of Eessselmeyden and has been quite busy developing the finest qualities in sound technology. The result has been the top notch HRS100. We are told that this has been finest creation by the brand so far!
