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 Giorgio Armani desk featured alongside signed limited edition furnishings at the Salone del Mobile. The International Furniture Exhibition was held in Milan, Italy, between the 22nd and 27th of April this year.

If you happen to come across any weird thing and you fail to understand its origin then follow the blind belief that it must be a creation by wizards sitting at Dutch design studio DRIFT. Ralph Nauta and Lonneke Gordijn have invented up some attractive spirits and ceaselessly imprisoned them for you to sit your stern on. Called “GHOST,” the chair is revolutionary concept that will be 3-dimensional with the boundaries of reality. Its very presence makes you feel that it is not there et all.

They say it will be exhibited at the Salone del Mobile in Milan from 16-21April 2008.
