Two news pegs revolving around this post. An eccentric $20,000 Coffee Maker much in use by a siphon bar and secondly it is one-of-its-kind specially imported from Japan. Can you ever think of taking a coffee brewed in something really bizarre away from the Dexter’s world?

But fortunately one such apparatus designed using bamboo paddles, brass-trimmed halogen heating elements and glass globes is gaining popularity at the U.S-based Blue Bottle Café. It serves you with an ideal cup of coffee within 45 to 90 seconds.

Installing fireplaces at one’s home is a style statement in itself beating the tradition of populating it with home-décor accessories. The very mention of it delivers warmth then what do one need? Days back, I talked about suspended fireplaces but a look at open fireplace is quite satisfying. It behaves no less than an open window. During winters, warm air reaches high in the chimney and in summer, air conditioned air is lost. Take home this glass fireplace by Bloch-Design. Once installed, these fireplaces clad in glass remains the centre of attraction for your room. The designer masterpieces come in various shapes viz. pyramid or rectangular and even tinted glass. This would be best deal you can ever make to bring style home. They are available in various sizes.

Call it a bubble car as Ross Lovegrove does! But this designer concept-car is multifunctional as it turns into a ‘Car on a Stick’ during day time and streetlight at night. The idea is to make less use of parking space by placing the cars on the top of telescopic poles, which then behave as street lights. This green built-up automobile concept is a right platform for all solar power driven cars that navigates using GPS technology.

It can accommodate four people and is transparent, very human, subtle, mild, non-polluting and doesn’t produce any noise. I am waiting for the day when this concept would turn into reality.

It’s very rare that the corkscrew used to open a wine bottle is pricey than wine bottle itself. Mind you it’s rare but not impossible. Lately, I found Warthog Tusk Opener by Gershon Ltd that is crafted from an actual animal tusk and a stainless steel cork fiber. This doesn’t seem less than a versatile weapon shielding you at your home, giving you a reason more to justify the cost of the tusk. This vintage-inspired corkscrew comes with bona fide handle with sterling silver end cap flaunting the Gershon seal of creditability. If you have some spare amount, then you can think of doing monogramming over it. Its tailored knife-edge makes your work easier. Clad in a gorgeous black leather pouch, this designer product is really wonderful.
