Whilst it was yesterday only that I introduced you to the digital Soqi Spa Bed and today we have another multimedia creation of bed by designer Nicolas Mélan. Called “From Bed with Love†(aka James Bond Bed), the elite bed features an exceptional luminotherapic radiance built-in on the head of the bed that substitutes your alarm clock and helps in awakening you. Equipped with a DVD, big incorporated plasma screen, and the 5.1 surround THX system, it offers you the accessibility to listen to your favorite track while relaxing on bed.
Respecting the person sleeping next to you, it provides you with a silent alarm clock, thereby creating no disturbance for your partner. It meets luxury in a revolutionary style anad am hoping this Bond’s bed helps in building long-lasting bonds.

We at EliteChoice are fond of antique and designer stuff. And to update our list, we have the Superleggera armchair. Now the chair is more than 40 years old and there’s something distinctly revolutionary about this antique chair. Designed by Joe Colombo in 1964, the Superleggera is structured in an oil-varnished walnut configuration with stuffed cushions roofed on leather upholstery.
The chair is retailed at £1,974 and can be picked in the shade of your choice viz. black, yellow, orange, ivory or red.

We at EliteChoice had made you familiarize with different forms of table viz. multitouch table, walking table and various coffee tables as well i.e. self-destructibe coffee table, Retro coffee table by Calligaris plus many others. Each one has a different mood attached to it.
The one in news is the best version ever that can be designed in coffee table series. And thanks to Kyle Downes for developing a retro-tastic NES controller. Take a peep into its sleek lines that reflect high quality finish and classy glass top. And you have every right to snigger at the detail that it actually functions. Pinch yourself as it really does. Go ahead and check out the video:
Kyle was neck-deep into this for long months putting this together, opening with an inspected image of his original NES control. He simply scaled up by vigilantly crafting each piece out of MDF and chopping his own electrics onto a broken old controller board. The glass top offers a final touch; thereby offering a shield to those giant buttons along with a lot of storage space. Agreed, it’s not the high-end of the technology series but deserves its fall in the elite class. I simply loved it.

The parody resides in the very name of the chair. Don’t let your mind bent towards a pedestrian side as the chair: Walk-Don’t Walk is miles away from walking. Artisan John Carter formed a perfect blend of the fine art, interior design and social commentary and the result is before your eyes.
Developed using genuine New York City signs, the USP of the chair reside in its movement being monitored by a remote control. The integrated remote control allows you to on and off the signs when needed. Ideally, they should read: Sit Or Don’t Sit. It drives power from a standard 115V wall outlet and the custom-built bulbs can be used whenever need arouse. The configured legs of the chair are made using steel street sign brackets and are stimulated and fixed with self leveling feet.
These handmade chairs reflect scuffs and stains of living in New York for ages and if these old appeal fails to impress you then you can opt to for a whiny clean look. The seating facade is made from an inch thick via polished resin glass. It can be yours if you are willing to drop $3700.

If your kids are so fond of the Pirates of the Caribbean, how about getting them one home? Pinch yourself, as this is possible with a custom-built bed right from the Pirates of the Caribbean that unfolds as a play area. This is one thing that your kids would surely welcome. Seemingly pirate ship from a distance, this Pirate Ship Bed is all set to welcome only kits. Adults not allowed for simple reason they won’t fit in!

It dons the similar authentic pirate ship appeal and credit for that goes to its wooden feel, which is offered by a forward deck with a sail, working portholes, a wooden anchor plus four cannons on peak. You can also opt for a brass bell that comes as an on-demand accessory with this designer bed. But someone has rightly said, luxurious comfort doesn’t come cheap and following to this rule, it demands $6650 for an ordinary edition and $8050 for a complete version stuffed with bells and skulls.

Engineers working at Eyebeam, a New York arts and technology center, are radically engaged in cutting down the cost involved in making of multitouch tables by offering them open-source. Schematics for the Cubit, a multi-touch tabletop exhibit are accessible online for individuals interested in designing their own Microsoft Surface at a cost less than one tenth of the Surface’s price. Called Cubit, this boxy tabletop comes with a clear surface.
To get started, the proud would-be owner of the multi-touch table needs to have a webcam with an infrared filter and a small image projector. All you need to do is to plug in the webcam, install the Cubit software and turn on the projector and start moving. Eyebeam guys Addie Wagenknetch and Stefan Hechenberger share that they were liberating the Cubit to highlight the visibility that anyone can build a multitouch table.
In addition to designs and online software’s, the duo would be selling DIY kits featuring instructions and parts.
Lately, the Cubit was exhibited 0at the Maker Faire together with handful of other open-source multi-touch projects. Initially open-source focused only upon software but with time DIYers like Eyebeam andBug Labs are now taking the attitude into the dominion of hardware as well.
