Imagine having a massage chair that is actually as live as a well trained masseur, knows where you need to be massaged and is completely alert to your needs! The OSIM uSpace is a full-body massage chair in which the seats can be warmed according to your needs. The most unique thing about the chair is that it has sensors that guide its airbag-style massaging cushions. All that you need to do is to rub the portion you want to be massaged and immediately the airbags will cover you and give you a relaxing massage.
The chair is fitted with a pod shell at the head, the idea of which the company says was inspired by butterfly cocoons. Costing at $ 6,000, its worth your while considering the features.

Posted in Designer, Diamond, Worlds Most Expensive on 5 September 2008

In Kill Bill, Uma Thurman travelled up to the so called land of the orient in order to get the best steel in the world. I dont know if the one we are going to talk about is the best or not but it is certainly the world’s most expensive knife! Called ‘The Gem of The Orient’, the knife sold for a whopping $2.1 Million.
And why not? After all, it is made to perfection by Buster Warenski, one of the most well-known and prestigious knifemakers our times have produced. The knife is like a piece of art having a handle inlaid with precious stone.
In total, it has 153 emeralds (10 carats) and nine diamonds (5 carats). The weight of the gold in the knife is 28 ounces. Perhaps the most amazing fact is that it took him a hard work of ten years to produce such knife. I don’t quite buy this theory. Why, even Eiffel tower was built in two years!

Men would be men! They can spend their life time’s earning on cars, sports and accessories. One accessory that is hard to resist for most men (and few women) is a watch carrying the theme of a car. We are talking about the latest attention grabber in the scenario- Parmigiani Fleurier Bugatti. Priced at $233,900, it will only be a life long fantasy for most people.
This watch is the brain child of three experts who have joined hand to create this wonder- Bugatti, the automobile expert along with Hermes, the ultimate authority on fashion have joined hands with Parmigiani, the esteemd Swiss watch maker. All this is done to compliment Bugatti’s new Veyron Faubourg Par Hermes car.
The good thing bout the watch is that the person on wheel can look at the time conveniently, without having to twist the arm. The watch is available in18-carat rose or brushed white gold version. If you really have your eye on the watch, you better be quicke because this exclusive watch sells only 20 pieces.

Have you ever heard about any one giving their house for free if you buy a replica of the house? I am sure none of us have heard about this cranky thing. That precisely is the reason why Gerry Mann and Cindy Mann are selling the toy house for $169,000 and offering their four-bedroom, two-bathroom home as free.
The couple living at 221 Bradley St were tired of waiting for any customers to arrive at their door for more than an year. Gerry Mann explained his classic case thus: “The Realtors do the normal thing; they put us in the book, they have an open house. So after a year I was thinking, I don’t know, I have this dollhouse sitting in my basement, let me see if I can do some creative marketing.”
Their ancestor, retired engineer late Ron Cadwell made a replica of the home 50 years back using a 1-foot-to-1-inch scale, as a play house for children. Little did he know that he his little replica home would be worth hundreds of thousands!

Expectant mothers cannot settle at anything less curious for their babies and hence keep on making efforts to gather random stuff that may invite the attention of a newly-born kid. And if you have noticed then each of piled up collection gets converted into phone, enabling mothers to let their month-old baby talk to his dad, who is at work. Replacing the pretentious phone figures of stuffed animals or plastic fruits, here stands a designer teddy bear from Kuma with functionality of a mobile phone. Exhibited at the 2008 Good Design Expo by cellular provider Willcom, the Kuma phone sports a SIM card inside similar to that of a standard phone model and can store up to four speed dial numbers (one for each paw-squeeze).
The incoming calls in this phone model are well identified by the vibration produced by it, and can be ended (after answering) by riveting the bear’s tail. The Kuma Phone is hopeful to invite wealthy eyeballs and make a visible sales by selling off each model for $500.

Yacht lovers can pay their attention here. Those willing to ride over water with an attitude can jump onto the Krysalid’42 trimaran. The elite vessel offers a fun-loving, soothing and secured ride to filthy-rich and thus trailing on it means a neat shelling of $606,600. The trimarans are known for their unsinkable nature, even though they are soaked in water. Needless to say, a voyage on Krysalid cruiser aims at revising your understanding of adventurous journey offered by any standard yacht.Feating a foldable structure that can be unfolded within two minutes; it proposes to offer more room on the bulky (42 foot) bridgedeck tavern. Available in two editions, it is purposefully designed to meet two different uses i.e. for racing shows and fast cruise racing.

It is spacious enough to accommodate 6-8 people. So, are the aforementioned reasons enough to convince you in digging out such a fat sum from your deep pockets?

Thanks Robin!

Here is the prospective contender for the choosy race to design world’s most expensive golf ball marker. Those sporty folks with an admiration for blingy products can witness it as an inviting opportunity to ink deal with glossy golf accessory coming from the house of Shano, an established name in the production of golf ornaments. Sporting platinum and diamond, the golf ball marker flaunts 1/2 of a carat of white VS diamonds measuring 1″ in diameter and 1/10″ in thickness.
Priced at $10,200, they still fall behind the pricey model of the TriMark marker retailed for $10,500. If you ask me then I am game for a new rider as the elite design is quite appealing.

A one-time shot may costs $2,500 against the cost of the Louis XIII Black Pearl Magnum Bottle, which stands at $80,000. This gives a reason enough to commemorate the precious moments by by banging off a deluxe champagne or cognac. Doing justice to the personae of filthy rich, the pricey Louis XIII Black Pearl Magnum is exclusively available at Rose Club of the The Plaza hotel, New York. It is being said that the cost of single shot is comparable to standard monthly lease for an apartment house in New York. The individuality of this Remy Martin-produced drink can be realized by the fact that it is not available anywhere across New York even as a taster.
Hand-blown from black crystal, the pearl magnum is nicely designed by Baccarat and still remains uncorked since its introduction in June. A small calculation depicts at $2,500, you can get a dose of 32 pours in the 1.75 liter bottle. Big news: Even though it demands a fat price, the bottle is not available for sale.

Spend a month in the populated urban vicinity (if you haven’t) and you’ll get to see kids driving hard with mobile sound systems singing loud. Really annoying! But if you have spare amount of dough piling with you then this unusual model of DJ mobile car can be yours. Designed and developed by Dutch artist Olaf Mooij, the creation targets the filthy-rich music lovers. Coming from Western Europe, the Dutch novelty has been abridged by an intelligent mind after taking inspiration from ‘God is a DJ’ and the car of our HOLY-POPE and the result is before your eyes.

Embellishing aerodynamics, the mobile DJ art car nicely accommodate two turn-tables together with number of speakers. On first look, I doubt the functionality of the speakers attached on the face of the car and this arouses my curiosity to meet the Dutch national and ask him to untangle the mystery.

For sure, DJ Mobile car is developed using a drivable PA system that allows you to park and then operate from a DJ platform while hosting it from open sunroof.
