Lately, a change of taste is being witnessed in the likings of the filthy-rich or those belonging to elite section of society. Against their routine thought of exhibiting their riches over walls by hanging valuable art, now they wish to sit on it. And boosting high this spirit stands the Russian oligarch and Chelsea football club owner Roman Abramovich. Respecting this new art discipline, they seem to have lost their heart to a creation of something christened as “functional sculpture”. Designed and developed by architects and artists, the demand for this furniture item can well be calculated during its inviting visibility at the first auction dedicated exclusively to modern design scheduled at Christie’s this autumn.

The auction at Christie’s is expected to feature items like polyurethane table designed by the Iranian architect Zaha Hadid and highly polished steel sofa by the British-born Israeli designer Ron Arad priced at £100,000 and £150,000 respectively. Word is around that Arad’s work will be displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2009. Wishful buyers of this world’s priciest art creation include Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

With the surging need for water and comparatively less supply or more wastage, it is now posing a question to our existence. It is the sole thing that helps us rehydrate and disinfect our self. And I feel pity for areas facing the water scarcity that makes them compromise to their routine schedule. Having realized this; the Aquaduct Mobile Filtration Vehicle concept is being devised by designers David Janssens, John Lai, Adam Mack, Brian Mason, Eleanor Morgan and Paul Silberschatz. The mobile concept comes outfitted with a large tank along with a smaller one called the clean tank. The functionality of the concept details from haulage, filtration and storage of water for use in the developing era. While peddling, the pump connected to the knob will pull water from the large water tank (passing through the filter) and lastly to the clean tank.

This procedure can be practiced whilst wandering and also when you are on hold. The clutch within employs and then unfastens the drive belt from pedal crank, enabling the rider to carry on with sieving process. So, are you set to ride over this feature-packed potential concept?

Alright, the catchy headline might seem a big vague as in terms of functionality it’s not a Matrix Unplugged chair and rather is nuclear powered. They say that the industrial finish of the chair comes from the torpedo lifting jaws of an actual nuclear powered nautical. Actually the torpedo lifting apparatus itself was an archetype that was not at all used or bulk-produced and it is this feature only that makes the chair, an elite creation with a difference. Designed and developed by Zoran Milivojevic, an artist and machinist, the chair sports working mechanical hydraulics used for regulating chair’s location and ergonomics.

And if its orange appeal is not of your kinds, then Zoran is all yours to customize the shade along with leather padding. Priced surprisingly at a fatty figure of $37,000, I am sure limited-edition tag is missing from the specks disclosed.
