Aimed primarily for the Middle-Eastern jet-setter, this luxury stretch SUV is jampacked with features that spell “V – I – P” in seemingly bold, gold, capital letters. (more…)

The Concentré de Vie Modular Sofa

The Optimus Popularis Keyboard

What would make you spend more on a keyboard than you normally would? Simple: a superior one. Even simpler: one designed and created by Art. Lebedev. The Optimus Popularis keyboard, to be more precise.

Ever since word got out about the Russian design company coming out with “a million keyboards in one”, there were a lot of mixed reactions, especially when it seemed that the product would be worth more than $1000.

The Rolls-Royce Jonckheere Aerodynamic Coupe II

It has been a little over 77 years since the father-and-son tandem of Henri and Joseph Jonckheere built the original Rolls-Royce Jonckheere Aerodynamic Coupe I. At the time, in 1935, it was truly an extraordinary piece of man-made engineering. Right now, this car can be viewed at the Petersen Museum in California, and since that time, Jonckheere has contented itself with specializing on bus and coach body design. They may have thought that there is no improving on perfection. (more…)
