When the triple world champion decides to build the perfect pool table, you can expect something truly outstanding.

And when that champion is also a lover of good design, its likely to be a work of art. Which is exactly what Vincent Facquet has created-the worlds most expensive and most beautiful pool tables.

The table can also be finished to individual taste -gold, precious stones- nothing but the best for this jewel of design.

I Don't know anything about bikes..but i want one of these

The battery cover of all three phones has been redesigned to resemble the hood of a Ferrari and features a three dimensional Cavallino on the battery cover as well as a smaller one on the front.

The phones feature Ferrari inspired themes as well as ring tones featuring Ferrari engine sounds, only 2,009 examples of the Vertu Ferrari Ascent Ti Nero will be made. They sell HKD 70,000 HKD each ($6000)

These shoes were part of Chanel's 2009 Cruise Collection, and were actually designed by Laurence Decade, who was apparently handed an image of a gun by Lagerfeld, with the instruction to turn it into footwear

And he did. The scary bit is that these aren't just pieces of catwalk art - they are actually available to buy with the rest of the collection, priced at €2,000 ($2,800).

Latest to be seen in the pair is Madonna. We can just imagine how much trouble this confusion is going to cause at airport security ^_^

Directly inspired by Dior Couture Accessories Collection, Night Diamond is Dior’s must have make-up accessory for Christmas. This ultra glamorous metallic black lacquered case with crystal colour gems and rhinestones reveals inside an illuminating sparkling-effect powder for face and décolleté.

Dior Night Diamond Compact is priced at 90$ and is available in 2 shades, a pearly beige and a pale pink (Only available until 31 December).

$2,250,300 was the estimated starting bid for the fastest topless beauty from Bugatti, the Grand Sport 16.4 and boy! Didn’t the bid exceed the limit heftily? $3.19 million is what it eventually fetched for the Pebble Beach charity at an auction sponsored by Gooding & Company. This was the first of the 150 exclusive models to be made by the people over at Bugatti. The ones to follow will cost the buyer lesser (in comparison with the first one sold) at $1.4 million each, and that understandably would be a more feasible one to buy, if only you aren’t the type that prefers bragging about exclusivity. Also, this for me becomes the most expensive topless car ever to be sold, though an official confirmation is still awaited.

We haven’t yet come out of the ecstasy of the Victoria’s Secret’s £3 million bra worn by supermodel Adriana Lima and now, it’s time to take a peep into the Victoria’s Secret 2008 Fashion Show. The annual Victoria’s Secret’s show represents the ultimate in feminine fantasy. The lately renovated Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach was the venue where famed celebrities and gorgeous supermodels gathered for the sparkling show. Heidi Klum, the show-stopper of the show, was accompanied by 34 other models, including Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio and Karolina Kurkova. The 35 supermodels presented an outrageous collection of underwear from lingerie house Victoria’s Secret. R&B singer Usher, who started the show, was welcomed by Lima in a $5 million diamond-studded Fantasy Bra. Designed by Martin Katz, this bra is decorated with white and black diamonds and rubies. Adriana Lima, on wearing the bra, said…

I always wanted to wear the Fantasy Bra. It’s the first time that Victoria’s Secret makes a black diamond bra. A woman could definitely buy it if they love it and men, too.

And how can we forget the Victoria’s Secret’s trademark wings? Selita Ebanks was the first to grace the X-shaped stage with the pair of wings. Seven pairs of wings were designed by Martin Izquierdo for the Victoria’s Secret fantasy extravaganza themed “Return to Glamour.”

In total, 68 outfits were worn by the models. Celebrities, including Paris Hilton, P Diddy, Russell Simmons, Michelle Trachtenberg, Martha Stewart and Kim Kardashian were among the audience. Video and images after the jump.

Forget the Bling H2O bottle and the $100 water bottle from the super-glam bottled water brand Fillico Beverly Hills. This time, some anonymous firm has launched the world’s most expensive bottle of water for a cool £1,000 (nearly US $1,570). These expensive water bottles contain natural spring water filtered through the geologically famed Wenlock edge in the Shropshire countryside. Only six bottles of the LOve H2O water have been put into production and are adorned with over 6,500 Swarovski crystals. Each Bling bottle takes over one week to produce. Selfridges is already selling the LOve H2O bottled water for £24.99, but this limited edition of six Bling water bottles has been launched particularly for the festive season. Andy Price, a spokesperson for Selfridges in Birmingham, said…

Each individual crystal is precisely positioned by hand into its own perfect space and each contains the finest spring water sourced from Shropshire. The original LOve H20 is a really good seller for us but the limited edition one is a showpiece for Christmas.

At £1,000, the limited edition LOve H2O bottled water is definitely meant for those who are screaming to be noticed.

For those who own a Bentley, nothing can say “I drive a Bentley” better than this diamond-studded Bentley continental car key from Alexander Amosu. The key is handset with 101 diamonds on the Bentley famous wings with a total of 1.09 carats using color F, VS1 clarity. The diamond-studded key is priced at £5,000 (approximately $7,895). The key is a perfect gift for a Bentley owner this Christmas. And if your auto line-up includes a Lamborghini, Mercedes and Ferrari then Amosu has already created their luxury keys.

A collection of 15 exclusive residences on the magical "Pearl of the Pacific."

Inspired by local architecture and built to the exacting standards of Four Seasons, these homes present a rare ownership opportunity combining unsurpassed service and amenities with one of the world?s most exotic locations.

Four Seasons Private Residences Bora Bora. By invitation

The initial purpose for the elaboration of this concept was to create a machine with demonic sensations by avoiding the immoderation and the inconveniences that we know of the current supercars, mainly in term of pollution. A concept with the image of a muscular sports car, the Audi TT, and with performance equivalent to that of the Bugatti Veyron, the whole works in harmony with our environment and must join the perspective of 2010.

Aside from the production of the batteries themselves, this car is respectful of the environment mainly due to its electric motorization. The system of electric motorization transmits the fabulous power and reactivity of the engine. It is in harmony with the ecological challenge and meets the needs of the present without compromising the capacity to satisfy the needs of the future generations.

The R-Zero is an exceptional supercar benefiting from an outstanding architecture. The electric motorization allows an original hierarchical organization of the streams of air in order to to control the behavior of the airflow around and inside the car. The structure of the aerodynamic flow optimizes cooling of the motor and the brakes, as well as generating steady aerodynamic support, all of which is synonymous for performance.

The "Back single frame" is not a free aesthetic subtlety nor deprived of functionality ? An airstream connecting the 2 single frames (back and front) is present inside in the car : This structural column thus traverses the total length of the machine. Technique drove the design and the technical constraints were not subject to stylistic demands that, aside from the "Back single frame", we have created a product which forms part of the lineage of explosive motor vehicles. And in the end, we have an electric motor car which does not look like an electric car.

From the Giancarlo Zema Design Group (the same folks that brought us the Jellyfish 45) comes this exciting yacht, the Poseidon 180 being developed by Bugatti Yachts. The 180-foot yacht has floating decks under a giant glass dome. It has eight staterooms that offer panoramic ocean views. The yacht uses Bugatti Marine engines that can hit 40 knots.

The price is $50 million and it looks to be just a design at this point, still, what a design it is. Check out the pictures after the jump for more looks at this unique vessel.

Caran d’Ache has already impressed us with its range of luxury writing instruments, including the elegant Diamond Gotica pen. This time, we have Caran d’Ache’s 1010 Limited Edition fountain pen, which is a tribute to honor the Swiss watchmaking industry. The inspiration for the name “1010” comes from “Ten minutes past ten (10:10),” the moment when the hands on a watch dial are rightly balanced. Made of rhodium-coated silver, the 1010 pen boasts a clip that resembles a watch hand. An ornamental balance wheel has been placed between two rubies under a sapphire dome and the beautiful tiny tick marks are etched around the barrel. The luxury pen even has a piston pump set with a ruby and a sapphire crystal dome at the bottom tip.

Now, the entrants for the 2008 Design Los Angeles Challenge have been officially out and the Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design Center of North America has taken wraps off the Formula Zero luxury racer. This stylish concept racer aims to combine the “the thrill of Formula One, the track dynamics of the bobsled or luge, and the grace and efficiency of yacht racing.” Taking inspiration from Formula One and Yacht Racing worlds, the Formula Zero has been designed with a view to haul out maximum thrust from the electric motors, aero-efficient solar skin and rigid sail. The Mercedes Benz Formula Zero racing Series will be held on a transparent track, which will be visible to the spectators from all angles.

Located near Ludwigsburg in Germany, this building, designed by J. Mayer H. Architects, echoes the footprint of the original house built in 1984, duplicating and rotating it.

Lifted up, it creates a semi-public space on ground level between two layers of discretion. The skin of the villa performs a sophisticated connection between inside and outside and offers spectacular views onto the old town of Marbach, Germany.



I love the luminosity of the place and the futuristic shapes and I would love to live in this house! The flow of space just inspires so many possibilities for personalizing and living, but of course, this is extremaly minimalist and if you are looking for the toys, the mess, the half-eaten yoghourt on the table and the newspaper wrapped on the floor, this house/exposition hall is probably not meant for you :)

Adriana Lima is pictured here wearing the world's most expensive bra, costing a whopping $5million.

The Victoria’s Secret’s Black Diamond Miracle Bra is adorned with 3,900 precious gems, tiny black diamonds, 117 one-carat round diamonds and 34 rubies. On the top, it’s designed to offer a maximum cleavage lift.

Adriana stripped off for an ad promoting Victoria's Secret's new fragrance, VS Wish. "Whether her sexy poses will entice ladies to purchase the perfume remains questionable, But at least her male fans can enjoy looking."

Usually, where there are extremely coveted gadget, there are always extremely expensive luxury cases for them ! You think iPhone is expensive ? so what about spending another 2 iPhones to protect it?

Anyways Louis Vuitton thought that there is a market for the kind of folks who can afford it and so they have released a set of four cases for the iPhone: Monogram Canvas, Taiga Leather, Epi Leather and Alligator Skin.

Available only in Louis Vuitton’s Manhattan store, prices begin at $225 from the monogram canvas style to $1,120 for the alligator case.

But all of the cases are pretty inconvenient, because you've got to pull the iPhone all the way out to actually use it.

i think this one of the ugliest laptops on the plant..it just so happens that it is also the most expensive laptop on the planet. Check it out

This Bentley laptop from Ego is hand built, with authentic Bentley cross-over hand stitching along with color schemes that match Bentley's style.

The inside metal reflects the paint job on the outside, while the outer leather is taken right from the seats. The metal carry handle even takes inspiration from the car's door handles.

More than 100 people have applied to buy the One-77, the most expensive road car in the world, even though only 77 will be made.
The 200mph car was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show this week, and Aston Martin said that the growing financial gloom had not hit sales.
"The interest is incredible," chief designer Marek Reichmann told The Sun newspaper.
Aston Martin has been reluctant to release details about the One-77, but it is known to have a 7.0 litre V12 engine, carbon fibre chassis, and aluminium body.
"One-77 fuses advanced technology with stunning Aston Martin design to create possibly the world's most desirable automotive art form," the Warwickshire-based carmaker said.
It will "deliver exhilarating performance for a strictly limited number of discerning customers", the according to the firm.
The first few the cars are expected to be delivered to their super-rich buyers – who each have to pay a £200,000 deposit – in autumn next year.
Mr Reichmann explained that the 77 in the car's name did not have any technical importance.
"The number 75 just seemed way too obvious and normal," he told the Inside Line car website. "The number 77 was just two lucky sevens."
The One-77 takes the title of the world's most expensive car from the Bugatti Veyron, which was on for sale for around £800,000.

Cooling off in an air-conditioned room, I came across this hot list of 16 Creative and Sophisticated Fireplaces at Home Interiors Zone. A well-organized list that it is, it covers the best of the fireplaces that have rendered some warmth to Bornrich too. Luxurious dens aren’t complete without a stylish, attention-grabbing fireplace! And with an abundance of options up there, it becomes interestingly tricky to zero down to just a few of the best fireplaces. The Table Top designed by Carl Mertens doesn’t demand any extra space while the space-consuming Glass fireplace can only find its way in palatial houses. Vauni’s burning globe fires up with green ethanol and the Cyclone mesmerizes with its spinning tower of fire. My personal fave is the Greed for Quiet fireplace. It is fantastic adaption of campfire for indoors. A complete set with chairs to perch on, Jan Brauer’s design has actually made me greedy.

Barely had the crown of most expensive champagne settled on the special edition Perrier-Jouet champagne, it’s time to revive the decision as Boërl and Kroff is out with a stiff contender. In general, champagne is believed to be the costliest wine to produce. However, companies like Boërl and Kroff are augmenting this luxury drink’s exclusivity by launching the first print run of champagne millésime 1996. Not much is yet revealed about this pricey drink except that you can have all of 1.5 liters in one bottle of the most expensive champagne in the world. The product page also reveals the elegant packing in lacquered wooden box.

It expects to create the same bidding frenzy when a 72.22 D-color, pear-shaped diamond hits the auction block at its Magnificent Jewels and Jadeite Sale on April 10 in Hong Kong. Bidding will start at $10 million for the exceptional-quality stone that is described as the size of large strawberry and is the largest pear-shaped D-color flawless diamond to date to appear at auction in Asia.

When it comes to the price of rarified diamonds, clearly the sky is the limit.

Designed Susan Rosen & Steinmetz Diamonds teamed up to make the most expensive bikini out there.

Featuring over 150 carats of D flawless diamonds, along with a 51 carat flawless pear shaped diamond; a 30 carat emerald cut diamond; two 15 carat round diamonds & a pair of eight pear shaped diamonds which were all set in platinum, this bikini was basically rock-solid.

The infamous bikini made its debut on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit edition back in 2005, with supermodel Molly Sims enjoying the shoot & suit of her life.

Lavishness has no precincts. One of the hottest trends with the uber-rich is to be in possession of more expensive jets. We have earlier featured the lush BMW interiors of Airbus A350. Lately, Boeing contacted BMW’s DesignworksUSA group to create for them a conceptual interior for the already sumptuous Boeing 747. You can imagine the resulting design yourself.

All this has been done for an unnamed extra-rich Russian mogul who is in his mid-thirties. DesignworksUSA is all set to make the Boeing 747 a second, luxurious home for the client. The interiors of the luxury jet features a bar, scores of couches, beds, meeting rooms, stairs, and even enough space to fit in your BMW. Did I miss something? I don’t think so.

Tasting intoxicating success with its traveler set, Veuve Clicquot is gearing up to woo all the wine buffs with its latest Veuve Clicquot Traveler Boutique. Exclusively designed by Julien Ceder, this showcase also brags of a gold award for cleverly integrating all elements listed for the contest. The elegant trunk dressed in black leather dazzles with glowing interiors. Ideally meant to carry a range of high-end wines and champagnes, this trunk also features high-tech fittings like an LCD screen and a small refrigerator. A complete bar-on-the-go, this designer chest is a must-have for those who want to flaunt their collection. Estimated at $7,600 (€5,300), it stands tall at 2 meters and is more than just a bar.

Not sure how many of the pro basket-ballers would want to wear these Nike Dunk Shoes, dipped in gold, but, the amateurs would sure grab some attention with these. They would, however, have to be wealthy enough to spend $5,405 to own one of these. Who knows, it might eventually up the commitment on court, for you would have something to draw inspiration from! For the love of the game, you shouldn’t bother about how much they cost, for I am sure just the mere existence of this pair in the cupboard, will be enough motivation for you to run to the court every morning, consistently!
