But I wonder how it managed to ‘fit’ into a joint venture with Italian furniture maker Moroso to produce a line of furniture under Diesel’s “Successful Living” brand name. Qualms apart, we hear that the Successful Living collection is out and doing pretty well. The most superb piece from Diesel’s new furniture line is the Xradio 2 Disc cocktail table that features a digital print of an...

I must say that the Faber multimedia mirror was one heck of a gadget released last year, as it comprised of all the high tech gadgetry compressed in one unit. The luxury TV mirror from Fendi Casa Collection doesn’t pack all that jazz, but I can assure you that it definitely comes at a much economical cost compared to its previous counterpart. The unit comprises of the LCD TV LOEWE which acts as a TV once switched on and...

If having a sound Home theatre system could make your life at home complete, I wouldn’t call that dim fantasy, because I’d fancy that myself. The TPH5 Home Cinema system is a complete realm of audio-visual action that would cater to all your need for music and movies. The Il Flota floating 80 inch screen has a natural coating that allows you viewing even in natural light. The screen panel could be fitted as a magnificent divider between a...

Here’s another item that looks very retro, although it isn’t very old in its year count. I’m talking about Patek Phillippe’s “Electronic Master Clock System” which dates back only 1975, but it’s still very bulky in its appearance. The gigantic unit features independent minute and seconds’ comparators and displays time for five different time zones, including New York, Tokyo, and Buenos Aires. It’s put up on Bonham’s for $ 8,000. As such, it’s not equipped with any ground-breaking features...

Sometimes it’s better to be safe than sorry or conventional than explosive. This is pertaining to the million inventions that feature ‘5-in-1’ or a multiplicity of applications that are a disaster in themselves. The bad example in this sphere that I’d like to quote is the Cox speaker table, which combines two items, which should ideally be kept miles away from each other. The guy, who’s invented this, has probably never placed his coffee mug on a table or...

Noted billionaire & philanthropist, Warren Buffett, has donated $1.25 billion in Berkshire Hathaway Inc. stock to Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
