Kurt Cobain Converse Collection..wtf??!?!

I'm a little bit gob smacked but this is a sick shoe.

VERTICAL EDGE COUCH


The Vertical Edge couch is designed by Swedish furniture designer Jonas Wannfors for LYX. It comprises of three modules (straight, exchange and end) that can be arranged in your own way to allow for the most distinctive seating arrangement.

GESSI LED BATHROOM FAUCET




I can't believe this is my second "faucet" post. I must have a fetish for them but this one is cooler and I couldn't resist.

This LED Bathroom Faucet, the Rettangolo Color, is a part of the new Colored Light faucet collection by Gessi. On the passage of water a temperature sensitive LED lights up in different shades of color: blue, purple, or red, according to the water temperature. Thanks to a refractive process of the light, the whole jet is colored, resulting in the lighting effect. It allows you to visually perceive the temperature of the water avoiding useless wastes of energy and preventing the risk of too-hot water. Designed by Prospero Rasulo.

"OFT" TRANSFORMABLE HOUSE

Designed by Andrea Fino and Samanta Snidaro, it is actually a modular system for building houses. The name OFT comes from the word Loft, in which it has been taken out the "L", that has to be meant like the dimension "Large". The OFT is in fact of limited dimensions in its basic composition, but, as well as the loft, it is characterized by spaces adaptable to changeable necessities. The cost of the whole set will vary according to the requirements but the company price is 3000 Euros/square meter ($ 4670 /square meter) .

Diesel 5-Time Zone Watch

World travelers need to look chic as they jet-set between time zones. Diesel’s made it infinitely easier with a watch that shows the time in LA, New York, London, Paris, and Tokyo. It retails for $550, but according to the site it’s temporarily sold out. Click and refresh for your new time-piece.

When I thought a golden toliet was ridiculous...


If you can afford it, why not add some ice to your faucet? Architect Nilo Gioacchini created the Oz Diamond Edition bathroom faucet from Teknobili, and then Professor Alberto Cotogno added 282 diamonds to the design, making this standard household appliance blingy, decadent, and very pricey!

OTS x mastermind JAPAN Part 2

Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe!







The Phantom Coupe, unveiled by Rolls-Royce at the Geneva 2008 show, has already sold out of the new model for this year. Rolls-Royce CEO Ian Robertson revealed at the show that 200 Phantom Coupes have already been spoken for, representing the entire planned production run for 2008. This sportier version is seeking more attention for its form over the other RRs. However Roll-Royce CEO states that it shouldn't be considered a sports car. The Phantom Coupe's sister car, the Drophead convertible, has also seen similar success. The Drophead's sales have far exceeded Rolls-Royce's plans and is sold out through the summer of 2009.

Ghetto Fabulous

It’s a little street-inspired, but this lighting fixture made of tennis shoes is undeniably cool. It will also be available in chandelier and tabletop versions, though nothing really beats the hanging option! It’s also a great conversation starter if you’re stuck with a boring date.

PAUL SMITH PING PONG TABLE

The Paul Smith Ping Pong Table, designed by Hunn Wai. The large size of a table tennis table is a huge deterrent for those looking to acquire one. Hunn combines work and play in his creation by making the table versatile enough to be used for other purposes. Paul Smith Ping Pong Table is a combination of a ping pong table and a workstation. Using materials from a flea market i.e. a 2nd hand dining table, steel, lace, and acrylic paint, the designer assembled a versatile table. When closed, you may play table tennis, or just put down the lace net and use it as a work desk instead. Aesthetics merged with utility, the Paul Smith Ping Pong Table is very unique. And if you're still wondering about the Paul Smith name, that is explained by the fact that the inspiration behind the table actually lies behind the designer's prized pair of Paul Smith Bunny sneakers.

Do You Remember what Au Stands For?


Show a little fashion love for the science nerd inside you with these rings by ITSNONAME that celebrate the Periodic Table. The silver version’s set at $205, while the gold goes for $2,200, and platinum is up there at $6,500. It’s an expensive way to remember a few of the elements or a super chic way to admit that you love science.

I like getting smashed

ARRIVE ALIVE, an anti-drunk driving organization is throwing a new campaign right at your face, placing life-size stickers of what it looks like a super hot drunk chick in men and women’s bathrooms in major cities. An attempt to raise awareness over “Girls Gone Wild” types getting crunked behind the wheel. This is definitely something to check out and take inspiration from it.

This is the type of shock ads that make you think how ridiculous you look when you get absolutely trashed.

Hermes x Bugatti Veyron FBG








The pop-icon collaboration never ends. The Bugatti Veyron is considered one of the world's fastest production cars with a 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 253mph. So what happens when you let one of the world's top fashion house design this amazing car? The result - a Hermes x Bugatti Veyron FBG which not only blows your mind but also blows your wallet. On March 4th, this Hermes x Bugatti Veyron FBG was unveiled at the Geneva Motor show. This supercar features a classy maroon exterior and a matching interior. It also comes with a special edition Hermes branded 22 inch wheels and fuel-filler cap. Price tag - 1.55M Euros.

Not going to lie but it looks exactly the same when it was initially unveiled with the exception of the Hermes logo painted on the gas cap (for only an additional nominal fee 550K Euros).

Medicom Toy X Converse X UNDFTD


For all of you smelly basturrds, “Wear a sock kid! No Raw Dogs!”. That’s the new motto for this Medicom Toy X Converse x UNDFTD collaboration set including 400% + Bearbrick along a pair of Converse. If you be stankin’ up the place all the time, dust yo’ shoes off with bicarbonate of soda, slip in a tea bag or even a burnt toast overnight, just get rid of the smell please.

RKS Detailed Kama Sutra Guitar


The RKS design team has put in some major work on electric guitars and has been recognized as providing the first major innovation in electric guitar design in the past 50 years. Well to spruce things up a bit they created this very detailed Kama Sutra guitar with various “artistic positions” placed throughout the body of the guitar. Definitely a dope concept since the worlds of sex, music & art are always intertwined.
