The $1 million gold-plated Samand LX sedan

Pimping the vehicles with gold, diamond and other precious stones does help to flaunt your riches on the road. We have seen so many bling-bling vehicles earlier, including the Swarovski-studded bikes, gold plated Porsches and the diamond-studded Mercedes coupe. The latest to catch our attention is a gold plated Samand LX sedan from Iran. The $1 million car has raised eyebrows in the city of Tehran, when its owners had to drive it through the streets after an accident. The car was to be delivered to some Russian buyer, but the whole thing went wrong when the truck carrying this golden beauty collided with a pickup. The gold-plated sedan is the creation of two goldsmiths from Isfahan, who got the inspiration after seeing images of a gold-plated Porsche on TV and on the Internet.

Living inside a shipping container!

How do you like the idea of living inside a shipping container? Kinda weird? But that’s not the case with the Adam Kalkin’s prehab homes made from shipping containers. The architect makes container homes that are good looking, transportable and recyclable. He isn’t the only architect to make shipping container homes, but what he creates is exceptional and luxurious. The best examples that explain his creativity are the Bunny Lane, his own home built with a 19th century clapboard cottage inside an industrial hanger, and the push button house, which takes just 90 seconds to expand to reveal a five-room home. Anyway, Kalkin charges $150-$400 per square foot for his container homes and the cheapest of his creations sells for $50,000. Some of his prehab homes are a single room in a single container, while the others feature a range of structures built inside them with that luxurious touch. Does the idea of living inside a shipping container still looks weird to you?

Finkeldei crystallized furniture collection continues to grow in recession

Finkeldei’s crystal furniture belongs to affluent households. We have earlier also reported on their Crystal Edition collection. And continuing with the tradition of luxury, the German luxury manufacturer now offers more than 50 models with sparkling crystals to its 2009 collection. Aside from upholstered furniture, the Crystal Edition also includes tables, cabinets and sideboards for an enhanced decor. So, when other big names in the world of design are curtailing their luxury collection, Finkeldei is upping them with successful sales nationally and internationally. The company also presented their collection at IMM 2009. Werner Knoche, Finkeldei’s director says: “This year’s new additions are a definite festival for the senses.”
