Rumors aside, the owner of the world’s largest yacht is hedge fund manager Elena Ambrosiadou. There have been all kinds of rumors about the buyer and the sale price but Yacht Pals has disclosed the deal, believed to be worth $120 million. Ms. Ambrosiadou is the humble owner who prefers to call herself the “caretaker” of Mr. Perkins’ 289 foot luxurious boat fitted with the sophisticated sail system. The boat has a crew of 18 with six guest cabins, eight crew cabins, a gym and a sculpture of a vintage Bugatti racing car and on top of it a mini-submarine. The Maltese Falcon’s interior is as luxurious as you’d expect and I am sure it’s enough to call it the world’s largest and most luxurious sailing yacht, and that too with an owner.

It’s a breath of fresh air to see bedroom furniture with an excellent creativity in the making. The Expose LED bed is a sustainable green bedroom furniture with a complete series of bedside and wall lamp (1 Bed + 2 Bedsides + 2 Wall lights). Taking around three months to complete one set, the LED bed is handcrafted in rotten teak planks mixed with white LED light, and a blue light effect is caused by the clear epoxy material. However, what makes the makers the masters of creativity is the use of LEDs in the manufacturing. All things are crafted in rotten teak planks and the natural wood cavities are then filled with an LED light inside and glued with clear epoxy to give that cool lighting effect. Priced at $3400, the Expose also ensures that every bedroom furniture is totally unique and different than the other.

We did a round-up of the best multimedia chairs a while ago. Though those were some of the finest chairs on the market, we have also seen a whole lot of concept chairs that features enough multimedia features on board for relaxing in solitude. Industrial designer Martin Emila’s ergonomic Media chair is another concept we would love to see turn real, owing to its arresting pod-like shape and seamlessly integrated iPod dock. The chair is crafted from a hard plastic shell with four telescopic adjustable legs that complete its extraterrestrial looks. The desired comfort is achieved with a soft foam insert into the shell, covered with leather or desired fabric adorning different colors or patterns. The headrest features a built-in 3-way speaker for surround sound and on the outer left side is placed a compact projector for video projections. The sumptuous design is perfectly complemented with state-of-the-art electronics which makes it unrivaled in terms of choice, only if it is real!!

Thanks, Martin!

Taking control of a starship has always fascinated us as kids in dreams and as adults, well, I lost interest long ago. However, when you have a look at the USS Galileo simulator, it would definitely reclaim your nerdy side that you used to be in the high school. The USS Galileo is a space ship simulator, complete with stations, networking, speakers, a main viewscreen and everything a futuristic starship should have. Built by the Space Education Center, it is being placed at the current bid of $1000.

Whew! Though Christmas decorations are traditionally taken down and put away for another year, this one can stay there for many years to come. Just to give you an idea of what this bauble is made of, consider the $136,000 price tag first. The one-of-a-kind tree decoration is made of 18-carat white gold and is plastered with over one and half thousand stunning diamonds. Surrounded by two incredible rings made of 18-carat fat gold wire, it features 188 red rubies that took a year to complete the designing and manufacturing. It was dreamed up by 38-year-old Mark Hussey, the owner of 30-year-old family business, Hallmark Jewelers. It is not always that we can express things like these in words but you gotta see it yourself to believe it.

Given the specs of hi-tech concept cars like Scion’s roadsters and the Peugeot Flux concept car with built-in Xbox 360 along with the latest entrant on the SEMS show 2009, Toyota’s Tacoma ATG that is loaded with four 24-inch LCDs and Xbox 360s, the futuristic car will offer plenty of on-road entertainment you will normally relate with limos. Another concept from the show is the Midnight Rider Tundra Tailgater by Brooks & Dunn, designed in partnership with Toyota to celebrate the legendary country music duo’s career of over 20 years. This one-of-a-kind Tundra Tailgater is dubbed as the ultimate tailgating vehicle with a slide-out tailgate that packs-in a BBQ grill, beer tap, ice chest, 42″ HDTV and Kicker sound system.

The new Curvi speakers are definitely unique in terms of their unconventional design by keeping in mind both acoustic and aesthetic innovation. Inspired by the human form, the sensuously curved absorbent free-flow transmission line provides the single E J Jordan full range drive unit with a near-ideal acoustic load with low frequencies being bolstered by the port output. The laminated plywood cabinet ensures rapid energy dissipation and hence enables the excellent impulse response of the drive unit to be cleanly delivered. While the price per pair is £3995, it’s no wonder that Curvi offers coherence in sound quality, which provides the joviality and aural stimulus of a live musical performance.
