The Granada loudspeaker is nothing like you’ve seen heard so far, no-never-whatsoever. Unlike many manufacturers, who recommend an enclosure to give you a peak, this design of the speakers is an open baffle design with no “box.” Made from a three inch thick slab of Finnish Birch plywood, the Granada represents the pinnacle of loudspeaker design. It’s not that Granada wanted 10 on 10 for their graceful design but speakers with no box means clear and powerful bass that is not going to toil around at the mercy of your room dimensions. The graceful design is machined with the high excursion woofers that features massive under-hung motors with a full copper sleeve on the pole. The pair showing below in the gallery is finished in Wenge, but the Granada can be hyper-customized to suit anybody’s taste.
The price can depend on which 5″ driver the customer chooses, but begin at $59,500 and go to $155,000. Custom finishes will add extra as well.

The invisible Martin Margiela, who is known for his eccentric and ground-breaking designs, has gone all transparent with these fantastical Glass Slippers that are straight from the fairy tale of Cinderella. These glass slippers celebrate shoe fetish in unique style, and in case you don’t intend to wear them, you can even use them as art sculptures to make your decor a reflection of your personality.

There have been many art works inspired by and dedicated to the Messiah we know as Jesus, but there’s one that stands out among the crowd. “Infinite Hope” by Quinn Gregory is a sculpture exactly the size of Jesus, (5’3”) primarily made of wood, foam and crystals. The sculpture took 4 ½ months to take shape of 5’3” skeleton in copper and then painting the same in metallic paint to give a metal look while avoiding the weight of a metal sculpture. The artist’s faith and belief in God has been best expressed as he took to the real work of making this sculpture stand out by encrusting Jesus with almost 250,000 Swarovski crystals. The hard work of 10 more months to fully embellish the Messiah has successfully brought strength to the artist who is also fighting with a rare heart disease. This sculpture is proof that faith is best expressed in deeds but not in words.

Thanks Quinn! We wish you a fast recovery and hope to see more of your artistic masterpieces.
