DESIGNER’ PENTHOUSE
Wish to live the life of an oil tycoon or an Arab shiekh? All you’ve got to do is invest in a penthouse in the under construction ocean-front luxury tower ‘Residences by Armani Casa’ in Sunny Isles Beach in Miami, America. Designed by Giorgio Armani and his team, the 6,000 square feet penthouse nestles on the 53rd and 54th floors. These will have luxurious amenities and the ultimate designer furnishings. However, the most interesting part is that it comes with an unusual deal sweetener — a first-class round trip to Italy to meet the famous 81-year-old designer himself. The trip includes a two-night stay in the super-luxe Armani Hotel Milano, a private tour of Armani’s flagship store after hours, dinner for two at the Armani Ristorante, cocktails at Armani Privé, and a signed copy of Armani’s book.
Price: Rs 90 crore
DINE LIKE A KING
You’ll be all at sea when you sit down to eat on this dining table. Designed by Duffy London, the Abyss dining table mimics the ocean by playing with depth and 3-D geological mapping. It uses layers of high-grade wood and glass to create the appearance of a watery abyss. The arrangement of multiple layers of stacked glass and slices of compiled wood replicates the dramatic depths of an indigo ocean, creating a view as mesmerising as the sea itself. The table also has lights within it that enable the depths of the ‘water’ to be easily viewed. The Abyss table is a statement piece that is art, sculpture and science all wrapped up into one gorgeous design, which will become an instant conversation starter as much as a functional one.
Price: Rs 24.30 lakh
FOR YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE
What would you pay for a pair of superb headphones. If you are a music aficionado, you wouldn’t want to miss this deal. The ‘reasonable’ price tag is the first thing that strikes you about the Master & Dynamic limited-edition version of the MH30 on-ear headphones. The company teamed up with American-designer Carolyn Rowan to create the masterpiece. The headphones retain the original’s 40mm custom neodymium drivers and boast of a much better look, thanks to the jet black Swarovski crystals that cover the headband and ear pieces. Forged aluminium, stainless steel and lambskin round out the overall look, which is stunning to say the least. Though the company hasn’t announced just how limited this design is, you may want to grab a pair before a famous rock star shows them off on a red carpet and they sell out!
Price: Rs 60,000
TEE TIME FOR BENTLEY
It is one of the world’s premiere automobile brands that prides in making one of the most sophisticated cars in the world. Now Bentley Motors, the 96-year-old British company has launched its own brand of golf clubs and accessories for its elite customers who play golf. Inspired by the bespoke craftsmanship that goes into each Bentley, this new collection of golf clubs, made in partnership with Professional Golf Europe, is being hand-forged in Japan. Not surprisingly, the designs are inspired by shapes from the Bentley motorcar; the dividing lines between silver and black finishes resemble the haunch in the rear-quarter panel, and the grip offerings are made to match the different interior leather options. Though they might burn a hole in the pocket, the company says it is offering this ultimate set of golf clubs as part of the Bentley experience. And if you desire to enhance the experience further, you can always have custom-made alligator skin grips added to the irons, drivers and putters!
Price: Iron set — Rs 2.10 lakh, driver — Rs 45,000, putter — Rs 30,000 & alligator skin grips — Rs 6 lakh
