This beautiful central island design by Stefan Price for kitchen specialist Evitavonni is based on the ying yang icon.

The principle behind this central, freestanding unit is that all the cool, water-based and calm parts of your kitchen - fridge and sink - are stored within the Yin (the white area) and the hot more aggressive elements - hob and oven - are in the Yang (the black area).

The design is innovative and the feel is very “oriental”, perfect for Chinese cooking. The price is £102,577 ($200,000) for the complete, including the majestic Elica Star extractor fan.

Brought to you by the couture jewelry designers at Erickson Beamon, this exquisite handmade work of art is called the Glam Rock Chandelier. Completely covered with Japanese glass pearls and Swarovski crystals, it costs $22,500 (available on vivre.com)

Linkasink, the makers of an array of artisan sinks, is now producing unique porcelain sinks encrusted with Swarovski crystals. The demand for crystal-encrusted products has lead Linkasink to create beautiful sink designs that feature hand-placed Swarovski crystals and Swarovski pearls as key design elements on the exterior of a porcelain sink bowl.

The idea for the sinks came to Kirk Guthrie, founder of Linkasink, after he saw the level of attention his wife, Toby, received for a number of crystal-covered apparel items she created. Because of her experience and expertise with crystals, Toby oversees the hand application of the crystals on all of the sinks produced by Linkasink. These luxury designs are available on 3 styles of porcelain bowls with two finish options (white and bronze).

The crystals come in a number of colors including pink, black, blue, turquoise, and a prism of colors called aurora borealis. Customers can select any color of crystal or pearls that Swarovski produces. The sink measures 17 inches in diameter and 6 inches in depth. The suggested retail price ranges from $1,900 to $12,200.

Luxury bed maker, Vi-Spring, has introduced bamboo fibre into its top of the range bed, the Monarch. Known in the textiles industry for its soft and silk-like qualities bamboo fibre is wonderfully indulgent, but is also one of the most environmentally friendly materials available. Bamboo fibre has been woven into an exclusive fabric design for the Monarch mattress ticking, as well as blended for the mattress filling with other luxury materials, such as cashmere, lambswool and mohair.

Mike Meehan, Managing Director at Vi-Spring says: “To achieve the kind of comfort that brings life-changing sleep, we make every effort to source the finest materials to make every Vi-Spring. We believe that our best resources are those that are naturally available to us.”

Because of its special structure and natural hollowness, fabric woven from bamboo is notable for its moisture absorption and ventilation, improving the ability of the mattress to breathe. Its unique anti-allergenic and antibacterial characteristics allow for an altogether healthier night’s sleep. [...]

An eco-friendly material, bamboo does not have a negative impact on the environment. It thrives naturally, without the need for pesticides or fertilizers, and is wholly sustainable. Extracted directly from the bamboo cane the production of bamboo fibre involves no chemical processing but is simply steamed or boiled instead.

The Monarch retails at £24,275 ( $50,000) for a six-foot (182 cm) double divan set and is available exclusively at Harrods.
