Nokia just announced a new addition to the Arte series, the Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte.

Until now, there was the original variant in black metal and the Sapphire Arte with a gem in the D-pad and genuine leather on the front and back.

The Carbon Arte, as its name implies, has panels of carbon fiber in its front and rear faces, along with titanium, stainless steel, and polished glass.

Internally, the new Carbon Arte is identical to the previous two models, and the only improvement is that the integrated memory is now 4GB instead of 1GB.

The new model will be available before the end of the quarter at a price of about EUR1100 ($1600). It remains a Europe-bound tri-band GSM, which means it won’t be fully usable in the States.

A rare 1937 Bugatti Type 57SC Atalante Coupe sold for $7.92 million at Gooding & Co.’s auto auction during the annual Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in California over the weekend

With its streamlined styling, low-slung chassis and supercharged engine, the Type 57SC Atalante is one of the most desirable Bugattis.

It was designed by Jean Bugatti as a two-seater sports coupe and became the rarest of the four different body styles offered at Carrosorie Bugatti : only seven were manufactured.

This luxury doghouse was created in 2007 for a sales event at a department store in Tokyo and designed in collaboration with a maker of high-end pet goods. It’s worth3.9 million yen (32,000 dollars).

The most expensive doghouse in the world, large enough for a Chihuahua or terrier, is decorated with 7,600 crystal beads and has a pillow in the shape of Hello Kitty’s face.

“There’s been a boom in luxury couches for larger dogs, so we thought there might be room for something new,” said a Sanrio (the company behind Hello Kitty) spokesman.

Products created in previous years for the week-long sales event aimed at adult Kitty fans include a Kitty-themed “i” minicar from Mitsubishi Motors Co. and a Hello Kitty Fender Stratocaster electric guitar, which sold last year for $20,460, he said.

Pininfarina, the Italian car design firm, is best known for their luxury car projects like Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati GranTurismo but they have recently extended their design expertise to produce a top-of-the-line office chair, the Aresline Xten.

The world’s most expensive office chair costs $1.5 million and has been created for the uber rich CEO’s for the Middle East luxury market.

The exorbitant price is due to expensive material used for cushioning called Technogel which conforms to the body’s contour which reduces seating pressure and fatigue by 60%. Also, Dynatec, a fabric well-liked by Olympic athletes for making you sweat free, covers the chair.

The chair is available in a variety of shades.

Described by the company as “the world’s most advanced business jet,” the $21 Million Hawker 4000 Business Jet is the first plane to offer big-jet safety and technology features at a midsized-jet price.

After a 20-year, $1 billion development process, Hawker Beechcraft has held a delivery ceremony at its Wichita headquarters to hand over the first production version of the Hawker 4000 business jet.

It has a range of 3,280 nautical miles, that’s coast to coast or New York to London nonstop, which is pretty usefull unless you want to refuel in Greenland en route to London ^_^
