French designer Julien Anglade, has come up with a hybrid yacht concept harking back to the golden days of luxury ocean cruises.

The 150-metre IKKAR accommodates 50 passengers in ultimate luxury along with a crew of 60 to look after them.

the hybrid yacht is capable of changing its shape according to the location as well as comfort of the passengers.

Designed by Matilda Sundén Ringnérs, the Rainman Carafe is a wonderful little accessory that allows you to serve drinks with style, simplicity and class.

Unlike most other serving pots, it has 8 holes at its top end which allows the drink to pour out like a beautiful shower. It is not just ergonomic, it reduces your chances of nasty spill : )

As a drinker, I’d be curious to see how the wine’s flavor is affected when it’s aerated in this fashion. Would wine open up more quickly with the ‘RainMan’ decanter, or would it become stale?

Designer Mac Funamizu brings us the two “Glassy Glassy’” translucent mobile phone concepts.

Internationally acclaimed Dutch furniture designer and artist Maarten Baas will be selling one of his latest works of art—a “melting” centerpiece that turns any room into a Salvador Dalí painting!

Constructed from Murano glass, silver and bottles of Ruinart Champagne, Bouquet de Champagne de Dom Ruinart is inspired by an 18th century Venetian chandelier and is designed to appear as if the chandelier has fallen and is melting into the table, along with bottles of Dom Ruinart and specially designed flutes.

The piece will be offered for sale at $100,000.

(Ruinart is the oldest Champagne house, exclusively producing champagne since 1729. Founded by Nicolas Ruinart in the Champagne region in the city of Reims, the house is today owned by the parent company LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA.)

French designer Christophe Pillet has designed a contemporary set to accompany Remy Martin’s top class cognac Louis XIII. This collaboration is, according to Remy Martin, a way to pay homage to the heritage and artistry of the high-quality cognac.

Pillet is well known as a furniture designer and has worked with Philippe Starck and brands like Zanotta, Cappellini, Tacchini and Pallucco.

The collaboration between Christophe Pillet and Louis XIII is a result of a program initiated by Remy Martin to support visionary artists from the world of art, design, photography and architecture. Earlier collaborations include the artist Louis Bourgeoise and the architect Dror.

Louis XIII is made from 1200 different “eaux de vie” (fermented and distilled grape juice from Grande Champagne region in Cognac) aged anywhere between 40-100 years and perfectly blended that go into making each bottle of Louis XIII.

The Louis XIII you drink now was blended in 1960 with eaux de vie that had already aged for over 40 years before that.

The new tableware collection includes a crystal glass, a silver serving platter, a crystal candleholder and a display case all of which has been designed to complement the iconic Louis XIII Baccarat decanter.

The collection is limited edition and will be offered to Rémy Martin’s established customers first.
