Who doesn’t need — or at least want — a monobike, right? Well sure, okay; if you have to spend your money on some kind of luxury item, better something that lets you get a little exercise, I suppose.

This monobike may look to the future in its design elements, but it gets its inspiration straight from the past — World War II, as a matter of fact.

Alkis Karaolis is responsible for the monobike, which easily looks like it comes from a movie that more likely than not stars Christian Bale or Tom Cruise or something.

Not so, however. The motorcycles designed, built, and driven during World War II are responsible for a lot of the design elements.

Still, it may well be the future before people start trying to navigate their way through crowded city streets in this bike.

Oh em gee. I am so totally in love — and in awe, and in utter thrall — that I cannot even stand it.

Have you ever seen anything as cool as this wall? This postmodern design is all thanks to Karim Rashid, who is responsible for a number of decorative tiles, made of metal, with edgy, rather avant garde chic modern designs. More please!

These are the work of a collaborative effort with Allow Design, an Australian company of some renown. The collection between Rashid and Allow Design contains eight different designs and styles, and with each different style, you get a variety of cells in recurring patterns.

The tiles can be steel, raw steel, brass, titanium, or copper.

Seriously — more please!

Weaponry has long been a source of art, especially swords. People view swords in many ways. No many how you think of them, you will likely have to admit that, historically accurate or not, this glass katana is absolutely beautiful. It is an extremely rare sword, so serious collectors need to keep an eye out.

Monique Schloss, a highly reputable, highly skilled, highly renowned glass artist, designed the katana, which has nearly seventy diamonds decorating it. Its vast, intricate decorations include rubes as well.

Furthermore, those high quality, flawless gemstones are not merely affixed to the glass. They are not glued on or anything like that. They are actually embedded in the glass. Could you die?

Well, if that doesn’t kill you, the fact that the katana is going to be sold for no less than one million dollars may do the trick.

We all like to take fun filled, luxurious vacations, right? Sure. But who has time for that, right? Right. We are always on the go, we never have time to stop — so why not take your vacation on the go, too?

Maui Custom Suites gives you the opportunity to do just that, by way of what basically amount to hotels on wheels.

Now, I have to be honest. I am being a little tongue in cheek here, because although the rolling hotel you see here is more than six hundred square feet, you have to admit that it is kind of … really, super tacky looking.

But hey, you can get these babies to suit your needs. Full kitchens, entire bathrooms, living spaces, even laundry facilities — and an attendant there to serve you. With motion sickness bags.

Style aficionados and fans of luxury, this most definitely ain’t your mama’s piggy bank, no sirree. What we have here is the result of a little get together between Royal Delft, an old company established way back in 1653, and Marcel Wanderers.

It may look like just another piggy bank, but oh no, my good friends and neighbors, that simply is not the case.

It is part of Delft’s Blue Collection, and it will seriously inspire you to save as much money as you can — great advice, in these troubled financial times.

A good message, right? Absolutely. But a somewhat dual sided one, since the piggy bank itself costs more than twelve hundred dollars — $1,288.00, to be exact. You just might need to buy a more ordinary piggy bank to start saving your pennies just so you can buy the upgraded version.

You are looking at a bottle of Mon Precious Nectar Fountain Imperiale, a new and decidedly rare perfume you can, if you are willing and able, get in a liter bottle.

Mind you, this perfume is solely for those with a nose for rare scents and a bank account that can afford them. It goes for nine thousand dollars, so precious few of us will actually be wearing it.

Still, nine thousand dollars for a liter’s worth of perfume that is universally touted as being quite rare almost isn’t too out of line.

Also known as Precieux Nectar, the scent is an intoxicating combination of floral, musk, and fruit. As you can see, the crystal bottle is also quite lovely, and its stopper features both an engraving of a honey bee and the Guerlain emblem.

It has to be said that many people nowadays are looking for bigger, badder and better electronics and the companies are certainly trying to come up with any ideas possible to meet these demands.  Well, I can tell you that the brand new speaker dubbed the ‘Wall of Sound’ is certainly living up to the bigger portion of the deal.

Not only is this speaker by far the biggest iPod speaker out there but it is the best too.  The Wall of Sound is weights about 225 pounds, stands about a meter tall and can pump about 125 watts of rawthroated power.

Pretty much, this speaker is made up of 28 individual speakers and each of them are housed in their own chamber.  You want this thing?  $4,500 is the price for it.

If there is one thing that I have noticed when it comes to rich people – it is their love for fashion-forward things like fish tanks.  Personally, I love fish.  I do not have any right now, but I can tell you that they are really awesome and if you maintain your fish tank, you are certainly going to have a great conversation piece!

Well, ZeroEdge Aquariums is actually a luxury aquarium producer and they have come up with so many different styles that no matter what you want out of a fish tank, ZeroEdge Aquariums can provide it to you.  Having fish in your home is definitely relaxing – just watching them is awesome and can certainly change your mood.

Heck, if you want custom aquariums, ZeroEdge Aquariums is willing to do that as well, so keep that in mind!

Yes, you are seeing exactly what you think you are seeing. The bottle for Fragrance by Alexa Lixfeld is sealed by a piece of concrete — what better way to keep in all those beautiful smells, right?

Actually, Alexa Lixfeld, a designer who hails from Hamberg, is rather well known for creating perfume bottles that have concrete lids and seals — and no worries. It is completely safe and stable.

Not only are the designs quite awesome, but the fragrances are fantastic as well. One type features oriental scents with hints of rosemary; another offers the scent of sandalwood; and a third provides the cool, feminine scents of jasmine and lilies.

Plus, of course, you can always carry your perfume with you and use it to defend yourself, should the need arise!

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away … there was chess and chess was good, but a group of designers decided chess could be better and thus created the Steampunk Millennium Chess Table, and among fans of that galaxy far, far away, there was much rejoicing.

So that may well be the longest run on sentence I have ever written, but I really think it gets the point across, don’t you?

What is Steampunk, exactly? Well, simply put, it is a new trend in design that basically takes something standard and makes it edgy.

Because chess really needed to be taken to the next level, am I right? This table has a built in flash drive, video, and audio, so you can really enjoy the Star Wars experience while going for the checkmate.
