Limited Edition Design: Best Christmas Gifts for 2013
Three months away from Christmas and you still do not know what to buy your beloved family and friends? Nothing to worry about – My Design Week made a selection of the latest limited edition high-end products that will rock anyone’s world.
This is a selection of products from one of my favourite blogs in the world: Design Limited Edition.
For my Mom La Vie est Belle
An authentic limited edition perfume experience created by Lancôme in association with the music box maker Reuge and crystal maker Baccarat.
Protected by two glass bell jars housed in a handcrafted music box that plays ‘Beautiful Days’ by Venus, the sweet fragrance by Lancôme is crowned by a glamorous Baccarat mini chandelier, made up of 133 crystal drops and 48 crystal tubes.
For my Dad Martell Cordon Blue Centenary
Cognac lovers surely know Martell, a synonym for one of the finest cognacs in the world.
The Martell Cordon Bleu Centenary edition giftcase contains a blue lacquered and silver bottle of Martell Cordon Bleu and a “montre” bottle containing a selection of 100% Borderies cognac specially blended by Martell’s cellar master Benoit Fil.
For my Sis Dangerous Luxury Jewlery Collection
Fernando and Humberto Campana joined jewellery designer Fabio Salini to create a surprising collection of jewelry that fuses nature with luxury.
The result is a collection of eight unique pieces – earrings, necklaces, a bracelet and a head piece – which feature silky strands of straw anchored with gold thread into brilliant ray or disc formations, rose gold bases, bamboo frames and wavy trims of crusted diamonds.
For my Brother Lebron James Audemars Piguet
LeBron James has his own limited edition of the iconic Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph, an Audemars Piguet watch styled after himself.
The watch comes in 18k pink gold and titanium complimented by a gray crocodile strap.The well achieved combination of gold and gray create an aesthetic harmony, which is accentuated by the gray dial, with its pink gold applied arabic numerals and pink gold hands. The final touch is LeBron James’ signature on the rear of the watch.
For my garage Porshe 918 Spyder
The Porsche 918 is the perfect combination of perfornance and efficiency.
The aim was to create a super sports car for the next decade with a highly efficient and powerful hybrid drive. Therefore the 918 demonstrates the potential of the hybrid drive to a degree never seen before: the parallel improvement of both efficiency and performance without one being at the cost of the other.
For my Home Crochet chest
A beautifully designed and meticulously handcrafted furniture piece of Boca do Lobo.
This sensational piece was inspired by the traditional craft of crochet, a process of creating fabric that consists of pulling loops of yarn through other loops. The solid wood frame consists of seven drawers finished with a darkened gold leaf that ensures a mystery and an elegance.
