Lamborgini will be releasing two new luxury gadgets, an Android smart phone and a tablet.

The gold-plated smart phone will be the TL700. The phone is equipped with a 3.7-inch, 800×480-pixel screen faced with sapphire glass, and runs Android 2.3 and will only cost you about 1,821 bucks.

Meanwhile, the tablet is going to be the Lamborghini L2800. The tablet will feature a 9.7-inch high-definition screen, a 1.2GHz processor and 512MB RAM for $2,296, which is apparently also the price of four iPads.

This may sound like a groundbreaking and innovative move by Lamborghini, but the famed company has previously lent its name to tech products. These have included Asus laptops, such as last year’s Asus-Automobili Lamborghini VX7 and Asus Eee PC Lamborghini VX6.

Boca do Lobo has gone by the dictum of ‘We strive to encourage sensational experience’, and their attempt at the Versailles sofa proves it pretty much strongly. For those who are addicted to the décor and style of the 17th century French Courts, which were also the centers for Pagan art and grandeur of that age, the sofa is indeed what they would call sensational. The ornamentation and detailing is virtually a live demonstration of the time back then, much of which included societal restrictions and oppression to a large degree. Though the exact fabrication isn’t known, but marble would be most feasible as it looks. However, the carving of such a hard fabric can indeed demand a lot of tenacious craftsmanship, which is on ample display here. Some of the design neat the corners are a favorite, but the back of the sofa is what gets all the attention. The welcome contrast comes in the form of the blue velvet cushion and seating, which indeed lends a royal touch as well.

The Mirrorcube is designed to be “the epitome of sustainable luxury.” Crafted by Scandinavian architects Tham & Videgard Arkitekter these contemporary dwellings disappear into their surroundings. The mirrored surface reflects the surroundings, making the cube nearly invisible, especially from afar. The Mirrorcube appears to be floating in space but it is seamlessly mounted to an anchor tree and secured on the ground by cables. The glass has an infrared film installed. This layer, although invisible to humans, can be seen by birds so that they will safely avoid the cube.

The interior boasts natural wood décor, a drastic contrast from the ultra modern exterior. A queen sized bed and carefully selected/custom furniture finish the stark interior. Flooded with natural light, this house in the trees is the perfect retreat. Inhabitants can even climb a ladder to sit on the roof of her or his cube, lounging among the treetops.

Mirrorcubes are available for purchase directly from Treehotel, the manufacturer. The time from ordering to installation is about four months. Treehotel does every single step of the delivery, building and installation process.
