Yayoi Kusama and Louis Vuitton collaboration in 2012


A collaboration between the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama and Louis Vuitton is set to debut with the New York show, coinciding with artist’s retrospective at Tate Modern Museum in London in February which will then move to the New York’s Whitney Museum in July. While no official images of the collaboration have been made available, the above image of  Marc Jacobs (pre-studliness) holding an LVMH bag customized and signed by Kusama, dating from 2006, perhaps can be seen  as a precursor of what we can expect. Lots of artsy polka dots.

The 2012 Land Rover Defender Blaser Limited Edition


The 2012 Land Rover Defender Blaser Limited Edition, with only 60 pieces ever made is priced at $64,500.
The things to note in vehicle would include the Keswick green paintjob (exterior and interior stitched leather upholstery) which will be useful for camouflaging in the wild, along with the skid plates, frontier push bars, electric winches, additional lighting system, and also a special rack on the hood of the SUV, accessible by a mini-ladder that comes with it. Since this SUV is meant for uneven paths, there will be special tires which will be apt for the uneven surfaces in the wild, helping extra grip on road. 
The most interesting addition of the lot however, is the lockable gun safe placed at the passenger or rear end of the vehicle. 
This gives space for storage and mounting of 5 long arms along with ammunition. Should wildlife photography be the main interest, there is also the provision of putting up one’s camera on the holder.


 As for the engine goes, there is the Euro-5 compliant 2.2-liter turbo diesel version, which gives 122BHP of power output.
 It also has additional air intake capacity due to the additional capabilities.

The iDesk Concept


The Adam Benton iDesk Concept comes along and any electronic intellect you possessed becomes absolutely amateur. 
The iDesk is an insanely creative concept illustrated by the talented graphic designer, that turns a sleek office surface into a massive touchscreen tablet. Benton’s idea would allow you to access the majority of your everyday workspace items as virtual accessories and even sync any iOS device you own just by setting it on top of the table. You could upload different skins to change your decor daily, save all of your files internally, and even set out digital trays to amass documents from other iDesks. 
The features of the futuristic Adam Benton iDesk Concept are endless, and for Apple to eventually bring this genius idea to life would be their coolest consumer-pleasing move yet.
