Most Expensive Mobile Phone

OH MY GOD! now that's stupid!

(CNN) -- A Russian businessman has bought what is believed to be the world's most expensive cell phone.

The tycoon will be given the 1 million euro ($1.2 million) phone during the Millionaire's Fair at Cannes, France, on on Saturday, when the Guinness Book of World Records was to bestow the title of most expensive phone.

The "Piece Unique" handmade phone is constructed out of solid gold, is studded with diamonds and comes with a customized insurance policy.

The phone is one of three that have been produced by Swiss company GoldVish.

One of the phones has been bought by a businessman in Hong Kong, the other remains unsold.

Local Ideas with International Designs

I want to point out that the above work inspired me to post here, not because the designer is a Bahraini blogger ,but it's because I genuinely love the design.

She took Bahrain's culture & activities in her mind when she did this, without explaining the design of each month, we all (Bahrainis) understood it.

Desert Bloom, is a classy graphic designer & earned the right to be up here ;)

All the best dear - keep it up

Small & Powerful

Side tables usually comes as a set of two that matches the bedroom furniture, that makes them less obvious & adds nothing to the decoration. Well, now it's different, very different in fact! The side mini tables are now available in nice designs & multicolored materials. With that , it became one of the very important eye catching & powerful elements to use in modern interiors.
