This one has been designed so that it has both functional qualities as well as aesthetic delight.

Oak lamination keeps the doors attractive while the special anti UV rays double glass helps protect the wine from light rays.

Piet Is A Stunning Emerald-like Indoor Stove That Is Cool To Touch
An indoor stove that looks like a giant emerald, we definitely like this one! The reigning concept of the hearth and home with its green open fireplaces has gone a step further with Piet. This one is an all new chimney free indoor stove created by an industrial design student Fredrik Hylten-Cavallius. Some of you might know that it was really EcoSmart that pioneered the trend of open fire innovation.
Coming back to Piet, this one looks very artistic, something like a huge precious stone in a shade of yellow. The stive features a brass reflector and runs on ethanol fuel in place of wood, thus ensuring a smokeless fire.
The exterior has been done in ceramic and it also has a layer of rock wool fire insulation between the reflector and the outer shell. This helps in keeping the outside cool and avoids accidents. As you can see, the stove is safe to be around kids. Again, it requires no installation. So, go ahead and enjoy the warmth of fire minus the worries and a guilty green conscience.

A Rare Black Ferrari Enzos Discovered On eBay
Ferraris will be Ferraris – exclusive and so spectacularly stylish! eBay is auctioning off one that was named in the honor of the auto company’s Italian founder Enzo. Yep, you heard it right, the Ferrari Enzos is indeed up for sale. Just so you know only 399 units were manufactured in 2003. So, that’s definitely rare but it gets more so owing to its color black, for when have we got a chance to spot a black Ferrari, not too often we can safely assume.
The sexy Enzo in eBay has a price tag of $1,325,000. And this black beauty and stunning black interiors to match. We are told that this dream machine is one of three with this configuration in the US.
The Ferrari Enzo comes with all the regular gimmicks like the original window stikcer, two keys, car cover, battery tender and luggage. Though we do realise that a true Ferrari die-hard would prefer the car in red but a black one too looks great and like we said, it’s very rare.
