If when you wake up you like to feel important, then get in the lime light with this Foto lamp. Designed by a Swedish bloke called Thomas Bernstrand, this light is a toned down version of the lights used in film and professional photography today.
It pumps out some serious light, but no where near its commercial use cousins.
It’s made from white painted aluminium and steel and has a telescopic pole to adjust height and angle. You can pick it up for around £500 a piece here.
Ever dreamt of coughing up £10000 for a 24-carat gold plated HP printer. At a recent IT expo, HP decided to celibrate it’s 4 million sales mark by pimping a standard HP1160 laser printer into a blinged up masterpiece.
Unfortunately I can’t seem to find out if it’s up for public sale. If anyone knows…

Straightening hair will never be as luxurious again once you use these limited edition Models 1 Diamond Straighteners. Embedded with six Dutch rose cut diamonds and set in 18 carat yellow and white gold they are retailing for a cool £9,500 ($17,575) at London’s Selfridges.
Given that diamonds conduct heat faster than any other substance, the plates of these straighteners have been designed to incorporate crushed diamonds that can reach temperatures of 232 Celsius, a full 2 Celsius higher than the best professional ceramic straighteners.
