The Goldmund Reference II
There is a cold, hard beauty to the world’s most expensive turntable. It is a high-precision turntable with level calibration to less than 1/100th of a millimeter, cancelling reflections of vibrations in the platter at such a high quality that only five are made per year. $300,000, goldmund.com

Desktop Jellyfish Tank Sleek, unusual, and easy to maintain, this jellyfish tank by Alex Andon is truly a living work of art. Tech elements like an air diffuser and increased laminar flow make the tank perfect for the unique species, while stylistic choices like a color-changing LED and invisible wires make this an undeniably chic addition to any home or office. $500, jellyfishart.com, kickstarter.com
Colnago for Ferrari CF8 Bicycle This limited-edition is one of only 200 bikes manufactured by Ferrari, and is handmade from carbon fiber for strength and unhindered speed. Electronic gear change activation and an anatomical shape take this above and beyond your average two-wheeler. $16,675, ferrari.com
Alexandra Llewellyn Backgammon Boards This artist has put a twist on an ancient game, creating four unique designs – from neo-classic nudes to elegant antlers, all sheathed in high-quality wooden cases and leather lining. Once disguised as a book on the shelf of 13th century nobility, it is now masquerading as a piece of art on your coffee table. $2,825, alexandralldesign.com
“11” The Beautiful Game Foosball Table Forget your wobbly arcade fare; this spaceship-like foosball table is a work of art. The sculptural lines, mirror-chrome finish, and minimalist design elements put the emphasis where it should be – on the action. Starting at $66,382, 11thegame.com

Through the Smoke The millennia-old argileh has been chicly reinterpreted by Porsche in frosted glass, clean lines, and brushed aluminum. The minimalist approach is a dramatic departure from the glitter-bedazzled bases and fringed hoses that we normally see, and the FlexTec material used is found in many other tech-savvy Porsche inventions for durability and strength. Price upon request, Porsche Design Store at Atlantis the Palm
Limited Edition K2 and Rolling Stones Skis
Vincent Facquet is pool’s triple world champion, so it’s no surprise that he would build the world’s best and most exclusive pool tables. Surprisingly, however, the only diamonds that you’ll find on this field are the ones used in the game. Although gold and platinum are used in the exterior design, the table’s main goal is ultra functional. The table features large automated drawers that can hold pool cues and balls and includes a built-in triangle.
It’s only rock and roll, but we like it. In honor of Rolling Stones’ 50th anniversary, the legendary group has teamed with K2 Skies to create a limited edition pair of skiing boards. Design details include the band’s original concert list, famous lyrics, and rare photographs of the band, which with time will only raise their novelty value. These boards will be available at K2 authorized dealers on November 15th.
