Luxury Blankets

When it comes down to it, the pursuit of wealth is the pursuit of comfort—and what could be more comfortable than, well, a comforter? That’s why we’ve put together a list of some of the most expensive blankets money can buy.

Willoughby Siberian White Goose Down Comforter – $375-$1,100

This hypoallergenic comforter is filled with at least 90% Siberian white goose down. The shell is 100% microfiber, which will prevent that expensive filling from leaking out far better than a standard cotton shell would. It’s sewn through with true baffle box construction, which prevents the lumpy texture that comes from filling migrating within the shell over time. It even has a white satin trim. This luxury comforter is only available in white, but can be purchased in sizes from twin to king and is available in both summer and winter weights.

Stacks & Stacks Alpaca Fur Bedspread – $996

 

This queen-sized luxury bedspread is made with soft Alpaca fur—the softest fur in the world. It also features a genuine Alpaca leather backing. Be warned, however, that the sheet covering the backing may be a little rough. The fur bedspread can be purchased in three colors—white, beige and dark brown.

Kumi Kookoon’s Silk Dream Blankets – $1,113-$1,526

 

Perhaps the king of all luxury blankets, Kumi Kookoon makes their blankets from the finest Chinese raw mulberry silk—from the charmeuse silk shell to the stretched silk filling. The blankets use an innovate modular design wherein the smaller winter blanket is tied to the top of the summer blanket, leaving a six-inch border of visible summer blanket. The blankets can be purchased in a variety of colors and are purchased separately—meaning the full winter/summer blanket combo can cost over $3,000.

Luxury Children’s Beds

Sleep is just as important—if not more important—to kids as it is to adults. So if you have the cash, why not treat your kids to one of these luxury children’s beds?
Vi-Spring, maker of luxury beds of all kinds, created these divan beds to provide comfort and support to children five years and older. Best of all, the beds are made with 100% natural materials—as long as you don’t count the metal springs, at least. Vi-Spring contends that natural materials such as cotton or lambswool breathe more readily than synthetic materials and allow for a more restful night.

Vi-Spring’s luxury children’s beds are handcrafted with your choice of over sixty mattresses and divan fabrics. Prices start at £1,200—that’s around US $2000. At that price, these beds may be the most expensive children’s beds in the world!

Artistic Recycling: Amazing Furniture Made From Old Bicycles

Stylish and unique furniture made from bicycle wheel rims, handle bars, and frames.

Where do bicycles go when they die? Andy Gregg transforms these unwanted vehicles into contemporary furniture. Using the stainless steel and aluminum frames, wheel rims and handlebars from old bikes, Gregg creates chairs, tables and barstools.

Gregg has been creating recycled bicycle furniture since 1990, refining his designs and adding more pieces to his inventory. Each piece has a slick, clean look; a positive image that one would not expect from old bike parts.
His creations also include recycled items from other locomotives. Windows from trains and cars become glass table tops and seat belt webbing is used for upholstery.

Many of these designs can weather a life outdoors as practical and attractive garden furniture. Certainly a topic for conversation, the furniture offers both aesthetic value and functionality.

Gregg offers custom-made options, so a buyer may choose the type and color of upholstery; material variations include rubber inner tubes, leather, clear or colored acrylic, cork and vinyl. Customizable furniture allows the buyer to choose the material of the armrests and the color of the seating. Recycling takes many forms and exciting artworks made from old, unwanted items is becoming more popular. Andy Gregg’s designs are certainly a unique and functional use of old bicycles.
Located in Marquette, Michigan, on the shores of Lake Superior, Bike Furniture Design Headquarters continues to create new and interesting recycled furniture. For more info and designs, visit Bike Furniture Design.
