Eye Candy (& Candy)

Giuseppe just brought home the new (well, October's bi-monthly) issue of Jumeriah Magazine, which is complimentary at the Emirates Towers, where he went for lunch today, and there was this incredible - and surreal - article about the high profile real estate developers & interior designers from London, Candy & Candy, who are brothers and very, very wealthy brothers at that.

Needless to say, I wanted to just see if your jaws drop as far down as mine did when I read the following excerpt from the article: (just a glimpse of how far some people take - and can afford to take - interior design)

"...We've installed chandeliers made up of jewelry you can take down and wear; installed moving projection wallpaper, infinity pools on yachts; a multifunction piece of furniture that converts into a pool, billiards or tappanyaki table; sculptures made from dollar bills; intelligent wardrobes and rails that automatically colour coordinate your outfit or match this week's trends; baths that automatically fill with your favorite temperature water before you get
home..."

Now, their style is NOT my taste, at all, to say the least, but the fact that these guys have done or will do this type of interior design blows my mind - I like to call it "interior branding & blinging" rather than design...that small word just doesn't seem to fit this level of exclusivity. Agreed?
