Edison Marine Electric Classic Cruiser

Filed under: Water, Green

Oregon-based Edison Marine is now taking orders for its beautiful handbuilt 1940s-style electric mahogany powerboat, with whisper-quiet engines and zero emissions. The 17-ft. Edison Classic Cruiser (above) will be ready for spring delivery at a base price of $100,000 with a single propeller engine and $120,000 for a twin propeller model. Hand crafted from solid African mahogany, the surprisingly lightweight barrel-back craft can reach speeds of up to 30 mph with twin 85-hp electric motors. It can cruise for 8-10 hours at hull speed on one charge of the batteries, which are fully rechargeable using a standard AC/DC 110/220V outlet in just 3-4 hours. Options include a full leather interior and an on board gas generator for remote battery charging.

Louis XV Pet Pavilion

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Pets

This Louis XV Pet Pavilion is only for animals who really deserve to live like kings. It is styled after an 18th century French commode (which we prefer to think of as just a little building, since it sounds a bit classier) and is hand-carved from mahogany and rosewood. It is liken with antique-style Newton Ferrers fabrics and the colors and patterns can be chosen to suit your own tastes. Customizations are available, if you need a larger or smaller bed than the 35" H x 27" W x 27" D standard, or simply prefer a custom finish. Price: $24,266.

Mushroom Stool

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Clearly inspired by the squat, rounded shape of a wild mushroom, the Mushroom Stool was actually designed back in 1961 to be entered into a design competition in Japan. It was only in the past few years that the product has come to the market commercially, perhaps reflecting a chance in consumer tastes. The stool is made out of mahogany plywood that has been bent into the sinuous, twisting final product. It would be a beautiful accent piece to add to a room in which the primary wood is also mahogany, highlighting a desk or coffee table. The designer notes that the stool itself can serve as the base of a table, with a glass sheet placed on top. Price: $550.
