The Most Expensive Furniture.

here are the most expensive furniture that attract my interest;

1. The Badminton Chest – $36.7 million

This is not a simple cabinet where you can stuff your badminton racquets and shuttlecock in. The Badminton Chest is actually named after the Badminton House in Gloucestershire, the seat of power of the Duke of Beaufort. When the 3^rd Duke of Beaufort, Henry Somerset, was 19 years old, he commissioned to have that cabinet built. The cabinet was so intricate with amethyst quartz and other stones that it took 30 experts six years to complete the thing. The descendants of Somerset have since auctioned off the Badminton Chest.

2. The Dragons Chair – $27.8 million

 The chair’s design is a masterpiece from the Irish designer named Eileen Gray, who created it from 1917 to 1919. It was then put up for auction at Christie’s auction house, where it was expected to fetch an astronomical price of between $2 million to 3 million. Apparently, some art dealer from Paris thought the price was not high enough, and ended up bidding ten times that amount. The Dragons Chair was then passed on to Yves Saint Laurent, the founder of the fashion brand that bears the same name.


3. The Tufft Table – $4.6 million

This table is an elegant and timeless Rococo-style table hand carved by a prosperous cabinetmaker named Thomas Tufft some time during 1775 to 1776 in Philadelphia, United States, and was originally designed for a wealthy individual residing in New Jersey.

Its fretwork is carefully pierced and the legs are long, with narrowing ankles that end in ball-and-claw feet.

In 1990, this table sold at a Christie’s auction for a cool $4.6 million by Samuel Harrison Gardiner, who is actually one of Thomas Tufft’s direct descendants.

4. Ruijssenaars Magnetic Floating Bed – $1.6 million

This is a bed that seemingly floats in the air. The architect Janjaap Ruijssenaar collaborated with Bakker Magnetics and they took six years to develop the technology needed to pull off the design of the floating bed. Making use of permanent and opposing magnets of industrial strength, the bed is allowed to float 40 centimeters above the floor, while holding up to 900 kilograms of weight. The result is a visually appealing furniture for the bedroom.

5. Pininfarina’s Aresline Xten Office Chair – $1.5 million

What happens when you commission a firm responsible for the design of some of the luxury cars churned out by Cadillac and Ferrari to instead plan and create an office chair? The result is a chair fitted with all the luxury you could think of that a chair can possibly have. Both the back and the chair can be tilted individually because of its Dynamic Synchronized Tilting System. The cushion will conform to the shape of the user because of its Technogel design. The fabric is also so durable as it is made of Dynatec. You can get comfortable easily in this office chair.

6. Archeo Copper Bathtub – $67,557

Made of solid copper, this tub is hand-crafted by the very people who refurbished Lady Liberty’s torch. Over five feet long and two-and-a-half feet wide, the tub is spacious enough to comfortably accommodate just about anyone. The fluted faucet and hand-held shower unit are designed with the same aesthetic quality as the rest of the tub, featuring a finely engraved starfish-on-seashell knob. The extravagantly made tub easily takes its place as the world’s most expensive bathtub with its $67,557 price tag.

7. Northland Refrigerator - $11,000

Northland, a 100-year-old provider of custom refrigerators, has really outdone itself with this 72” side-by-side refrigerator/freezer. It has a glass door and stainless steel wrap, features “daylight” interior lighting and easily cleaned glass shelves. The spacious fridge has a total capacity of 48.3 cubic feet.

so...anyone would like to have any of those furniture...it is always can be duplicate but the original quality won't be the same... =D
