It's rare you'll find a company which offers such consistently beautiful products as 20Ltd, a new U.K.-based "idea," offering exclusive design items and collaborative products. And this one hasn't even fully launched yet!
20Ltd launches April 2, 2007, with 20 products, some limited to only three editions.
I was immediately drawn to the "Good versus Evil" Opus football table, by The Eleven Forty Company. The Glasgow, Scotland, based company has created a hand-crafted, 400-hours in the making, laqeured maple wood game table, featuring painted likenesses of God, Mary Poppins, Bobby Moore to name a few on the "Good" side, and Hitler, Caligula, and Lady Macbeth representing the "Evil" eleven. Priced at £14,500 ($28,500), you'll have to act fast—naturally, they're only making 20.
Other works include a stunning "Spoon Bowl" by Toni Grilo for Christophe, and a "Silver tea and coffee tower set" by Zaha Hadid for Alessi. Continue reading to see three more of my favorite items from the collection, and mark your calendars (and clear your credit cards) in time for April 2.

I wish 20ltd the best of luck with the launch—I cannot wait to see more!
