Janus Thinking has known and read mentioned sites Born Rich and Luxist for quite a while now, but we hadn’t yet heard of two other sites, 20Ltd and the Real Estalker.

Launching this coming Monday, 20Ltd will sell only 20 uber-exclusive luxury goods online at a time. The article notes three items soon to be sold that might strike a connoisseur’s fancy (or lead someone on the road to connoisseurship). The first is a four-piece coffee and tea set by Zaha Hadid for Alessi (pictured above) selling for 20,000 GBP. The second is an aluminum shell chair by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby for 8,225 pounds, and the third is a set of 3 wallpapers, the “Devil Damask” by Timorous Beasties, for 666 pounds. Each of these items is very exclusive (only 100 or less available). It will be interesting to follow the success of 20Ltd, to see if the research suggesting that affluent people are more active online holds true.

The other site worth noting, the Real Estalker, provides a (somewhat voyeuristic) look into the properties of the rich and famous. Design ideas, anyone?
