What does really the term "luxury" really mean? Apart from the cost, it simply means organic artificial complexity. What might seem as an oxymoron is easily explained.
Organic in this instance means "naturally" grown around axes of functionality. The more there are, the more connections and layers can be sustained in between them.
Artificial - because it is a human made system, not occuring in nature. Complexity is necessary within any "luxurious" objects, because it involves the layering of connections mentioned above, but also their refinement - and the more complex the object is, the more difficult is the refinement of its parts. High cost necessarily accrues, not on a whim, but based on the involved processes, materials and time required to design, manufacture and assembly.

I personally dislike the use of the word "luxury" as that was not my goal or motivator in work, I am simply interested in complexity. However, using such nomenclature is sadly non-marketable.

A good example of organic artificial complexity are high- end watches, but it can be easily applied to interiors as well, such as the presented bar.
