As you have guessed - the chairs are based on the versace symbol, and the table is based on the ipod.... yes, how original. The legs are tilted out to give the impression of power, and is echoed in the design of the room.


Yet maybe this was always part of the plan. When it comes to va-va-voom, Zhang’s father's war buddies have a knack for getting it right. Last year Donatella Versace’s mini-dress surpassed the 100 million sales mark to become the fastest-selling consumer good of all time.
Apple is also shifting its cardboard model to take a 30 per cent cut on all software applications sold to the Cashmere Mafia.
Sex can be downloaded to the phone from Zhang Yin’s on-line “App Store”. By making this simple, Apple may just succeed where the mobile operators have struggled.
Because of this, investors such as Versace and Steve Jobs are betting on an explosion of e-mail and internet-enabled phones. Critics doubt that Yin will be able to do the catwalk again.
There is more to Mr Jobs than a few inches, and few have made money betting against him.
