Janie Collins Furniture Party

November 17th, 2010

Over 100 Architects and Interior Designers attended Janie Collins Interiors’ party showcasing new products from her 6 Melbourne-based furniture designers and suppliers.

Basile & Evans, Feelgood Designs, Insitu, Pierre & Charlotte, Xilo and Yellow Diva all attended to meet the Brisbane design industry who viewed their collections floating over two levels of space surrounded by the Jacaranda trees in full bloom.

The setting was very picturesque and seemed to put everybody in the party spirit on the last Friday night of October.

Brisbane designers were fortunate to view the first product launch in Australia of the Xilo timber stool ranges. Pierre & Charlotte wall and table lighting, the B & E swivel + rocking Glove Chair, Feelgood Design’s rattan Swing chair, Insitu’s Italian seating range and Yellow Diva’s award winning MC1 chair and Fan Deck hanging light were also a first for Queensland viewing.

Designers sat, relaxed and appreciated the outdoor furniture on the much-talked-about artificial grass on the lower level with the attendees lapping up the atmosphere partaking in exquisite tastings of food and an excellent selection of beverages throughout the evening.

Cooking from the heart, designing with precision: Chef James Won and Gaggenau’s culinary partnership

To honour Chef James Won’s appointment as Gaggenau’s first Malaysian Culinary Partner, we asked the gastronomic luminaire about parallels between Gaggenau’s ethos and his own practice, his multidimensional vision of Modern Malaysian – and how his early experiences of KFC’s accessible, bold flavours influenced his concept of fine dining.

The uncharted plate: Ivan Brehm’s pursuit of crossroads cooking with Gaggenau and human connection.

In this candid interview, the culinary mastermind behind Singapore’s Nouri and Appetite talks about food as an act of human connection that transcends borders and accolades, the crucial role of technology in preserving its unifying power, and finding a kindred spirit in Gaggenau’s reverence for tradition and relentless pursuit of innovation.
