Art Hide: Design Meets Cowhide

May 25th, 2011

The idea for Art Hide was born when Founding Director Kura Perkins travelled to Argentina and discovered the work of local artisan traders.

The rug that inspired her was “like nothing [she’d] seen before. It was an amazing design, with a soft and silky texture. The rug construction and stitching were beautiful and of extremely high quality,” said Perkins.

Now available in Australia, Art Hide promises a collection of natural floor rugs in a range of designs, with bespoke design also offered by the company.

Sentinel Bar and Grill in Perth’s CBD is the first project to feature an Art Hide product – a gradient wall piece in soft caramel, rich chocolate and dark black/brown that creates a striking contrast with the surrounding jarrah and glass surfaces.

Don’t miss Art Hide at Saturday in Design this year, where you can experience the company’s product range first-hand. In the meantime, visit their website for more information on their designs.

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.
