M Series by Yellow Diva

January 23rd, 2013

Yellow Diva don’t design wallflowers, and the new range by David Walley is no different.

The visual impact of the M Series, however, comes from the human aspect built into the form – which begs the viewer to recline, ease down, and stretch out upon the pieces.

M Series: Buttoned Armchair

Upholstered in 100% eco worsted wool, with oversized felt buttons, and standing on thick solid American Oak base and legs, David Walley has combined the languorous relaxation of Eastern furniture with the distinguished lines of Western formality.

M Series: Buttoned Chaise Lounge

M Series is made in Melbourne and made to last, boasting a ten year guarantee on the eco ply/hardwood frames, and a ten year guarantee on the GECA-certified, fire retardant foam.

M Series: Buttoned Ottoman

M Series can be upholstered in fabric or leather. Their recommendations for upholstery are Antonio Ferre Toscana (80% linen, 20% cotton), Kvadrat Molly (EU Eco label), or Nubuck leather.

The large felt buttons come in cream or black with an option of vivid contrast button cord.

M Series: Buttoned Sofa

Consisting of an armchair, an ottoman, a chaise lounge, and a 2- or 2.5-seater sofa, M Series by Yellow Diva bespeaks old world grandeur and an Oriental knowledge of relaxation.

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.
