Maxalto Stars in Bond Film

Italian furnishings take centre stage in ’Quantum of Solace’.

November 21st, 2008

When the new James Bond film, Quantum of Solace premieres on October 31, competing with Daniel Craig for the limelight will be selected pieces from the Maxalto furniture collection supplied by one of the film’s furniture sponsors, B&B Italia.

Set decorator, Anna Pinnock says Maxalto furniture was the ideal choice for the film because “it makes such a strong contemporary statement, it is totally functional and evokes the feeling of luxury that one has come to expect with the Bond lifestyle”.

Maxalto furnishings will feature in a number of scenes including a hotel suite at the Grand Hotel Bolivar in Panama. The Talamo bed from the AC collection and the Max writing desk from the Simplice collection both make an appearance as does a selection of night tables, armchairs and dressers.

Maxalto is distributed in Australia through Space Furniture.

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.

Powerful presence, silent service: Gaggenau’s Dishwasher 400 Series

In design, the concept of absence is particularly powerful – it’s the abundant potential of deliberate non-presence that amplifies the impact of what is. And it is this realm of sophisticated subtraction that Gaggenau’s Dishwasher 400 Series so generously – and quietly – occupies.
