Based in San Francisco, designed in Italy and manufactured in Germany, Studio Becker is a truly trans-continental operation – and they’re soon to be available in Australia.

In demand across Europe and the US for their range of high-end kitchens and wardrobes, Studio Becker’s coveted Ultimate Home Collection will bring thoughtful, forward-thinking design and the highest quality cabinetry to an Australian market hungry for classic, creative, customisable furnishings.

 

The Studio Becker showroom, in inner-city Redfern, will officially open its doors on 20 August at Saturday in Design.

The 750sqm warehouse – previously home to Rolling Stone magazine – will be as much a drawcard as the products themselves. Designed by national award-winning architect Dale Jones-Evans, the space will function as a display theatre and art gallery, regularly featuring guest artists.

 

Bespoke walk-in wardrobes and bedroom storage solutions will be housed on the first floor. Downstairs will be home to high-end, exclusive bespoke kitchens installed in a theatrical “black box” concept space.

Studio Becker’s journey to Australia began when Fiona Lochtenberg – who is responsible for bringing the brand to our shores – stumbled across a store in San Francisco with a mysterious black façade.

Once ushered in, “what followed was a tour around a veritable Aladdin’s Cave of kitchens, each of jaw-dropping craftsmanship and design,” Lochtenberg recalls.

“The innovative design and quality of everything, down to the smallest accessory was like nothing I had ever seen before.”

 

Visitors to the new Sydney showroom can expect the same sense of drama and mystery – and the same sense of having stumbled across a truly spectacular range of products.

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.

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.
