The Tio Collection from Massproductions

August 10th, 2010

Formed two years ago by design collaborators Chris Martin and Magnus Elebäck, Massproductions was launched at the 2009 Stockholm Furniture Fair.

Available from Spence & Lyda, the Tio collection features powder-coated steel wire stackable chairs and tables which combine a timeless 1950s elegance with modern detailing – such as the clever looped chair legs and table supports – made possible by computer technology.

Available in white, black, dark green and red – and with tabletops in metal or laminate, Tio is both robust enough for the outdoors and stylishly scaled and finished for indoor use.

Tio meets the stringent philosophy of its designer, Chris Martin, who wanted to combine industrial production processes with a minimal use of materials without sacrificing quality and function.

Designed for longevity and versatility and with low environmental impact, the Tio collection is a significant addition to a new generation of responsibly designed products.

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.
