On Wednesday 19 September 2018, XTRA and Herman Miller transformed the XTRA Office showroom at Marina Square for an impressive launch party for the Cosm chair and a select range of Maharam fabrics.

DP Design and Gensler created a variety of settings for Cosm, creatively highlighting various aspects of its design and performance. See more in our gallery:

Cosm, designed by German studio Studio 7.5, eliminates the need for constant adjustments. It automatically adjusts to whomever is sitting in it – directly supporting posture and weight, while providing a balanced recline and personalised comfort.

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.
