The refurbishment of the Raffles Hotel is inching toward completion, and new tenants have started moving in. Among them is luxury Italian furniture brand Minotti, which starts a new chapter in Singapore after more than a decade at 30 Hill Street.

The brand’s new space in Raffles Hotel Arcade (level 2) encompasses two wings (either side of the pedestrian arcade) and more than 5,000 square feet. The space was designed and styled by Minotti Studio, with members of the Italian team flying in to Singapore to work on the space.

Classic and new pieces are presented side-by-side in the hotel’s colonial-style setting, with dark-toned surfaces making a distinct contrast with the white-painted architecture.

Among the pieces showcased from the Minotti 2018 collection (coordinated by Rodolfo Dordoni) are the Alexander Seating System, Granville Seating System, Dan Dining Table, Milton Coffee Table and Russell Armchair.

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.
