Hotel Hospitality + Design Expo 2011

March 10th, 2011

Hotel Hospitality + Design (HHD) comes to Sydney this year, with over 160 exhibitors eager to show you all their latest and best products.

It all takes place between 14 and 16 March 2011 at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre.

The expo will be divided into 8 areas of focus: design, stepping out (outdoor), hotel essentials (soft and hard furnishings), resort & spa (luxury goods), hotel mechanics (operational equipment to sustainable solutions), behind the scenes (finance and recruitment), play (entertainment systems) and technology.

Among the exhibitions will be The Italian Way of Seating, a celebration of Italian chair design and manufacture across the second half of the 20th century, with highlights including the Busnelli Fiocco (pictured above) as well as pieces from Marc Newson, Philippe Starck and even Le Corbusier.

HHD will feature all the hotel industry’s design and refurbishment needs in one place. Look out for the Refurbishment Stage, where internationally recognised design teams will recreate a hotel bathroom and bedroom suite, and the Hotel Room of the Future, where the latest in hotel room systems and fittings will be on display.

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.
