I have friends who ask for the dessert list at restaurants before taking a cursory glance at the options for mains. For them, dessert is not just the icing on the cake – it’s the main event. So to those pals, and to all the sweet tooths out there, I have three words for you: Madders Brothers Patisserie (P8). Writer Tonya Turner beat a path to this high-end palace of pastry in Edward St, the city, to take tea and interview its talented owners, Paul and Luke Madders, about their journey in food.

Their passion for creating culinary magic is palpable, and their Willy Wonkainspired cafe – complete with golden gates at the entry – is a treat for the senses.

FIRST PERSON

Belinda Seeney I’ve developed an unsettling habit of shedding my winter woollies and leaving them behind like breadcrumbs that map my movements I’ve developed quite an expensive habit this winter. No, it doesn’t involve blasting the heater each morning to cosy up my home and coax me from my flannelette pyjamas into something more office-appropriate.

In winters of yore, I’d set the timer and wake in a cocoon of toasty filtered air.

But this has been the winter of early mornings – sports training, school events, pressing breakfast dates – so it was hardly worth warming the halls for the few minutes spent yanking on tights, throwing back a coffee and scraping a brush through my hair before tearing out the door.

No, it’s not my frequent shopper status at T2 that’s draining the wallet either. I mean, I’ve bought enough of their distinctive orange boxes of tea to build a bunker from

which to wait out the cold snap, but that’s not a concern. Yet. Rather, I’ve developed an unsettling habit of shedding my winter woollies and leaving them behind like breadcrumbs that map my movements.

I’m a Queenslander smug in the fact this wonderful state usually only sees about three full days of winter each year.

My “winter wardrobe” is just a collection of long-sleeved tops and dark tights I throw on under my “summer wardrobe”. However, the relentless run of frosty mornings these past few months has seen me reach for jackets, coats, cardigans, scarfs, hats, and even gloves as I race headlong into my day.

Unaccustomed as I am to caring for such attire, I discard them once I warm up, then promptly forget to collect them when I leave.

There’s a coat rack in Melbourne that is still artfully draped in a burgundy scarf I knitted about 15 years ago. It’s entirely possible that a second scarf – bought, not knitted – is refusing to check out of the Sydney hotel room we shared a few weeks back.

My lightweight black jacket with reflector strip that I wore on my early-morning runs now serves as a safety beacon from the back of a chair at a pub near the base of Mt Warning.

A cute knitted hat I’d only worn twice was last seen in the vicinity of a hair salon, while the whereabouts of a soft grey knitted coat, faded red hoodie and lightcream cardigan are still unknown.

I live in hope that once winter has thawed, these neglected pieces will come out of hibernation and find their way home.

THE CHAT

Peruvian flair Emma Schafer It has been a swift rise for fashion designer Sofia Moreno-Marcos, whose latest couture collection is set to share a runway with some of Brisbane’s most successful labels.

The Peruvian-born designer announced her arrival on the Brisbane fashion scene last year with her avant-garde showstopper in the Next Gen collections at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival.

Now the 37-year-old’s label, Moreno Marcos, will mark its prestigious MBFF 2018 Group 1 debut at St John’s Cathedral in the city on August 28. The show will also feature heavy-hitters Camilla, Alice McCall, Scanlan Theodore, and George Wu, among others.

“I’m still pinching myself about it,” Sofia says. “Sharing the runway with extraordinary established Australian designers is a great opportunity.”

Her MBFF 2017 collection was an ode to her Peruvian heritage, with colourful embroidery designed by Sofia and made in Cusco, Peru, by local artisans.

“I was born in Lima, Peru, and I lived there until I came to Australia 10 years ago,” Sofia says. “When I was a child I used to paint and draw a lot and create clothes for my dolls, but as I grew I was encouraged to find a more standard career path so fashion and creating became a hobby.”

A gift of a sewing machine changed everything. “I taught myself sewing and pattern making and started creating clothing for myself,” she says. Soon she was taking commissions.

“Both of my grandmothers were professional dressmakers so I guess you could say it is in my blood, and that’s how Moreno Marcos started.”

This year’s couture-heavy collection, which is sprinkled with ready-to-wear pieces, will track a new course for Sofia. For the first time, she will include high-end handbags – all made from fish leather in Peru.

“This collection is about finding who you are, self discovery, and is about a woman named Suna,” Sofia says. “She lives in a parallel world where all traces of past cultures have disappeared and her mission is finding out who she is and where she comes from through experimentation and reinvention by creating different characters for herself.

“I’m looking forward to showing you what I’ve got in store.”

The fabulous baker boys Willy Wonka eat your heart out. Brisbane’s Madders brothers have elevated tea party treats to a phantasmagorical art form Tonya Turner On a heritage-listed warehouse on a busy corner of the CBD, a small round purple sign pops out onto the street as a playful invitation. Inside, golden gates open to an enchanting patisserie with Willy Wonka meets Mad Hatter’s Tea Party appeal.

Welcome to the world of the Madders brothers, where siblings Paul, 44, and Luke, 40, have more than 26 of their 90-strong repertoire of miniature desserts on display at any one time. In this luxe setting of purple velvet stools, tall scalloped chairs and bubble chandeliers, the stars of the show are all edible – from reinvented classics, such as passionfruit meringue and strawberry panna cotta, through to more modern creations, such as blood-orange tart, and green tea white chocolate mousse.

Every city has its star chefs, and when it comes to the sweet life, the Madders are on the rise.

Some might say they’ve arrived, with the opening of their flagship city store opposite Stamford Plaza in March. It is their third Brisbane patisserie with others in Corinda and at the front of their factory at Jamboree Heights. This is where Paul and Luke are happiest, working behind the scenes on their handmade desserts with their small and dedicated team.

The city store is a sign of the hard work and dedication the brothers have put into the business and their craft over the years, although working together wasn’t something they’d always planned to do.

Growing up in Alexandra Hills in the Redlands, Paul and Luke were raised by their dad after their mother, who worked as a medical receptionist, died when they

were aged nine and five respectively.

Cooking and baking were not special events in their household.

“I don’t know anyone in my family that’s a chef or a cook, and dad was particularly bad at cooking. We ate a lot of steak and one veg,” Paul says.

“My grandmother was the cook of the family. She wasn’t a culinary visionary but she did cook meals for us.” That may have something to do with why Paul’s favourite dessert is their twist on her classic neenish tart. “We make it how she used to make it,

It’s the feeling of giving to someone that only artists feel. You create something and it’s that moment of happiness that person gets with an almond filling, not the horrible mock cream stuff,” he says. For the brothers, quality ingredients treated beautifully are what they’re all about.

When Paul finished school, he planned to go to university, but landing a job in a pastry kitchen changed everything.

“Dad, my uncle and my grandfather were all engineers. I was going to do a chemistry degree – that’s what I had my heart set on – but pastry had a lot of similarities to science. When I told dad I wanted to be a pastry chef, he said, ‘If you’re going to do that son, you’d better be a good one’,” Paul says.

Over the years Paul has worked in kitchens, restaurants, low-star hotels, five-

EYE CANDY … Paul and Luke Madders (left, Picture: AAP/Renae Droop) outside their Edward St patisserie; the city store (above and top right) features a fit-out befitting its amazing creations, such as these edible artworks (right, Pictures: Mark Turner). star hotels and eventually on a cruise ship making desserts created by celebrated French pastry chef Michel Roux. Michel is among pastry chefs, including Frank Haasnoot and Jordi Puigvert, who have inspired Paul and Luke over the years.

In 2005 Paul started making his own creations to sell at Jan Powers Farmers Markets in New Farm. He’d hatched a plan years earlier to create miniature desserts based on low sugar, smaller portions and healthier eating.

“I started with 10 products, and I couldn’t make enough. I had a full-time job and I was doing it after hours in a kitchen I’d hired off my boss,” he says.

Meanwhile, Luke was looking for a change from working in retail management. After helping Paul out at the market stall “in the freezing cold, folding boxes”, his brother made him a better offer. “I rang Luke up one night and said, ‘Look man, I need your help’, and 12 months later he was pretty much a qualified pastry chef,” Paul says.

Despite the cold, the markets sparked a fire in Luke to create something truly special for people to eat and enjoy.

“The market was my first sense of that – knowing you’ve spent a good deal of the night before creating what you’re going to take to the market, and seeing people’s

faces light up when they see what you’ve made,” Luke says.

It was a discovery he could now share with his big brother.

“It’s the feeling of giving to someone that only artists really feel. You create something and it’s that moment of happiness that person gets,” Paul says.

After six years at the markets they opened their kitchen, then their store at Jamboree Heights. It’s adored by locals and has expanded from 75sq m to 300sq m to accommodate the business’s growth.

These days they’re making 30,000 desserts a month for restaurants, major venues and customers across three stores.

It’s been a family affair, with Paul’s wife, Ann-Louise, working behind the scenes and their sons, Harvi and Saxon, 12, helping in the early years at the markets.

Luke’s wife, Diana, also works as a pastry chef for the business, and their son, Oliver, two, enjoys sampling their creations.

With the city store in full swing, the brothers hope to one day open a patisserie internationally.

“I would love to have our store in Tokyo. Outside of Paris, Tokyo is the pinnacle of our industry,” Paul says.

Extreme stories Award-winning poet Shastra Deo has a ghostly way with words

PAGE TURNER ... Now in its third print run, Shastra Deo’s book, The Agonist, includes musings on memory, but her favourite poems are about ghosts and hauntings.

Fiona Purdon Poet Shastra Deo entwines beautiful words for a living, but she was left speechless when she claimed one of Australia’s most important literary prizes.

Shastra won the Australian Literature Society Gold Medal for her debut poetry collection, The Agonist, ahead of other shortlisted writers, including two-time Booker winner Peter Carey and Miles Franklin winner Sofie Laguna.

“Normally I have the words to express what I think and feel, but all I could think

was ‘this is cool’,’’ she laughs. “This award has been around since the early 1900s so it’s really humbling to be shortlisted, let alone to win it. (It’s) open to all forms of literary expression so to win against those … stakes, honestly, I’m overwhelmed by it.’’

Shastra, 28, of Carseldine, will make her Queensland Poetry Festival debut at an August 26 event with poets Graham Akhurst, Jarad Bruinstroop and Ella Jeffery.

“It’s really exciting because I have been attending the festival as a punter for a few years. It’s weird now to be in the position of a writer.’’

NEW HIGH TEA LAUNCHED!

French & Mor

Shastra’s poetry book, The Agonist (UQP, $24.95), won the Thomas Shapcott Poetry Prize in 2016. Now in its third print run, it has sold more than 1000 copies.

“In my collection I was focusing on memory and the way it plays out in the body. So much of memory is how we move and engage in the world. A lot of the poems are about conflict and how that impacts the body,” she says. “(But) my favourite poems are about ghosts and hauntings.’’

Shastra has a Fijian-Indian heritage, grew up in Melbourne and has studied creative writing at the University of

Queensland. She is working on her second poetry collection as part of a PhD scholarship.

“I’m trying to get across the idea that being a poet is more than quaint … or a hobby,’’ she says. “At university I realised I didn’t have a novel in me. I like things that are contained, and poetry takes contained stories to the next extreme level.’’

CULTURE

Not all fun in the sun An exhibition exposes the dark secrets of Queensland’s islands Phil Brown If you can watch the video about Phyllis Ebbage’s years relegated to a leper colony in Moreton Bay without at least a sniffle, you’re stronger than I am.

It’s utterly heartbreaking, and the story is told in her own words. Ebbage, who was from Ayr in North Queensland, was banished to Peel Island leper colony for 13 harrowing years, leaving her two young daughters behind.

This wasn’t in the 19th century, this was in 1940, and her heart-rending tale is told in the fascinating Islands: Hidden Histories from Queensland Islands exhibition, which is on at the State Library of Queensland.

The exhibition explores the sometimes dark underbelly of places such as Peel Island.

Focusing on one person’s story of Peel makes it all the more powerful, and the fact that it is told in Phyllis’s own words makes it all the more moving. Think about that the next time you sail or motor past Peel Island.

State Librarian and chief executive Vicki McDonald says the exhibition “highlights the often unknown stories of life on Queensland’s many islands”.

“The experience of those who forged livelihoods on Queensland’s many islands is incredibly rich and varied, and reaffirms the diversity of our state’s experience,” she says.

An exhibition on our islands could fill a bigger space, but this is a compact affair that is just enough to take in.

To highlight just how big a story it could be, we should point out that from Moreton Bay to the Torres Strait there are 1995 islands, and their histories are tied up with the troubled early years of colonial

SUNNY SIDE UP ... Lindeman Island in a poster and a watercolour by Frank Rowland; William Saville-Kent’s Great Barrier Reef Fishes. settlement and the dispossession of the indigenous inhabitants.

Eliza Fraser’s story exemplifies the culture clash. The show features movie posters of the 1976 film Eliza Fraser starring Susannah York.

The Butchulla people of K’gari, Fraser Island, encountered the shipwrecked Captain James Fraser, wife Eliza, and several crew from the ship Stirling Castle in 1836. Eliza Fraser’s stories of her time on

the island became famous worldwide, although fact and fiction were a bit tangled in her telling. The story of Fraser Island is a typically troubled one.

The exhibition also looks at Erub – or Darnley – Island in the Torres Strait, with some excellent prints from local artists.

Torres Strait artists have emerged as a distinct force in indigenous art, and their intricate pictorial storytelling is fascinating.

The story of Lindeman Island includes

its indigenous past and its reinvention as a tourist island. That part of the story came to a shuddering halt when it was closed in 2011 following Cyclone Yasi. It is set to undergo a $600 million eco-tourism upgrade and to be reopened by 2022. The story continues.

FILM

Never too late The veteran cast shines in this Sex and the City-style rom-com for the grey brigade BOOK CLUB (M) êêê Director: Bill Holderman Starring: Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen, Mary Steenburgen Running Time: 104 minutes

FINE ROMANCE … A widow (Diane Keaton) and a pilot (Andy Garcia) meet again in Book Club, also starring Jane Fonda (below).

There are four good reasons to see this grey-powered crowd-pleaser about a bunch of old friends whose lives are whipped into shape by Fifty Shades’ notorious Christian Grey – Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen and Mary Steenburgen.

Even when the material is below par, this veteran ensemble shines.

Bergen’s scripted joke about a listless cat’s diet, for example, is groaningly obvious, but her deadpan delivery is not.

The Murphy Brown star’s federal court judge, who has failed to move on from a divorce 15 years prior, is the most matronly of the characters in this “third age” rom-com. But she’s also the one most capable of surprise. And her comic timing is impeccable.

Keaton has come close to parodying her former screen self in recent outings, such as Hampstead. But Book Club channels the actor’s ditzy Annie Hall eccentricity to their mutual advantage.

Her recently widowed mother-of-two is the underachieving member of the group.

Before she figured out what she wanted to do with her life, Diane became pregnant. A chance encounter with a dashing pilot (Andy Garcia) en route to visit her two overprotective daughters in Arizona could be the beginning of a new chapter.

There must be a portrait of Fonda lying around in a basement somewhere (the film’s overt reference to plastic surgery notwithstanding).

At 80, the actor is almost freakishly well preserved. It’s her character who introduces E. L. James’s steamy S&M potboiler, Fifty Shades of Grey, to the women’s longrunning book club in a bid to shake things up a little. But even Vivian is unprepared for what happens next.

The rich, glamorous, commitmentphobic hotel owner is seriously rattled by an unexpected encounter with a former love

(Don Johnson). At 64, Steenburgen is the baby of the group. Her successful restaurateur, Carol, has been happily married for almost 40 years, but the couple’s lack of intimacy is a problem her husband simply won’t address.

And Carol’s attempts to stimulate discussion by slipping him a couple of Viagra only exaggerates the problem.

Directed by Bill Holderman from a screenplay he wrote with Erin Simms, Book Club has been described as Sex and the City for Women of a Certain Age. It’s more coy and conservative than Carrie Bradshaw’s 30-something New York version, but there are a handful of nicely judged observations about ageing bodies and flagging sex drives.

And the easygoing warmth generated by this well-matched ensemble cast is nigh impossible to resist.

RECIPE

Bitter sweet Spice up tart and tasty quince for a sweet sensation, writes Alastair McLeod The first time I cooked quince it left a lasting impression.

This recipe is based on one Maggie Beer and Stephanie Alexander used for a luncheon almost 20 years ago to promote their Tuscan cookbook at the dearly departed Baguette Restaurant when I was chef. I had never experienced quince and was fascinated by their ancient appearance and transformation in texture, colour and fragrance after long, slow cooking. The event was a success.

SPICED QUINCE, YOGHURT AND WHITE CHOCOLATE GANACHE, CANDIED PISTACHIO INGREDIENTS 500g sugar 2 cinnamon quills 2 star anise 2 cloves 1tsp vanilla paste 1 lemon, zest and juice 2 quince, peeled and halved just prior to poaching

225g white chocolate 120ml cream 180g greek yoghurt Assorted flowers, optional

CANDIED PISTACHIO 125g pistachio 35g caster sugar 1½tsp vanilla paste

METHOD Bring sugar and 1 litre of water to the boil with spices and vanilla. Remove from heat and add zest and juice. Add quince and place over low flame for 3 hours. Cool in syrup.

While the quince are cooking, place chocolate and cream in a bowl over a pot of simmering water then allow to cool slightly. Whisk in yoghurt then chill until required. To serve, spread ganache on plates, arrange quince on top, spoon over a little cooking liquor, scatter with pistachio and strew with flowers. Serves 4

CANDIED PISTACHIO Preheat oven to 170C. Spread nuts on a baking tray and roast until browned. Heat a frying pan over medium heat, add nuts, then gradually scatter over sugar and vanilla paste. Mix nonstop for 10 mins until sugar caramelises and coats nuts. Cool nuts on a tray lined with baking paper.

You can still feel the house that was – and it’s quirky. Plenty of plants (some real, some not), Chinese lanterns, a large fish tank with half a dozen healthy, but rather bored, perch, and a wall of windows looking out to not much of a courtyard.

There’s no liquor licence, so bring your own poison, and expect an expansive menu of mostly Chinese pop favourites: salt and pepper all sorts of things, steam bowls, stir fries, sizzling, sweet and sour, plum sauce, Sichuan. And there is pho, rice paper rolls, and a few other Vietnamese classics.

Everything we order comes clothed in starch, fried in oil, and draped in a sweet sauce. I love it. It’s the food I covertly miss, like Pizza Hut in the days when you could dine in – red checkered vinyl tablecloths; salad bar; carafes. Kim Khanh offers nothing clever, contemporary or ticked by The Heart Foundation, but there’s plenty of care in the kitchen, and the place trots out an old-school menu with aplomb.

The weak spot is a dish of Sichuan pork ribs ($14.90) – nice, lightly battered, but not

at all Sichuan. It is my litmus test. The best is crispy beef with peking sauce ($16.90) – crunchy fried strips doused in sauce on a bed of crunchy noodles, with fresh vegies strewn through the meat. Son Dong (Doong) duck ($20) is a house specialty: once again, floured meat and a rather sweet sauce, but with jardiniere cucumber – freshly cut – steeped in sweet vinegar with slices of fresh chilli. It’s a wonderful foil.

Kim Khanh isn’t the place to take Heston Blumenthal on a Discover Brisbane Cuisine visit, but I’d go there in a flash with a few friends to rekindle my youth and revel in some lovingly prepared, exceedingly tasty dishes in the most unlikely of settings.

FASHION

Spring is arriving early in the fashion world, with pastel hues and pretty accessories breathing life into wardrobes.

Lighten up your look with lilac – stylist Liana Gow-Killingbeck is tipping it as the season’s biggest trend.

Millennial pink is popping up too, but the pretty purple is a softer way to make a style statement.

“Reach for the pastel hue in a soft knit, a midi dress or a statement skirt, and style with white and denim classics for a hip yet effortless ensemble,” Liana says.

Comfort lovers are in for a treat, with fashionable flats on point.

outfit chic as the season begins to swing,” Liana says.

“Invest in a pointy pair of casual flats for an all-round staple shoe, strap into a sexy pair of stilettos to elevate your after-dark aesthetic, or meet in the middle with a classic block-heeled sandal.”

Accessories are also injecting character into season-bridging staples.

“A wallet-friendly trend currently making waves across Instagram is resin-made earrings in various tones of tortoise shell,” Liana says.

“Opt for a funky pair of retro-inspired hoops or drop earrings to lift your accessories game.”

Brisbane’s new luxury boutique hotel, Emporium Hotel South Bank, staged its first Champagne Club evening, led by local Champagne expert Bernadette O’Shea. The club will be held on the first Tuesday of every month, 5.30-7.30pm.

When Brooke Antonello couldn’t find a premium grooming service for her beloved King Charles cavalier, she decided to open her own.

The Albion resident enlisted her friend and fellow dog lover Nicole Armstrong to not only join her in the grooming service but also a dog boutique – Brisbane’s first Dogue franchise – at Bulimba.

Now Brooke’s fur baby has a primping session whenever she needs one.

“Daisy brings so much sunshine into my life. She is my child so I go to great lengths to look after her and make sure she looks beautiful,” Brooke says.

“I saw a gap in the Brisbane market and I felt there would be other people in the city like me. We offer customers premium products they can’t find anywhere else.’’

Brooke, 38, and Nicole, 34, who met five years ago as Virgin Australia flight attendants, predict their wettable vests, great for dogs who suffer in the heat, will be highly sought-after this summer.

“Probably our most popular product has been dog perfume, but people also love our snuggle bed, which is a doggie bed-to-bag you can roll up,’’ Brooke says.

Now working in Virgin Australia’s crewing operations, Brooke says owners are able to leave their dog all day at the

store after a grooming session – which includes an advanced Japanese scissor technique – because there is a full-time playtime manager for the dogs, and play areas on two floors.

“We are constantly monitoring activities, and we understand every dog has their own little personality,’’ she says.

Brooke is the dreamer, the ideas person ...

I’m the planner who likes to dot the i’s and cross the t’s Nicole, mum to one-year-old daughter Ivy, says the pair complement each other with their business strengths.

“On a business level, Brooke is the dreamer, the ideas person who loves to organise a red-carpet event, with her background in dance and performing,” says Nicole, who also has a 10-year-old shih tzu-papillon, Cino.

“I’m the planner who likes to dot the i’s and cross the t’s.’’

Brooke says she and Nicole also have plans to open another Dogue store, in Brisbane’s inner-northern suburbs.

Images and text from The Alchemy of Things by Karen McCartney, Murdoch Books, RRP $59.99. Photography by Michael Wee. Styling by David Harrison

Creative worlds Author Karen McCartney spotlights home owners who curate living spaces as backdrops to lives lived large The decorating pendulum has swung away from the instant gratification of popular culture, the swift satisfaction of the one-stop shop, and the “look du jour”, says revered interiors editor Karen McCartney.

With her latest coffee table book, The Alchemy of Things – Interiors Shaped

by Curious Minds, Karen demonstrates that while curatorial know-how is one thing, an understanding of how to place objects, works of art and furniture together to theatrical, empathetic or beautiful effect is constantly at play.

“The creatives featured in this book have an instinct for placement that soars above the prosaic, as they find visual commonalities in all sorts of pieces, regardless of their provenance or monetary value,” she says.

The Alchemy of Things explores the homes of 18 global creatives who take an eccentric, whimsical, curated and clever approach to their living space.

“To me, the take away is that your interior can be anything you want it to be if you apply large doses of care and conviction,” Karen says.

Here she offers highlights from homes featured in her book.

ART HOUSE, PARIS, FRANCE “Your home is a portrait of yourself.

Some people give the interior designer their keys and let them do what they want.

To us that is impersonal, a hotel room.

Here we add and remove things all the time, but these are all pieces that we love, that are special and meaningful to us.”

– Didier and Clémence Krzentowski Didier Krzentowski is something of a philosopher – he is even philosophical about the relationship between neurosis and collecting, which he began doing as a child.

While the intensity is most likely the same, the nature and value of the collections has expanded exponentially to include contemporary art, photography, design and vintage lighting, a subject on which he is a published author.

18 BRISBANE NEWS August 22-28, 2018

Clémence, his wife and business partner, is no less passionate, drawing the comparison between collecting and completing a puzzle, where there is a “treasure hunt” to find pieces needed to fill the gaps.

The apartment they have lived in for nearly three decades, in the 16th arrondissement in Paris, is on the sixth floor of a handsome Haussmann building with views of the Seine and the Eiffel Tower. While Clémence spends much of her working day in their gallery (Galerie kreo), Didier is very much at home in the apartment with his research books.

The space gives the impression that it is set up like a gallery, but the reality is much more domestic – it is inhabited as a home, with every room used every day (their two daughters, Victoire and Clara, live with them), and the art and design is the backdrop to family life.

EPHEMERAL HOUSE, SYDNEY “For me, the knack of appearing ‘effortless’ cannot be underestimated. When someone can trust their own taste and throw something together without being forced, it becomes the ultimate in sophistication.”

– Tamsin Johnson As children Tamsin Johnson and her sister travelled the world with their parents in search of pieces to fill father Ed Clark’s antiques shop.

Two key observations she made are now embedded in her philosophy.

“I discovered quality from a very young age, and I learnt that good things would always be good,” she says.

The other is to never overlook the value of comfort.

“I grew up in a house full of antiques, where my friends used to joke about the comfort levels. They called the Louis XV jacquard upholstered sofa in the TV room ‘the bench’, and not in a good way.”

Shown here, the aesthetic of Tamsin and husband Patrick Johnson (the Sydney tailor) grew and merged as she designed his shop interiors – now in Sydney, Melbourne, New York and

1

London – and they remodelled their present family home together in Sydney’s Tamarama.

“The house was an original 1940s brick beachside cottage with a warren of rooms, none of which were open to the view,” Tamsin says.

A clean sweep of non-structural walls and the light touch of a white stain on the larch timber floors, and the shell was ready for the introduction of pieces brought from their previous apartments in New York and Sydney’s Darling Point, alongside new finds pulled in during her travels and from internet searches.

HOUSE OF MISFITS, VICTORIA “This is a place of marvellous rejections, of pieces that I know to be great but for whom I have never found the right buyer.

It has developed as things failed, and so isn’t one look. I don’t like to be pigeonholed, but rather, try to find the virtue in a wide range of things.”

– Geoffrey Hatty An hour or so’s drive from the Melbourne CBD, where he has run Geoffrey Hatty Applied Arts for three decades, is a house V1 - BNSE01Z01MA

of elementary charm and an adjacent machinery shed of vast proportions.

Initially it was all about the storage, but then a desire to shape and display the objects within the space crept in.

“Over 10 years I have gradually gathered objects, placed and shifted them, hung them up, taken them down, and gradually a series of decorated spaces have emerged – often with different identities,” he says.

There may seem to be a lot going on, and while Geoffrey’s personal manner displays a sort of insouciance, there is also true grit and curatorial precision at play.

V1 - BNSE01Z01MA

“The eye tells you when enough is enough,” he says. “Sometimes I see a gap and want to fill it, but I am aware of balance, of proportion, and the value of negative space – an inch, even a millimetre, one way or another can make all the difference.”

TRANQUIL APARTMENT, MILAN “In my work I tend towards perfection, but in living spaces I like to create strong emotional environments. At home I am more surrounded by classic pieces,

4

pieces with history, which clear and calm my mind.”

– Elisa Ossino When it comes to the art of styling, Milan’s Elisa Ossino has the spatial awareness of an architect, the sensibility of a theatre designer, a painterly way with colour, and the precision of a scientist.

“I am passionate about the difference an incremental move can make on set, and I have been known to shift an object less than one centimetre to get the balance of the shot just right, for the shadow to fall a certain way and the image to work,” she says.

1. ART HOUSE A Sarfatti light is suspended above a sitting area that includes such pieces as an editioned sofa by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, a vintage Florence Knoll sofa, and a Marc Newson cocktail table made by Galerie kreo.

2. EPHEMERAL HOUSE There’s beauty in violence in the Saskia Folk artwork shot through with bullets, alongside a painting by Luke Sciberras.

3. HOUSE OF MISFITS Colour threads link the seemingly random collection of European plates above the Australian folk-art furniture.

4. TRANQUIL APARTMENT The moodiness of the bedroom contrasts with other rooms.

LAST WORD

Phil Brown I think I may have been scarred as a youngster after watching The Poseidon Adventure. But how likely is it that your ship will be swamped by a giant wave?

I was speaking to a well-known artist recently. He had just been on holiday on a cruise ship. “Never again,” he said, and he proceeded to give me chapter and verse on why not.

“But you get five square meals a day,” I said. “What’s not to like?”

Cruising is all the rage, isn’t it? And part of me would love to go on one, but the rest of me is reluctant. You may recall the story of how I got seasick on my honeymoon while snorkelling.

That’s one of the reasons.

But I do love the idea of being on a ship, and I watch lots of programs on Foxtel on the subject … Cruise Ship Diaries, Mighty Ships, Below Deck Mediterranean. Watching them may in fact be better than going on them.

I think I may have been scarred as a youngster after watching The Poseidon Adventure. But how likely is it that your ship will be swamped by a giant rogue

wave? Well if you read about the new theory on the Bermuda Triangle recently, you’ll know it’s quite likely.

They reckon all the disappearances at sea in the triangle may have been due to massive rogue waves. Gulp.

The idea of being out in the middle of any ocean when one of them turns up doesn’t fill me with joy. Which may be why I have never been on a cruise.

I’ve been on lots of boats, of course, ferries mostly, with land always nearby.

The biggest ferry I ever rode was probably the one from Vancouver to Vancouver Island, which is a lovely trip and quite calm. I have also been sailing in Vancouver, where my brother lives.

His father-in-law is a member of the West Vancouver Yacht Club. On one sail there I became so ill I had to be almost carried back into the clubhouse.

They laid me on a couch in the foyer while they all ate and I tried to recover.

I recall members arriving, horrified to find this long-haired, beanie-wearing weirdo slumped in a heap. I heard one elderly gentleman mutter something about riff-raff.

The sort of cruise I would like to go on would entail skirting the coast about 200 metres offshore. I could do that in the Mediterranean. I did see a wonderful program about a ship that travelled around the Indonesian archipelago. It went very slowly and hugged the coast. That’s my sort of trip.

I guess I could also manage one of those European river cruises they advertise on telly, although I’m not sure I’m old enough for one of them yet.

They look like the sort of thing you would do as a last resort, when you can hardly stand up and may not want to be more than a few feet from the loo at any one time. If you see me going on one of them, you’ll know it’s all over.
