« Lâart de vivre, câest la relation ; sans relation il nâest pas de vie », disait Jiddu Krashnamurdi. DĂ©signant lâensemble des interactions entre individus au sein dâun groupe ou dâune sociĂ©tĂ©, les relations humaines sont considĂ©rĂ©es comme essentielles au dĂ©veloppement individuel et intellectuel de chaque ĂȘtre humain. Mais au delĂ de cette dĂ©finition Ă©lĂ©mentaire, il est prouvĂ© quâinteragir avec autrui est source de bien-ĂȘtre et de bonheur. En effet, des Ă©tudes dĂ©montrent quâavoir des relations saines permet de rĂ©duire le stress, amĂ©liorer la santĂ© et augmenter la longĂ©vitĂ©. Mais comment embellir nos relations avec les autres ? Par lâattention, le partage et lâexpĂ©rience. Les produits de luxe et le lifestyle enjolivent indĂ©niablement nos relations humaines. Rien de tel quâune expĂ©rience gastronomique en famille, un sĂ©jour Ă lâhĂŽtel entre amis, un after work entre collĂšgues, une parure pour sa fiancĂ©e ou une montre pour son Ă©poux pour pimenter nos relations. A travers ce numĂ©ro, je vous invite chĂšres Lectrices, chers Lecteurs, Ă dĂ©couvrir notre sĂ©lection de produits et destinations exclusifs, Ă partager sans modĂ©ration avec les ĂȘtres que vous aimez. Enfin, conscient de la richesse des relations humaines, je dĂ©die cette Ă©dition Ă toutes les personnes qui ont marquĂ© mon existence. Karim Aeid, Directeur de la RĂ©daction
Big things happen in the world. Here and abroad, to people we know and to strangers. Things that make us realize that we are extremely privileged. The issue that lies before you is a statement of that. We had the chance to spend a day with the most influential chef in the world, drive the rarest cars, spend days in the most beautiful resorts in the world, and dine in the greatest restaurants. We organized and attended the most spectacular events, drank the finest spirits and created beautiful images for our photographic legacy. It is a life that we donât take for granted. Within everyday reality, this issue is again an escape to luxury, every experience one not to be missed. Not nearly often enough we get to thank those who make all this possible, our partners and you as our reader, for following us throughout these years. So therefore, thank you for the privilege given to us to create this piece of tangible creativity and craftsmanship. We hope you enjoy reading this issue of Eyes Magazine as much as we love creating it. Martin Mackenzie, Creative Director

Even if you donât know his name, you will have probably admired his work without realising it. His masterpieces include the immense white horses on the stage of the Miss France 2017 ceremony, and an imposing gorilla on the French TV programme, Anything Goes. In Geneva, his work is exhibited at the Urban Beach Club at the Grand Hotel Kempinski, and it was during the inauguration of this summery concept space that we had the privilege of meeting the one and only Richard Orlinski. It only took a few years for him to become the worldâs best-selling French artist. His sculptures quickly multiplied to join countless international collections, and celebrities such as Sharon Stone and Pharrell Williams were two of his first clients. In 2014, the artist sold a work crafted in solid gold portraying a pin-up emerging from a crocodileâs mouth for 15 million euros. Orlinski is a real French success story, and yet he only entered the art world at the age of 37 after leading a far more normal life. âI just went for it. I dived in headfirst to break from the routine that was starting to get to me,â says the artist. He also describes this turning point in his book, Pourquoi jâai cassĂ© les codes (âWhy did I break the codes?â). âMy book is something of an educational project. While it of course describes my journey, it also offers advice on how to be fulfilled and content.â The French artist sculpts to make reality more elegantly simple, and creates works that stir up emotion in others. âAnimals have always fascinated humans; theyâre vectors of direct emotion. You donât need to be an art connoisseur to feel something when you look at my sculptures.â Orlinski particularly drew his inspiration from crocodiles (âa
symbol of a form of eternityâ) while creating his first piece in 20014 â the Born Wild crocodile in red resin. The finished depiction of the ancestral beast was defined by its gaping mouth â a characteristic observed in most of the artistâs animal works. âIt took me while to realise my art was crying out for me, in my place, constantly. And itâs not a cry of distress, but a welcome, primal, liberating animal roar.â As well as his work, Orlinski sets himself apart through his desire to make art accessible. His countless open-air exhibitions â such as his monumental bear sculptures in Courchevel, Val dâIsĂšre and other sites â are a testament to his objective. âArt stuck in a museum is aimed at a small number of people. I want to bring my art to the public.â Through joint-projects with Disney and Bandai Namco, the sculptor hopes to open as many peopleâs eyes to art as possible. âToday, you can own one of my Sorcerer Mickey or Pac-Man sculptures for less than 100 euros.â Driven by a natural curiosity, Orlinski has explored different art forms such as theatre, cinema and music. He is also a talented DJ, and has performed at numerous venues and released a variety of tracks, including Heartbeat, in collaboration with Eva Simons. He is set to appear in Francis Renaudâs film, Les EffarĂ©s, and if that werenât enough, he is also preparing a 2018 show with a range of actors, comedians and musicians. âItâs a new, interactive concept in which I surprise the audience by inspiring emotions such as humour, love and sensitivity,â says the artist. While we impatiently wait to discover his new production, his artwork can be admired this summer at the Urban Beach Club, a new, sunny concept space at the Grand Hotel Kempinski in Geneva.

Quelques annĂ©es lui suffirent pour sâimposer comme lâartiste français le plus vendu au monde. TrĂšs vite, ses sculptures se rĂ©pandent et rejoignent des collections Ă travers le globe. Des cĂ©lĂ©britĂ©s comme Sharon Stone et Pharell Williams figurent parmi ses premiers clients. En 2014, il vend une pin-up jaillissant de la bouche dâun crocodile en or massif pour 15 millions dâeuros. Une vĂ©ritable success story Ă la française ! Et pourtant, ce nâest quâĂ 37 ans, aprĂšs une premiĂšre vie plus classique que Richard Orlinski dĂ©barque dans lâart. « Je me suis lancĂ©, bille en tĂȘte pour rompre avec un train-train qui mâangoissait. Une rĂ©alitĂ© quâil raconte notamment Ă travers son livre : « Pourquoi jâai cassĂ© les codes ? ». « Mon livre câest comme une mission pĂ©dagogique, qui relate certes mon parcours, mais donne Ă©galement des conseils pour sâĂ©panouir ». Richard Orlinski sculpte pour Ă©purer la rĂ©alitĂ© et crĂ©er des Ćuvres dâart qui Ă©veillent lâĂ©motion dans le regard de lâautre. « Les animaux ont toujours fascinĂ©s les humains, ils sont vecteurs dâĂ©motions directes. Pas besoin dâĂȘtre fĂ©ru dâart pour ressentir quelque chose en voyant mes sculptures ». Câest en particulier dans le crocodile, « symbole dâune forme dâĂ©ternitĂ© » quâil puise son inspiration pour rĂ©aliser sa premiĂšre Ćuvre en 2004, le Crocodile Born
Wild en rĂ©sine rouge. Lâanimal ancestral se distingue notamment par sa gueule ouverte, une particularitĂ© que lâon retrouve par la suite dans la plupart de ses Ćuvres animaliĂšres. « Je mettrai du temps Ă comprendre que mes Ćuvres crient pour moi, Ă ma place, en permanence. Et il ne sâagit pas dâun cri de dĂ©tresse mais plutĂŽt dâun cri primal, bienvenu, libĂ©rateur ». Mais au delĂ de ses Ćuvres, Richard Orlinski se distingue par sa volontĂ© de dĂ©mocratiser lâart. Ses nombreuses expositions Ă ciel ouvert comme ses ours monumentaux Ă Courchevel ou Val dâIsĂšre, entre autres lieux, en sont le tĂ©moignage. « Des Ćuvres restant dans un musĂ©e ne sont destinĂ©es quâĂ un nombre rĂ©duit de spectateurs. Je souhaite Ă contrario apporter mon art au public ». A travers ses collaborations avec Disney ou Bandai Namco, le sculpteur a pour vocation de rendre lâart accessible. « Aujourdâhui, vous pouvez vous procurer un Mickey Sorcier ou un Pac-Man revisitĂ© par Orlinski pour moins de 100 euros ». Curieux de nature, Richard Orlinski sâouvre aux diffĂ©rentes formes de pratiques artistiques telles que le thĂ©Ăątre, le cinĂ©ma et la musique. DJ de talent, il se produit sur de nombreuses scĂšnes et rĂ©alise de nombreux titres dont Heartbeat en collaboration avec Eva Simons. Il jouera dans le film Les EffarĂ©s de Francis Renaud. Enfin, il prĂ©pare un spectacle pour 2018, dans lequel il sâentoure de nombreux auteurs, humoristes et musiciens. « Il sâagit dâun nouveau concept interactif oĂč je surprends le spectateur en suscitant notamment des Ă©motions telles que lâhumour, lâamour et la sensibilitĂ© ». Dans lâimpatience de dĂ©couvrir son spectacle, ses Ćuvres viennent Ă la rencontre des Genevois cet Ă©tĂ© Ă lâUrban Beach Club.

After being crowned in 2002, the Geneva-born model worked as an ambassador for a number of leading brands, as well as picking up acting roles on television. But while she boasts more than ten years of experience in the fashion world, she decided to turn her attention to art and photography. As well as offering a trendy, original selection of fashion items from various brands, her concept storeâs main purpose is a photo studio. Emilie Boiron is well aware of the pitfalls that await young hopefuls looking to get into modeling, and so provides guidance to future stars as they take their first steps. The service includes bespoke coaching and help with creating a professional look book. But as âeveryone dreams of having their five minutes of fame,â the photo studio is open to everyone.

Partager sa passion pour lâart de la photographie tout en sâamusant, telle est lâambition dâEmilie Boiron. Câest Ă travers sa Fashion Academy que lâex Miss Suisse romande nourrit ce dĂ©sir et nous ouvre les portes de son univers. Nous la rencontrons au cĆur de son concept store genevois situĂ© Ă ChĂȘne Bougeries. Suite Ă son couronnement en 2002, la genevoise enchaĂźne les postes dâambassadrices pour de grandes marques, ainsi que des rĂŽles Ă la tĂ©lĂ©. AprĂšs plus de dix annĂ©es passĂ©es dans le domaine du fashion, elle dĂ©cide de mettre Ă lâhonneur lâart de la photographie. Ainsi, outre une sĂ©lection tendance et originale dâarticles de mode de diverses marques, le thĂšme principal de son concept store est le studio photo. Consciente des difficultĂ©s que peuvent rencontrer les jeunes qui sâorientent vers le mannequinat, Emilie propose dâaccompagner les futurs models dans leurs premiers pas, Ă travers un coaching personnalisĂ© et en les aidant dans la crĂ©ation de leur book professionnel.

the intelligently-designed options such as the âmother and daughterâ and âhen-doâ sessions. The space offers a professional photographer, a make-up artist, a hairstylist, a vast choice of outfits and accessories, and an art director and coaching service. In a word, everything is in place to make your photographs perfect. Even little ones can get involved, as Emilie Boiron also organizes childrenâs birthday parties. There is only one rule: everyone has to have fun! âI offer groups of children between the ages of 6 and 14 the chance to enjoy a magical moment in the spotlight,â she says. Decorations, fancy-dress and a photoshoot are all part of the unforgettable experience. Emilie Boiron is both ambitious and determined, and would like to export her concept abroad. âWhy not London, or Paris?â she says. âBoth cities are precursors for new trends; inspiring places that match perfectly with the Fashion Academy concept.â In the meantime, she is happy to continue inspiring delight, desire and excitement in her spacious concept store.
Nous sommes tout particuliĂšrement sĂ©duits par les formules bien pensĂ©es proposĂ©es telles que « mĂšre et fille » ou « enterrement de vie de jeune fille ». Photographe professionnel, maquilleuse, coiffeur, un large choix dâhabits et accessoires, ainsi quâun coaching et une direction artistiques, tous les Ă©lĂ©ments sont prĂ©sents pour sublimer vos photographies. MĂȘme les plus petits y trouvent leur place, puisquâEmilie organise Ă©galement des anniversaires pour enfants, avec pour seul mot dâordre, sâamuser. « Par groupe, je propose aux enfants entre 6 et 14 ans de passer un moment magique sous les projecteurs ». DĂ©corations, dĂ©guisements et studio photo, tout est mis en Ćuvre pour rendre le moment inoubliable.

MASSIMO BOTTURA
What defines greatness? Where does it come from, and, if not recognized, does it even exist? I quietly run all kinds of existential questions through my mind while navigating our Maserati Levante over the Tuscan hills. Destination: Modena, the home of Maserati, Aceto Balsamico, and the most influential chef of the moment: Massimo Bottura. Under his creative direction he guided his âOsteria Francescanaâ to three Michelin stars and the top position on the âThe Worldâs 50 Best Restaurantsâ list in 2016.
MAN TO WATCH
32
The Maserati doesnât bother to dwell on our life questions. Effortlessly heading through the Alps and cruising the Italian highway towards Parma and Modena, it is like the Levante knows the way, knowing itâs coming home. Arriving early morning in the picturesque Modena, passing the majestic Duomo on the Piazza Grande, we pull up in front of the restaurant with the most fought for tables in the world â there are currently over 1600 tables on the waiting list â Osteria Francescana. Hidden in a typical calm Modenese alley, nothing reveals the drive and passionate creation taking place behind the rustic façade of the twelve tables counting restaurant. Here we meet Massimo for the first time, busy outside arranging with his team. He takes us with him to his office, and on a journey through his world, his Modena. Massimo appears passionate, busy, restless almost. We decide to start with a photo inside his restaurant. The setup is taking long and Massimo is gone. A quick check in the kitchen and he is back and ready to go. Through the first photo shoot we see him get more at ease, and the images look amazing. This will be an exciting day. Content with the first results, we head into the streets of Modena. The sun hits the orange facades and the arches drive a perspective into the cobbled streets. Discussing his passion for food means discussing Modena and the Emilia-Romagna culinary heritage. Here lies the history of his kitchen, and the key to his success. When opening Osteria Francescana in 1995 the now worldfamous chef didnât know he was starting a revolution. Firmly sticking to his beliefs and philosophy, he developed the Osteria Francescana to the three-star Restaurant we now all adore. However, times have not always been as easy, and at a certain moment the end was more near than the success we now know. When asking Massimo how he knew it would work, and how he achieved it, he is very clear. âRecognition of success - whether itâs Michelin or 50 Best - is important but not more than that. Itâs really all about knowing yourself. When you know yourself, you donât change. You are your standard of life, the art, the music, the
car, the clothing, itâs everything you love. Itâs you. From the beginning I knew that the direction we chose with Osteria Francescana was the right one. I didnât do it alone, itâs the team that made it possible. We showed that we never ever compromise, not even in times that the restaurant was completely empty. In the end itâs an act of faith. You donât know the future, but you still trust and are confident with yourself. Itâs very difficult to explain to others, but when you have this, you know where to go, who inspires you. At that moment you know, before everyone else, what your goal should be.â Although impressive and almost intimidating, the immense success of Osteria Francescana is not what brought us to Modena. It is not why everyone adores Massimo Bottura. There is more about him. More than three-starred dishes and awards and the glamour that comes with it. Earlier, when we started our morning by taking our morning espressos in a bar just around the corner we already bumped in to Massimo briefly. Busy on his phone he explained me that it hasnât stopped ringing ever since the Rockefeller Foundation announced a partnership with his Food for Soul initiative. So I immediately wonder; is there a turn in direction? Does this lead to a more âsocialâ approach to his work? âNo, thatâs not true,â he states. âI always keep four things in mind. Culture, knowledge, consciousness and sense of responsibility. If you ask me, Osteria Francescana is a laboratory of ideas, and we create culture. The Refettorio is a cultural project, not a charity. The concept that we develop here, is the concept that you find in the Refettorios we are developing everywhere, because itâs a sense of beauty, of art and architecture, plus the knowledge of the most influential chef in the world. We use that knowledge and skill to transfer to the volunteers, fighting the waste in the world. With this we make the invisible visible to the world. We show what you can do with breadcrumbs, brown bananas or ugly tomatoes.â With the last whim of rush gone, and excited about the Food for Soul project, Massimo proposes to walk to the new Modena Refettorio. We can have a âsneak previewâ and will be the first to discover his latest project. In the former church a communal kitchen is being decorated with a magnificent black and white fresco, depicting the Modenese history and battle fought. Emerging from the dark and into the light the enormous fresco overwhelms us all. He proudly explains the story and the success of the âsoup kitchenâ and Refettorio to come while we take another picture. More and more I grasp his sense of the change that can be achieved by a change in mind-set. Starting with the very basis of how this all started.
34
âFor a chef today itâs not about the quality of the ingredients, but the quality of the ideas. Through culture you can show everyone that food and contemporary chefs are much more than the sum of their recipes.â Massimo explains. âWe can be a social agent, create amazing recipes that help to sell 360â000 wheels of Parmigiano damaged by the earthquake. We can create a recipe that is focusing on the Delta of the Po river, that is in a state of abandonment and pushes the region of Emilia-Romagna to rebuild the old park that is something out of this world, reconstructing the amazing Po Delta with the eels and fish and birds living in and around the water. We show the chefs that they can create something incredible together. With culture you can do this. If not, you just go in the kitchen, cut some stuff, clean some fish, cook and serve. Itâs a different approach.â Outside, near the Osteriaâs entrance, Massimo poses for another picture. Neighbours and friends joke with him when passing. âMassimo you look like Spiderman!â, a man yells while he poses behind a wall. We are in no rush and Massimo makes time for everyone who passes by for a chat. This is not the unapproachable superstar chef I was expecting to meet, but a pater familias with Modena as his family. âWe can create incredible things, but without Osteria Francescana we could never do it, because this is the
place where we build it all. Every day. If you think about it: every day we create for our 28 guests lunch and dinner, but also for 52 people staff. That is almost double of what we do for our guests. So we have to create a model to discover a new tradition, to stimulate the mind and the palate of the young chefs, through what they bring to the kitchen. Their experiences, their influences, from all over the world. This way my kitchen is always evolving. So if you ask me what lies in the future of Massimo Bottura, I simply say: Future. Iâm never happy with what I have or what I achieved. Thatâs the past. For me itâs not about being happy with the past but to being stimulated into the future. Who knows, maybe I will retire somewhere later, but I doubt it. It is simply not in my nature.â Having taken up already half his day, it is time to say goodbye to Massimo Bottura. Thanking him for the time, and mostly the inspiring message of faith, redefining the description of success. Silent with awe, we steer the Levante towards the Autostrada heading to Geneva. The stop for fuel takes a bit longer than planned, as if the Maserati is showing us his unwillingness to leave home. We cannot but be in love with Massimo and his âcrazy ideasâ as he says. But maybe even more with the realization that there is a great chef who lives in a small street in Modena, who is changing the world.
Quâest-ce que le succĂšs? DâoĂč vient-il, et, sâil nâest pas reconnu, peut-il quand mĂȘme exister ? Une farandole de questions existentielles dĂ©file dans mon esprit alors que je navigue au beau milieu des collines toscanes dans notre Maserati Levante. Notre destination : ModĂšne. Il sâagit bien sĂ»r de la maison de Maserati, du vinaigre Balsamique, mais aussi du chef le plus influent du moment : Massimo Bottura. Sous sa direction crĂ©ative, son «Osteria Francescana» a obtenu trois Ă©toiles Michelin et la premiĂšre place dans la liste des âWorldâs 50 Best Restaurantsâ en 2016.
Massimo, affairĂ© Ă la mise en place Ă lâextĂ©rieur, avec son Ă©quipe. Il nous emmĂšne dans son bureau pour un voyage au centre de son univers, de sa ModĂšne. Massimo paraĂźt passionnĂ©, occupĂ©, en Ă©bullition presque. Nous dĂ©cidons de commencer par une photo Ă lâintĂ©rieur du restaurant. La mise en place du matĂ©riel dure, Massimo sâĂ©clipse. Une vĂ©rification rapide en cuisine et il est de retour, prĂȘt Ă lâaction. Au fil des premiĂšres prises de vue, nous le voyons se dĂ©tendre, et les clichĂ©s deviennent excellents. Cette journĂ©e sâannonce passionnante.
Notre Levante, elle, ne se prĂ©occupe pas de nos questionnements. La Maserati a franchi les Alpes et avalĂ© lâautoroute italienne jusquâĂ Parme et ModĂšne comme un pur-sang filant sur le chemin du retour, sentant les Ă©curies tout proche. ArrivĂ©s tĂŽt le matin dans la pittoresque ModĂšne, nous passons devant le majestueux Duomo, sur la Piazza Grande, et nous nous dirigeons vers la table la plus prisĂ©e au monde â lâOsteria Francescana â comptant actuellement plus de 1600 tables sur sa liste dâattente.
Satisfaits des premiers rĂ©sultats, nous nous promenons dans les rues de ModĂšne. Le soleil frappe les façades orange et les arches accentuent la perspective des rues pavĂ©es. Pour Massimo, discuter de sa passion pour la cuisine, câest discuter de ModĂšne et du patrimoine culinaire dâĂmilie-Romagne. Il nous livre lâhistoire de son art et la clĂ© de son succĂšs.
A lâextĂ©rieur, aucun indice. MasquĂ©es par la façade rustique du restaurant de douze tables, lâeffervescence et la crĂ©ation passionnĂ©e rĂšgnent pourtant dans cette allĂ©e calme et ty pique de ModĂšne. Câest ici que nous rencontrons
En 1995, annĂ©e dâouverture de lâOsteria Francescana, son chef, dĂ©sormais mondialement reconnu, ne se doutait pas quâil serait le fer de lance dâune vĂ©ritable rĂ©volution. Restant fidĂšle Ă ses croyances et sa philosophie, il a hissĂ© lâOsteria Francescana que nous adorons tous aujourdâhui au rang de restaurant trois Ă©toiles.
Mais les temps ne furent pas toujours si heureux. Il fut une pĂ©riode oĂč la fin guettait, obscurcissant ses espoirs de succĂšs. Cependant, lorsque nous demandons Ă Massimo comment il a su que son entreprise rĂ©ussirait, et comment il sâen est sorti, il est trĂšs clair.
MASSIMO BOTTURA
«La reconnaissance du succĂšs, quâil sâagisse de Michelin ou des â50 Bestâ, est importante, mais sans plus. Ce qui compte, câest de se connaĂźtre soi-mĂȘme. Quand on sait qui on est, on ne change pas. On incarne son niveau de vie, son art, sa musique, sa voiture, ses vĂȘtements, tout ce quâon aime. On est soi-mĂȘme. Jâai Ă©tĂ© convaincu que la direction choisie pour lâOsteria Francescana Ă©tait la bonne depuis le dĂ©but. Je nây suis bien sĂ»r pas arrivĂ© seul, câest lâĂ©quipe qui a tout rendu possible. Nous avons montrĂ© que nous ne nous faisons jamais de compromis, mĂȘme quand le restaurant Ă©tait complĂštement vide. En fin de compte, câest un acte de foi. On ne sait pas de quoi lâavenir sera fait, mais on y croit et on reste confiants en nousmĂȘmes. Câest trĂšs difficile Ă expliquer, mais quand on a cela, on sait oĂč lâon va et qui nous inspire. Ă ce moment-lĂ , on sait avant tout le monde quels sont nos objectifs. « Bien quâimpressionnant, presque intimidant, ce nâest pas lâimmense succĂšs de lâOsteria Francescana qui nous a attirĂ©s Ă ModĂšne. Ce nâest pas pour son succĂšs que tout le monde adore Massimo Bottura. Cet homme a quelque chose dâencore plus prĂ©cieux Ă offrir que des plats triplement Ă©toilĂ©s et le glamour accompagnant ses autres rĂ©compenses.
MAN TO WATCH

Plus tĂŽt, quand nous commencions notre journĂ©e avec des espressos dans un bar Ă lâautre coin de la rue, nous tombons nez Ă nez avec Massimo. DĂ©jĂ plongĂ© dans son tĂ©lĂ©phone, il mâexplique quâil nâa cessĂ© de sonner depuis que la Fondation Rockefeller a annoncĂ© un partenariat avec son initiative âFood for Soulâ. Je me demande alors ; entamerait-il un virage ? Cela conduirait-il Ă une pratique plus «sociale» de son travail ? «Non, ce nâest pas le cas», dĂ©clare-t-il. «Je garde toujours quatre choses Ă lâesprit : culture, connaissance, conscience et sens des responsabilitĂ©s. Selon moi, lâOsteria Francescana est un laboratoire dâidĂ©es oĂč nous crĂ©ons une culture. Le Refettorio est un projet culturel, pas un organisme de bienfaisance. Le concept que nous dĂ©veloppons ici est celui que vous trouverez dans tous les Refettorios que nous dĂ©veloppons, car câest un sentiment de beautĂ©, dâart et dâarchitecture, ainsi que la connaissance du chef le plus influent au monde. Nous transmettons nos connaissances et nos compĂ©tences aux bĂ©nĂ©voles, pour lutter contre le gaspillage dans le monde. De cette maniĂšre, nous rendons lâinvisible visible au yeux du monde. Nous montrons ce quâon peut faire avec de la chapelure, des bananes brunes ou des tomates moches. « Le dernier coup de feu passĂ©, Massimo, enthousiasmĂ© par le projet âFood for Soulâ, nous propose de marcher jusquâĂ son nouveau Refettorio de ModĂšne. Nous avons droit Ă une «avant-premiĂšre privĂ©e». Nous serons les premiers Ă dĂ©couvrir son tout dernier projet. AmĂ©nagĂ©e dans une ancienne Ă©glise, une cuisine commune est dĂ©corĂ©e dâune magnifique fresque en noir et blanc, illustrant lâhistoire de ModĂšne et de la bataille qui sây est dĂ©roulĂ©e. Emergeant de lâobscuritĂ©, lâĂ©norme fresque nous enveloppe entiĂšrement. Il explique avec fiertĂ© lâhistoire et le succĂšs de la soupe populaire et du Refettorio Ă venir pendant que nous prenons une autre photo.
Je comprends de mieux en mieux son sens du changement, qui peut ĂȘtre atteint par un changement de mentalitĂ©. En commençant par la comprĂ©hension de comment tout cela a dĂ©butĂ©. «Pour un chef, aujourdâhui, il ne sâagit pas de la qualitĂ© des ingrĂ©dients, mais de la qualitĂ© des idĂ©es. GrĂące Ă la culture, on peut montrer Ă tout le monde que la cuisine et les chefs contemporains sont bien plus que la somme de leurs recettes», explique Massimo. «Nous pouvons jouer un rĂŽle social, comme crĂ©er des recettes incroyables qui aident Ă vendre 360â000 meules de parmesan endommagĂ©es par un tremblement de terre. Nous pouvons crĂ©er une recette qui se concentre sur le delta du PĂŽ, Ă lâabandon, et qui pousse la rĂ©gion de lâĂmilie-Romagne Ă reconstruire cet ancien parc. Inimaginable, mais cela a permis de reconstruire lâincroyable delta du PĂŽ, avec ses anguilles, ses poissons et ses oiseaux vivant au milieu de toute cette eau. Nous montrons aux chefs quâensemble, ils peuvent crĂ©er quelque chose dâincroyable. Avec la culture, câest possible. Sinon, notre mĂ©tier se rĂ©sumerait Ă aller en cuisine, couper des aliments, nettoyer un poisson, cuisiner et servir. Câest une approche trĂšs diffĂ©rente. « ArrivĂ© dehors, Massimo pose pour une autre photo prĂšs de lâentrĂ©e de lâOsteria. Les voisins et les amis plaisantent avec lui en passant. «Massimo, vous ressemblez Ă Spiderman!», crie un homme alors quâil pose derriĂšre un mur. Nous ne sommes pas pressĂ©s et Massimo prend du temps pour tous ceux qui viennent discuter. Ce nâest pas le chef superstar inaccessible auquel je mâattendais, mais un Pater Familias avec ModĂšne pour famille. «Nous pouvons crĂ©er des choses incroyables mais pas sans lâOsteria Francescana, car câest lâendroit oĂč nous construisons tout. Tous les jours. Rendez-vous compte : chaque jour, nous crĂ©ons un dĂ©jeuner et un dĂźner pour nos 28 invitĂ©s, mais aussi pour notre personnel de 52 personnes. Cela correspond presque au double de nos invitĂ©s. Câest pour cette raison que nous devons crĂ©er un modĂšle, pour dĂ©couvrir une nouvelle tradition au travers de ce que les jeunes chefs apportent Ă la cuisine, en stimulant leur esprit et leur palais. Leurs expĂ©riences, leurs influences, partout autour du monde. De cette façon, ma cuisine Ă©volue toujours. Par consĂ©quent, si vous me demandez en quoi consiste lâavenir de Massimo Bottura, je vous rĂ©pondrai simplement : lâavenir. Je ne suis jamais content de ce que jâai ou de ce que jâai rĂ©alisĂ©. Le passĂ© est le passĂ©. Pour moi, il ne sâagit pas dâĂȘtre satisfait du passĂ© mais dâĂȘtre stimulĂ© par le futur. Qui sait, peut-ĂȘtre que je prendrai ma retraite quelque part, mais jâen doute. Ce nâest tout simplement pas dans ma nature.» Lui ayant dĂ©jĂ pris la moitiĂ© de sa journĂ©e, il est temps pour nous de dire au revoir Ă Massimo Bottura. Nous le remercions pour son temps, et surtout pour son inspirant message sur la dĂ©termination, redĂ©finissant la notion de succĂšs. Silencieux, emplis dâadmiration, nous dirigeons la Levante vers lâAutostrada, en direction de GenĂšve. La halte carburant prend un peu plus de temps que prĂ©vu, comme si la Maserati voulait nous exprimer sa rĂ©ticence Ă quitter la maison. Nous ne pouvons quâĂȘtre tombĂ©s amoureux de Massimo et de ses «idĂ©es folles», comme il le dit. Mais nous le sommes peutĂȘtre encore plus avec la prise de conscience que, depuis une petite rue de ModĂšne, un grand chef change le monde.

FOOD FOR SOUL Started in 2015 during the Expo Milano, within the âFeed the Planetâ exhibition theme, Massimo Bottura created Refettorio Ambrosiano. Together with several well-known artists, designers and 65 international chefs, he turned the surplus ingredients collected from the exhibitionâs pavilions into nutritious meals served to the homeless and people in need from the Milan area, transforming an abandoned theatre in the suburbs of Milan into an inspiring community kitchen. Now, the Food for Soul project is developed in several cities like Bologna, Rio de Janeiro, Modena, London and in the future Berlin and Los Angeles.

A TRUE CHALLENGE DIAL MAN ufACt urE BY GL AShĂ t tE OrIGINAL TExT : K ARIM AEID
The dial gives a watch its face. What appears at first glance to be so perfectly complete represents, in point of fact, one of watchmakingâs great challenges: along with creativity and experience, the manufacture of extremely thin dials demands extreme care and attention to detail. As a result, GlashĂŒtte Original assigns particular significance to the manufacture of dials: in Pforzheim, a city rich in the traditions of goldsmithing and jewellery-making, the brand has found the high degree of expertise and manual dexterity that it requires for its dials.
The GlashĂŒtte Original dial manufactory is one of the few dialmakers to make its own dial blanks as well. The production of a dial breaks down into a large number of separate tasks: from the production of the blank and its processing to the elaborate grinding and polishing of the surfaces and on to the diverse, labour-intensive finishing processes, numerous experienced hands do everything they can to transform the filigreed âscreensâ into authentic works of art.
Le cadran est le visage dâune montre. Ce qui semble ĂȘtre, au premier coup dâĆil, dâune harmonie parfaite, reprĂ©sente, en fait, lâun des grands dĂ©fis de lâhorlogerie: en plus de crĂ©ativitĂ© et dâexpĂ©rience, la fabrication de cadrans extrĂȘmement fins exige une minutie et une attention du dĂ©tail hors normes. Aussi, GlashĂŒtte Original attribue une importance particuliĂšre Ă la fabrication de cadrans. Ă Pforzheim, ville Ă lâhĂ©ritage riche en orfĂšvrerie et en joaillerie, la marque a trouvĂ© le haut niveau dâexpertise et de dextĂ©ritĂ© dont elle a besoin pour ses cadrans.
La manufacture de cadrans GlashĂŒtte Original est aussi lâun des seuls fabricants de cadrans Ă crĂ©er ses propres Ă©bauches de cadran. La production dâun cadran se dĂ©compose en un grand nombre dâĂ©tapes distinctes: de la production de lâĂ©bauche et son traitement au meulage et polissage Ă©laborĂ©s des surfaces, en passant par les divers processus de finition nĂ©cessitant une main-dâĆuvre qualifiĂ©e, de nombreuses mains expĂ©rimentĂ©es font tout leur possible pour transformer les «écrans» filigranĂ©s en Ćuvres dâart authentiques.

GlashĂŒtte Original caused a stir in 2014 with the very first movement 37 boasting an integrated chronograph. The innovative, compact and highly functional design of the new column-wheel chronograph earned the company the respect of the watchmaking world. The automatic movement celebrated the brandâs first steps by simultaneously releasing two versions of the Senator Chronograph Panorama Date: one in magnificently treated platinum, and another in dazzling red gold. GlashĂŒtte Original has just added a touch of sporty charm to its iconic line, and a brand-new, impressive steel version of the Senator Chronograph Panorama Date is now available alongside the elegant original models.

The serpent is a seductive allegory for wisdom and vitality in ancient Greco-Roman mythology, and has been revisited by Bulgari in countless different ways over the years. The Serpenti Forever collection was presented at the 2017 Milan Fashion Week, and offers unique new varieties in a reinterpretation of the iconic 1940s model. The reptileâs sculpted head now boasts a totally revamped geometry inspired by pieces from the Bulgari High Jewellery collection. This bold, modern and hypnotic new version also features on the clasp of the new Star Studs clutch bag, which gently blends star-shaped studs with laser-cut semi-circles, diamond forms and stitched triangles. This combination of colourful, diverse shapes contrasts beautifully with the metallic aspect of the leather.

This year Eyes Magazine headed to Milan. Our adventure began at the legendary Hotel Bvlgari for the presentation of the new collection of accessories for autumn-winter 2017. Offering an explosion of daring and modernity, Bella Hadid, Lottie Moss and Jasmine Sanders are the striking brand ambassadors for this subtly rock ânâ roll, seventies-inspired collection. After soaking up the electric atmosphere, we indulged in a Spritz before our stilettos led us to Jimmy Choo. In the heart of the La Posteria neighbourhood, the footwear brand had decked out the venue interior in technicolour. Mint green, baby blue and pastel pink set the tone. We discovered the latest collection of accessories, including heels adorned with Swarovski crystals, hobnailed boots, satin hand bags and original clutch bags crafted in Plexiglas. One pair of shoes particularly caught our eye: candy-pink suede Low Boots topped off with fur pompoms. Daring, we hear you say? Well no one ever became a leading name without taking a few risks! After Milan we headed to Paris, the worldâs fashion capital. We were invited to the Manish Arora show at the Grand Palais, and had to fight our way through the journalists and photographers to reach our seat. When the lights dimmed and the show began, we remembered why we had come and what a singular art form fashion really is. Colours, Indian-inspired prints and faces covered in pearls were just few examples of the limitless creativity and bold identity of Manish Arora. The Anne Sofie Madsen show focused on a blend of sobriety, structure, interplaying materials and a nonchalantly Parisian je ne sais quoi. With ethereal silk, velvet and cotton, the Danish designer proved her talent and technique once again. Afterwards, we made an unmissable stop at Moynat, the oldest French trunk-maker still in existence. We met with artisans working on pieces of leather at the boutique on the Rue Saint HonorĂ©. While combining French vintage and tradition, Moynat also revisits the basics with the brandâs trademark modern twist. The partnership with singer Pharrell Williams serves as a perfect example. We finished our experience at Le Bon MarchĂ© to (re)discover the legendary snippets of conversation overheard by the renowned French journalist LoĂŻc Prigent. Entitled Overheard at Le Bon MarchĂ©, his exhibition is a teasing compilation of the most improbable remarks heard at the department store before fashion shows and after-parties, such as âIâm looking for some mechanicâs overalls, but in a cocktail party style.â Taking everything with a pinch of salt (as is often the case in this scene) is recommended. But thatâs also what fashion means; light-heartedness and humour. As Carine Roitfeld once said, âThere is no point in loving fashion if you donât know how to dream.â After all, dreams are the very essence of fashion.

DeuxiĂšme escale Ă Paris, capitale de la mode. InvitĂ©s au dĂ©filĂ© Manish Arora, au Grand Palais, il faut se frayer un chemin parmi les journalistes et les photographes pour atteindre notre Sacro Sainte place. Mais lorsque les lumiĂšres sâĂ©teignent et que le show commence, on se rappelle pourquoi nous sommes lĂ , et Ă combien la mode est un art Ă part entiĂšre. Des couleurs, des imprimĂ©s aux accents indiens et des visages couverts de perles, câest la crĂ©ativitĂ© sans limite et lâADN de Manish Arora. Chez Anne Sofie Madsen, sobriĂ©tĂ© rime avec structure, jeux de matiĂšres et un « je ne sais quoi » de nonchalance parisienne.

Nous y croisons des artisans travaillant le cuir au sein mĂȘme de la boutique de la rue Saint HonorĂ©. MĂ©lange de vintage et de classicisme Français, Moynat revisite cependant les basiques, en leur insufflant une dose de modernisme qui leur est propre. Leur collaboration avec le chanteur Pharrel Williams en est lâillustration parfaite. Nous terminons notre expĂ©rience au Bon MarchĂ©, afin de (re)dĂ©couvrir les phrases mythique de Loic Prigent, cĂ©lĂšbre journaliste de mode. IntitulĂ© « Entendu au Bon MarchĂ© », cette exposition compile avec dĂ©rision les remarques les plus improbables capturĂ©es ici et lĂ lors de dĂ©filĂ©s ou dâafter party : « Je cherche une combinaison de garagiste, mais cocktail ».

ITALIAN THOROUGHBRED DRIVING THE FERRARI 488 SPIDER PHOTOGRAPHY BY LENNEN DESCAMPS TEXT MARTIN MACKENZIE
Needless to say, we donât succeed to round the lap in record time, clearly pointing out our lack of race qualities. Not a bad thing however, since this only motivates us to try again and again. The Ferrari is not to blame. It lets us know, growling and hissing from the back that it can go faster, smoother and sharper around every corner, showing us the true potential of itâs Formula 1 DNA, putting a bigger grin on our face with every corner we take. As we said before: Itâs a Ferrari. The 488 Spider is better, stronger, faster than what we have driven before. It is not just a show pony, but the pure thoroughbred we were hoping for. Get out your check books if you havenât already done so, because at least until the arrival of the âSpecialeâ â or will it be the GTO â this is as Ferrari as it gets.
ITALIAN THOROUGHBRED
To directly end this myth: the award winning 3,9 Litre V8 Twin-Turbo â voted International Engine of the Year 2017 â is every bit the engine you would expect from a Ferrari. The Scuderia already explained us the importance of sound, speed and handling for the brand, but they were not exaggerating. We canât wait to get this show on the road. And a show it is. We put our foot on the brake, push the red start button, flip the manettino in Race mode and open the roof. With 100hp more than its predecessor 458 Italia, the 488 Spider letâs the world know its 670 horses are awake, scaring off whatever wildlife that still dared to circle our car. We are off and the 488 Spider immediately pushes us in our seats, giving us a flashback to the ride we took in the Ferrari Rollercoaster in Abu Dhabi. Almost forgetting that we need to steer ourselves, we try to hit the apex on the racetrack of the Buochs airfield â home of the legendary Pilatus aircrafts â that Ferrari prepared for us with Vettel-like precision.

DRIVE
Letâs immediately start with the obvious. Itâs a Ferrari. So, the only car that can beat the sensation and thrill of a Ferrari, is a new Ferrari. And now, with the legendary Hotel Villa Honegg and Lake Lugano as a backdrop, we finally have the chance to take the new 488 Spider to the limit. A chance that worries us immediately a bit. Although Sebastian Vettel in Baku proved that the Ferrari is not to be held up in traffic â and has quite a sturdy build when it comes to high impact racing â the Formula 1 turbo-powered engines have also made their way to the 488GTB and 488 Spider. Since most critics are calling it a huge setback for the emotion in Formula 1 racing, it is with slight hesitation that we take place behind the wheel of our yellow Spider.

Commençons immĂ©diatement par lâĂ©vidence. Il sâagit bien dâune Ferrari. La seule voiture qui peut battre les sensations et le frisson procurĂ©s par une Ferrari est une nouvelle Ferrari. Et maintenant, avec le lĂ©gendaire hĂŽtel Villa Honegg et le lac Lugano en toile de fond, voici que nous avons enfin la possibilitĂ© de tester les limites du nouveau 488 Spider. Une chance qui, lâespace dâun instant, laisse place Ă lâinquiĂ©tude. Bien que Sebastian Vettel ait prouvĂ© Ă Bakou quâune Ferrari ne devait pas ĂȘtre bloquĂ©e dans les bouchons â et que sa structure sâest rĂ©vĂ©lĂ©e ĂȘtre trĂšs robuste lors dâimpacts sur le circuit â les moteurs turbo de Formule 1 ont Ă©galement fait leur chemin vers les 488GTB et 488 Spider. Mais, la plupart des critiques comparant cette architecture Ă un Ă©norme coup de frein Ă lâĂ©motion en Formule 1, câest avec une lĂ©gĂšre apprĂ©hension que nous prenons place au volant de notre rutilant Spider jaune.

Mettons directement fin Ă ce mythe: le V8 Twin-Turbo de 3,9 litres a Ă©tĂ© Ă©lu Moteur International de lâAnnĂ©e 2017 et il offre tout ce que lâon peut attendre dâune Ferrari. La Scuderia nous a dĂ©jĂ expliquĂ© lâimportance du son, de la vitesse et de la maniabilitĂ© pour la marque, sans exagĂ©ration. Nous avons hĂąte de vĂ©rifier cela une fois au volant. Et quel spectacle sâoffre Ă nous ! Pied sur le frein, nous pressons le fameux bouton de dĂ©marrage rouge, basculons le manettino en mode Course et ouvrons le toit. Avec 100 chevaux de plus que son prĂ©dĂ©cesseur 458 Italia, le 488 Spider fait savoir au monde que ses 670 chevaux sont prĂȘts Ă lâaction, effrayant toute vie sauvage qui aurait daignĂ© sâapprocher de notre voiture. Pied au plancher. Le 488 Spider nous colle instantanĂ©ment au fond de nos siĂšges. Nous revivons les sensations enivrantes de notre tour sur le grand huit Ferrari Rollercoaster dâAbou Dhabi. Oubliant presque que nous devons manier le volant nous-mĂȘmes, nous essayons de boucler notre tour du circuit de lâaĂ©rodrome de Buochs â maison des lĂ©gendaires avions Pilatus â que Ferrari nous a prĂ©parĂ©e avec une prĂ©cision digne de Vettel. Inutile de vous avouer que nous ne rĂ©ussissons pas Ă Ă©tablir un record du tour, soulignant clairement nos lacunes en termes de pilotage. Mais ce nâest pas un mal, cela ne fait que nous motiver Ă essayer encore et encore. La Ferrari nâest Ă©videmment pas en cause. Elle nous fait savoir, grognant et de sifflant dans notre dos, quâelle peut ĂȘtre encore plus rapide, de maniĂšre toujours plus fluide et plus prĂ©cise Ă chaque virage, dĂ©voilant ainsi le vrai potentiel de son ADN de Formule 1. Un grand sourire illumine notre visage Ă chaque changement de cap. Nous vous lâavons dĂ©jĂ dit: câest une Ferrari. Le 488 Spider est meilleur, plus puissant, plus rapide que tout ce que nous avons pu conduire auparavant. Il ne sâagit pas dâune simple bĂȘte de foire, mais bien du pur-sang auquel nous espĂ©rions avoir affaire. Notre conseil : sortez votre carnet de chĂšques si vous ne lâavez pas dĂ©jĂ fait, car vous ne trouverez pas plus Ferrari que le 488 Spider â en tout cas jusquâĂ lâarrivĂ©e de la âSpecialeâ ou peut-ĂȘtre sâagira-t-il de la GTO?

HAUTE COUTURE
As automobile enthusiasts, we were curious and impatient before the unveiling of the new Bugatti Chiron at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. And when we were invited to the opening of the brandâs first showroom in Geneva a year later, we couldnât have been more excited. The prestigious space has been designed, developed and created with the utmost attention to detail in order to blend customer experience with the exclusivity of the Bugatti brand.
DRIVE

When we arrived, we were immediately drawn to the superlative Supercar. The Chiron is the Bugatti Veyronâs little sister lauded as the âhaute couture of the automobile world,â and boasts a unique position on the market thanks to its exceptional performances and exclusive design and comfort. Speaking of performance, some would refuse to believe what the latest Bugatti is capable of. With 1,500 horsepower, acceleration from 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds, and a top-speed of 261 mph, the Molsheim-based manufacturer has set the bar even higher. Through its bespoke program, Bugatti offers to customise the Chiron from the body to the interior, and can satisfy every desire, whether different colours or the addition of logos and initials. Luxury is in the details. More than half of the Chirons have been pre-ordered so far. Unsurprisingly, the worldâs most powerful, fastest and most luxurious Supercar is limited to just 500 units, with a price set at 2.5 million euros excluding taxes. FĂ©rus dâautomobile, câest avec impatience et curiositĂ© que nous attendions la sortie de la Bugatti Chiron, dĂ©voilĂ©e Ă lâĂ©dition 2016 du Salon de lâAutomobile de GenĂšve. Et lorsque nous sommes conviĂ©s un an plus tard Ă lâouverture du premier showroom de la marque Ă GenĂšve, lâexcitation est Ă son apogĂ©e. Dans un showroom exclusif, tout a Ă©tĂ© imaginĂ©, conçu et dĂ©veloppĂ© dans le plus grand soin du dĂ©tail afin dâassimiler lâexpĂ©rience client Ă lâexclusivitĂ© de la marque Bugatti. A notre arrivĂ©e, nous sommes immĂ©diatement magnĂ©tisĂ©s par la Supercar de tous les superlatifs. Petite sĆur de la Bugatti Veyron et dĂ©crite comme la « haute couture de lâautomobile », la Chiron bĂ©nĂ©ficie dâune position unique sur le marchĂ© grĂące Ă des performances exceptionnelles alliĂ©es Ă un design et un confort exclusifs. Niveau prouesses, certains nây croiraient mĂȘme pas. Avec une puissance de 1500 CV, une accĂ©lĂ©ration de 0 Ă 100 km/h en 2.5 secondes et une vitesse maximale de 420 km/h, le constructeur de Molsheim a fixĂ© la barre encore plus haut. A travers son programme de personnalisation, Bugatti offre la possibilitĂ© de customiser la Chiron, de la carrosserie Ă lâhabitacle et de satisfaire tous les dĂ©sirs, tels que lâadaptation de coloris ou lâapposition de logos ou dâinitiales. Le luxe est dans le dĂ©tail. Actuellement, plus de la moitiĂ© des vĂ©hicules sont prĂ©commandĂ©es et il paraĂźt Ă©vident que la Supercar de sĂ©rie la plus puissante, rapide et luxueuse au monde soit limitĂ©e Ă 500 exemplaires pour un prix de 2,5 millions dâeuros hors taxes.

Nevertheless, this recent episode has shown that even traditional car brands like Rolls-Royce are interested in bespoke designs, tailor made to their clients even most bizarre wishes. However, before contacting your local car-manufacturer, please fathom that this luxury is only bestowed upon a hand-full of people as it does not come cheap. Although the price has not been officially disclosed by Rolls-Royce, this true masterpiece is suggested to cost a whopping 12,8 million pounds.
Câest sur les rives du lac de CĂŽme, homologue italien de notre lac LĂ©man, que nous dĂ©couvrons la stupĂ©fiante Rolls-Royce Sweptail, produite en un seul exemplaire Ă la demande dâun client en mal dâexclusivitĂ©. Nous en avons le souffle coupĂ© dĂšs le premier coup dâĆil. RĂ©pondant Ă une demande prĂ©cise de son estimĂ© client, Rolls-Royce crĂ©e un prĂ©sage de lâeuphorie des annĂ©es folles en rĂ©fĂ©rence au design presque futuriste de la voiture de luxe ultime. Lors de son discours de prĂ©sentation, Torsten MĂŒller-Ătvös, PDG de Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, a dĂ©clarĂ©: « La Sweptail est rĂ©ellement une voiture magnifique. Elle incarne lâenvie de voyager pour soi et propulse immĂ©diatement «Sweptail» au panthĂ©on des grandes voitures de tourisme intercontinentales. » Le design en coque de bateau de lâarriĂšre de ce gĂ©ant de six mĂštres, en parfaite symbiose avec son royal mais moderne intĂ©rieur, amĂšne le luxe Ă un niveau encore jamais vu. ProtĂ©gĂ©e par lâun des plus impressionnants toits panoramiques de lâindustrie automobile, permettant Ă la lumiĂšre naturelle de se rĂ©flĂ©chir sur le cuir beige, Rolls-Royce pourrait bien sâĂȘtre damnĂ© en plaçant la barre, dĂ©jĂ extrĂȘmement Ă©levĂ©e, Ă des sommets stratosphĂ©riques. NĂ©anmoins, cet Ă©pisode rĂ©cent montre que mĂȘme les marques de voitures classiques comme Rolls-Royce sâintĂ©ressent au sur-mesure pour rĂ©pondre aux souhaits les plus extravagants de leurs clients. Toutefois, avant de contacter votre constructeur prĂ©fĂ©rĂ©, gardez bien en tĂȘte que ce luxe nâest accordĂ© quâĂ une poignĂ©e dâĂ©lus. En effet, bien que le prix nâait pas Ă©tĂ© officiellement divulguĂ© par Rolls-Royce, on estime que ce petit chef-dâĆuvre a coĂ»tĂ© la bagatelle dâenviron 15,8 millions de francs suisses Ă son acheteur.

The boat-like design of the back of the six-meter vehicle, together with the regal but modern interior takes luxury to a whole other level. Topped off with one of the most impressive panoramic glass roofs ever seen on a vehicle, allowing the natural sun light to reflect on the beige leather, Rolls -Royce might just have well cursed themselves as they raised the already sky-soaring bar to exorbitant new heights.

During his speech, Torsten MĂŒller-Ătvös, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars said, âSweptail is a truly magnificent car.

La Ruina Habitada is a private residence spanning around 1,300 sq. ft. The project was based on an industrial space with a dilapidated appearance. The exterior façade is a block of bricks punctuated with windows and âfalse windowsâ of varying dimensions, as well as a door crafted in COR-TEN steel. The interior features a range of materials, including metal, glass, wood and stone, in an effort to remain in harmony with the exterior while creating the impression of several extra additions. The idea was to preserve an overall consistency while injecting subtle differences. The wooden frame offers a warmer ambiance in the interior, for example. All of the spaces are open, and the use of glass makes each area seem bigger. The house is furnished with elegant designer pieces, and also boasts a terrace and a small garden. The overall result is a blend of symmetrical materials in a perfect harmony.

Architecture of the senses is the motto of the Spanish architecture firm Jesus Castillo Oli. Their goal is to study this discipline as a transmission of sensory elements. This approach consists of offering fundamental architecture that meets technical requirements, while pushing research further than usual. Sensation, perception and added value are just some of the different aspects promoted by this firm through its various projects. Two constructions from the studio really made us look twice â La Ruina Habitada (2006) and Altrasluz. La Casa Del Agua Ardiente (2014) in Spain.
Lâarchitecture des sens est la devise du bureau dâarchitecture espagnol Jesus Castillo Oli. Leur but Ă©tant dâĂ©tudier cette discipline comme une transmission dâĂ©lĂ©ments sensoriels. Ceci consiste Ă proposer une architecture basique qui rĂ©pond Ă des besoins techniques mais qui va plus loin dans la recherche. La sensation, la perception, la valeur ajoutĂ©e sont diffĂ©rents points que cette agence met en avant Ă travers ses projets. Deux constructions de cet atelier nous ont particuliĂšrement interpellĂ©es; La Ruina Habitada (2006) et Altrasluz. La Casa Del Agua Ardiente (2014) en Espagne. La Ruina Habitada est une maison privĂ©e offrant une surface habitable dâenviron 120 m2. Le projet a dĂ©marrĂ© Ă partir dâun espace industriel Ă lâaspect en ruine. Sa façade extĂ©rieure reprĂ©sente un bloc de briques habillĂ© de fenĂȘtres et âfausses fenĂȘtresâ aux dimensions variĂ©es et dâune porte en acier corten. LâintĂ©rieur se voit doter de matĂ©riaux tels que le mĂ©tal, le verre, le bois et la pierre afin de rester dans le mĂȘme esprit que lâextĂ©rieur tout en ayant lâimpression dâavoir ajouter de lĂ©gĂšres touches en plus. LâidĂ©e est de garder une homogĂ©nĂ©itĂ©. La charpente en bois apporte un aspect plus chaud Ă lâintĂ©rieur. Tous les espaces sont ouverts et lâutilisation du verre donne un effet dâagrandissement en plus. La maison est meublĂ©e de façon Ă©purĂ©e et dispose dâune terrasse/petit jardin. Le tout se rĂ©sume en un mĂ©lange de matĂ©riaux symĂ©triques sâassemblant parfaitement bien. Pour ce qui est de Altrasluz. La Casa Del Agua Ardiente, nous sommes cette fois-ci sur un projet de restauration. Vu de lâextĂ©rieur, ce cube blanc marquĂ© par lâabsence de fenĂȘtres intrigue par son air Ă©nigmatique. Un jeu de lignes verticales est ensuite crĂ©Ă© Ă lâintĂ©rieur. La base est en mĂ©tal et lâespace est rempli de panneaux en verre du sol au plafond.

The âJanus Projectâ was started after the firm won a competition in 2007. The goal was to offer the museum a brand-new appearance in order to attract the public. The exterior was revisited using a composite material cladding: thin layers of brass were applied to a core surface of polyethylene. This technique was used to create a bronzestyle façade, with the addition of circular shapes to the historical building. The renovation of the exterior was also designed to preserve the original doors and windows. After entering the impressive building, we were invited to go into the main room two floors above. This space marks the beginning of the guided tour, and is large enough to host events. As well as this central area, the extension has created new spaces which can welcome a range of exhibitions. For example, the pieces showcased on the second floor are surrounded by windows offering exceptional views. Natural lighting fills the buildingâs third floor. This interplaying light offers a distinct atmosphere in different rooms, depending on the time of day and the season. The new museum extension has given the older building a new lease of life. Visitors are drawn to the original shape, the enjoyable tours, and the simplified experience thanks to the innovative, elegant architecture and the natural light that have successfully created an aesthetic contrast between the past and the modern day.

FondĂ© Ă Bienne en 1997, lâatelier dâarchitecture mlzd se concentre sur des projets industriels, de dĂ©veloppement urbain et de musĂ©es. Ce bureau suisse est composĂ© dâune vingtaine de collaborateurs dâorigines, expĂ©riences et Ăąges diffĂ©rents afin dâapporter un Ă©ventail de cultures variĂ©es. PassionnĂ©s par leur mĂ©tier, leur dĂ©vouement se ressent Ă travers leurs multiples projets.

Aujourdâhui, nous avons choisi de partager lâextension dâun musĂ©e Ă la façade atypique. En 2010-2011, mlzd a transformĂ© le musĂ©e municipal Rapperswil-Jona situĂ© au bord du lac de ZĂŒrich. Le projet « janus » a commencĂ© lors dâune compĂ©tition quâil a remportĂ© en 2007. LâidĂ©e est dâapporter un tout nouveau profil au musĂ©e afin dâavoir un impact sur le public. LâextĂ©rieur a Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ© Ă partir dâun revĂȘtement au matĂ©riau composite; des couches de laiton de fine Ă©paisseur ont Ă©tĂ© appliquĂ©es sur les surfaces dâun noyau de polyĂ©thylĂšne. Ceci a permis de crĂ©er une façade en bronze, incrustĂ©es de petites formes rondes, qui vient sâajouter au bĂątiment historique. De plus, elle a Ă©tĂ© pensĂ©e de façon Ă garder les fenĂȘtres et les portes telles quelles. Une fois lâentrĂ©e franchie, nous sommes invitĂ©s Ă nous diriger dans la salle principale qui se trouve Ă deux Ă©tages du sol. Celle-ci est le point de dĂ©part dâune visite guidĂ©e et peut Ă©galement servir de lieu Ă©vĂ©nementiel. En plus de cet espace central, lâextension engendre de nouvelles surfaces pouvant accueillir diffĂ©rentes expositions. Au deuxiĂšme Ă©tage, par exemple, les piĂšces sont entourĂ©es de fenĂȘtres offrant une vue exceptionnelle. De plus, un vif Ă©clairage naturel traverse le bĂątiment au troisiĂšme Ă©tage. Ces multiples jeux de lumiĂšres apportent une allure diffĂ©rente aux salles selon les moments de la journĂ©e ainsi que selon les saisons. Ce nouveau complexe ajoute un regard frais au bĂątiment de lâĂ©poque. Il attire le visiteur de par sa forme originale puis offre une visite agrĂ©able et simplifiĂ©e grĂące Ă lâarchitecture et la lumiĂšre naturelle pour finalement crĂ©er un contraste esthĂ©tique entre le passĂ© et le moderne.

INTO ORBIT
The stars, the moon, the universe. Who hasnât dreamed of travelling through the cosmos, wide eyes turned to the sky? Driven by our fascination for space, we decided to follow in the footsteps of Neil Armstrong and swap our telescope for a veritable launch into orbit in the Space Suite at the Grand Kameha Zurich hotel. Drawing inspiration from his diverse projects on the theme of space flight, German artist Michael Najjar rose to the challenge of designing an actual space suite for the hotel. The establishment hopes to offer its guests â known as âcrew membersâ â the feeling of really living in a space station.
DESIGN

As soon as we arrived we were bowled over by the perfectionism of the Space Suite. User instructions were delivered by a female voice inspired by John Carpenterâs science-fiction film, Dark Star. The carpets on the floor and the ceiling were created by the artist based on high-res documents obtained from the Hubble Space Telescope, combined to form a new, fictional universe. The suiteâs colour scheme is also inverted to emphasise the abstract experience â the space is white, and the stars are black. We were astonished by every treasure revealed by the Space Suite, as if in a museum. An astronautâs glove sticking out of the wall particularly caught our attention. The object was designed by Najjar exclusively for the Space Suite, and enables crew members to store their mobile phones and keys. We also appreciated the lighting â in the shape of rocket engines â the floating bed, and the three, original works of art taken from the artistâs Outer Space series. The window is covered with a semi-transparent sheet that blocks the view outside while letting light into the room. We felt as though we were in a bubble; protected from the world outdoors. The suite offers no TV channels, but instead a selection of films about space. We also found a library of old and new books, and an audio library, both on the same theme. The Space Suite is the ideal way to get out of the daily routine, and travel through a new world. As we prepared to leave after our stay, we couldnât help feeling nostalgic. Aside from the highly conceptual aspect of the room, we also enjoyed its generous volumes and exceptional comfort, as well as the quality of service at the hotel. As we touched-down into reality, we already couldnât wait to fly back into the cosmos. Or perhaps explore any of the other ten themed rooms offered by the Grand Kameha Zurich hotel.

Les Ă©toiles, la lune, lâunivers. Qui nâa jamais rĂȘvĂ© de sâĂ©vader dans le cosmos alors quâil regardait vers le ciel ? FascinĂ©s par lâespace, nous dĂ©cidons de suivre les traces de Neil Armstrong et troquer notre tĂ©lescope contre une vĂ©ritable expĂ©dition sur orbite, en sĂ©journant dans la Space Suite situĂ©e au Grand Kameha Zurich.
DĂšs notre arrivĂ©e, nous sommes subjuguĂ©s par le perfectionnisme suggĂ©rĂ© par la Space Suite. Les instructions dâutilisation sont divulguĂ©es par une voix fĂ©minine inspirĂ©e du film de science fiction « Dark Star » de John Carpenters. Les tapis fixĂ©s au sol et au plafond sont rĂ©alisĂ©s par lâartiste sur la base de fichiers highres provenant du Huble Space Telescope, et regroupĂ©s pour former un nouvel univers fictif. Les couleurs sont inversĂ©es afin de souligner le caractĂšre abstrait ; lâespace est blanc, les Ă©toiles noires.

Sur la base de ses diverses rĂ©alisations sur le thĂšme du voyage spatial, lâartiste Michael Najjar a acceptĂ© le challenge de concevoir une suite spatiale pour lâhĂŽtel, de maniĂšre Ă offrir au visiteur â appelĂ© Crew Member â le sentiment de vivre sur une station spatiale.
Comme dans un musĂ©e, nous sommes Ă©merveillĂ©s par chaque trĂ©sor rĂ©vĂ©lĂ© par la Space Suite. Un gant dâastronaute jaillissant du mur, attire particuliĂšrement notre attention. Lâobjet conçu par Najjar, en exclusivitĂ© pour la Space Suite, permet au Crew Member dây placer son tĂ©lĂ©phone ou ses clĂ©s. Nous apprĂ©cions Ă©galement les luminaires en forme de moteurs de fusĂ©e, le lit flottant et les trois Ćuvres dâart originales provenant de la sĂ©rie « outer space » de lâartiste. La fenĂȘtre est recouverte dâune feuille semi-transparente qui bloque la visibilitĂ© vers lâextĂ©rieur mais permet Ă la lumiĂšre dâentrer. Comme dans une bulle, nous sommes « protĂ©gĂ©s» du monde extĂ©rieur. Les chaĂźnes TV sont absentes pour laisser place Ă une sĂ©lection de films sur lâespace.

IdĂ©ale pour se libĂ©rer du quotidien, la Space Suite nous fait voyager dans un autre monde. Au moment de partir, la nostalgie se fait dâores et dĂ©jĂ ressentir. Outre son caractĂšre trĂšs conceptuel, nous apprĂ©cions la grandeur et le confort de la suite, mais Ă©galement la qualitĂ© du service offert par lâhĂŽtel.

The trip to Lugano is one that fascinates the senses like no other. With rain following us from Geneva, passing through the Gotthard is like entering a wormhole into another dimension. The exit of the 17 kilometres long tunnel greets us with bright rays of sun and a ten-degree temperature increase. It seems like we landed in a Swiss-Italian utopia, where the sun always shines and the Dolce Vita finds its balance with Swiss precision.

The first thing we canât take our eyes of, is the stunning view over lake Lugano and its surroundings. We settle in and immediately head down to the stunning 2200 sqm.

Un voyage Ă Lugano nâa pas dâĂ©gal pour fasciner les sens. La pluie nous poursuivant depuis GenĂšve, le passage du vortex du Gotthard nous transporte dans une autre dimension. A la sortie du tunnel de 17 kilomĂštres de long, nous sommes accueillis par de brillants rayons de soleil et le thermomĂštre affiche dix degrĂ©s de plus. Nous avons atterri dans une sorte dâutopie suisse-italienne, oĂč le soleil brille en permanence et oĂč la Dolce Vita vit en symbiose avec la prĂ©cision suisse.

in total relaxation while our face feels new and refreshed, we might say radiant even. We continue our DOT.Spa experience with a swim in the pool, that connects to a magnificent exterior part with breath-taking views over the lake and garden. This is what we came for, and we totally disconnect from our hectic Geneva life and agenda. Time to take a tour through the saunas and steam bath to revitalize our senses. After cooling down, we decide to treat ourselves to a beautiful lunch at the âLa Cucinaâ restaurant where Chef Franco Passoni passionately creates poetry on a plate. Inspired by the East and Mediterranean, his dishes are a delicious culinary virtuosity. Fulfilled after a long day full of experiences, we head to bed and dream about the beauty, the serenity and Mediterranean dolce vita that has overcome us. This truly is another dimension, and we never want to leave.

OASIS OF CALM NAMAN PurE SPA BY MIA DESIGN StuDIO
After being completely won over by their portfolio, we decided to take a closer look at MIA Design Studio. This design and architecture firm founded in Vietnam by Manh Nguyen Hoang, Steven Baeteman and Bao Bui Hoang in 2003 expanded to Bali in Indonesia in 2009. Made up of architects, landscapers, interior designers and technicians, MIA Design is a studio driven by modern trends. It is renowned for the simple appearance of its projects, which place a particular importance on nature and local weather conditions. Among the studioâs completed works, the Naman Pure Spa is easily the clearest demonstration of their vision of architecture and design. Located in the five-star Naman Retreat, the spa is an oasis of calm in the heart of lush greenery. The space offers some 15 rooms with breathtaking views over the hotel gardens, deep pools and vast sun loungers for two people. The spa also features a sports club, with meditation and yoga classes held in the âgarden loungeâ in the mornings. As the Naman Spa is nestled next to the sunny coastline of the Central Vietnam region, temperatures can often be particularly high. With this in mind, MIA Design Studio focused on the creation of a natural ventilation system to ensure the building stays cool. The use of local plants also plays a major role in keeping the temperature down. Whatâs more, they have a high resistance to harsh weather conditions, lending the building a natural aesthetic while remaining sustainable and functional. Every instant spent in the retreat is one of exceptional relaxation in a luxurious setting, thanks to the location of the spa, the modern, minimalistic architecture, and the intelligent use of local flora. Another premium project from MIA Design Studio and headed up by one of its founders, Manh Nguyen Hoang.

Rose. Rabbit. Lie. is one of their many creations â a restaurant/bar/club boasting an extravagant look. This unique concept is found in âSin Cityâ - better known as Las Vegas - and inspired by social clubs of the past. The design is based on architecture from the 1920s, and showcases a blend of modern arts and futuristic technology. The result is a wonderful harmony between times past and the digital age of tomorrow. Tasked with revamping more than 10,500 sq. ft., Avroko developed the interior design, the furniture and all of the lighting in the restaurant. The imposing entrance to Rose. Rabbit. Lie. at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas invites clients to discover a truly astonishing setting. The restaurant/bar/club features several rooms, each with a different aesthetic and line-up of events. The running theme linking each space is an Art Deco design revisited in a modern style. The design firm preferred a classic look for the furniture, while the lighting is an homage to innovation and modernism. The establishmentâs colours boast tones of pink, mint and indigo matched with touches of metallic shades, and the leading materials used are metal, wood, leather and angora wool. The finishes conjure up images of a sumptuous, luxurious setting peppered with original features. The food and drinks menu also offers sophisticated fare befitting such breathtaking interior design. Whether youâre a poker ace or looking for a trip away with friends, come to Las Vegas to try your hand and indulge in a night at Rose. Rabbit. Lie!

An oasis of calm above the hustle and bustle of the Bahnhofstrasse. After a long day of shopping on the renowned street in ZĂŒrich, we decided to head to the Rooftop Restaurant. Located on the sixth f loor of the Modissa concept store, the establishment features interior design blending raw materials and contemporary style, and a panoramic terrace offering inimitable views over the city. As well as serving multicultural, varied cuisine such as Asian dim sum and Angus beef, the Rooftop Restaurant also offers a number of sumptuous cocktails. We gave in to our curiosity and indulged in a Heino â a cocktail concocted with champagne and yuzu. And when we left, we had already planned to come back for the restaurantâs renowned Sunday brunch!

The last time we visited Lausanne, we stopped by the Sky Lounge located at the Royal Savoy. Founded in 1909, the legendary palace hotel was under renovation for several years, and is now writing another chapter in its rich and varied life. This historic building boasts Art-Deco style and a stunning heritage we couldnât wait to rediscover. Upon arriving on the top floor, we excitedly made our way to the Sky Lounge, a modern, 52-seat rooftop with breathtaking views over Lausanne and the Alps. We particularly enjoyed the cuisine, which blends Asian, Italian and Spanish inspirations. As for the cocktails, the menu is an invitation to discover Peru with the Machu Picchu, or Arabia with the 1001 Nights. With its sophisticated, round-the-world cuisine and cocktails, the Sky Lounge is a unique setting offering a combination of elegance, history and modernity.

Thereâs nothing better than a well-earned break after an exhausting day on the job.

The space in which the A La Recherche installation is exhibited was originally a reservoir source for a spa during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The interior spans around 215 sq. ft. and offers 50ft-high ceilings, with the sculpture rotating slowly in the centre. The exploded disco ball and the reflections across the walls symbolise the glory days of this legendary institution.
Lâinstallation A La Recherche a Ă©tĂ© crĂ©Ă©e sur mesure pour amĂ©nager un espace dans la fameuse boĂźte de nuit Les Bains Ă Paris. CĂ©lĂšbre spot du monde de la nuit des annĂ©es 80-90 qui, par la suite, a Ă©tĂ© transformĂ© en un hĂŽtel, restaurant et club. SignĂ©e Joachim Sauter, artiste designer berlinois, cette sculpture reprĂ©sente une boule Ă facettes explosĂ©e recouvrant les murs de multiples points lumineux Ă©parpillĂ©s composant les mots âretrouve le temps perduâ. On peut lire cette phrase de plusieurs façons diffĂ©rentes; re trouve le temps perdu, le temps perdu retrouvĂ©, perdu le temps... Ces mots font rĂ©fĂ©rence au lĂ©gendaire passĂ© du club Les Bains. Ils font Ă©galement un parallĂšle Ă la cĂ©lĂšbre oeuvre âA la recherche du temps perduâ de lâĂ©crivain français Marcel Proust. Lâespace dans lequel A La Recherche se trouve, avait pour fonction de dĂ©part un rĂ©servoir dâeau pour le spa durant le XIXe - dĂ©but du XXe siĂšcle. A lâintĂ©rieur dâune surface de 20 m2 et une hauteur de plafond de 15 mĂštres, lâoeuvre est en rotation lente dans lâespace. La boule de disco Ă©clatĂ©e et les rĂ©flexions projetĂ©es aux murs symbolisent les annĂ©es folles de ce lieu mythique.

Berlin artist and designer Joachim Sauter created the sculpture, representing an exploded disco ball covering the walls with scattered, sparkling shards to make up the phrase âretrouve le temps perduâ (âfind lost timeâ). The inscription can be read in several different ways in French, translating as âfind lost timeâ, âlost time foundâ, and âtime is lost.â The words are a nod to the legendary past of the Les Bains nightclub, while paying homage to the renowned work by French writer Marcel Proust, In Search of Lost Time.

The A La Recherche sculpture installation was tailor-made as part of a new space in the renowned Les Bains nightclub in Paris. This establishment was a lively smart-set hotspot during the 1980s and 1990s, and has since been transformed into a hotel, restaurant and club.

CHOCOLATE PASSION thE COMPOSItIONS Of PhILIPPE PASCOĂ«t
Meticulously developed blends combining aromatic herbs, saffron and even liquorice create bold f lavours and a truly gustatory experience. Our personal favourites were the chocolate fondants, which offered subtle flavours and unique aromas such as Earl Grey tea, blackcurrant and pistachio. With an increasingly diverse and delicious range of ganaches, sweet boxes and chocolate bars, Philippe PascoĂ«t certainly deserves his prestige. We didnât think twice about stopping by his boutique in Carouge to indulge in a (guilty) little pleasure.
La Suisse et le chocolat ? Une grande histoire dâamour. Mais au delĂ de ce clichĂ©, presque rĂ©ducteur, se cache une rĂ©elle maĂźtrise culinaire. Lâappellation « Maitre Chocolatier Suisse » est certes un gage de qualitĂ©, mais plus que le titre, câest la passion du chocolat qui pousse Philippe PascoĂ«t Ă se rĂ©inventer chaque jour. Son inspiration ? Il la puise Ă travers ses voyages et ses rencontres ; tel un parfumeur, ses compositions sont Ă son image : inĂ©dites et savoureuses. Des mariages recherchĂ©s, mĂȘlant herbes aromatiques, safran ou encore rĂ©glisse et donnant naissance Ă des saveurs intactes et Ă une vĂ©ritable expĂ©rience gustative. Notre coup de cĆur ? Les moelleux, aux goĂ»ts subtils et aux parfums originaux : ThĂ© Earl Grey, cassis ou encore pistache. Avec une gamme toujours plus variĂ©e et savoureuse de ganaches, bonbonniĂšres et tablettes, Philippe PascoĂ«t mĂ©rite ses distinctions, et ce sont les yeux fermĂ©s que nous nous rendons dans sa boutique de Carouge afin de satisfaire ce plaisir.

Switzerland and chocolate is a longstanding love story. But these sometimes simplistic clichĂ©s hide true culinary mastery. The âMaĂźtre Chocolatier Suisseâ label is certainly a quality guarantee, but what really drives Philippe PascoĂ«t to constantly innovate and reinvent is his passion for chocolate. He draws his inspiration from his travels and encounters. In the style of a perfumer, his compositions are crafted in his image: original and packed with flavour.

The media in Geneva was in collective mourning in early 2016, as yet another eatery on the Rue du RhĂŽne disappeared. This time it was Le Baroque Restaurant. But the passionate duo behind the establishment â brothers Mehdi and Misam Ghadiali â had other plans, and soon reopened the beloved restaurant on the Passage des Lions in the heart of Geneva. Staying true to its original atmosphere of festive poetry and an exclusive welcome, Le Baroque Restaurant has returned with an exceptional new setting. Located between the renowned Rue du RhĂŽne and the Rue de la ConfĂ©dĂ©ration, the revamped space is truly timeless.
