DEVOTION, A DRIVING FORCE

ARMANI, A SUPPORTING FOUNDER OF THE TEATRO ALLA SCALA FOUNDATION

Dolce & Gabbana affirms its core values and highlights the essence of “Made in Italy” design and craftsmanship.

The Devotion Bag spotlights the “Sacro Cuore”, or sacred heart, which is both a symbol of faith and of trust. It is a frieze in antique bronze clad in a 24kt gold leaf, and crafted with the ancient technique of lost-wax casting known as “cire-perdue” in traditional jewellery-making. The desired form is first sculpted in wax to build a mold around it. Molten brass is then poured into the mold, displacing the wax. The central core, embellished by a miniature bearing the DG logo, is framed by pearl and foliage designs. The Devotion Lace bag and shoes, pictured below, are created entirely in lace which comes in rainbow colours. Floral lace meets the beautiful brooch shaped like the sacred heart, which symbolises the iconic collection Teatro alla Scala, which became a Foundation in 1997 and has been active in spreading the art of music in Italy and abroad through the preservation and promotion of its rich heritage - musical, artistic, technical or professional, now counts The Armani Group a Supporting Founder. by Dolce & Gabbana.

The arts have always been put on the back burner during trying times because they don’t immediately appear vital and

A Force of Nature and Design Photographed by Sposito Studio based in San Paulo, Brazil, the Lamborghini Huracan EVO highlights aerodynamic solutions while remaining true to the marque’s design philosophy.

The passenger compartment features a n 8.4-inch touchscreen system in the centre console, from which the vehicle and entertainment functions are controlled. The interiors feature the highest quality materials and upholstery available in leather, Alcantara and Carbon Skin®. The howl of the Huracán EVO comes from its naturally aspirated V10 engine which unleashes 640 CV and achieves speeds of 201 mph (325 km/h).

OUR ECONOMIC BOUNCEBACK ON THE HORIZON

Though few of us today are old enough to remember the first decades of the 20th century, the annals of history tell us that World War I - the “war to end all wars” took 20 million lives, and that same decade, the Spanish Flu swept through the globe claiming 50 million lives. But what followed were the Roaring Twenties, an astonishing recovery as the war came to its end and the Spanish Flu entered its third wave. Sounds almost familiar? The summer of 2020 saw people returning to beaches and shopping streets as lockdown lifted. Some degree of normalcy resumed, until the second wave, of course. Will much-suffered sectors, such as retail, experience an economic bounceback like the Roaring Twenties? A particular cohort, Gen-Z, born between 1997 and 2012, currently 40 percent of global consumers accounting for $150 billion spent in the United States alone, according to McKinsey & Company, will become a consumer powerhouse by 2035, as Bain & Company estimate that Gen-Z spending could amount to 40 percent of the global market. Online sales in the second quarter rose 45% compared to the same time last year in the U.S., tripling recent growth. E-commerce looms greater than ever before. Brands of the future will be the ones that know not only how to leverage social media, but also maximise other consumer engagement techniques.

AN ENGINE THAT MADE HISTORY THE ASPIRATED V12 ENGINE HAS POWERED LAMBORGHINI EVER SINCE THE FIRST 350 GT MODEL CAME ONTO THE SCENE IN 1963. When Ferruccio Lamborghini set out to create the perfect sports car, legend has it that the brand’s founder offered engineer and designer Giotto Bizzarrini a bonus for each additional power output that he could get. The Miura, created in 1966 and that evolved into the SV in 1971, broke all the rules with the V12 moved to the centre rear, and with the Countach (1974), the engine was moved even further to the back. The LM002 (1986) then incorporated the Countach engine into the very first SUV. The Diablo (1990) offered 4-wheel drive for the first time. The latest chapter of the V12 began in 2011, with the launch of the Aventador and its brand-new 6.5-liter V12. With 700 CV, acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 350 km/h, up until today no fewer than four engine versions include the SVJ’s engine, which delivers 770 CV and 720 NM of torque at 8,500 rpm.

SYMBOL OF ITALY, SUPPORTER OF THE ARTS

Since 1997, Teatro alla Scala Foundation has been spreading the art of music in Italy and around the world through the preservation and promotion of its musical, artistic, technical and professional tradition. Now, the Armani Group renews its pledge to this institution as a Supporting Founder. The commitment, announced during the Board of Directors meeting, is being formalised on 17 May 2021 with the co-optation of the Assembly of the Teatro alla Scala Foundation, chaired by the Mayor of Milan Giuseppe Sala.

“Now, more than ever, I feel it is my moral obligation to actively contribute to the support of this prestigious theatre— rich heritage of the Milanese and non-Milanese alike, a true symbol of intellectual resistance”, remarked Giorgio Armani, President and CEO of the Armani Group. Mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala said: “The inclusion of Giorgio Armani among the supporting founders of La Scala – a cultural institution of utmost prestige - is the concretization of a union that was destined to be. And not simply for one reason alone. Global fame, excellence in creativity, a unique and authentic style – all of which have made Giorgio Armani the ‘king’ of Italian and Milanese fashion worldwide – are the same characteristics that have led Teatro alla Scala to be considered the ‘most beautiful theatre in the world’, an opera and ballet temple. We are therefore grateful to Giorgio Armani for this grand, new act of love towards Milan. A gesture that speaks to the future of our city and its recovery, as well as to a winning partnership between the fashion house and the Teatro, first announced last December on the occasion of La Scala’s opera season opening night. An extraordinary

show, held without an audience but still enjoyed all over the world – a performance where, together with the music, we were able to admire the costumes created especially for the artists by Armani.” “La Scala and Giorgio Armani,” added general manager and artistic director Dominique Meyer, “are two symbols of Italy around the world but they are also two deeply Mi-

“Theatre, music, ballet are pure expressions of beauty and the highest of human qualities.” – Giorgio Armani lanese institutions. Being both international and unique, sharing the same standards and tireless pursuit of beauty and quality, and drawing from the same love of art and fine craftsmanship are what make La Scala and Armani the perfect embodiment of of the spirit of this city. For this reason, our collaboration is a strong message of Milan’s desire to reopen, with an awareness of its past and renewed determination for the future”.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars revealed a new visual language of luxury with the introduction of a fresh, contemporary brand identity. Its design and execution were driven by the brand’s ever-younger client demographic, their lifestyle and the luxury world that surrounds them. “Now, with the opening of our new flagship residence in London, and our showroom in Shanghai, we are able to present our unique products in the surroundings of a luxurious boutique, befitting of Rolls-Royce’s position as the manufacturer of the world’s most precious luxury goods,” stated Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars.

A C E N T E N N I A L ROLLS-ROYCE MOTOR CARS WELCOMES NEW DESIGN DIRECTOR C E L E B R AT I O N Guerlain’s Eau de Fleurs de Cédrat fêtes 100 years of Mediterranean inspirations with a special edition. To conjure up the beauty of Mediterranean Riviera’s landscapes and the olfactory charm of its citrus scents, Jacques Guerlain created the Eau de Fleurs de Cédrat in the beginning of the 20th century. In this triple-citrus fragrance, citron prevails and lemon zest adds a touch of tartness, while verbena is enlivened through lemony accents. One of Asia’s first citrus fruits that made its way to Europe, the citron is larger and has a bumpier appearance compared to lemon. In perfume-making, it is chosen for its rich, fresh and tangy notes, and its extract is obtained the same way, through pressing. For the centennial celebration, artist Anne Brun has adorned Guerlain’s iconic Bee Bottle with a hand-painted palladium leaf gilding - a tradi- Adrian van Hooydonk, Senior Vice President, BMW Group Design, commented, “Anders Warming has a proven track record as an extional craftsmanship in which tremely creative and passionate designer with a keen eye for detail and craftsmanship and since he has spent most of his career in our she specialises.

New aesthetic direction

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has announced that Anders Warming is the new Director of Design.. His experience includes almost 20 years in senior positions in the BMW Group, including Head of Design at MINI and Exterior Chief Designer at BMW. Warming also held various senior design positions in companies including Borgward and Volkswagen. Chief Executive Officer Torsten Müller-Ötvös said, “As

When Marcel Wanders Meets Christofle Ten years ago, Marcel Wanders studio and Christofle came together with the desire to enhance silverware and tell a story based on gourmandise. The idea of a luxuriant garden emerged, and the studio wished to reinterpret the “Garden of Eden” and created the iconic motif now found on all the pieces in the collection. Marcel Wanders Studio produced this monumental grandfather clock with the technical support of Luigi Barei. It is part of the Jardin d’Éden

collection which also includes a big wall clock and stainless steel chair with etching that exudes distinct character. “These new designs symbolize silver craftsmanship, as no other material makes it possible to achieve such intense beauty while revealing the alliance between spirituality and humanity,” added Gabriele Chiave, Creative Director, Marcel Wanders studio. The pieces feature a signature pattern of interlaced leaves, curled lys flowers and apples against an encompassing geometric matrix. For the collection’s 10th anniversary, the Cuckoo Clock has been created this year. The automaton marks the passing of time while depicting Adam and Eve, as if retracing its steps back to the beginning of time - back to the Garden of Eden.

CREATIVITY, IMAGINATION AND EXPLORATION

our Director of Design, he will have a key role in defining our future aesthetic direction and realising our clients’ dreams and aspirations. Anders joins us as we move forward to full electrification of our brand, which will shape Rolls-Royce for decades to come. He will face the challenge of upholding the fundamental design

principles of Sir Henry Royce himself, which have guided us for over 100 years... To become the Director of Design for Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is the most prestigious and challenging brief in the luxury industry.” Warming expressed, “It is a tremendous privilege and a humbling experience to be asked to take up this role.

NEW GHOST EXTENDED URBAN SANCTUARY At Auto China 2021, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars presented the possibilities of Bespoke that underpin its continued success. The new Ghost Extended has also embarked on its Bespoke journey. Further exploring its Post Opulent design philosophy, which celebrates material substance, Urban Sanctuary debuts an elevated expression of Parquetry. Like the ‘cracked ice’ effect of the wooden window shutters on a pavilion building within Shanghai’s storied Yu Yuan Gardens, a geometric mosaic of wood pieces is finished in un-lacquered open pore Obsidian Ayous veneer. The theme continues by way of Bespoke embroidered panels in the seat inserts. The interior also employs a front-to-back Navy Blue and Cashmere Grey 2-tone colourway. The chauffeur-driven experience is underscored by reclinable Serenity Seating with calf rests, like on private jets. The elegant treatment is scythed with Lime Green contrast stitching, which is also featured in the luggage compartment where a Bespoke Luggage set is stowed, finished in matching Navy Blue canvas, Cashmere Grey hide and Lime Green contrast. Urban Sanctuary’s coachwork is finished in a gracefully subdued Gunmetal and Jubilee Silver two tone with a vibrant Lime Green coachline and wheel pinstripe, referencing the neon nights of Shanghai by night. The Rolls-Royce Motor Cars boutique in Shanghai has reopened with a new look which resonates with younger clients, signifying importance of the Chinese market.

A WUNDERKIND IN THE DESIGN WORLD MARCEL WANDERS STUDIO AIMS TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT OF LOVE, LIVE WITH PASSION AND MAKE THE MOST EXCITING DREAMS COME TRUE Marcel Wanders’ chief concern is bringing the human touch back to design, ushering in what he calls design’s ‘new age;’ in which designer, craftsperson and user are reunited. In his process, Marcel Wanders defies design dogma, preferring instead to focus on holistic solutions rather than the technocratic. In this universe, the coldness of industrialism is replaced instead by the poetry, fantasy and romance of different ages, vividly brought to life in the contemporary moment. Marcel Wanders Studio is one of today’s leading designers who collaborates with Christofle to offer ambitious, contemporary pieces by its “Meilleurs Ouvriers de France” (Best Craftsmen in France). New pieces, re-editions and historic reproductions, custom orders and more are crafted at Christofle’s workshops in Yainville, France.

PHOTOGRAPHY

IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER A graduate in Architecture from the European University of Madrid, Gorka Postigo co-founded the Davidelfin brand with his brothers Debora and Diego Postigo in 2001, together with model Bimba Bosé and late designer David Delfín. Ever since, his graphic image, photographic campaigns, scenographies and artistic projects have gone went from strength to strength over the decades. Today, he is a fashion photographer and documentarian whose images are an adventure into a world of romanticism and quirkiness. His portraits play with fantasy, beauty, art history and a touch of the absurd. Both cinematic and graphic, Postigo’s pictures are visually striking and playful. He has photographed campaigns for Jean Paul Gaultier, Miu Miu, Carolina Herrera, Paco Rabanne and Nina Ricci. His work has been published in Vogue Italia, Vogue Spain, Icon Magazine, Hercules Universal, among others. In 2018, he debuted “Presente Futuro,” an exhibition on transgender youth in Spain. Through its success, Postigo published “Presente Futuro” in 2019 — the monograph dedicated to his documentation of LGBTQ youth throughout his home country. The book was edited by This side up and launched with the support of Jean Paul Gaultier. On the opposite page, his image portrays the brand’s So Scandal perfume: “She walked past me without even a second glance. A storm in just a tuxedo jacket, and her bare legs. Like an endless compass that one would follow to the end of the world. So sexy. As she strolled by, I saw them all stop mid-sentence. A shock in slow motion. So scandal-ized! Faintly amused by the silent turbulence she sowed in her wake, she heads straight to her table, the one with her gang. Unapologetically determined that the show goes on, her attitude had no latitude for discretion or reserve.” The long time collaboration between Gorka Postigo and Jean Paul Gaultier Fragrances includes Classique and Le Male, Le Male Le Parfum, So Scandal, La Belle and Le Beau. This spring sees the launch of La Belle ‘Le Parfum’, as well as Le Male ‘On Board’ which will be the latest addition to the men’s collection, following Le Male, Ultra Male, Le Beau, and Le Male ‘Le Parfum’. A limited edition, its refreshing notes feature bergamot, geranium, tonka beans and amber.

In 2011, Puig became the majority shareholder of the Jean Paul Gaultier fashion house, and has fully integrated Jean Paul Gaultier Fragrances into its brand portfolio as of 2016. Puig has reimagined these iconic fragrances through the lens of Gaultier’s extravagant creativity, with new interpretations of Le Male and Classique Essence de Parfum (2016), as well as exclusive offerings of Les Eaux Fraîches (2016, 2017, 2018), and limited editions of Le Male in the Navy and Classique Cabaret (2019). Puig doubled down on Jean Paul Gaultier’s image as l’enfant terrible de la mode with the creation of Scandal (2017), a spectacularly sexy scent for an uninhibited woman. In a departure from Gaultier’s earlier torso-shaped bottles, the flacon for Scandal is topped with a kicky pair of legs in stiletto heels. Scandal by Night, a 2018 release, evokes the louche side of Paris nightlife with its honeyed intensity. In 2019 Irina Shayk became the ambassador of the Scandal line, lending her magnetic beauty to the latest launch, Scandal à Paris, a luminous, sensual fragrance. Perfumers Daphné Bugey and Fabrice Pellegrin collaborate once again on the So Scandal version, with orange blossom, sambac jasmine, tuberose and raspberry. Puig has created AILICE - initials inspired by “Alice Through The Looking Glass” - a new technology that enables fragrance consumers to preview the scent of a perfume in real time without actually testing or smelling it. The Spanish company Puig needs no introduction, as a third-generation family-owned fashion and fragrance business based in Barcelona. It is known for its ability to build brands, to shape the image of brands through fashion, and to translate that same image into the world of fragrance through storytelling and product excellence. More recently, Puig has created AILICE, a new technology that enables fragrance consumers to preview the scent of a perfume in real time without actually testing or smelling it. Initials inspired by “Alice Through The Looking Glass”, AILICE invites customers to scan a QR code with their smartphones. Then, at the counter, when the camera of their device is focused on the bottle or packaging of

For the AILICE launch, Puig worked with Penhaligon’s to create what’s called the Magic Monocle.

Puig aims to reach €3 billion in sales in 2023, and hopes to achieve over €4 billion in 2025. By that time, the portfolio is expected to include two almost 1 billion-euro brands (Paco Rabanne and Carolina Herrera), two brands with sales of €500 million (Isdin and Charlotte Tilbury); as well as others such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Penhaligon’s, Dries Van Noten, Uriage, Apivita, L’Artisan Parfumeur and the Christian Louboutin license, with sales of between €100 million and €500 million.

THERE ARE SOME PHOTOGRAPHERS THAT ARE SYNONYMOUS WITH HIGH FASHION, LIKE MARIO TESTINO, MARIO SORRENTI, TERRY RICHARDSON, AND OF COURSE, PHOTOGRAPHY DUO MERT AND MARCUS.

MERT ALAS & MARCUS PIGGOTT www.mertandmarcus.tumblr.com Over the course of 25 years, the photography duo has become one of the most distinctive and powerful forces in the fashion industry. Having met in 1994 in London, Mert and Marcus quickly forged a working relationship, with their first shoot together ending up on the cover of Dazed & Confused magazine. Since then, they have gone on to create some of the most iconic imagery of the last two decades. Their work is marked by an incredible use of often hyperreal colour and light, and has been featured in many of the world’s leading publications, including the American, French, Italian, and British editions of Vogue, W, Document Journal, Self Service, Interview, LOVE, Vanity Fair and Print Publication among others. They have directed music videos for Madonna and Nicki Minaj, and have shot advertising campaigns for many leading luxury brands, including Christian Dior, Calvin Klein, Gucci, Miu Miu, Versace, Lancome, Giorgio Armani, Yves Saint Laurent and Louis Vuitton. For seven consecutive years, Mert and Marcus shot and directed the Givenchy campaigns under the creative direction of Riccardo Tisci. Signifying their creative influence on the storied house during its transformation into a global megabrand. Mert and Marcus published their first book in 2017 with Taschen, and their work is featured in many public and private art collections around the world.

The masquerade shoot by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott for the October 2015 issue of Vogue Paris featured Lara Stone, Freja Beha Erichsen, Mariacarla Boscono, Crystal Renn, Daphne Groeneveld, Roberto Bolle and Josh Parkinson.

Fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, known for their Vogue shoots, started working together in 1994 and have since travelled the world, collaborating on fashion campaigns and working with some of the biggest names in the entertainment and fashion worlds, from Naomi Campbell and Miley Cyrus to Kate Moss in her cover for Playboy. In a field as oversaturated as fashion photography, Mert & Marcus have done the impossible: they’ve developed an invaluable style that is uniquely their own. With a list of clients and collaborators that reads like the who’s who of fashion, Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott are two of the most in-demand photographers working today. Their work incorporates elements of strength, beauty, darkness and vulnerability to glamorous effect. Their aesthetic is highly polished, colour-saturated and hyperreal. “The difference between us and other photographers is that we care a lot about appearance,” said Alas. “We spend most of the time in the make-up and hairstyling rooms”. As art-conscious club kids in the 1990s, they fell backward

into fashion, each other’s arms, and, most important, photography. The duo’s discerning, constantly evolving aesthetic makes them coveted among haute-couture magazines and advertisers who give them the freedom to make images without the constraints that would normally be placed on many of their fellow photographers. When Alas and Piggott met in 1993 at a party on a pier in Hastings, England, they were barely in their twenties. Alas, a Turkish emigré who had studied classical music, said that before they met, they had not lived much life yet, and that, in effect, growing up together formed the basis of their fluid working relationship. The first photos the duo submitted to Dazed & Confused made the cover. Alas and Piggott developed their aesthetic shooting and styling for magazines such as Vogue and W and advertisements for brands such as Louis Vuitton and Givenchy. “Our job is to create an identity for brands so people can relate to them,” Alas said. “But that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t hold any artistic value within that process.” Kate Moss, a friend and frequent subject, spoke effusively of

the photographers. “I trust them. I would never say ‘I don’t want to do that’ Lots of people have their idea of what a girl is, whereas when I work with them, it kind of is more playful.” A 2011 Love magazine editorial called “What Lies Beneath”, which Alas and Piggott produced, drew criticism online for bearing an undeniable likeness to photographer Jeff Bark’s haunting series Woodpecker. Their 46-page spread, with its striking similarities in subject, tone and iconography—and even some props—can be said to expand upon the vision of Berk’s original eight images, with a bigger budget and higher production values. They create images with cameras and computers with help from a small army of digital technicians, retouchers and art assistants before, during, and after their shoots, obsessing about every detail and finding solutions to every problem that arises. Their shoots boast some of the biggest budgets, most talented collaborators and hippest influences. Having a team allows them the luxury to concentrate on the more artistic decisions to be made on set rather than be bogged down by technical troubleshooting.

Fondazione Feltrinelli

Libreria Dello Spettacolo

MILAN’S TOP BOOKSTORES (Clockwise from top) Artemide illuminates Milan’s Fondazione Feltrinelli, designed by Herzog & De Meuron. In the top-floor library, illumination finds its maximum expression to create an emotive, scenic and perceptive dialogue, between more than 100 Unterlinden suspending from the ceiling and the large windows that characterise the building’s façade. Libreria dello Spettacolo is a must for enthusiasts of the performing arts, stocked with scripts, biographies and publications about theatre, cinema, opera, dance, even circus and puppet show. Take a deep dive into the heart of Milan at Libreria Bocca, founded in 1775 and managed by the Lodetti family for the past 40 years. Here, reading culture takes on its fullest expression in an evocative location. Libri Senza Data, as its name suggests, brims with first editions, rare books, old and antique publications handpicked by the knowledgeable bookseller. Look out for vintage magazines and prints for a glimpse into popular culture in the modern era. At Rizzoli, you will find a coffee table-worthy title, from architecture, design and fashion by the most prestigious publishers, to children’s literature, sociology, film and much more. Pick up a gift or two amongst its stationery selections. Libreria Punto Einaudi in Milan is one of the publisher’s outposts in Italy. This is where to go if you are looking for a sold-out or out-of-print book by Einaudi. Come inside this intimate space situated on a quaint side street and sink into an armchair in the reading room. Another urban escape is Libreria Malavasi, established in 1940. Take a moment to browse its window display filled with ancient maps and vintage books, opened to entice readers with their curious images. Time stands still at these bookstores that are a good antidote to Milan’s fast-paced lifestyle.

FOR AN ALTERNATIVE FORM OF INVESTMENT – SOMETHING THAT CAN BE TOUCHED, ENJOYED AND ADMIRED IN ONE’S HOME – ACQUIRING RARE BOOKS MAY BE A CONSIDERATION.

CULTURAL TREASURES

1. Instead of just looking at

the price, a buyer should consider the importance of the book within its field in order to understand if it is prime or not.

Investing in rare books is not just financial. Acquiring these precious items is a privilege and building your own private collection is even more satisfying, in the same way as one might get pleasure from a piece of art hanging in one’s home, because it is something tangible. Ten years ago, one could own a first edition of Darwin’s “Origin of Species” in its green cloth binding for about £70,000. Today it would cost around £225,000 for the same copy. In November 2020, Bonhams Los Angeles auctioned a copy estimated between $90,000 to $120,000, and it sold with premium for $168,825. As a matter of fact, science and math sold particularly well during the pandemic. This form of alternative investment is not directly linked to macro-economic trends in the stock market and property, according to Peter Harrington Rare Books. There was no panic selling following the last few market downturns, post 9/11 and during the financial crisis of 2008-2009. However, since the early 2000s, many rare bookstores have gone out of business and moved online. As the number of collectors and book fair participants decreased, more and more people opted to browse in brick-and-mortor stores and then make their purchases online where they found better deals. As a result, only the very top of the rarest, most premium book market has remained resilient while the mid-range and the rest eroded. And that peak surpassed all expectations. During the pandemic, Christie’s folio of Shakespeare’s comedies, histories and tragedies which had a presale estimate of $4 million to $6 million, sold for $10 million after a bidding war between three parties. Many auctioned items did better than their estimates as buyers spent more time going through the online catalogues, without seeing the

printed materials in person at all. According to Christie’s New York’s Books and Manuscripts Department, part of the trend is that people are retreating into their books. However, the level of interest does depend on the quality of the material and the true rarity of the items. For example, a 15th century, 5-folio compilation of works by Aristotle was estimated from $200,000 to $300,000, and sold, with buyer’s premium, for $475,000 at Christie’s to an online bidder. This demonstrates the importance of a publication within its field as an additional factor that drives the price of old books. However, like all forms of collecting, passion is what counts. The markets rewards experienced collectors who blend literary knowledge and passion for culture. A good dealer who is affiliated with the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association (ABA) can help collectors understand the market and find books that they truly love and, possibly, gain financial reward over the long term. Renowned H. Bradley Martin’s private collection spanned 60 years of works across English, American and French literature - each enthusiastically assembled, lovingly read and treasured.

In property the idea of “location, location, location” is important, while “quality, quality, quality” is key in the rare book trade. Buyers should acquire only the best example that money can purchase, taking into consideration a number of additional factors such as rarity, author, subject, and above all, the significance and relevance that have made the literary work a celebration of our culture.

A book should not have a high number of comparables over time for it to be considered “top of the market” according to Bonham’s New York.

THE CASE FOR OCEAN PLASTIC The first luxury watch created from 100% ocean plastic, each Tom Ford 002 timepiece is made with 32 bottles of plastic waste. The case, produced entirely with ocean plastic, features a black DLC-plated back and crown which facilitates time adjustment and water resistance.

Made With 100% Ocean Plastic For Ecological Measures www.tomford.com

It’s about time to clean up the world’s oceans. Estimating just how much plastic is in the sea across the globe is not easy, but according to estimates, about 8 million tonnes of plastic reached the ocean in 2010 alone. The urgent need to do something about the problem can be seen in initiatives by some luxury brands, such as Tom Ford who has launched the 002 Ocean Plastic Watch. This piece has a 40mm-dia-

meter case made in 100% recycled ocean plastic, with a stainless steel caseback and crown, the latter with an inlay in ocean plastic. Water resistance is 10 atm. The strap is highly distinctive, in braid hand-crafted from ocean plastic, with stainless steel buckle. It neatly threads through the one- piece lugs continuous with the case, so that the soft braid makes the watch very comfortable to wear, and enables quick

and easy strap replacement should this ever be necessary. The amount of ocean plastic used to make each

watch is equivalent to 32 plastic water bottles. In addition to its environmentalist mission, the Tom Ford

Make An Eco-Friendly Splash The Tom Ford 002 Ocean Plastic watch has a 100-metre water resistance. Both the case and strap will not be damaged by rain and splashes, and the watch can even be worn during swimming.

002 Ocean Plastic watch has a distinctive design, with a black dial, white numerals coated in SuperLumiNova, and diamond-cut hands also coated with luminescent paint. The hour hand with its circular extremity neatly frames the numerals around the dial. The watch is powered by a Swiss-made quartz movement.

MONSIEUR DE C HANEL, C HRON OSPHERE CLOC K

STANDING ON THE SHOULDERS OF LIONS

Coco Chanel’s treasures in her private room at 31 Rue Cambon, Paris, included a pièce unique, a crystal ball resting on three lions, crafted by an artisanal jeweller. This object provided the inspiration for a new Chanel piece made in a limited edition of five units, a table clock that combines the spherical style of the original item with modern design of the rotating, circular scales showing hours and minutes.

Limited and numbered edition of 5 pieces. Lions in bronze with a black matte treatment PVD. Sphere in glass. Mechanical movement with manual winding. Movement designed by the Watchmaking Creative Studio of CHANEL, developed and manufactured by L’Épée. Hours, minutes on two rotating disks Power reserve: 7 days. Numbers of rubies: 19 Key: 1 Frequency: 18,000 vibrations / hour (2,5Hz) Black galvanic treatment (PVD on plates) and palladium finishing (on trains).

WWW.C HANEL.COM Sign of Leo, Coco Chanel regarded the lion as her protector. Throughout her life, she surrounded herself with objects depicting the feline. In 1920, she travelled to Venice after the loss of the love of her life, Boy Capel, and saw that the City of Doges was guarded by winged lions on the landing of the Piazza San Marco. The Lion of Saint Mark symbolises Saint Mark the Evangelist who is the patron of Venice. As Mademoiselle mourned and sought solace in Venice, she adopted the lion as a sign of identity and power. The Chronosphere Clock, a desk clock designed by Chanel but built and manufactured by L’Epee 1839 - best known for building MB&F sci-fiworthy clocks, was the biggest surprise from Chanel in recent years. The Chronos-

phere Clock, like the maison’s wristwatches, reflects a unique approach to create contemporary timepieces. When it was first released in 2016, the Monsieur timepiece had the distinction of being Chanel’s first dedicated men’s watch, which was designed and built from scratch in-house, complete with the maison’s first high-watchmaking movement, Calibre 1. In 2018, Monsieur de Chanel incorporated the lion motif into a limited-edition series that comprised two versions of the Monsieur watch; a pocket watch and a clock. The king of the jungle appeared in the form of a sculpture on the enamel dial of the timepieces, which were available in beige gold or white gold with 46 baguette-cut diamonds, and limited to 20 pieces each. The upper half of the globe

is made up of two drums that represent the hours and minutes, respectively. On the drum, numerals are in Chanel’s own modernist typeface, which has been influenced by the numbers typically seen on LCD displays in electronic watches and is also used in the Monsieur de Chanel watch. The movement’s plates are black PVD-coated, while the gear train is palladium-plated. Underneath the regular, a single wide barrel can be seen. The glass globe is held up by four lions, a nod to Coco Chanel’s zodiac sign of Leo, and is resolutely black, in keeping with Chanel’s house style. The Art Deco-inspired lions are sinuous and faceted, forged in solid bronze with a matte black finish. One can admire the handwound mechanical movement powering the clock,

and its a large balance wheel oscillating at a frequency of 2.5-Hertz, and the 19 rubies providing just a hint of colour in the overall austere design. The single-piece pocket watch, on the other hand, is equipped with Chanel’s latest Calibre 2.2 mechanical skeleton movement. It comes in a white gold case set with 57 baguette-cut diamonds, with the foppish lion – in 18K gold and a black HyCeram coating – occupying pride of place on the base of the stand. With this clock, Chanel bridges the gap between a historic emblem of its founder and the continuous need to innovate. And what better way to create such a unique timepiece than with L’Epée, Swiss hand-made clockmaker with over 175 years of experience? CEO Arnaud Nicolas expressed: “Working with Chanel was a

great journey! The team was amazing, from the design of the movement to how it’d sit inside the clock. We spoke about small details that were very important for the end result, balancing form and function. The idea was really to have something that’s in the DNA of Chanel, have a watch movement and have it translate into a clock. The challenge was the full development of the movement. When we came across something that was technically mandatory and indispensable, Chanel found a very nice way to incorporate it into the design. We do work with many different brands. L’Epee is one of the best known companies that produce clocks for itself and for third parties. Forty people on our team were involved, and it took two years to finish the five

clocks. It probably could have been done faster, but every single aspect had to be perfect. If we take enamel as an example, the colour has to be just right. Another example was the glass sphere. Even people from the field realised how difficult it was to produce. We went through 30 companies and finally one which manufactures glass for aerospace overcame the challenge. Also, the lions are not moulded, but made with 40 hours of CNC machining and milling techniques, then finished by hand by engravers, a process that required also almost 40 hours. We have expressed fun elements in our work with Chanel, Ulysse Nardin and other brands that we worked with. We are all kids in some way, and certain objects can take us back to our childhood.”

A TRIBUTE TO MILAN, A MESSAGE TO THE YOUNGER GENERATION ARMANI PRIVÉ SPRING 2021 COUTURE COLLECTION “Couture is rooted in fashion history. It represents the pinnacle of creativity and sartorial skill, but is a world available only to very few. Today, through the democracy of the Inter-

net, we are able to offer a front row seat to everyone,” stated Giorgio Armani who had chosen to dedicate the collection to his adoptive city, bringing Haute Couture back to Milan

after years of showing in Paris. The decision was born from the desire to highlight the uniqueness and excellence of Made in Italy, where Milan reprise its role of international prestige.

Every detail on the garments reveals the craftsmanship and execution of the Atelier’s petites mains, whose desire for perfection conveys the highest aesthetics and expression of fashion to the younger generation.

Giorgio Armani tells the story of his journey, sense of freedom and independence from fleeting trends in his

collections. And in this Privé collection was presented at Palazzo Orsini, the heart of his Milanese atelier where

clothes are conceived and take shape. The result from the desire for perfection conveys the aesthetics of haute couture to the younger generation. Balancing fluidity and proportions, opposites alternate and merge. Jackets are designed to skim the body, and embroidered slip dresses feature alongside flowing satin tunics and dresses covered with crystals. Pinstripe fabrics with a masculine texture and lamé with grey-gold highlights, satin and organza, tulle and washed silk, defined by flounces of midnight blue velvet, like an autumnal glow on summer nights. The palette ranges from magenta red and aqua green, Prussian blue and cobalt blue, to grey and greige. Micro-crystals and sequins shed light on craftsmanship and execution of these garments. Floral embroidery on tulle blurs the colours. Geometric necklines define the dresses. The show was streamed during the Paris Haute Couture calendar, and was also broadcast through the brand’s social media channels. Giorgio Armani thus continues his relationship with the general public, and above all, the younger generation.

AN INTUITIVE & IMMERSIVE FLIGHT EXPERIENCE Crafted upon field-proven engineering, state-of-the-art manufacturing and iconic British design, Hill Helicopters HX50 has been conceived as a best-of-breed personal helicopter. Every detail has been crafted to deliver a helicopter specifically focused on the needs of private owners. The result? A light aircraft that effortlessly carries five passengers and luggage in total comfort. Led by the vision of helicopter pioneer Jason Hill and researched and architected throughout the past 13 years, the HX50 is designed, developed and manufactured in the UK by a world-class team of engineers to deliver an exquisite flying and ownership experience. Instead of numerous gauges, buttons and controls, the digital cockpit provides a clean, simple and car-like environment that delivers an intuitive and immersive flying experience. Helicopter pilots around the world recognise that until now the quality of the user interfaces in their cars and on their smartphones has far exceeded the quality of those provided in their aircraft, which normally cost vastly more. Hill Helicopters have partnered with Rightware, global providers of the technology that underpins the digital dashboards, infotainment systems and broader user interfaces of many of the world’s biggest automotive brands. Working with them has allowed Hill to focus on developing the required helicopter pilot interface, while Rightware delivered their expertise and their Kanzi software tools to conceive

and implement the worl-dclass Hill Digital Cockpit System. The new GT50 is a 2-spool turboshaft engine, comprising a single stage centrifugal compressor with a pressure ratio of 8.0:1 at 49,000rpm, driven by a 2-stage axial turbine. The single-stage free power turbine operating at 36,000rpm includes a rear power take-off, simplifying the engine mechanical design, delivering output power through a high-speed reduction gearbox at 5,500rpm for the tail rotor, and a forward drive shaft located underneath the engine to provide drive to the main rotor gearbox. The engine has been configured to use proven industrial combustion technology, with three inward-firing external combustion cans providing low cost, low development risk, high efficiency, low emissions and excellent fuel flexibility. It delivers smooth power, a unique soundtrack and reliable operation at high power settings, while providing extended periods between overhauls. The GT50 is fully electronically controlled, providing trouble-free, rapid start-up and shutdown, tight RPM manage-

ment and optimal engine monitoring and control, through the use of the Hill FADEC system. Tightly integrated with the Hill Digital Cockpit and the HX50’s advanced flight controls, it offers simple engine and power management including full integration with Hill’s Haptic Power Management system that provides shaped force gradients and feedback through the collective as power limits are approached, allowing pilots to ‘feel’ power reserves and keep their eyes outside during critical phases of flight. On board, five sculpted wide seats give the pilot and each passenger great levels of comfort. The seats and cabin are crafted from two-tone Nappa leather, with French stitching, Alcantara trim and brushed metal. Holders and jacks for Bose ANR headsets are integrated into the seat headrests. Climate control and Bluetooth connectivity are also provided throughout the cabin. The glazed cabin roof and low window line create an unrivalled airy and open space, sublime comfort and peerless connection with the panoramic views to the outside.

In the Hill Digital Cockpit (HDC), the reimagined VFR flight instruments present the required information succinctly, leveraging the best elements of traditional gauges with the benefits of dynamic digital presentation along with multi-sensory stimuli. The pilot’s workload is reduced and can pay attention to changing conditions when necessary. The Hill Cloud and App services deliver the Hill Active Safety Management (HASM) system which provides licensing, pilot status and logs, cloud-based flight data and video recording system that delivers active pilot oversight, safety monitoring, mentoring and support.

All functions are controlled via the Integrated Pilot Interface (IPI). HDC provides a clean, simple and intuitive cockpit workflow, with the singlecontrol, integrated pilot interface (IPI). The IPI is located conveniently to hand, is easy to see and delivers streamlined control for every aircraft system. The centrally located iPad connects with the HDC allowing the planned route to be synchronised in real time from major navigation apps with the onboard GPS, autopilot and flight management system, making VFR navigation simpler than ever before.

HDC provides pilot support focused on typical VFR helicopter mission profiles with realistic expectations of pilot skill level and currency. Smart annunciations replace traditional warning lights, alerting the pilot to an issue that requires action while suggesting the appropriate measures. The system is also designed to communicate in an emotionally sensitive manner so as to avoid panic or overreaction. HDC monitors the aircraft and delivers only the information required by the pilot as it is needed, alerting pilots to changing or urgent conditions. Thus, primary flight information is far cleaner and simpler.

Rearward and downward facing camera views, wind awareness, synthetic vision wire and traffic alerting are provided in the first GA avionics suite designed specifically for VFR helicopter operations. HDC’s call card popups provide the pilot with all of the required situational information to make radio calls. In the haptic power manager, the system stiffens the collective resistance as power limits are approached and the broader system provides enhanced resistance and vibratory feedback to deliver envelope protection for vortex ring, VNE and rotor speed limits through the cyclic and collective controls.

ZERO-EMISSION CONCEPT AIRCRAFT www.airbus.com

A BLENDED-

WING BODY DESIGN CONCEPT

MERGES WITH THE MAIN BODY OF THE AIRCRAFT WITH A WIDE FUSELAGE

Airbus has revealed three concepts for the world’s first zero-emission commercial aircraft which could enter service by 2035. These concepts each represent a different approach to achieving zero-emission flight, exploring various technology pathways and aerodynamic configurations in order to support the company’s ambition of leading the way in the decarbonisation of the entire aviation industry. All of these concepts rely on hydrogen as a primary power source – an option which Airbus believes holds exceptional promise as a clean aviation fuel and is likely to be a solution for aerospace and many other industries to meet their climate-neutral targets. Airbus is currently a member of the Hydrogen Council to benefit from the huge cross-industry experience on hydrogen, and it is currently a member of the Hydrogen Council to benefit from the huge cross-industry experience on hydrogen. “This is a historic moment for the commercial aviation sector as a whole and we intend to play a leading role in the most important transition this industry has ever seen. The concepts we unveil today offer the world a glimpse of our ambition to drive a bold vision for the future of zero-emission flight,” said Guillaume Faury, Airbus CEO. “I strongly believe that the use of hydrogen – both in synthetic fuels and as a primary power source for commercial aircraft – has the potential to significantly reduce aviation’s climate impact.” The three concepts – all codenamed “ZEROe” – for a first climate neutral zero-emission commercial aircraft include: -A turbofan design (120-200 passengers) with a range of 2,000+ nautical miles, capable of operating transcontinentally and powered by a modified gas-turbine engine running on hydrogen, rather than jet fuel, through combustion. The liquid hydrogen will be stored and distributed via tanks located behind the rear pressure bulkhead. -A turboprop design (up to 100 passengers) using a turboprop engine instead of a turbofan and also powered by hydrogen combustion in modified gas-turbine engines, which would be capable of traveling more than 1,000 nautical miles, making it a perfect option for short-haul trips.

-A “blended-wing body” design (up to 200 passengers) concept in which the wings merge with the main body of the aircraft with a range similar to that of the turbofan concept. The exceptionally wide fuselage opens up multiple options for hydrogen storage and distribution, and for cabin layout.

Airbus has revealed three concepts for the world’s first zero-emission commercial aircraft which could enter service by 2035. These concepts each represent a different approach to achieving zero-emission flight. “These concepts will help us explore and mature the design and layout of the world’s first climate-neutral, zero-emission commercial aircraft, which we aim to put into service by 2035,” said Faury. “The transition to hydrogen, as the primary power source for these concept planes, will require decisive action

from the entire aviation ecosystem. Together with the support from government and industrial partners we can rise up to this challenge to scale-up renewable energy and hydrogen for the sustainable future of the aviation industry.” In order to tackle these challenges, airports will require significant hydrogen transport and refueling infrastructure to meet the needs of day-to-day operations. Support from governments will be key to meet these ambitious objectives with increased funding for research and technology, digitalisation, and mechanisms that encourage the use of sustainable fuels and the renewal of aircraft fleets to allow airlines to retire older, less environmentally-friendly aircraft earlier. Hydrogen is a high-potential technology with a specific energy-perunit mass that is three times higher than traditional jet fuel. If generated from renewable energy through electrolysis, it emits no CO2 emissions, thereby enabling renewable energy to potentially power large aircraft over long distances but without the undesirable by-product of CO2 emissions. Because hydrogen has a lower volumetric energy density, the visual appearance of future aircraft will likely change. This is to better accommodate hydrogen storage solutions that will be bulkier than existing jet fuel storage tanks.

The Salone del Mobile was founded in 1961 as a vehicle for promoting Italian furniture and furnishings exports and soon became the most keenly awaited event in the world of furniture. A showcase that has always mixed business with culture, shaping the history of design and furnishing yesterday, today and tomorrow. A global platform for truly top-notch products with the emphasis on innovation. The Salone del Mobile is split into three style categories: Classic, which draws on the values of tradition, craftsmanship and skill in the art of making furniture and objects in the classic style; Design, products that speak of functionality, innovation and boast a great sense of style and xLux, the section devoted to timeless luxury re-read in a contemporary key. A range of goods that combines quality and technology, shaped by the creativity of the leading sectoral companies, practised at developing their businesses by investing each year in innovative products and home furnishing solutions. The many exhibitors along with the thousands of products being unveiled for the first time confirm the Salone del Mobile’s enormous value as an international showcase for creativity and a forum for industry professionals, with more than 370,000 attendees on average, every year, from 188 different nations. Without forgetting, of course, the special side event in Milan that, every year, accompanies the Salone del Mobile which is signed by the most important international artists and designers. A project of extraordinary value, able to mix design, technology, and history. Launched in Milan in 1961 as a vehicle for promoting Italian exports of furnishing and accessories, the Salone del Mobile is the global benchmark event for the furnishing and design sector. The Salone is held in Milan in April every year, along with the biennial Euroluce exhibition in odd years and EuroCucina and the International Bathroom Exhibition in even years, and in tandem with the annual International Furnishing Accessories

Exhibition and Workplace3.0. These events are flanked by FTK (Technology For the Kitchen), EuroCucina’s collateral event and S.Project, the exhibition devoted to design products and decorative and technical furnishing solutions. Since 1998, the trade fair has been rounded off by SaloneSatellite, the launchpad for young designers and a point of reference for companies on the look out for new talent. Under the umbrella of the Salone del Mobile.Milano, these events cover a net area of almost 210,000 square metres overall at the Rho Fiera Milano fairgrounds, showcasing more than 2,300 of the most dynamic and creative companies on the global market each year. Over 370,000 professional visitors attend the fair each year, just under 70% of them from 188 other countries, along with more than 5,000 national and international journalists and around 27,500 members of the public at the weekend, making the Salone del Mobile.Milano the unmissable sectorwide appointment. Not to mention the collateral events that take place alongside it, invariably curated by leading international artists and designers, because the Salone is not just synonymous with business but also with culture. This is the Salone, now in its 60th edition: an international platform with the “privilege of actuality” that shines a light on the state of the art of design. Every year, for years. In 2005 The Saloni WorldWide Moscow trade fair was launched, held in October each year in the pavilions of the Crocus Expo exhibition centre featuring some 300 Italian and foreign companies. The event underwent a change of name in 2018, becoming the Salone del Mobile.Milano Moscow, underscoring its strong links with Milan and Italy’s deep-rooted commitment to internationalisation. The Salone del Mobile.Milano Shanghai was launched in 2016, and takes place in November each year at the Shanghai Exhibition Centre, where more than 120 Italian brands showcase stand-out cutting edge creative furnishing solutions of the very best manufacturing quality. 2018 was a year of change for the Salone del Mobile.Milano with the launch of the Manifesto, a declaration of intent geared to channelling the forces that work together in Milan into preserving the leadership role of both the trade fair and the city, putting up a common front within the global market to attract ideas, projects and resources. The document rests on ten keywords: emotion, business, quality, design, system, young people, communication, culture, Milan and ingenuity, underscoring the fact that the success of the Salone del Mobile. Milano resides in the tireless industrial network that underpins it, in the quality of designs that entail sustainability, excellence of form and content, the ability to work as a system and to train young people and, especially, to capitalise on the extraordinary integrated communication and cultural mechanism that has always characterised the city and its region.

President of the Salone del Mobile, Claudio Luti, had this to say: “Being able to hold the Salone this year is an absolute priority for all those of us whose lives revolve around design. We believe that moving the fair to September will leave enough time for the ongoing acute phase of the pandemic to subside and that this will provide a real chance to kickstart design at global level. We all need the Salone in Milan. Over the last few months, clients and designers from all over the world, and the press that follows us at international level, have been asking us constantly to confirm the dates for this edition. We’ll be there, and we’ll be even more attractive and more motivated, just as motivated as the companies working to design and manufacture the best possible products. After such a lengthy period of physical and social distancing in every sphere, we would like to be able to see the Salone as an opportunity for actual meeting and discussion, and a chance for us all to share our excitement with a city buzzing with new ideas”.

A FLAIR FOR BEAUTY www.visionnaire-home.com

Spotlighting a new installation at Supersalone in September 2021, Il Pavone is Visionnaire’s collaboration with artist and designer Marc Ange. Multiple encounters with peacocks during his travels to India fuelled his research on the animal, the only one possessing no natural weapon of defense for its survival. Ange’s interpretation of the peacock is a contemporary allegory and a message of hope that profound, different and inclusive beauty will save the world. “This collaboration presented the perfect opportunity to showcase a body of work that highlights the indispensable values Visionnaire is founded upon,” says Eleonore Cavalli, Artistic Director of Visionnaire. “Culture, Nature, Design, Object, Experience, Contamination, Uniqueness, Ingenuity, Luxury, Vision…these are the programmatic terms that represent our entrepreneurial spirit. Il Pavone, and its meticulously thought-out intricacies and innuendos, will encapsulate these principles, emphasising their true significance through a narrative and sensory experience.” The project, which runs along a wall of 24 metres, features two large green areas on the sides, from where visitors can view two LED screens. In the middle is the Pavone throne, realised with three different colours of the Ilario velvet, flanked by two Pavone chairs. The

“Il Pavone (The peacock) is my allegory to luxury. This majestic animal is never worried about survival: he doesn’t hide or defend himself, he doesn’t escape… His time and energy are used to display his beauty…” says Marc Ange.

display is complete with the Pavone applique, an LED fixture with 27 diffusers in backlit onyx, arranged like the peacock’s fan with a double row of chrome-plated supports and stems in polished brass. One of Visionnaire’s many sustainable initiatives, following its 2019 certifications FSC ® Forest Stewardship Council ® C147146 and PEFCTM Programme for Endorsement of Forest Certification, as well as the ISO 9001 certification since 2011, ensuring respect for qualitative standards of management within Italian know-how, Ilario is an innovative new material that will be part of the Re-Generation book, which, focusing on fabrics and leathers with low environmental impact, will be previewed during Design Week in September.

MARCEL WANDERS STUDIO RESTORES HUMANITY IN THE TECHNOCRATIC WORLD OF DESIGN TO BRING BACK “THE CONTEMPORARY RENAISSANCE OF HUMANISM”.

on holistic solutions rather than the technocratic. In this universe, the coldness of industrialism is replaced instead by the poetry, fantasy and romance of different ages, vividly brought to life in the contemporary moment. Marcel Wanders Studio is one of today’s leading designers who collaborates with Christofle to offer ambitious, contemporary pieces by its “Meilleurs Ouvriers de France” (Best Craftsmen in France). New pieces, re-editions and historic reproductions, custom orders and more are crafted at Christofle’s workshops in Yainville, France. The studio also realises residential, retail and architectural projects “To create destinations, we design interior spaces that offer a true connection to place. We allow local elements and local culture to influence the design, foster and build community for the future. We work from a new type of consciousness to bring craft to each project. This enables preferred imperfection, storytelling and the humanising and personalising of design concepts and processes. Our approach is to honour the past and inspire guests with a genuine connection to a place or time. Often with our interiors, we use biofilia design principles to make environments that are nature inspired and human focused. We redefine the language of an iconic shape or place to arrive in the contemporary moment. With every interior design, our purpose is to utilise space to promote the ways people want to live while making it a sensory experience that is imbued with a memorable sense of destination.” 1. Carpet Eden Queen, designed by Marcel Wanders, is inspired by the Dutch Masters of the Golden age and features floral composition.

1 Pierre Bergé commissioned Studio Peregalli to completely reimagine the upper level of his Paris duplex, set within an 18th-century building on the Left Bank. A shared love of literature, Bergé says, was part of what had attracted him to Roberto Peregalli, a philosophy scholar, and Laura Sartori Rimini. They covered the main salon’s walls with canvas painted in a trompe l’oeil that mimics silk damas, and surrounded the magnificent pieces with woodand-mirror wall panels trimmed with hand-painted paper borders set under glass. And in the library, existing bookshelves were faux-finished to look like mahogany and accented by gilded trim. With new fringed linen curtains and Bergé’s antiques thoughtfully arranged, the rooms now offer a blend of French and Italian styles with a hint of Russia. “There is something Chekhovian in them,” Peregalli notes. “It’s French taste as interpreted by foreigners, that’s for sure.” For his part, Bergé couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. “Roberto and Laura are more than decorators—they’re artists,” he reflects. And much of his love for the space, he says, comes from knowing that he has written his own chapter for a building already brimming with history.

YACHT

LÜRSSEN AND IMPERIAL, WITH FLYING COLOURS www.imperial-yachts.com/yachts/flying-fox Flying Fox, built by Lürssen and launched in 2019 to international acclaim, represents an important moment for its owner. His previous experience provided inspiration for designer Espen Øino to create this spectacular 136-metre vessel that reaches a height of 32 metres above sea level. “Conceiving a 136m yacht is not much different from conceiving a 70m yacht, it’s like designing anything. You have one goal and one goal only – to interpret a vision and satisfy the client.” The two engines provide a cruising speed of 17 knots and a maximum speed of 20 knots, notably high for a ship of this size, and a range of 6,500 nautical miles. Øino adds, “Many of our boats are usually very linear, but this owner was really into organic design, it was all about teamwork, and as the designers, we were simply holding the pen.” In Flying Fox, the entire stern area is dedicated to a bathing platform 22.5 metres across, and a 2-deck spa with a 400sqm interior space. At the centre of the spa is a giant pool whose water temperature can be adjusted from hot to virtually zero degrees in a matter of minutes, so that it can provide an icy plunge after a sauna. The first CryoSauna ever seen on a luxury yacht enables you to enter a chamber cooled to -60°C, followed by another at -110°C. Other equipment for sea games includes a kitesurf storeroom, and a dive store providing rebreathing system with oxygen and nitro, 3-seats decompression chamber, a team of professional dive masters and complete diving gear. The yacht has a hospital that also comprises a 3-seat decompression chamber should this be necessary. The selection of water toys and board comprises a beach landing craft, a Super Air Nautique Coastal, two custom tenders 12.5m and 11m in length, windsurfs, seabobs, flyboards, hoverboards, even a submarine, and the fuelling equipment needed to keep everything going. There is a beauty centre just forward of the stern section of the main deck, and a dry massage room. The corresponding wet massage room provides a different sort of experience that simulates the feel of being massaged on a warm water bed under a tropical rainstorm. The gym has all conceivable Technogym equipment, and there is an

open-air balcony specially for yoga. The visual focus of the stern watersports area is the aft deck pool, 12m in width, placed transversely, possible because in that section, the yacht has a 22.5m beam. There are 10 guest suites arranged forward of the gym, spa and pool area, all opening onto one of the long beam decks which can be used as wide balconies, separated by retractable panels. The interiors, created by designer Mark Berryman, are clean, east-meets-west style, with Japanese touches designed for visual discretion. The same approach is used in the master suite on the upper deck, which has a 48sqm bathroom. From the centrallypositioned oval bathtub, there are spectacular views out over the private deck that runs around the front of the suite. The decorations in the bathroom include an underwater theme created using mosaic techniques depicting coral and seaweed, a motif that also appears in other parts of the yacht’s interiors, and on the doors of guest suites, each of which is denoted by a different marine organism. The “The owner’s input within all aspects of the yacht’s design was clear, strong, and exacting... The strong partnership between [Lürssen and Imperial] will radically transform the superyacht industry in the years to come.” - Peter Lürssen main cabin of the owner’s suite has a floor area of 105sqm, comprising a sleeping area to port and a lounge area to starboard, complete with ethanol fireplace, in addition to separate dressing rooms. The glazing runs right around the master cabin, looking over the large spa pool on the private terrace in front. The dimensions and luxurious finish that can be observed in all parts of the yacht are awe-inspiring, but a particularly striking section is the double-height saloon on the starboard side, with central seating, oak panelling, and a fireplace that burns wood like a domestic hearth. The saloon, like other interiors on board, has a surprising amount of greenery, including two mature Ficus trees. An irrigation system keeps all planters appropriately watered, with the possibility of supplying different plants with correct amounts of wa-

ter and nutrients, and even the right frequencies of artificial light in interiors where this is necessary. A winter garden space has two large skylights that can be opened when weather permits. The dining area features a long table, and an aquarium at the centre. There is also an outdoor kitchen on the aft bridge deck, with show kitchens that cook with real fire, including a wok station, tandoori grill, rotisserie, pizza and churrasco ovens. Outdoor deck sectors are provided with triangular awnings that are simple and quick to install and remove as necessary, maximising ventilation. Other catering areas on board include an aft deck bar and an outdoor cinema.

“H” Marks The Spot The 18-metre diameter helipad on the aft sundeck can be used by large helicopters, and it doubles as a dancefloor, complete with power outlets for audio DJ equipment. Another 14-metre helipad is located near the bows. The six guest decks are served by a large oval staircase and a semi-transparent lift. In addition to the outdoor cinema area, there is an indoor cinema with D-box seats system and a super-powerful Dolby Atmos sound system, and appropriately efficient insulation to as not to disturb adjacent interiors.

Not surprisingly, the yacht is a very social location, but there is a more private outdoor space comprising the very top roof deck, much smaller, with fantastic views. The crew have their own large cabins, relaxation areas and an outdoor saloon. The members of the crew engaged in navigational functions are assisted by the technology in the wheelhouse, designed to handle just about any situation imaginable in the world’s oceans. Retractable screens can be used to separate the command area. Flying Fox is without doubt a unique experience, now available as the largest charter superyacht, through the Imperial company in Monaco.

THE WORLD’S LARGEST SLOOP FLIES THE FLAG www.royalhuisman.com

Apex 850 is an ambitious concept, developed by Royal Huisman and superyacht designer Malcolm McKeon. He says, “It will be the largest sloop in the world, with a 107-metre mast and minimalist superstructure. A lot of effort has been put into the sailing systems, and the boat will handle and feel like a much smaller boat. The helm stations are close to the water to give you that fantastic feeling of connection with the sea. The owner’s accommodation is at the aft of the vessel, an apartment on the water that opens out into a large bathing platform, and floor-toceiling glass to provide an amazing connection with the outside world.” The design of Apex 850 has been completed, and a prospective owner can contribute ideas, creativity and a personal vision. APEX 850 is resolved in terms of design, naval architecture and engineering. Technical challenges have been identified and addressed; potential for refinement explored and incorporated. Naval architect Malcolm McKeon comments: “The sailing experience of APEX 850 will be sensational, with speeds in excess of wind speed in most conditions. Her retractable keel, optimised weight distribution and limited heel angle will provide stability, comfort and safety for all on board. Her twin high aspect rudders will provide a rapid response to her fly by wire helm.” Royal Huisman CEO Jan Timmerman adds: “Two of the world’s 10 largest sailing yachts, ATHENA and SEA EAGLE II, are Royal Huisman builds and APEX 850 would make a fitting third, easily becoming the largest member of this elite circle. Every Royal Huisman yacht benefits from the research, innovations and challenges of our previous builds, ensuring this would be the finest yet.” The 85 m / 279 ft APEX features a107 m / 351 ft rig, qualifying as both the world’s largest sloop and the world’s largest aluminium sailing yacht. Inspirational design from Malcom

McKeon and Royal Huisman have resulted in a mega yacht that is bold and ambitious enough to redefine on-board lifestyle and sailing experiences. Just add the refinements that express the vision and creativity of an inspired owner and she will be ready to commence construction. The towering rig dominates everything in sight. At a distance, the long sleek hull with its reverse bow seems just an elegant wisp above the water. But as you approach, you see crew members against the 3.6 m / 12 ft topsides and appreciate the full scale, the presence and status of this vessel. Gliding towards the boarding platform you glance skywards again, at the 107 m / 351 ft air-draft rig. The powerful rondal rig features a carbon mast and furling boom with continuous carbon rigging. The power of the 3200 m2 upwind and 4700 m2 downwind sail

area is efficiently harnessed and managed by rondal’s integrated sailing system. There are no winches, furlers, mooring cleats, anchor gear or other deck equipment to be seen. The superstructure houses a pivotal social area, yet you would hardly know

tructure, radiant with suffused light. You follow steps down to the guest corridor and find the four magnificent 30 m2 / 320 ft2 guest suites that can accommodate up to 12 guests. The staterooms are highly adaptable, offering twin or double formats and

it was there. Continuous clear glass sides provide a see-through exterior and also act as a near-invisible structural component. Imagine stepping aboard and into a well-appointed lobby. Stairs upwards connect to the saloon and its all-glass supers-

Pullman berths for families. In the owner’s apartment, the full-beam bedroom is encompassed by a private lounge, giant TV screen, sauna, walkin wardrobe and spacious bathroom facilities. On opening doors aft, you find yourself in a private beach club / cine-

ma with floor-to-ceiling glass walls on either side connecting directly with the seascape. The owners’ beach club / cinema can also be accessed by guests from on deck. Fully aft, the transom and a section of deck swing out and over to reveal a 50 m2 / 540 ft2 swim platform, gym and social area with direct access from the owners’ beach club. Steps from the beach deck lead past seating on the stern quarters where guests can also relax – on both starboard and portside – in close connection with the sea - and then onto the main deck. Stepping down beneath the aft canopy of the superstructure, you enter the extensive main cockpit area, complete with loungers and an impressive alfresco dining space. Going forward, through full-beam access, the saloon is focused on tranquil and sheltered relaxation. To starboard, stairs provide a direct connection

to the guest accommodation and to port there is a navigation station. The entire 200 m2 / 2150 ft2 area is on a single level, enjoying dramatic 360 degree views and a stunning sense of connection with the sea. Sliding glass windows allow the cockpit to be totally enclosed from the weather while retaining that omnipresent view to the world outside. At anchor, even the double glass doors drop out of sight into hidden cassettes, allowing the superstructure to become the social hub for a vast party setting that spreads out over uninterrupted deck spaces running from stem to stern. Just ahead of the mast, the forward guest cockpit is strategically sited to focus on the spectacle provided by the horizon and the yacht’s fast motion towards it. Instead of focusing on the yacht itself, this intensifies the viewer’s response to the surrounding sea and landscape. A snug and secure gathering space, it is sheltered by a Moroccan tent when the yacht is at anchor. There is a 50 m2 / 540 ft2 full-beam midships lazarette housing a day head, a servery, storage for diving equipment and toys, and access to the boarding / swim platforms.

PORSCHE 917: A TRIBUTE TO 1970 LE MANS WINNER Porsche and Team Penske will join forces in motorsports starting 2023. Porsche designers and developers continue to gain inspiration from the 917, multiple race winner and keep reinterpreting the legendary racing car. As early as 1970, when the car was still being raced, Porsche was already working on a model for the automotive future.

Team Penske will work together with Porsche’s experts from Weissach to run factory entries in the FIA WEC World Endurance Championship (WEC) and the North American IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship (IWSC). Under the name Porsche Penske Motorsport, two of the spectacular LMDh prototypes will compete for overall victories in the top class of each of the two racing series. The contract between the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer and the US racing team, which was founded in 1966, will begin in 2023. The LMDh vehicles will represent the very best in endurance racing together with hypercars (LMH). The prototypes will also be entered by Porsche customer teams in both championships as early as 2023. The cars, which weigh approximately 1,000 kilograms and are based on an LMP2 chassis, are powered by a 500 kW (680 PS) hybrid drivetrain. “We are delighted that we were able to form this partnership with Team Penske,” says Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG. “For the first time in the history of Porsche Motorsport, our company will have a global team competing in the world’s two largest endurance series. To this end, we will be setting up team bases on both sides of the Atlantic. This will enable us to create the optimal structures we will need to take overall victories at Le Mans, Daytona and Sebring, for example.” “As of 2023, Porsche will compete in the major endu-

rance racing series. Our intention is to support and shape the new era with our LMDh prototypes,” says Michael Steiner, Board Member for Research and Development. “Not only will we be keeping our fingers crossed for the four factory cars we have in total, but also for our customer teams. The new LMDh vehicle will also be entered as a customer car in both series Porsche Motorsport and Team Penske have agreed to collaborate closely in fielding a new LMDh vehicle, commencing in 2023. as early as the 2023 season. These partner teams will be given our full support. Whatever insights we gain from our factory effort will also be shared with them.” Fritz Enzinger, Head of Porsche Motorsport emphasised: “Team Penske has made a name for itself with an almost unparalleled success story in motorsport. In the long list of victories to-date,

however, the name Le Mans has been missing. I hope that we will finally be able to chalk up this success as of 2023 with Porsche Penske Motorsport. This would then mark Porsche’s 20th overall victory at La Sarthe – a dream come true.” “This is a proud day for our entire Penske organisation. We have represented Porsche on the track or in our businesses for more than six decades. The heritage and success we have enjoyed together is unparalleled throughout our history,” says Roger Penske. “I can’t wait to get started as we build a global racing programme with Porsche that will compete for wins and championships well into the future.” Porsche won the 24 hours race of Le Mans for the first time in 1970 with a 917. Pictured here as a virtual sports car concept, the “Porsche 917 Living Legend” is a part of the Porsche Vision Gran Turismo project through which new design horizons are explored. Back in the 1970s, the US-based Penske Team achieved success with the Porsche 917 in the Can-Am series. Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG stated: “For the first time in the history of Porsche Motorsport, our company will have a global team competing in the world’s two largest endurance series.”

by A NEW RENAISSANCE: LEONARDO DA VINCI’S VINEYARD Milan, a city so connected to the Master Artist, rediscovers his legacy

The DNA of Leonardo Da Vinci’s Vineyard, which was given to him by Ludovico il Moro as a payment for “Signore di Milano”, the Last Supper, has been brought back to life by avant-garde science, and with it, the wine once created and enjoyed by Da Vinci himself: the “Malvasia di Milano”. This vineyard in the heart of Milan is a forgotten piece of history buried in the courtyard of the Casa degli Atellani, in the background of The Last Supper. Art and philosophy become metaphysics, and the past becomes the present, thanks to the power of biogenetics and Mother Nature. In March 2007, Professor Attilio Scienza, the world’s leading expert on the DNA of grapevines, carried out corings in the area where the vineyard was located, in search of fossil organic material which would provide clues as to which vine was cultivated by Da Vinci. The samples found became the subject of long, meticulous studies by the professor’s team and finally, after seven years, the University of Milan certified the fruit of their labour with absolute and scientific certainty: Leonardo Da Vinci indeed cultivated the aromatic Malvasia di Candia.

The Past Becomes The Present: The Most Unique Wine In The World BIOGENETICS SUCCESSFULLY REVIVED THE DNA OF THE WINE ONCE CREATED BY LEONARDO DA VINCI IN 1498 Once this data has been acquired, two parallel processes began: over 150 cuttings of Malvasia di Candia taken from the DNA rediscovered by scientists are grown at the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences; in the mean time a conservationist archaeological excavation took place at Casa degli Atellani in order to reveal the original walkways of the vineyard. The House had also been transformed into a museum home. On 15 April, 2015 - a significant date as it was Leonardo Da Vinci’s birthday, the last cuttings of Malvasia di

Candia completed the rows of the vineyard. The grape vinification project went according to 16th-century techniques so as to obtain the very same Malvasia that Da Vinci produced in his own lovely vineyard, as he himself noted. Under the high patronage of the Presidency of the Republic, the Lombardy Region and the Municipality of Milan, Leonardo Da Vinci’s Vineyard and the Atellani House Museum opened to the public on 1 May 2015 as the headquarters and symbol of government events during Expo 2015.

Made according to the drawing of Leonardo Da Vinci from the Windsor Code on folios 12690 and 12691, a very limited number of decanter bottles containing the original “Malvasia di Milano” are numbered and branded with the Vinciano Knot, and can be purchased through exclusive channels. It is a collector’s piece that pays tribute to the greatest genius in the history of mankind through a sensory experience of the most unique wine in the world.

EXHIBITIONS IN MILAN, 2021|MUSEUM PROGRAMMES

WHAT’S ON

THIS YEAR, MILAN’S WIDERANGING EXHIBITIONS FEATURE MICHELANGELO, A.I. ROBOTS AND RUSSIA. THE NEW 2021 SEASON IS PRESENTED BY THE COUNCILLOR FOR CULTURE FILIPPO DEL CORNO. “Milan wants to start again, and turn the attention of citizens back to what its museums have to offer,” stated Filippo Del Corno, Councillor for Culture of the Municipality of Milan, while inaugurating a new season of exhibitions and performances in the city. The most important reopening is the museums,

where numerous exhibitions have been postponed or rescheduled. Now with safety protocols in place, people can once again enjoy the experience of visiting of Milan’s noted venues in the “most normal way possible”.

MARIO SIRONI

Eighty paintings, sculptures, drawings and documentary materials spotlight the phenomenon of Realism in Europe and United States between 1920 and 1930. The innovative, rich and varied exhibition, “Magical Realiam”, has been curated by

Gabriella Belli and Valerio Terraroli at the Palazzo Reale. It focuses on the decade between the end of the First World War and the crisis of 1929, marked by progressive economic growth. During those tumultuous years, artists sought to reassure classical tradition and reject experimentalism. Artworks have been selected from both Old and New Worlds to demonstrate their attempt to represent subject matter in a truthful, natural light - part of the reason why realism is sometimes referred to as naturalism - without artificiality, while avoiding speculation, fiction or supernatural elements.

Mudec Until 7 November 2021

The retrospective exhibition dedicated to Mario Sironi (1885-1961) spotlights every period in his prolific career, just over 100 years after the first exhibition of Urban Landscapes at the Galleria Arte on Via Dante in 1920. The exhibited works range from his Symbolist period, influenced by William Morris, Aubrey Beardsley and Giovanni Segantini, to his relatively late adoption of Futurism; from the exploration of metaphysical painting, influenced by the works of Carlo Carrà and Giorgio De Chirico, and the classical era, through to the foundation of the Novecento movement. The exhibition also documents the commissions of several large-scale decorative works during the 1930s; and, after the Second World War, the return to smaller dimensions, which, late in his career, were followed by undermined, informal compositions.

Tina Modotti, Italian photographer, activist and actress, has left an indelible mark on the history of contemporary photography. Her famous shots make up the collections of the most important museums in the world and are the symbol of an emancipated and modern woman, whose oeuvre is inextricably linked to her social commitment. She expressed her idea of freedom through photography and civil commitment especially in Mexico, a country that she had welcomed and of which she became an icon. During her short life, together with her comrade Vittorio Vidali, she worked on the front line to bring relief to the civilian victims of conflicts such as the Spanish War. She would never return to her beloved homeland due to her anti-fascist activities and, following her untimely death at the age of 46, artists such as Picasso, Rafael Alberti and Pablo Neruda all paid tribute.

Prima, Donna. Margaret Bourke-White Palazzo Reale, Until 29 August 2021 also as a woman with a vision. She explored every aspect of photography: from the world of industry and corporate projects; and images for publications such as Fortune and Life; the visual chronicles of the Second World War, the portraits of Stalin, as well as Gandhi whom she first met

SUBMARINER

Civic Aquarium, Until 12 September 2021 The exhibition presents Vanni Cuoghi’s recent works, many of which unpublished, with inspirations from the seabed and the creatures that inhabit them, enhancing the history and heritage of the Milanese hydrobiological station. In his characteristic surreal, ironic and dreamlike style, Cuoghi uses the elements of the underwater world as a pretext to represent a dark landscape, or rather, the dark side of the landscape.

MAGICAL REALISM

FURLA SERIES #03, NAIRY BAGHRAMIAN GALLERIA D’ARTE MODERNA, UNTIL 26 SEPTEMBER 2021 Themed “Misfits” and curated by Bruna Roccasalva, Nairy Baghramian’s first solo exhibition in an Italian institution explores some of the pivotal themes of the artist’s research, from her interest in crossing and redefining the border between interior and exterior, to the relationship between the aesthetic object and its institutional context. Baghramian has been pushing the limits of sculptural language for two decades. She investigates the relationship between architecture, object and the human body, highlighting the physi-

cality and political potential of sculptural forms inextricably linked to the time, place and socio-political context in which they appear. For “Misfits”, she began with the specific setting of the GAM, a garden open to adults only when accompanied by children, and created a series of large-scale sculptures as a reflection on play as education while crossing the boundary between physical and conceptual spaces.

MAURIZIO CATTELAN, BREATH GHOSTS BLIND PIRELLI HANGAR BICOCCA, UNTIL 20 FEBRUARY 2022 Over the course of his 30-year artistic career, Maurizio Cattelan’s works are often considered provocative and irreverent, underlining the paradoxes of society while reflecting political and cultural scenarios with depth and insight. Making use of iconic images and a sharp visual language, his works often arouse heated debate, fostering a sense of collective participation. In conceiving works starting from images that draw on pivotal moments, historical events, figures or symbols of contemporary society - sometimes evoked even in its most disturbing or traumatic aspects - the artist invites the viewer to change perspectives and recognise reality’s complexity and ambiguity.

SINGING THE BODY ELECTRIC FOR 60 YEARS A ROLLS-ROYCE PHANTOM HAS CARRIED THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, OFTEN ON THE MOST MOMENTOUS OCCASIONS IN HISTORY. THIS EXTRAORDINARY LEGACY IS GIVEN NEW LIFE THROUGH THE INTRODUCTION OF THE FULLY-ELECTRIC ROLLS-ROYCE PHANTOM V BY LUNAZ. WELCOME TO THE FUTURE: NOW IS THE TIME TO DRIVE AND BE DRIVEN IN AN ENTIRELY USABLE, SUSTAINABLE AND RELIABLE EVOCATION OF ‘THE BEST CAR IN THE WORLD’. TO THE MOON AND BACK.

British engineering company Lunaz (named after founder David Lorenz’s daughter Luna) is taking classic, high-end luxury cars from the 1950s and 1960s and converting them into EVs. Basically, they source a limited number of the most celebrated classics in history - think 1961 eight-seat Rolls-Royce Phantom V, Rolls Royce Cloud and 1953 Jaguar XK120 – some of which are no longer functional, and ensure them new life and a future-proof existence using the medium of electricity. Vehicles are transformed in order to provide both high performance and stress-free driving experience, while at the same time preserving their original beauty; they are fully restored

to ensure that all the remaining mechanical components are in excellent working order and of the highest modern safety specifications, interior and exterior finish are of superior design and quality. Lorenz was struck with the idea of terraforming classics while waiting on the side of the road for a repair. “I wanted a car like a 1953 Jaguar to be my daily driver”. The process starts with a thorough inspection of the entire car, following by weighing each corner to assess the original’s car’s weight distribution (which will later feed into the chassis set-up). Then, the engine and drivetrain are ripped out. Lunaz then 3D scans the entire thing in order

to deploy the company’s “closely guarded” electric propulsion tech. The whole car is stripped, body defects mended by hand, and everything built back up again, including things like air conditioning, better heating systems, uprated brakes, suspension and steering.The electric powertrain is modular. This means Lunaz can actually produce highly limited production runs of the world’s most beautiful classic cars entirely in-house. The company’s HQ in Silverstone, England, places Lunaz perfectly to recruit from a world-class talent pool of designers, engineers, craftspeople and electric technology specialists: the team’s Technical Lead and Mana-

ging Director, Jon Hilton, is one of the most celebrated minds in powertrain engineering - he takes four decades of learnings in a career that has seen him win multiple Formula 1 World Championships and applies then to answering the questions of reliability, sustainability and usability for the world’s most celebrated classic cars. While it might be somewhat hard to imagine a Rolls or a Jaguar without a grunting, firey engine, it is just a matter of fact that the future is electric and that sustainability is a matter that can no longer be ignored. So why not step into

the future by making the best of classic design immortal? Lunaz makes iconic machines a relevant and usable proposition for the 21st century. A classic car by Lunaz is not just for this generation, it is to be driven and enjoyed for many more. Each classic by Lunaz represents an uncompromised expression of the original. Electrification answers the questions of usability, reliability and sustainability and empowers owners to enjoy their cars daily. Founder David Lorenz is truly passionate about his work, and this passion is clearly visible in both his statements

and his products. “We restore, enhance and create with knowledge that these cars have cultural value far beyond their function. The passion we have for these cars can be felt in every stitch, weld and line of code. No car in the world matches a Phantom for presence, style and significance. Through electrification we proudly further the legacy of the ‘best car in the world’, making Rolls-Royce ownership a relevant choice for a new generation.” Every car by Lunaz is equipped with the capability for both home charging and rapid charging.

The 1961 Rolls-Royce Phantom by Lunaz is built in eight-seat configuration with a front bench for three occupants, rear bench for a further three and two occasional seats. Occupants will benefit from Lunaz’s commitment to using only the very best materials.

THE POWER OF INDEPENDENCE The 120 kWh battery of the Rolls Royce Phantom V by Lunaz is the largest in the world. While the original vehicle is a Rolls Royce, this is not a collaboration with the brand. Lunaz independently works on cars that they acquire from the open market.

by CHEVALIERS DE LA TABLE RONDE, GOÛTONS VOIR SI LE VIN EST BON ENJOY EXCLUSIVE CASTLE LIFE AT THE CHATEAU DE TAILLY SET IN THE FRENCH REGION BURGUNDY, BEST KNOWN FOR ITS WINES

Owned by Christine Cabaret and fully renovated, the Chateau de Tailly is the perfect base from which to discover the charm of Burgundy. Ideal for family vacations and also for events. revedechateaux.com

Located in Meursault, in the French region of Burgundy the Chateau de Tailly is an ancestral residence dating back to the early years of the 18th century,with the construction of the Pavillon de Chasse (hunting lodge), followed by the construction of the chateau in the 19th century under the rule of Napoleon 3rd. The Chateau used to be property of the Champy family and its heirs, owners of the oldest wine estate in Bur-

gundy, today it lives again, to the great pleasure of lovers of old stones. A traditional and authentic family home nestling in a 15 acre park, it’s the perfect base from which to discover the charm of Burgundy, the wine route and the rich heritage of the region. The Chateau is available for bookings and exclusive use: the warm and welcoming dining room makes the ideal place for your special dinners, while two big, fully-equipped

kitchens are at your disposal, for preparing your meals or for private cooking classes. The bedrooms (one suite and three bedrooms) are all very spacious, individually decorated and each with adjoining bathrooms and views over the park. The onsite cottages, Pavillon de la Chasse and Les Aromes, can accommodate up to ten extra guests. In the surrounding park, magnificent trees over 100 years old grow in a chaotic fashion.

INSPIRATIONAL ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN

FROM INSTAGRAM ACCOUNTS TO OFF-GRID HOUSING CONCEPTS The world is in great need of beauty, inside and outside the home. From #cabinporn to the #tinyhousemovement, Instagram has become a place of cottages and green settings. Fashion editor Susan Kaufman - @skaufman4050 - started chronicling the areas around her two homes in New York City and Amagansett on Instagram, and in the process created a second career. Her real estate photography is not really about the architecture, more about the charm: “It has to have some charm to it, some details, some prettiness, some human side of New York and the Hamptons, a sort of old-world charm.” This shot of A House in Wainscott was taken in August, “just before Tropical Storm Isaias came roaring through the Hamptons and we lost all power” But it’s not just social media that has suddenly gone off-grid, a collection of innovative housing concepts has recently begun to grace the market. Mountain Refuge is a tiny-house designed by Italian architects Massimo Gnocchi and Paolo Danesi, acting as a contemporary interpretation of old traditional mountain refuges. The Refuge aims to finding balance between sustainability and design, the goal of the two founders being to be able to deliver it around the world at competitive prices.

WHERE THE SEA MEETS THE MOON-BLANCHED LAND A PROJECT CAREFULLY DESIGNED FOR FREEDOM OF BODY AND PEACE OF MIND, BY ATELIER MONOLIT

BEAUTY AS A BACKDROP

Above, A House in Wainscott by Susan Kaufman @skaufman4050. Below, the Mountain Refuge by Massimo Gnocchi and Paolo Danesi, info available at themountainrefuge.com

The Beach House, a residential housing concept, is the brainchild of design team Ioan Ralea-Toma and Vlad Andrei Popa from Atelier Monolit, a creative studio specialized in communicating architectural projects and ideas through carefully crafted imagery; their designs continually challenge the status-quo to capture the essence of the intended location or idea. The design concept behind the Beach House is one where absolute freedom of body and mind prevail. The minimalist structure with contemporary look features large floor-to-ceiling windows that convey a sense of unity with the surrounding landscape, whilst offering its residents spectacular views of the surrounding area. The futuristic architectural masterpiece, imagined for a beach location, is comprised of a square-shaped concrete pillar that rises piercing two levels of

horizontal plates. This inclined concrete pillar that extends vertically acts as a cantilever to the intersecting concrete and glass horizontal elements that make up the living areas that extends across two floors. The use of glass adds a sense of lightness that further balances the overall feel of the structure. The ground floor of the project contains the living area made up of living room, dining room, kitchen, storage area and bathroom. The upper floor houses the master bedroom, with an ensuite bathroom, that opens onto the large, panoramic roof terrace complete with a small swimming pool or jacuzzi. This terrace perfectly blends in with the background, blending with the location. The overall structure boasts clean linear elements that blend with the surrounding area creating a sense of openness and freedom.

Martin Scott Powell On a train where peerless luxury class is the standard, the exquisite Grand Suites command a sense of grandeur. Be swept up in a sense of unbridled indulgence, previously known only to travel royalty of the golden age. In honour of the train’s inaugural route through the heart of continental Europe, the Grand Suites embody the soul of the cities - Paris, Venice, Istanbul, Vienna, Prague and Budapest - exuding Art Deco inspirations while providing every modern comfort. “Inspired individuals would purchase their own carriage and task designers with transforming them into beautiful and opulent spaces that were uniquely theirs,” Pascal Deyrolle, general manager of the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, The Venice Simplon-OrientExpress train is scheduled to operate via different routes. Mid-morning, the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express train departs from Venice Santa Lucia station. Enjoy a 3-course lunch in one of the beautifully restored restaurant cars, and spend the afternoon relaxing in the comfort of your cabin gazing at the beautiful passing scenery. A selection of pastries are served in your cabin. A leisurely 4-course dinner is prepared and served on board by our skilled French chefs. After dinner you may want to visit the Bar Car before you retire to your cabin. The next morning, breakfast is served in your cabin by your steward at a time to suit you.

A steward in blue and gold livery waves with a whitegloved hand, welcome you on board. Settle in to your cabin, adorned with Art Deco details and French-polished cherry wood, and sit back as a grand voyage begins on board the historic carriages of the Venice Simplon-OrientExpress. Following years of careful restoration, the iconic midnight-blue cars rolled onto the rails in 1982, ready to escort guests in luxury on a classic journey between London and Venice. 2021 brings new Grand Tour routes crisscrossing through Europe. Embark on a voyage connecting some of the continent’s most vibrant cultural hubs.

In 1977 Belmond’s founder, James B Sherwood, purchased two vintage train carriages at a Monte Carlo auction. To re-create something this spectacular requires authenticity. As general manager of the Venice Simplon-OrientExpress Pascal Deyrolle says, “Silverware should be heavy, a door handle should be heavy, a crystal glass should be heavy... That’s the way luxury has always been.” And authenticity requires the very best craftspeople. Pascal, along with Chief Engineer Jean-Marie Moreau, sought out artisans at the top of their respective fields who shared a passion for the history of the train.

The Grand Suite Istanbul brims with bespoke details. like handcarved timber, embossed leather and embroidered fabrics. Each layer of wood is shaven to a thickness of between 0.6 and 0.9mm, cut using a specialised 1mm saw, carefully layered into position. Marquetry expert Philippe Allemand explains “Each 3cm of marquetry could contain between 8 and 10 individual elements. Therefore each large panel can contain several hundreds or thousands of pieces.” The level of artistry and finesse is well rewarded, however. His work is visible in almost all aspects of the Grand Suites, including the walls, cupboards, beds and doors.

explains the Grand Tour’s allure. “The Grand Suites are a reimagining of this tradition. We’re going back to our history to create something that feels revolutionary.” Cocooned in delicate silks and intricate woven fabrics, the Venetian Suite (top) evokes Italian design heritage at its finest. Stretch out in style amid delicate glass lamps and beautiful Baroque furniture, champagne in hand. Spacious ensuites and impeccable cabin service complete the experience, which includes double or twin configuration, free flowing champagne, private in-cabin dining, 24-hour butler service, spacious marble en-suites, plush lounging area, bathrobes, slippers, towels and more.

THE HIGH POINTS OF HOSPITALITY EXCELLENCE SPAN THE WORLD

10 9 6 8 1 3 7 4 12

THE WORLD’S LEADING HOSPITALITY BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT SCHOOLS

RISING STARS These top academic institutions can be considered as the Harvards of the hospitality sector, preparing students who wish to excel in the field and make a difference in this fastdeveloping field. With the top positions dominated by Swiss, American and British universities, these schools impart a unique skills set, with academic studies accompanied by work experience and internships that ensure that students know their chosen field from the inside-out, and also prepare the first career steps. Most students – over 90% – will have already received job offers when they graduate. A school with a Michelin star? Yes, if it’s a hospitality university. The schools preparing tomorrow’s top hospitality and leisure managers provide a wide range of strategic business skills that are essential for running an enterprise in today’s ultra-competitive market. Students at these

institutions study for degrees that are recognised all over the world, often with American NECHE accreditation and compliance with the Bologna requirements by means of the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). It is legitimate to ask about the criteria applied to this sort

of ranking. The British company Quacquarelli Symonds, specializing in the analysis of higher education institutes worldwide, compiles the QS World University Rankings by Subject, comparing the top universities in individual subject areas. The factors considered comprise academic reputation, with assessments provided by a global panel of experts, and, perhaps most significantly, employer reputation, in which employers in the field are asked to identify the institutions that they consider excellent for graduate recruitment. In addition, the universities’ research activities are assessed, considering the papers published and cited, but for a sector such as hospitality in which research paper publication rates are lower, these indicators have a lower weighting. As you can see from the table, Switzerland dominates the world of hotel schools,

with three of the top five places. The other places are taken by the United Kingdom, the United States, Hong Kong and the Netherlands, the latter country a new entrant in the 2019 rankings. EHL, École hôtelière de Lausanne, was founded in 1893 by Jacques Tschumi, making it the oldest and first hoteliery school in the world. Its number one QS ranking is confirmed by other studies, including the TNS Sofres designation as the best hospitality school with regard to graduate job placement. EHL, which is recognized as a Swiss University of Applied Science, prepares students for top management positions in hospitality, with a progression through practical courses that provide training on running hotel and restaurant operations, building management skills through internships, and nurturing leadership qualities and soft skills. The de-

gree programmes comprise a well-orchestrated blend of industry expertise, creativity and entrepreneurial spirit, which is why 96% of graduates find employment in their chosen field soon after graduating. Many EHL graduates are in senior management positions, and some go on to start their own businesses. One of the more unusual features of EHL is the dress code, based on the concept that “you have only one chance to make a good first impression.” Women are required to wear dark, tailored suits, with discreet jewellery, impeccable hair styling, no religious symbols, no piercings or visible tattoos. Likewise, for men, it’s dark, well-ironed suits, shirt and tie, no patterned socks. “Casual Friday” at EHL has been implemented to prepare students for their professional future, but at this institution, it is a very smart casual. The EHL has a training restaurant, Berceau des Sens, where hospitality management students learn the art of excellence in cuisine. Open to the public, the restaurant achieved its first Michelin star in 2019, confirmed in 2020. It has a 16/20 Gault&Millau rating. In second place in the world hospitality studies rankings, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) offers Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management degrees, with specializations in Gaming Management, Meetings and Events, PGA Golf Management, and Restaurant Management. In addition, students can progress to PhDs and Executive Masters. The curriculum of study includes an internship, and work experience in the hospitality industry, so that prospective employers know that graduates have a good unders-

tanding of day-to-day operations, in addition to strategic planning skills, and the ability to fit into many different roles. While at first sight an unusual specialization within the area of hospitality, PGA Golf Management reflects the needs created by the rapid growth of the professional golf industry, with courses supplied by the William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration. Studies include the PGA Playing Ability Test and 16 months of internship, and can culminate in membership of the PGA of America. Les Roches, in third place, is a hospitality school based at Crans Montana, founded in 1979. Its bachelor degree courses combine academic excellence delivered on campus with extensive real-world professional experience, with two semesters dedicated to internships. The course teaches students how a hospitality business works, comprising operational functions, marketing, sales, accounting, financial management, and soft skills essential for management leadership such as communications, problem-solving and talent management. The first internship delivers hands-on experience so that students understand the pace and pressures faced by hospitality staff in kitchens and in service. The internships are carefully secured to match the students’ ambitions, and often become the first step in a career. A student comments, “During my internship, my ex-manager said, ‘Jo, you are so qualified in terms of skill-sets and technical knowledge that you can take a permanent job right away’.” At Les Roches, 94% of career-seeking students have at least one job offer when they graduate.
