Plus 8 Speedster

by Morgan Motor Company To celebrate 100 years of hand-building its iconic cars, British marque Morgan has released the Plus 8 Speedster. The nippy two-seater combines the stripped-back, retro look of the road-going race cars of yesteryear with the best of modern driving – it’s capable of 0-62mph in an impressive 4.2 seconds, and has a top speed of 148mph. The Speedster – available in 12 colors – features xenon headlights with washers, ambient interior lighting, and cruise control as standard, plus all the customization options you could wish for. As if all that weren’t reason enough to invest in one, just 60 will be built, making the Plus 8 Speedster a must for collectors. £69,995 ($119,062), www.morgan-motor.co.uk

THE DIGEST

P oster boys of punk In 1977 rockers The Clash visited the Irish city of Dublin to play two concerts – most likely for the Freshers’ Ball – at Trinity College. The gigs were significant because it was the first time an established punk act had played the city. Less significant, perhaps, were the posters advertising the event, admission to which was a modest £1.50 ($2.55). Fast-forward 37 years and The Clash are no more. One of those posters, on the other hand, is still very much with us and, in June this year, sold for an impressive £2,000 ($3,402) at a Christie’s Pop Culture auction in London – against a pre-sale estimate of £800-£1,200 ($1,361-$2,041). It would appear that punk’s not dead, just rather expensive.

H EART OF STONES Exhausted in her quest to find a ring she could wear night and day, Elizabeth Gage wandered into the Viking Room of the British Museum in London, where she saw a set of Roman gold rings. “It was like a lightbulb going on,” she says.

“I knew then it existed.” Months later and tired of trying to find a jeweler to make the ring of her dreams, Gage decided to learn to do it herself. That was in 1964. Today, Gage, a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths with a closet full of awards, is known globally for her unique jewelry.

Gage uses modern and ancient techniques, wire work, enameling, granulation, repoussé, and more to craft her pieces, fantastic fusions of precious gems and metals. She welcomes commissions, often from customers who want family jewels, medals, or stones made into a lasting memory of a loved one.

“They come to me with something that is personal and precious to them. We discuss it, then I paint a version of how I see my design,” says Gage, whose commissions begin at £1,900 ($3,232), though regularly command six figures.

So where does the inspiration for her pieces come from? “The stones tell me what to do,” she says simply. www.elizabeth-gage.com

Present imperfect

Self-confessed “hillbilly” Tyler Hays moved to New York from his native Oregon when he was 25 to be a painter and sculptor, but ended up working as a carpenter. Today, he produces exquisite handmade furniture and homewares that have won him many awards and an army of loyal clients. A fan of wabi-sabi – the Japanese belief that imperfection is beautiful – Hays describes his design process as “organic, we mess around a lot in the workshop.” The result of this mucking around might be a coffee table made from a slab of walnut wood inlaid with dainty bronze butterflies, a leather-clad sideboard, or an extremely limitededition hand-painted coffee mug, made using clay from the now-closed pit he discovered when excavating near his studio in Philadelphia. www.bddw.com

Telegraph design editor David Nicholls reports from 2014’s Salone del Mobile

Clockwise, from top: Cushions by Anglo-Danish design initiative Wrong for Hay; a chair featuring a brand-new material from Solidwool; Formafantasma’s Mount Etna-inspired Big Pillar table; Nika Zupanc’s Stardust sofa for Sé; a Philippe Starck chair, this year in gold, for Kartell.

You don’t go to the Milan Furniture Fair to find a comfy sofa for your sitting room. Rather, this annual event is a testing ground for innovation, a week-long affair where new ideas are presented by designers from around the world. It’s where “something in the air” turns into “this year’s biggest trend”.

This April it was impossible to avoid a sense of fun and play that stretched across the city, from the bright colors and bold textiles exhibited by Wrong for Hay to the circus-themed presentation by Maarten Baas, whose designs were presented on twirling carousels and included plus-size gumball machines made from cast bronze and crystal. It was as if an industry much-hit by the global recession had decided it was okay to smile again.

Tying in with this positive vibe was a renewed sense of glamour. At its most literal level this meant plenty of shimmering metallics, with notable pieces coming from the Italian plastics manufacturer Kartell and Britain’s Tom Dixon. Working for Sé, the Slovenian designer Nika Zupanc presented a 1950s-inspired collection with curvaceous, feminine forms that looked made for the dressing rooms of the Hollywood starlets of yore.

It was by no means the only evidence of the design world looking back in time for inspiration. The industry is currently enthralled by designs from the golden age of Modernism, with furniture from the 1920s to the 1960s being put back into production for an eager new audience. Among the brands dusting off archive designs were SCP, Artek, and Vitra.

It’s always interesting to see what materials designers are beginning to toy with. Over the past few years cork and marble have made their mark, but this year I was intrigued by the design studio Formafantasma, which was inspired by the 2013 eruption of Mount Etna in its native Sicily.

It unveiled De Natura Fossilium – items made from basalt, volcanic glass, lava rock, and obsidian.

Meanwhile, the UK’s Solidwool developed a new material made from wool combined with bio-resin and applied it to a handsome shell chair with turned ash legs. In both cases, the designers took materials of relatively humble provenance and broke new ground with it – exactly the sort of innovation for which the world descends upon Milan every year.

Island hopping

Amilla Fushi promises to shake up the Maldives resort scene when it opens for business in November. Brainchild of Tom McLoughlin, the hotelier behind Huvafen Fushi, it’s designed to appeal to families and groups of friends as much as honeymooning couples, and will have eight private residences available on 50-year leases, as well as beach, lagoon, and ocean reef houses and 39-foot-high tree houses. In a Maldives first, it will also have an “open island” policy, encouraging guests to try out restaurants elsewhere in the Baa Atoll. With top Australian chef Luke Mangan in charge of Amilla Fushi’s own culinary offering, though, guests might be quite content to stay put… www.amilla.mv

TAKE TO THE HILLS New Zealand’s ultra-luxe lodge scene continues to grow at a healthy rate.

Among the latest arrivals is the six-bedroom Lodge at The Hills, surrounded by snow-capped mountains just 20 minutes from the center of Queenstown.

Stunning inside and out, with huge glass windows connecting the two, the lodge is set on The Hills championship golf course (inspired by St Andrews and host to the New Zealand Open), where guests can enjoy unlimited golf during their stay. They’ll also have a private chef on hand to prepare Michelin-standard food, and access to a large private collection of early Maori and contemporary Asian and New Zealand art and sculptures. www.thehills.co.nz/lodge

THE Q & A

Collecting silver tableware

Richard Geoffroy Chef de Cave, Dom Pérignon

What should I look out for?

More usual patterns, such as Old English, Fiddle (and its variations), and Kings are good ones to choose as it will be easier to buy matching pieces. Avoid heavily worn items – short fork tines (prongs) with nicks to the sides, or worn, thin spoon bowls.

Prices start around £1,500 ($2,552) at auction for a service for 12 dating from the early 20th century.

Any other advice?

Store your silver in cutlery rolls impregnated with something to stop it tarnishing, but do use it. Silver conducts heat incredibly well so it warms to the temperature of the food and your mouth quickly, making it very pleasurable to eat with.

What kind of silver tableware is especially collectible and why?

Purist collectors prize rare patterns such as Coburg, Bacchanalian, and Stag Hunt. Early 18th-century services are rare and can command high prices; however, you don’t have to pay a fortune to get a very good service. Good-quality 19th- and early 20th-century sets are usually in good condition and are excellent value.

London-based silver expert Harry Williams-Bulkeley tells you what to look out for.

What is a Chef de Cave? I’ve been described as “the nose” of Dom Pérignon.

I am responsible for deciding when to declare a Dom Pérignon vintage.

You’ve just launched the second phase of your 1998 vintage, P2… Yes, you need to wait a long time for your second release, or “plenitude” as we call it.

P2 is intriguing. It’s edgy yet embracing, like Dom Pérignon in high definition.

How did you get to where you are today? I’m a physician by training. I’m from a family of Côte des Blancs winegrowers – seven generations – and when I was younger I was rebellious and ambitious. I broke away and studied medicine. But the magnet of the land started pulling so I went back to wine.

I worked in Napa Valley in California before returning to my champagne roots, joining Dom Pérignon in 1990.

Tell us about your love of travel… Traveling is about connecting with people.

I’ve recently been in Iceland, which fascinated me. The long winters, the loneliness… And I keep going back to Brazil, I just love it.

THE STORY BEHIND THE SALE

The right white When a young Johannes Vermeer dipped his brush in some white paint to apply to a canvas he was working on, he could never have conceived that one day, that white paint would elevate the work – depicting a saint squeezing the blood of a martyr from a sponge – from interesting to extraordinary. The attribution of Saint Praxedis to Vermeer has often been questioned, but thanks to ever-improving technology Christie’s was recently able to establish that not only is the lead white used in the oil paint consistent with Dutch painting (and incontrovertibly not Italian), its experts also discovered a precise match with another established early work by Vermeer – Diana and her Companions in the Mauritshuis, The Hague. The match even suggests that the exact same batch of paint was used for both paintings and that Saint Praxedis could be the Dutchman’s earliest surviving canvas. The work (one of just two Vermeers in private hands) was offered from The Barbara Piasecka Johnson Collection with the £6,242,500 ($10,618,493) proceeds going to benefit the Barbara Piasecka Johnson Foundation.

Once a grand botanical garden, the El Fureidis estate in Montecito, California, is today a unique property boasting 10 acres of exceptional grounds and architectural details inspired by its creators’ worldwide travels WORDS NICOL A V ENNING PHOTOGRAPHY ROGER DAVIE S

ON THE COVER

“The classic architectural styles of El Fureidis set it apart from other magnificent estates in Montecito.”

Zackary Wright

O

ne of the finest properties in California, El Fureidis is a grand, predominantly Roman-style villa sitting in 10 acres of lush, landscaped gardens in Montecito, with a history that makes it as fascinating as it is desirable. Rarely on the market, El Fureidis, built in 1906, was one of the first estates to be created in this premier residential community on the US West Coast. The distinctive country house, whose name translates as “tropical paradise”, has recently undergone a multimillion-dollar renovation.

“The classic architectural styles of El Fureidis, together with its idyllic grounds, set it apart from other magnificent estates in Montecito,” says Zackary Wright, Senior Vice President, Western Region at Christie’s International Real Estate.

The estate was founded by New York businessman James Waldron Gillespie, who moved to California for its Mediterranean-like climate. Gillespie’s inspiration for the home came from his travels around the world. He spent a year visiting the Mediterranean, Persia, and India with renowned architect Bertram Goodhue, who created the Los Angeles Central Library and New York’s Saint Thomas Church, among other

high-profile buildings. El Fureidis (originally called the James Waldron Gillespie Estate or Gillespie Palace) is now acknowledged as Goodhue’s outstanding Mediterranean Revival masterpiece.

A DECORATIVE VISION The villa is designed around a bright central atrium and reflects Gillespie’s love of architecture and art.

These passions are much in evidence in the formal dining room, which has a barreled ceiling painted in 24-karat gold leaf. The room also boasts a work of Alexander the Great conquering Persepolis signed by Henry Wadsworth Moore. Equally magnificent is an ornate Byzantine-style alcove – the “conversation room” – which is crowned with an 18-foot-high central dome and modeled after the basilica of Saint John Lateran in Rome. It is also decorated in 24-karat gold leaf with a hand-painted floral design in sumptuous gold and blue.

The gracious living room, the main space for entertaining, has a neo-classical-inspired paneled ceiling in pale blue with a gold motif and French doors that open out to a courtyard, creating a light and airy feel. “You can go outside from almost every room in the entire house and you can enjoy the breezes blowing » WWW.CHRISTIESREALESTATE.COM

“You can go outside from almost every room and enjoy the breezes blowing through.”

Emily Kellenberger through,” says Emily Kellenberger of Village Properties Realtors-Christie’s International Real Estate, who is marketing the property.

At the far end of the room, Roman-style pillars define the music area, which leads to the library and informal sitting room beyond. Above are three luxurious guest suites, complete with views of the gardens. On the first floor, the palatial master suite occupies a prime corner setting, with access to the gardens.

Crowning the residence, an expansive rooftop provides 360-degree views taking in the Pacific Ocean, Channel Islands, and Santa Barbara’s mountains. “The views of the mountains are very impressive. The skies turn purple, blue, and pink, depending on the lighting at different times of the day,” says Kellenberger.

TROPICAL DREAMS Before the property was built, the estate was a renowned botanical garden. Today the grounds boast several centuries-old trees including a towering Chilean wine palm and Montecito’s largest Moreton Bay fig tree.

The tropical gardens reveal a Persian influence, a result of Gillespie’s year-long tour, which is reflected in the many terraces with pools and fountains, as well as 24

feature water channels. “You can hear running water in multiple places in the garden,” says Kellenberger. One of the most tranquil features is a series of four turquoise pools set within a large terrace of herringbone brick on the southern elevation. A seasonal natural creek also borders the property.

Within the gardens are artworks by Gillespie’s close collaborator and celebrated sculptor Lee Lawrie – best known for his sculpture of Atlas at New York’s Rockefeller Center. Nine bas-reliefs depicting scenes from Arthurian legend feature on columns in the grounds. (See page 26 for more on these.)

The elegance and beauty of the estate has attracted many notable visitors. The gardens served as the wedding spot of Charlie Chaplin and Oona O’Neill, while Thomas Mann, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, and John F Kennedy have all been guests.

The home’s lasting fame was ensured when it appeared in the 1983 film Scarface. Tony Montana, the lead character played by Al Pacino, needed a home of taste and splendor, and the property obliged.

The El Fureidis estate is one of only three residences that Goodhue designed in Montecito and is a true piece of art – and cultural – history. »

The “conversation room� (opposite, left) is crowned with an 18-foot-high central dome, modeled after the church of Saint John Lateran in Rome. The neo-classical-inspired living room (opposite, right) features gold in its paneled ceiling, as does the unique barrel-ceilinged dining room (this page).

E XPERT INSIGHT

Greater than the sum Peter Kloman, American Paintings Specialist and Senior Vice President at Christie’s, on the Lee Lawrie bas-reliefs at El Fureidis From an art lover’s perspective, what sets the estate apart from other properties?

El Fureidis is extraordinarily well preserved and clearly demonstrates the unique relationship of patron (James Waldron Gillespie, 1865-1954), architect (Bertram Goodhue, 1869-1924), and artist (Lee Lawrie, 1877-1963). So often in these

grand homes, the sculptural elements appear to be after-thoughts. But here, one clearly sees the level of collaboration and detailed care that went into the creation and, fortunately, preservation of this magnificent estate and Lawrie’s sculptural reliefs, tile work, and murals.

What do the nine Lee Lawrie bas-reliefs depict and why are they significant?

Each relief depicts a different scene from the legend of King Arthur. What is remarkable is the breadth of style and technique Lawrie employed from panel to panel to capture this imagery, while maintaining an overall consistent narrative to the group. For example, while one relief might be very staid and stoic, such as the scene depicting Lancelot, Guinevere, and Arthur poised in classical attire, another panel, such as the one depicting Lancelot

defeating the dragon, has a dramatic flourish and sense of action. Lawrie commented that, “sculpture for buildings serves to accent the architecture, and sometimes also to characterize the building for which it is made…”

Which other artworks feature at El Fureidis?

he Saint-Tropez that I know isn’t all about mega yachts and sprays of champagne.

“My” Saint-Tropez is a place of local restaurants, artists, fishermen, bric-a-brac markets, secret cycle tracks, and amazing food producers. This is the Saint-Tropez I’ve been visiting my whole life, where there are still echoes of that old-world charm and the glamour of the 1950s. This is where my food journey began and where I was inspired to write a cookbook full of some of my favorite recipes.

Mine is the Saint-Tropez of eating crêpes at the Crêperie Grand Marnier, lobster lunches with my Polish grandmother at La Table du Mareyeur, and “beach pizza” on the rocks with friends. If you’d like to taste the very essence of the town – and the region – here are some places that I believe really showcase the best that the jewel in the Côte d’Azur’s crown has to offer.

In Saint-Tropez itself you’ll find many great local restaurants that have been there for years. My favorites are in the old town: La Pesquière, Le Mazagran, and La Ponche (all on Rue des Remparts). Madame Duckstein, the owner of La Ponche, says that Brigitte Bardot herself once called her 30

MARKET LEADERS When you wander around the town, there are many tasty treats to be had. Be sure to buy yourself a bar of Senequier’s delicious honey nougat (Quai Jean Jaurès), or grab a naughty bag of praline chocolate eggs from Delphine at La Pause Douceur (Rue Général Allard).

In Saint-Tropez you can also find some incredible fresh produce at the markets. On Quai Jean Jaurès – through the tunnel at the end – is the beautiful mosaic-tile-covered fish market. You can buy super-fresh local fish any day of the week. On Tuesday and Saturday head to the Saint-Tropez market in Place des Lices from 7am until 1pm, where you can find anything from creamy local cheese to homemade

BIOG

From ice cream to literary debut Nina Parker’s love affair with the South of France – and, indeed, her interest in food – began while she was still a toddler. “My earliest memory is playing on the beach there, making sandcastles, going to an ice cream parlor in Saint-Tropez, and spending my pocket money on crêpes, waffles, and ice cream,” she recalls. Since then, the 28 year old has honed her craft in the kitchens of Locanda Locatelli, The Ledbury, and L’Anima in London. For her first cookbook, Nina traveled around the South of France in a 1970s Citroën van, hunting down recipes and inspiration for what she hopes will be “an insider’s guide to the unique region I love.”

restaurant the most romantic place in the town. It’s certainly the perfect spot for enjoying some tasty Saint-Tropez dishes such as légumes farcis or even bouillabaisse. La Ponche is also a hotel with some charming rooms and beautiful views of rooftops and the bay.

lavender honey, and the most amazing colorful displays of fruit and vegetables.

There are also some brilliant antique stalls that make the market doubly worth a visit.

Another shopping must is the pop-up Chanel store on Avenue du Général Leclerc. It’s in town until early October selling clothes, accessories, watches, and makeup. After all the hustling and squeezing past the stalls of the market, have a café au lait in either Le Clemenceau on the corner of the square (Rue Georges Clemenceau) or Le Café (Traverse des Lices) – both are great people-watching locations.

After you’re full from the town’s tasty offerings, it’s time to hit the beach bars.

For something more secluded and relaxed head to Les Graniers (Chemin des Graniers), which you’ll find directly behind the town. Somewhere that has inspired my own cooking and style is Le Club 55 on the Pampelonne beach.

I love everything about this place, from the driftwood tables and light-blue tablecloths to the simple and elegant food served at lunch. The incredible panier des crudités with anchovy mayonnaise and homegrown organic vegetables is justly famous. Le Club 55 and its owner, Patrice de Colmont, continue to keep the true spirit of Saint-Tropez alive. Despite being well known today, it still embodies the same principles as when it started back in 1955: serving classic French dishes in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

and a wonderful food and wine trail.

The area is littered with vineyards.

My favorite wine is a rosé called Château de Pampelonne. It has a beautiful cloudy pink color and the owners of the vineyard – Edgar and his family – have been making it for years from their stunning secret château.

A little further down the road, towards Ramatuelle, there is an amazing but rather challenging cycle ride that takes you into Ramatuelle village.

After cycling you’ll no doubt have worked up quite an appetite, so stop off for a reviving snack (breakfast is especially good) at Café de L’Ormeau opposite the church on Place d’Ormeau.

The atmosphere is in keeping with that of old Saint-Tropez, and the owner promises she will never change it. I’d recommend buying croissants from the next-door bakery, too. Ramatuelle is a lovely place to escape the bustle of Saint-Tropez and it’s just 20 minutes away.

SAINT-TROPEZ more than 400 different types of homemade jam, including its SaintTropez flavor: raspberry with almond flakes. It’s places like these that have kept, and will keep, my family and me coming back year after year.

ROADS LESS TRAVELED The skies in Saint-Tropez are usually cloudless and blue, but if ever there is a dull day I love to head into Grimaud village and have a hot chocolate or one of the special tea infusions at Le Pâtissier du Château on Boulevard des Aliziers. Its cakes and pain au chocolat are mouth-watering! If you fancy heading out of town, though, I would suggest two places that I find laid-back and representative of the real SaintTropez. More importantly, they both produce absolutely delicious food.

A place where I enjoyed many of the first important food experiences that I shared with my grandmother is La Table du Mareyeur on Rue des Artisans, Port Grimaud. This wonderful familyrun business serves classic, fresh seafood. The ethos is high-quality food that is prepared simply, and I have been going there since I was born. I had my first oyster and mussels there and

perhaps even my first crème brûlée. My grandmother was a tough crowd and she loved the place, so it must be good!

For something other than seafood it has to be L’Auberge de la Mole (Place de l’Eglise), where you can enjoy a sensational seven-course extravaganza.

This is traditional Provençal food, from pâté in earthenware pots to omelettes with thyme and gruyère, and a fantastic-looking tarte aux pommes.

Its stunning copper-pot-filled kitchen and rustic setting again embody all the things I love about this part of France.

My list of recommendations could go on but hopefully I have given you a little taste of what’s on offer in “my” SaintTropez – somewhere truly special. The places and people I’ve mentioned have all inspired my work and style, and they continue to do so. I hope that after you visit you will feel the way I do about the place and know what French novelist Colette meant when she said: “No road goes through Saint-Tropez. Only one leads to it, and goes no further. If you want to leave, you will have to turn around. But will you ever want to?”

aving a perfume tailor-made for you in a world where certain fragrances are virtually ubiquitous is a true act of individualism – you are unique and no one else in the world will smell quite like you.

“A bespoke perfume is the ultimate luxury in perfumery,” says virtuoso perfumer Francis Kurkdjian. “It is like haute couture in fashion: a world where there is no limit in terms of creativity and exclusivity.”

Through history, a stream of notables and royals have anointed themselves with their own bespoke blend. Marie Antoinette famously had her perfumer, Jean-Louis Fargeon, concoct sublime olfactive harmonies for her, including a blend of carnation, hyacinth, violet, and musk jonquil especially for her kidskin gloves. British company Atkinsons made private-blend perfumes for Admiral Nelson, Prince Albert, and Queen Victoria (including the flowery

More recently, London-based Linda Pilkington of Ormonde Jayne has created scents for Anouska Hempel, Lady Bamford, and a Qatari princess. In California, natural perfumer Mandy Aftel has been commissioned to create scents for Rosanna Arquette, Leonard Cohen, and chef Alice Waters – as well as for a 2,000-year-old child mummy (in conjunction with the Stanford University Medical Center, the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum, and Silicon Graphics).

Blaise Mautin, a jet-setting “nose” with an international roster of high-net-worth clients and hotel groups, describes being asked by a billionaire to make a scent for his wife – also to be used in his helicopter and beach house. “I knew that my customer’s wife was crazy about amber scents and that his helicopter was named after her, so I thought it could be nice to create a scent that his »

The finished fragrance featured notes of rose petal, jasmine, vanilla, sandalwood, musk, and oak moss.

Another customer, this time from Russia, had him “design” a perfume for her wedding – “she gave a bottle to every guest” – and yet another multimillionaire customer had a perfume made especially for his sauna and hamman, for which Mautin used natural oils of eucalyptus, mint, peppermint, and geranium leaf.

So if you think the time is right to shun off-the-shelf scents and have one specially created for you, how do you decide who to commission? Selecting a bespoke perfumer, or nose, tends to be based on their existing portfolio of creations. Aftel, for example, tends to be the go-to name for anyone interested in all natural ingredients.

Finding your own “olfactory ghost” can take some time – a bespoke scent typically takes between six months and a year to create. Depending on who you commission, there will be between one and six meetings discussing your tastes and personality, and whittling down your likes and dislikes in the realm of odor. After each meeting the nose sends prototypes for you to try. Pilkington of Ormonde Jayne asks a detailed list of queries of her clients in the initial consultation: “I tend to ask questions like what is your favorite color? What is your favorite food – spicy, French, or light and healthy? Do you feel happier by the sea or in the mountains?

Oud wood conveys a sense of mystery and is a favorite of the Arab nations for its strength, smoky distinctiveness, and power.”

Oud looks like it is set to stay for some time yet, but there are also some lighter trends emerging. Rose, which had suffered a bad case of overkill in the toiletries market, made a comeback in 2012 and 2013, with many pretty and “noir” versions coming to market.

PERFUMERY had become rather “lowest common denominator” thanks to its prevalence in mass-market and celebrity scents.

Of course, in ordering a bespoke perfume you are getting the very antithesis of mass market. And the price reflects that.

A bespoke blend from Mautin can cost you up to €100,000 ($134,700). Cartier, with in-house nose Laurent, starts at €30,000 ($40,410). Ormonde Jayne costs from £8,000 ($13,608) but add body-care products and candles and the final sum could be closer to £35,000 ($59,535). “The cost of a bespoke scent starts at £12,000 ($20,412),” says Harris of Miller Harris.

“After the consultations your fragrance will be presented in a 100ml (3.4 fl oz) hand-engraved bottle. The formula is then kept in the lab, is only licensed to your name, and is protected. The fragrance can be converted into bath and body oil or candles, and can be replenished at a cost of £225 ($383).” As well as money, you’ll need patience to own a bespoke Miller Harris scent – there is currently a four-year waiting list.

Naturally, what you get for your money is so much more than a couple of covetable products; embarking on the quest for a bespoke perfume is about commissioning an indelible olfactive signature that heralds your arrival with a symphony of odor. In a world where most people have an interchangeable “wardrobe” of fragrance, opting for just one original blend is the ultimate style gesture.

ON THE SCENT

Blend vs bespoke I am sitting in a back room of British perfumer Floris’s elegant Jermyn Street store near London’s Piccadilly, surrounded by wood-paneled cases and history; Floris holds a Royal Warrant and also made scents for Winston Churchill and – in books at least – James Bond.

Penny Ellis, Floris’s eminently knowledgeable bespoke fragrance manager, is sitting behind a big old oak desk with a cluster of bottles before her. I am about to embark on the process known as customization. Floris has two levels of bespoke perfumery: customization and true bespoke. Customization (which costs £250 [$425]) is a similar process to bespoke but involves mixing blends and accords on the spot, so the client goes home with a perfume that same day – perfect if you’re just passing through the British capital.

The full bespoke process (which costs £4,500 [$7,655]) takes around six months and involves from three to six meetings with a Floris perfumer – either Ellis or the brand’s

bespoke perfumer, Sheila Foyle.

“I think when you come to Floris you know the brand stands for florals,” Ellis tells me. “We do a lot of florals.

But when you order bespoke, you get something completely individual and original.”

She starts off asking me what perfumes I like. The next thing we do is smell through the bases. When you’re going through the true bespoke process, the entire fourth session is devoted to constructing the base, which involves Ellis wafting various notes under your nose, you identifying what you like (and want in the perfume), and her going away and mixing it. “We listen very carefully and identify the notes our clients really love.”

Ellis then blends accordingly and after each session you are sent a batch of perfumes so that you can identify the ones you prefer and go on refining them until you reach “your” scent. My finished perfume smells sumptuously of roses, peach, vanilla, and amber, and is quite unlike anything else out there. BC

The brothers’ father, Euan, was a former RAF pilot and aeronautical engineer, with a business restoring vintage aircraft. The boys grew up surrounded by mechanical objects – not only old planes but also clocks and watches. Together, the three of them built, among other things, a yacht (on which they lived for six months) and a plane (which the brothers fly to this day).

Euan performed stunts in air shows.

“It takes your mind off everything else,” says aviator-turned-watchmaker Giles English dreamily. “It gives you a tremendous sense of freedom – yet it’s also a challenge. It’s relaxing, exhausting, and exhilarating, all at once.”

Flying has inspired Giles in other ways, too. In 2002 he and his brother Nick launched Bremont, a company specializing in high-spec mechanical pilot’s watches, bringing together two enthusiasms – aviation and horology – that they have shared since childhood.

“So we decided to follow our passion for watches. We’d gained a certain amount of confidence running Dad’s business and, well, really, mechanical watches are rather similar to vintage aircraft…”

WHAT’S IN A NAME? But what to call their new company?

They recalled an occasion in the late 1990s when they were flying across rural France in a 1930s biplane. Bad weather and engine trouble forced them to make an emergency landing.

The farmer in whose fields they came to rest offered to put them up for the night. And in a you-couldn’tmake-it-up twist of fate, it turned out that the farmer was a former pilot and keen amateur engineer whose farmhouse was filled with half-restored clocks and bits of machinery. The name of this kind, kindred spirit was Antoine Bremont.

The brothers’ first watches, however, didn’t make it off the runway until 2007.

The Bremont slogan is Tested Beyond Endurance. This doesn’t mean merely meeting the requirements of COSC certification, the Swiss industry standard. Bremont is, notably, the only brand to have subjected its watches to trial by ejector seat. (The experiment was conducted in cahoots with ejectorseat specialists Martin-Baker, one of several storied British firms with which Bremont has collaborated.)

Anyone can buy a Bremont MBII, but the MBI is only available to individuals who have exited an aircraft on a Martin-Baker ejector seat. This is a kind of exclusivity that is likely to appeal with serious G-force to a certain species of watch collector.

The Bremont aesthetic is that of the iconic pilot’s chronometer: easy to read, hard to break, not quite dressy, definitely not dive-y. “Nick and I do all the design. The pilot’s watch is a classic style, but we’re modernizing it, putting new technology in, adapting the case design,” Giles explains. Often these alterations will be made with a particular end user in mind. Some 20 per cent of Bremont watches are 42

“Britishness” ranks highly on Bremont’s list of brand values, and its chronometers, such as the ALT1-P Pilot (bottom), are manufactured at the company’s headquarters in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. The building was custom built for watch manufacturing.

made for the military. This, says Giles, is one of the brand’s most important USPs – along with its “Britishness” and the fact that “you get a lot of watch for your money.” Prices start at a relatively modest £2,600 ($4,423); limited editions run to 10 times that figure.

Bremont has a staff of 60 at its headquarters in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, producing a few thousand watches a year. Some components are sourced in Switzerland, but the rest are produced and assembled in the UK. “We’re not working to any forced program of growth to hit specific targets,” says Giles.

“We’d like to manufacture 100 per cent of our components here in the UK. Britain has an incredible watchmaking heritage. We want to show that we can compete globally, to raise the profile of British watchmaking higher still.

You’ve got to be ambitious in this game. It’s been an exciting journey for us, competing against the big boys.”

But the journey’s far from over; the chocks are only just away.

WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE Having started out in Roman times as a simple marble bowl to house the whiskery sea barbel, aquariums today (aquaria to the purists) have become the ultimate luxury statement, a living art form whose broad appeal can rival that of an Old Master or modern sculpture.

“You can have a room filled with amazing art, sculpture, and an aquarium, and everyone will go straight to the aquarium and say ‘Wow,’” says Bruce.

For a Monaco-based client, Aquarium Architecture replicated a Fijian coral reef in a 13-foot-long tank that contained a darting kaleidoscope of 150 fish, as well as shapely corals in 1,600 gallons of water. “For another client we created a Caribbean aquarium as a permanent reminder of his St Lucia holiday home,” says Horne, who cofounded the company that now has offices in the UK, the US, and Nigeria, as well as a client list that includes actress Gillian Anderson and former NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg.

The past five to 10 years have seen aquariums become a favorite among interior designers, too. “Aquariums bring a sense of relaxation and tranquility to a space; bringing part of nature into any space is both calming and healing,” says Jiin Kim-Inoue, head of design at international property firm Finchatton. “Aquariums can also bring movement and warmth to a color

scheme, and they work well as room dividers, visually linking two spaces.”

Interior designer Shalini Misra designed a seawater aquarium in the open-plan, lower-ground floor of a house in London. “The light, movement, and color make the room feel very joyous,” she says, “and the family has given names to many of the fish.”

Seawater aquariums are a significant investment, however. They not only cost many thousands of dollars to create, they also need weekly maintenance, which means running costs are equivalently high. At Aquarium Architecture, the average price of an aquarium is $60,000 for a 660-gallon tank, although the company has just drawn up designs for a $6 million aquarium that stretches over two floors and includes a slide so the client, a wealthy Nigerian, can whoosh through the tank. Such extravagant designs are not unusual;

nly found swimming deep in the reef waters around the South Pacific island of Rarotonga, the peppermint angelfish is considered the holy grail among aquarium aficionados – and comes with an appropriately rarefied price tag of $40,000. Its scarcity and natural shyness explain its exalted status, but it’s also rather lovely: a sunset-orange body crossed by vertical white stripes with pops of bright yellow around the eyes. There are just two in captivity – one in Japan, the other in London.

Roland Horne is the man who acquired the London fish, legally sourcing it for a client who collects rare breeds. “Collectors want fish that are super, super rare and are prepared to pay for them,” says Horne, who is creative director of upscale aquarium design firm Aquarium Architecture.

In Hong Kong, James Bruce of Red Fin has clients requesting rare clownfish such as the snowflake, Picasso, and lightning maroon variants – the latter of which cost a few thousand dollars each. “They have unusual white markings that are caused by an extremely rare birth defect,” says Bruce.

But acquiring a rare fish is only the beginning – keeping it alive in captivity can arguably be a greater challenge, especially in the case of the peppermint angelfish, which has an extremely high mortality rate when taken from its native habitat, often dying within a week. “It lives at 23°C (73.4°F) and most seawater aquariums are 25-26°C (77-78.8°F),” says Horne. “Before our fish went into the client’s aquarium, we acclimatized it by increasing the temperature in its temporary tank by 0.5°C (0.9°F) every three months until it was comfortable living at 25°C.”

Five amazing aquariums OCEAN KINGDOM, CHINA This newcomer on Hengqin Island near Macau is today the largest aquarium in the world and boasts 12.87 million gallons of water. Visitors view its residents through the world’s largest aquarium window (129 feet, 11.05 inches by 27 feet, 2.77 inches).

S.E.A. AQUARIUM, SINGAPORE Here, almost 12 million gallons of water provide a home to 100,000 marine animals of more than 800 species.

“Bringing part of nature into any space is both calming and healing.”

Jiin Kim-Inoue for the South China Morning Post newspaper, Red Fin created an aquarium concept in which a room is set within a 42,000-gallon tank containing 1,000 fish from more than 100 species, as well as a wide variety of corals, sea anemones, and urchins.

The design standard, however, is a deep, rectangular shape that fits seamlessly into its surrounds with all the filtration and temperature-control technology hidden. A typical 660-gallon reef aquarium will usually contain a hundred or so fish – a mix of large and small, including Disney “film stars” Nemo (clownfish) and Dory (blue regal tang) – as well as shrimp, hermit crabs, and corals. Key to a successful aquarium is ensuring the wildlife is happy enough to stay disease-free and thrive. “Our golden ratio is that from front to back a tank must be at least half the height,” says Horne. “Fish need space to live but also to swim from left to right.”

Tank size is also an issue for sharks, a popular request. “Sharks need to keep moving to survive, so you need an enormous tank,” says Bruce. “And it has to be a tank without corners, otherwise they would bump their noses and badly injure themselves,” adds Horne.

Although corals at their smallest are less than a quarter of an inch long, they are also tricky creatures to keep happy in an aquarium as they require highly specific living conditions, including constant water temperature and light, high calcium content, and just the right alkalinity levels.

THE LIGHT FANTASTIC Jellyfish, an increasingly popular choice, are different again. “A jellyfish aquarium is like having a living lava lamp,” laughs Bruce, who has many years’ experience looking after these marine animals. “Jellyfish don’t have a brain so just drift through the water, but they do look amazing, especially when lit up, so we build LED lights into our tanks.” Until recently, keeping jellyfish safely was almost impossible as they would get swept up into the filtration system, but new technology has been developed allowing water for filtration to be simultaneously drawn up while blowing the jellyfish away from danger.

At 10 gallons, a tank can house shrimp, mini corals, invertebrates, and even small fish. “Some tiny gobies and damselfish live on one coral head in the wild and have such a small territory that they may not even realize they’re out of the ocean,” he adds.

NATURAL SELECTION Freshwater aquariums with their lack of brightly colored fish and coral have long been seen as the dull relation, but the trend for hardscape aquariums is changing this. An aquarium in the minimalist tradition, the emphasis is on a sparser, sculptural design created with beautifully twisted woods, stones, and sand, as well as a select number of fish. “It’s all about balance and composition to create something sublime,” says Jeff Senske from Texas-based Aquarium Design Group, which champions freshwater aquariums. “There is a much wider palette of textures and tones, with many different varieties of driftwood, types of stone, and sand.”

A typical 500-gallon freshwater aquarium costs $10,000–$15,000 and maintenance is usually less complicated than for saltwater tanks, and therefore less costly too. Fish for freshwater aquariums tend to come from the 48

Popular varieties include discus, their bright colors akin to species found in the seawater tanks.

But you don’t need fish to have an eye-catching aquarium. Plant-only freshwater tanks, offering a vista of different shades of green, are increasingly in vogue. “With these tanks you can have as many as 50 different plant varieties,” says Senske.

Created by Japanese designer and aquarist Takashi Amano, Iwagumi focuses on the precise placement of stones to create energy, but also the meticulous construction of miniature landscapes that have amazing depth and resemble a land-based panorama.

PORTRAIT THE ARTIST

SVENJA DEININGER “My work can be like a sentence,” says Svenja Deininger. “It is about combining single paintings in a space like there are single words in a sentence, and finally a story.” Google the Viennese artist (born in 1974) and you’ll find key phrases such as “form and color”, “primary abstraction”, and “focus on materials”. Deininger talks of “working in layers… repainting and uncovering,” and often begins a painting with several different base coats, building strata of semi-translucent whites and subtle grays, blues, and greens.

At first her works may appear simple, but linger before one and light-dark transitions and surprising depth of space emerge.

“I want the viewer to fall in love with a work, for it to catch their attention, and ideally to think about it again later.”
