THE LUXURY NETWORK UAE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH JAEGER-LECOULTRE

Jabir by Marie Koo

explores one of the important and influential personalities of the history of science. The subject of this painting is Jabir ibn Hayyan , the author of a vast array of literature in the 8th century that examines alchemy, chemistry and magic. He is considered the father of Arab chemistry. This body of work is called The Jabirian Corpus. Among the writings are texts that explore Shi’ite religious philosophy which supposedly derived from his master the Shi’ite Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq. He is credited with the introduction of experimental methodology into alchemy and the invention of several chemical processes used in modern chemistry. Among the most important contributions present in the Arabic writings attributed to Jabir is the importance of practical knowledge acquired through experience and experimentation, i.e. the adoption of the experimental method in the Islamic world, much earlier than in Europe. He is regarded by many as the father of the developed field of pharmacy.

The visual reference for this painting is vintage magic posters and the soul of this significant artwork examines the mystical theories of alchemy and magic throughout history.

...emerges as an icon.

The difference is Gaggenau.

We have been perfecting one oven for 30 years. Our latest rendition accentuates its distinctive design: the door is now created from one imposing 90 cm wide sheet of 3 mm high-grade stainless steel. It represents one vast entrance to culinary potential.

This remodelled, hand-crafted work of art is the culmination of our finest principles, skills and ethos. We’ve christened it the EB 333 in recognition of our 333 years of working in metal. This has always been more than an oven; it is a promise to create masterpieces.
