A Message From The Editor

Dear Valued Readers, A year ago, I wrote that 2020 had been insane. If 2020 was insane, how can I possibly describe 2021? What almost killed us at the beginning of 2020 made us infinitely stronger in 2021. We continued to reinvent ourselves, our ecosystem, the company itself, our key clients, members, and franchisees. Thankfully, our team kept the creativity and agility going, along with an enormous amount of energy. Hence, one of the best years ever at TLN: signing and opening four new locations in India, South Africa, Egypt, and Jordan. Bottom line, in 2021, we delivered 65 events globally through our offices -which signed nearly 100 new members and sponsors. My most heartfelt thanks go to our clients, members, partners, suppliers, supporters, the team, to all of you, our friends. You made me so happy and so proud. With Mohamed Hadid on the cover of our first 2022 magazine issue and more upcoming new masters to surprise you at The Luxury Network Academy, we’re ready to rock, 2022! From TLN family to yours: A very happy new year and may you be able to gather together in good health and in good spirits. I send you all nothing but the very best wishes, also in the name of my colleagues and every employee of TLN International. Happy Holidays! Sincerely,

Fares Ghattas Global CEO, The Luxury Network International

Directed by young British director and fashion photographer Charlotte Wales, known for her fresh, considerate, and light-hearted approach, this film reflects what is important to Cartier: the belief that each person’s singularity is enriched by others, and that these connections reinforce our talents. It is an unreserved statement of appreciation for the arts and for culture from a Maison that knows we must think outside the box, push boundaries and overcome barriers, and anything else that holds back our lives or our desire to free our hearts. LOVE IS ALL is also a significant song choice, a pop melody composed in the 70s by Roger Glover and Ronnie James Dio. “Everybody’s got to live together”: Cartier’s film shares the universal message behind these warm and joyful lyrics as we celebrate the festive season, the most important time for coming together and celebrating family. 11

BULGARI AND MB&F WORLDS COLLIDE ON BEJEWELLED LEGACY MACHINE

What do you get if you cross MB&F’s modern and radical mechanical watchmaking with Bulgari’s history of fine jewellery built on Italian romanticism? The answer, unveiled today at Dubai Watch Week, is MB&F’s Legacy Machine FlyingT Allegra. The 39mm across by 20mm high watch is a treat for all the senses. It is built around the 100 hour power reserve MB&F’s LM FlyingT movement, with its flying tourbillon projecting out of its dial-plate, but the look and finish of the watch are all Bulgari. The diamond-adorned case of this 20-piece limited edition (price on application) is entirely redesigned by Bulgari.

Half are made in pink 18ct gold, the other half in white gold. Bulgari’s gemsetting skills are deployed to counterbalance the cold

precision and micro-mechanical complexity of the watch using tourmaline, tsavorite, diamonds, rubellite, amethyst, tanzanite and topaz.

The main dial and smaller sub dial that displays hours and minutes, are entirely paved with snow-set diamonds. By Rob Corder

UNICO 2 The Unico 2 caliber was designed to equip smaller chronographs and also open the world of Hublot to new enthusiasts. It retains the unique design of its former version with a double coupling system visible from the dial side as well as a 72-hour power reserve. But thanks to various technical optimizations, including the introduction of a new, flatter automatic winding system, it has been reduced by 1.3 mm in thickness. 14

TITANIUM Titanium is extensively used by Hublot, specifically for its lightness. It displays the best relationship between resistance and weight of any material, which makes it an extremely popular material especially within aeronautics. It also stands out with its resistance to corrosion and its inertia in contact with the skin. Hublot only uses high quality, grade 5 titanium, the strongest there is. Once polished, this material retains a slightly bluish metallic sheen.

FERRARI ROMA: LA NUOVA DOLCE VITA

THE PRANCING HORSE’S NEW V8 2+ COUPÉ IS THE PERFECT MARRIAGE OF HARMONIOUS FORMS, TIMELESS ELEGANCE AND LEADING TECHNOLOGY

he new Ferrari Roma is the latest coupé from Maranello, featuring timeless and sublimely refined design and all the power and agility required to guarantee a unique driving experience. Its signature Italian styling is a contemporary reinterpretation of the carefree lifestyle of 1950s and ‘60s Rome, from which it takes its evocative name, Roma. Stylistically, the Ferrari Roma is characterised by clean and symbiotic forms. Its beautifully harmonious proportions and elegantly pure, balanced volumes are very much in line with the Ferrari mid-frontengined grand touring tradition of which the 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso and 250 GT 2+2 are the most iconic 20

examples, and from which the car takes its inspiration. It embodies an extremely modern design language which underlines its authentic, refined styling. At the same time, its sleek lines retain the sporty vocation shared by all Ferraris. To guarantee best-in-class performance whilst still retaining the stylistic purity of its bloodline, Ferrari’s engineers developed several leading-edge technologies, most notably a mobile rear spoiler integrated into the rear screen designed to retain the car’s formal elegance when retracted and guarantee the downforce essential for the Ferrari Roma’s extraordinary performance by automatically deploying at high speeds.

The Prancing Horse’s new 2+ coupé sports a V8 turbo engine that punches out 620 cv at 7,500 rpm, making it the most powerful in its segment. A member of the V8 family that has won the International Engine of the Year four years in a row, it features Variable Boost Management for instantaneous throttle response. With the adoption of Gasoline Particulate Filters, meticulous attention was also focused on the sound of the exhaust system which has been completely redesigned, removing the silencers and introducing new bypass valves. The car’s new 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox is more compact and 6 kg lighter than its 7-speed predecessor. As well as reducing fuel con-

Need for Speed sumption and emissions, shifts are faster and smoother which makes the car even more responsive on the open road, but also especially comfortable in town and during stop & start driving situations. The Ferrari Roma’s chassis benefits from the modular technology developed by Ferrari for its new generation models. Both bodyshell and chassis have been redesigned to incorporate the latest weight reduction and advanced production technologies. In fact, 70% of its components are entirely new. The mid-front-engined 2+ Ferrari Roma has the best weight/power ratio in its segment (2.37 kg/cv) which enhances handling dynamics and responsiveness. The Ferrari Roma features Ferrari’s cutting-edge vehicle dynamics systems, the most notable example being the Side Slip Control 6.0 (a first on a Ferrari GT car) with 5-position Manettino and Ferrari Dynamic Enhancer which controls yaw angle by hydraulically adjusting brake pressure at the callipers. The approach taken by the Ferrari Styling Centre for the Roma’s exterior centres around clean design and absolute symbiosis between its various elements with harmonious proportions and pure, elegant volumes. The car is clothed in long, ultra-sleek lines that sweep back from the front bonnet, highlighting the spare silhouette of the flanks and the compact, set-back fastback cabin volume. To underscore that formal minimalism, all superfluous detailing has been removed: for example, radiator cooling is guaranteed by a monolithic surface that is perforated only where necessary, creating a new radiator grille concept. The full-LED adaptive headlights are traversed by a horizontal light strip that hints at the structure beneath the car’s skin, bring-

ing a sense of tension to the entire circumference of the car. The wraparound rear screen incorporates an active aero device to preserve that signature purity of form, while the twin taillight assembly is set like a gem into the volume. For the Ferrari Roma’s cabin, the Ferrari Styling Centre designers developed a new formal approach that involved the creation of two separate cells, one each for driver and passenger, in an evolution of the dual cockpit concept that embraces the entire cabin rather than just the dashboard as was previously the case. The crafting of the interior took its lead from the complete redesign of the HMI. This resulted in a major leap forward, starting with the new steering wheel de-

signed using the “Eyes on the road, hands on the wheel” philosophy with all the car’s main commands actioned by haptic controls, ensuring the driver doesn’t have to move their hands from the wheel. The 16” digital instrument cluster provides all the necessary information, while the central display with an 8.4” vertical screen and a new passenger display are exceptionally intuitive and user-friendly. The new Ferrari key with “Comfort Access” function allows the driver to open the car by touching a button next to the new flush handle in the door. Lastly, the Matrix LED headlights and optional Ferrari advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), including adaptive Cruise Control, make day-to-day and longer journeys a very relaxing experience.

MOHAMED HADID Offering la crème de la crème, one business at a time.

ohamed Anwar Hadid is a Jordanian American with Palestinian roots luxury real-estate developer. Born in Nazareth, the successful businessman and proud father of supermodels Bella, Anwar and Gigi Hadid is nowadays keeping himself busy with arts, projects, and new launches.

perseverance and risk-taking overcame them all.

Property developer, public figure, Harvard speaker and serial entrepreneur, Mohamed Hadid exclusively tells The Luxury Network magazine about his journey to success, the impact of his Arab roots in his life, and his new business ventures – the crossover between wine and caviar combined with an earthy dose of art.

Education is everything and compliments what I had being taught from my family, as a child. Lessons about values that I taught my children too, helping them become the role models they are. My father was well educated, that is why he always felt that education sets you free.

You have stressed on the importance of education as part of your journey to success, tell us a bit more about the impact of education on you?

How would you describe your journey, as a real estate developer, to the top?

What is the secret behind your success from a very early stage of your life despite being a refugee?

It has been exciting, breath-taking, and dramatic at times. You know, I had to fight on a daily basis to get to the top. The obstacles were a lot more for a refugee like me but

Hard work, spotting opportunities and never giving up on my dreams, never. I don’t let an opportunity pass by. I truly believe that there is no such thing as failure.

Mohamad Hadid with his daughters Gigi and Bella Hadid What are you the proudest of, businesswise? My whole career. It wasn’t easy but here I am. They tried to get it away from me many times, but it was not something that they could finally do. It wasn’t their success to claim it, it wasn’t their hard work. No one can’t take my career, my business accomplishment from me. What motivated you to foray into varied ventures such as Hadid caviar or Hadid Wine? Tell us how these projects came to life? Caviar has been part of my daily diet. I started Hadid Caviar back in 2020 as I wanted to educate people of how fresh, high-quality caviar tastes like. Hadid Wine started back in 2018 and recently undergone a rebranding offering a premium selection of wines from Bordeaux and St. Emilion in France. As we say it’s “where wine and art collide” because each bottle of vintage features one of my paintings and it will be available in early 2022 with a wider range of wines including rosé and white. 28

You mentioned that one of your strengths is the ability to choose the right partner for a project to be successful – what do you look for or pay attention to exactly during this process? It’s in the eyes, the morals, the character, and the passion that someone shows for the project. Edward (Edward Grant, his partner for HADID Caviar) ticks all boxes, his passion for these brands is moving them ahead in every step of the way. I trust his decisions and way of thinking. He is the only one that could do what he did during the pandemic. From all your projects and/ or designs, which one(s) is your favourite and why? All my projects have been made with love and in a different time of my life, all are unique. I never looked at my projects as ‘making money.’ It’s the pleasure of doing them that matters. It gives me satisfaction to work on something that people will enjoy.

What impact your family and your Arab roots has left on you? Our folklore, our heritage, our culture it’s our guidance. My great great grandfather, Daher Al Omer Zaidany, was the first Arab ruler of Nazareth. He was the first ruler who gave the Jews a handwritten mandate to live in peace. My father embedded his legacy in us, as well as the importance of education and religion. The essence of religion is to be good to people and to give back. Being kind to all, hardworking, and helpful to those in need is something that I learnt from a very young age in my family. These lessons were learnt under very difficult circumstances as even when I was a month old, me and my family had to fled to Damascus. These were difficult years. My father was working five jobs at the time for us. He was trying his best to provide us a better life. Every member of your family is successful in their own way; how do you explain that? It’s in the genes ha ha. I raised my

Photographer: Jack Guy five children (Alana, Marielle, Gigi, Bella, and Anwar) to decide on their own paths and they have strong, modern, kind personalities which I am most proud of. They are all stars, shinning on their own path. 29

As a father, can you tell us which quality (-ies) do you admire the most in your children? Being successful is what most parents wish for their children but for me the most important of all is that they have all achieved to be role models for millions of people, public-spirited protecting and helping anyone in need without fear. They are all so kind, generous, and big-hearted. You arts, does your

are passionate about painting notably, how that influence you in daily life?

One of my first ever ambitions was to be an artist. Even though I decided to study engineering instead, art has always been a big part of my life. Painting relaxes me, it helps me express my feelings in a creative way. You have always been very vocal about your love for Palestine - how else do you celebrate your Arab heritage? As you know I was a refugee from Palestine that travelled the world,

met amazing people and cultures through the years. One of the ways celebrating my Arab heritage around the world is through cooking traditional Palestinian dishes and enjoying them together with family and friends. As a child, I remember, our house was always open for friends and that’s a characteristic of our culture. I am proud to be Palestinian because we are a rare breed. What is coming up next for the unstoppable Mohamed Hadid? I recently decided to be involved with caviar starting HADID Caviar. There is a big percentage of people who when they think about caviar, they automatically have in mind a salty and fishy delicacy. I want to try and change that. Caviar is buttery, has a nutty flavour, caviar eaters need to be educated about it. It’s healthy, it’s good for your body and mind. Offering to the world the highest quality of caviar, produced under strict procedures and with a ton of certifications is my new project together with HADID Wine and a caviar bar concept is on the pipeline.

MASTERING LEADERSHIP AND SUCCESS WITH EDWARD GANT

dward Gant is currently the CEO of HADID Caviar and HADID Wine. He owns these celebrity brands with his trusted friend, the prominent American visionary, Mohamed Anwar Hadid. Edward is a well-educated, innovative entrepreneur with an optimistic approach to life. He is a successful business industrialist who pours his whole heart into each project he works on. He is passionate and has contributed various efforts which helped numerous sectors advance forward immensely.

HADID Caviar launched in 2020. Within the first few months of its launching, it has become very successful, being purchased in the iconic London-based Harrods Luxury Department Store and in hotels and restaurants like Atelier Robuchon, Jumeirah Hotels, La Cantine Group, La Petite Maison, La Guerité, Medusa, and GAIA. The affluent brand has been promoted by Hollywood celebrities such as Dua Lipa, Martha Stewart, Kris Jenner, and John Stamos. HADID Caviar expanded persistently, and in order to pay it forward, the company donates 5% of its net profits to amfAR, an international nonprofit organization dedicated to the support of AIDS research, HIV prevention, treatment education, and advocacy of AIDS-related public policy. Recently, Edward and Mohamed have been busy perfecting HADID Wine. Through this unique wine, Hadid designed and blended this luxury wine of Château Darius from the most prestigious and notable wine region production in the world. HADID Wine is available in vintages 2007, 2011, 2012, and 2016 and is sold in the most exclusive restaurants and hotels all around the world such as L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon in Paris and Relais & Chateaux hotels.

Edward is based in Los Angeles, USA, and the UK, handling several businesses as a CEO. The love and support that he shares and receives from his family have been the instrument in the success that shaped his life.

In an exclusive interview with The Luxury Network Magazine, Edward discussed with the publication’s Managing Editor, Garz Bumanlag, his intuitive mastery of diligence, partnership, and leadership skills in each industry he participates in. 1. What do you love about luxury sales? The people I get to meet, together with the places and events I attend to make every sale an unforgettable experience. It’s not about the sale anymore, it’s about creating partnerships and being introduced to a whole different world. 2. What greatest success have you ever had in the luxury industry? Making HADID Caviar brand worldwide known, approved and stocked by places like Harrods within months of launching while been praised from the greatest Michelin-Star-approved chefs and all of these during the pandemic is definitely something unique that I am proud of.

3. What are the top 3 factors you consider before opening up a new business? Building the right team around the project, offering something unique while perfecting it before launching it and timing it right. 4. What do you think is the best way to promote your businesses? Apart from our collaboration with the The Luxury Network, I would say social media is a key factor, together with the sponsorship of grand events like the amfAR Gala. 5. What do you think is the secret of excellent client service? Getting in your clients position at every step of the way, offering them personalised service and support within a very short timeframe. 6. Where do you see the luxury sector in the next five years? Luxury sales will only grow, there is more demand for luxury products and services than ever before and even after this global crisis, luxury sales are thriving. 7. How does it feel to partner with such an iconic person as Mohamed Hadid?

To be fair, it never felt like a business partnership, as Mohamed has always been like a big brother to me so it really feels more like a family affair, while at the same time, I am honoured to have him as a mentor and (for him) always having my back. 8.How do you measure success? True and longterm success can only be measured in happiness when the lights are out and you can switch off from your obligations. Only then, each of us can understand how successful he is. 9. How would you describe your leadership style? I have a unique style of approaching my team. When see it as their own I haveand pointed to problems arise, weluxury try to brand. solve them learnout from (my) and of colleagues that On there are no employthempartners – it’s a part the process. a daily basis, I am ees in to this business and involved that everyone anmake important trying make everyone in this is and them part of a well-tuned machine. 10. How do you manage adversity and doubt? As I started from nothing, I had to overcome a lot of obstacles to get to where I am, it wasn’t always easy, it never is. If no unpleasant situation can break us personally or damage our bonds with one another, it’s not worth it to be worried about the negatives and problems that tomorrow brings. There will always be problems, we learn to live and learn to solve them. It all starts with a deep breath and a positive mindset. 11. What advice would you like to share with emerging entrepreneurs? Never give up, focus on what you love the most and try to traffic all your energy through it to accomplish it. Give credit to yourself for what you have achieved as it’s all part of the journey.

ESG INVESTING An interview with Mr. Vipul Kapur, Head Of Private Banking at Mashreq Bank 1.What are your views on ESG investing?

the USD 140.5 trillion in projected total AUM.

Health, wealth, and happiness are quintessentially the three things which most people aspire. While happiness is a state of mind, the rest two can be acquired. The approach of investing for wealth creation is nearly as old as humankind. However, the trend of investing for socially responsible and sustainable profit is only just gaining currency. Touted as one of the defining investment trends of 21st century, Environment, Social, Governance (ESG) investing is not only fast gaining currency but can potentially change the investment landscape for good. Currently, approximately USD 30 trillion worth of assets are being managed under some form of ESG mandate by asset managers around the world.

3.Do you foresee a trend or pattern with the new generation of investors?

2.Do you think that ESG investing is a sound investment strategy? There are several factors that make me believe that ESG investing is not only a sound investment strategy but is also likely to become a larger portion of investor portfolios in the years to come. Key reasons include the large and increasing capital at play. Globally, over USD 30 trillion of assets under management (AUM) are currently tracking investing opportunities aligned to ESG goals. This almost 10x growth since 2004 is indicative of the velocity with which global capital is moving towards ESG investing. Further, an analysis by Bloomberg estimates that global ESG assets are on track to exceed USD 53 trillion by 2025, representing more than a third of 36

Investor needs are evolving. Increasingly, investors are seeking investment avenues where they can use their capital to change the contours of the world and shape it in line with their vision. The millennials and generation Z are more conscious about where they invest money and have shown an inclination to invest in companies that are proactively addressing issues relating to climate change, social welfare, environment degradation, etc. Today, we are seeing the trinity of investors, investment managers, and businesses aligning on the importance of ESG investing and eschewing shareholders’ capitalism in favour of stakeholders’ capitalism. The movement has received a further impetus in the wake of some of the biggest asset managers in the world, like Blackrock, Vanguard, and Fidelity expanding their offerings of ESG funds. 4.Are investors apprehensive towards ESG investing as it is a comparatively recent and evolving space? These investments are no longer opaque.ESG investing is not without risks and with institutional money flowing into ESG funds, rating agencies are developing their own mechanisms to score and rate ESG funds. For example, last year, Fitch Ratings launched its ESG approach for corporate and leveraged

credits and shows relevant E, S, or G risks that can impact credit quality in a separate section of its credit reports. ESG Investing is certainly gaining traction. The conversations around ESG are getting louder with both investors and companies joining in and sharing their perspective. Increasingly, companies are talking about ESG and bringing it to the forefront in their public mes-

Mr. Vipul Kapur saging, thereby creating awareness even among investors currently not exposed to this trend. 5.How can HNI investors harness this opportunity to generate socially and environmentally responsible profits? By embracing ESG investing, High Net worth Individuals (HNIs) can

generate long-term positive returns while proactively taking steps to limit the impact of unsustainable practices on society and the environment. For example, if you are concerned about the water crisis then you can invest in companies that are working towards creating irrigation or desalination solutions. On the other hand, if you are passionate about addressing the cli-

mate crisis, then you can invest in companies that are focused on alternative energy. A great shift, that can act as a catalyst for the future growth and sustainability for this planet, is currently underway. As an investor, you can contribute to this shift while staying tethered to your overall investment goals by embracing ESG investing. 37

RE-THINKING AND RE-DESIGNING THE LUXURY HELICOPTER INTERIOR EXPERIENCE In the air, in your own space We worked with AgustaWestland (now Leonardo) the industry-leading, multinational helicopter design and manufacturing company, to reimagine the Luxury Helicopter Interior cabin as a “flying lounge”; centering this project around the primary user; Captains of Industry flying to office towers from their city-fringe abodes. Based on the user-research provided, we formulated and focused on this main question “How do we bring value to his/her 20 minute flight toand-from the office?”

Luxury helicopter interior experience By identifying and understanding the current & desired usage patterns of the user, one of the main intentions of the design is to enable a personal spatial experience by allowing for several modes of privacy and conviviality – an environment that can be fine-tuned to his/her needs. This means being able to swivel & adjust the seats pre-flight to support either early-morning huddle, or facing the exterior windows, to have a contemplative moment of the day’s events, on the evening flight home.

An expansion of space, with light & colour How do we make an at-times tight cabin space bigger, without actually physically doing so? We did so in three ways. By having a translucent shell surround the seat, when 40

the user peers through it, he/she cannot perceive actual depth, not unlike a fogged up window or an Impressionist painting. The design of the ceiling of the interior is inspired by the domes of cathedrals, architectural devices that help us to experience a space beyond space. The bands of leather that clad the interior are also batched-dyed so that it starts as a deeper grey at the bottom, graduating to a lighter grey at the top; this creates a visual expansion of space, like a balloon expanding. These bands of leather also serve as quick access storage display pockets.

Natural technology integration The ceiling is also installed with a chromotherapy lighting system that runs through sequences that either stimulates the user like a visual coffee for that important morning deal closure or helps to calm to make that transition back into family life on the way home. The controls of the chromotherapy lighting system is via a custom-designed app. The app also enables communication with the pilot and displays information like estimated time of arrival, ground weather at destination, current speed and views afforded by the cameras installed on the helicopter’s exterior.

SLEEK YACHT DESIGNS THAT ARE REDEFINING LUXURY AND PROVIDING INSPIRATION TO DESIGN LOVERS!

hough I’ve never been on a yacht, one thing is pretty clear – they’re cool as hell! These luxurious vessels are taking over water bodies, and are slowly becoming a preferred means to travel from one destination to another. How exciting would it be to explore beautiful locations in these exotic vehicles? And, we’ve curated a collection of the best yachts we’ve come across. From a conceptual swan-shaped yacht to a futuristic superyacht that doubles up as a floating seaport – this collection of automotive designs will leave you completely impressed, and itching to get aboard one! Pierpaolo Lazzarini of Lazzarini Design Studio is known for his unique and extraordinary watercraft creations and this swan-shaped concept yacht called ‘Avanguardia’ tops the list. The name means ‘vanguard’ and it comes from the position of its control tower which is perched like a swan’s head. Can you guess which 1970’s Japanese manga unintentionally inspired this? Avanguardia is subdivided into 5 decks and can fit up to 60 passengers. The ‘swan head’ is the control tower that is used to maneuver this 137-meter long, almost outrageous, yacht. Another interesting feature about the control tower is that it can detach from the ‘neck’ and transform itself into an auxiliary 16-meter boat. When in motion, the mobile control tower can adjust Avanguardia’s position by lowering itself right into the center of the yacht. The Tecnomar pulls inspiration directly from the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37’s design details (the two even feature together in the video). Outwardly, it’s pretty easy to draw parallels between a car and yacht, simply because they both need to be incredibly aerodynamic and 42

streamlined, but the Tecnomar manages to do so much more to look the part (apart from the angular bodywork, of course). Take for instance the Y-shaped headlights, a detail that’s directly taken from Lamborghini’s playbook (remember the Terzo Millennio), or the zigzag stepping on the rear of the yacht that’s inspired by the rear profile of the Aventador. The designer has created the blueprint of the 85-foot superyacht dubbed Drakkar S inspired by the ye olde Viking longships, which’s perfect for newbie sailors who would rather prefer the autonomous luxury of a vessel. To make self-propelling possible, Drakkar S is infused with advanced autopilot and artificial intelligence systems for smart navigation – detecting any underwater obstacles or even estimating the ideal distance for mooring. Even more so, it can be controlled with a smartphone app – that just sets the tone for a future Apple yacht in Silver or even the Space Grey colors. Elegantly named ‘Saturnia’, this conceptual superyacht is designed to be made entirely with dry carbon fiber structures that will make it 50% lighter than similar-sized vessels and push the top speed up to 30 knots! Saturnia’s main body is subdivided into five floors with an additional area at the top for the antennas. The superyacht can be configured into different layouts to host 10-20 guests in suites along with 20 crew members while also serving as a floating seaport. The concept showcases an all-around walkable deck area with openings on both sides that lift up to reveal the private portwhich makes Saturnia stand out from the competition. Small tenders with up to 1.5 meters of the draft can moor inside the private port

or be easily loaded while the yacht is navigating making it the perfect cruise vessel with the added expansion. There are over 5,000 superyachts currently on this planet, however, none of them look as impactful as the Estrella. Designed by South Kore-based Yeojin Jung, Estrella hopes to break the mold of ‘boring’ practical superyacht design with something that’s a cross between feasible and outlandishly luxurious. Envisioned to look like the jewel of the seas, Estrella comes made for UHNWIs (or Ultra High Net Worth Individuals, as my sorry self just learned), and sports a split-hull design that divides the yacht into the main component, and two floater components on either side, reminiscent of a seaplane. Isaac Burrough, a designer from New Zealand, has created a 110 meters long superyacht concept that uses current and future sustainable technologies to maximize the impact. Kiwa is named after the Māori guardian of the ocean which is a fitting name given that its goal is to help the planet through its energy-saving features and sleek design. ‘The intention for Kiwa was to design a superyacht that is both modern and elegant. Her sleek silhouette combined with curvaceous surfaces adds grace despite her exploration capabilities. A yacht that will look sophisticated whether cruising the Mediterranean or the arctic,” says the designer. Designed to be 300 meters in length and capped with a 13-story-high ‘science sphere’ on top, the Earth 300 was conceptualized by naval architect Iván Salas Jefferson (founder of Iddes Yachts) as the torchbearer of global science, allowing us as a species “to expand our knowledge and understanding of the universe, both above and below the ocean’s surface.” It comes equipped with 22 state-of-the-art laboratories for research, a cantilevered observation deck, and has space for 160 scientists (along with dozens of other experts and student researchers), 164 crew members operating the vessel, and finally 40 additional slots for ‘VIP guests’. However, here’s the most impressive part of the Earth 300 vessel… it runs entirely on ‘clean’ nuclear energy.

The brainchild of Feadship CEO Henk de Vries and the company’s design head Tanno Weeda, the 207-feet (63 meters) Project 3073 was initially designed for a client with the desire for a sleek and sporty megayacht. The result is a seriously elegant all-aluminum sports yacht with sleek lines exuding speed and length. This conceptual yacht exhibits an extended deck, inspired by the long bonnet of the Jaguar E-Type, and features a full-sized glass-bottomed pool right above the owner’s stateroom. It adds to the ambiance and allows light to penetrate right through its floor into the room below. The allure is further enhanced by the open connection between the bridge deck wheelhouse and the main deck saloon – a visionary idea, Feadship believes should see the light of day. Meet Indah, Malay for “beautiful”, conceived and patented by Florida-based designer Lukasz Opalinski of Opalinski Design House. The 120-meter megayacht concept features the biggest beach club ever thought. In addition to being spacious, this central attraction of the yacht extends into large deck space. This is made possible by the rotating transom bulkheads. This yacht, with the extending beach club, has a steel hull and aluminum superstructure. The wide terrace at sea level leads back to the beach club which also features a gym and sauna with tainted glass aft. Inspired by the shape of a shark, the Prodigium is going to be a 153-meter long carbon fiber and aluminum constructed megayacht equipped with its own port. It will be fashioned to have sufficient space for an additional yacht up to 30 meters long. To be completed with three swimming pools, this shark-inspired vessel will feature Roman architecture-influenced exteriors; two stately columns holding up the upper structure which comprises six decks, and the main living area. This upper level is designed to mimic the jaw of a shark which is not surprising. The hull area below will house the suits, gym, and also an enclosed pool. By Srishti Mitra 43

5 TIPS FOR INSTANT SKIN GLOW FROM A SCIENTIST’S PERSPECTIVE

inding it hard to maintain healthy skin this season? Changes to colder, dryer weather and busy holiday schedules can cause dull, red, lacklustre skin. Dermoi’s Chief Scientific Officer, Eve - MSc Pharmaceutical Formulation, has outlined her top 5 tips to revive a stressed complexion for quick glow. 1. Fight Inflammation with Active Ingredients Stress, poor sleep, poor diets, cigarettes, UV radiation, pollution, allergy, and weather changes can all cause inflammatory reactions within the skin, and this tends to develop into excess redness and blotchiness. Adopting powerful anti-inflammatory active ingredients that can calm inflammation at a cellular level to instantly soothe the skin. Some examples include actives such as Ginkgo biloba as it has anti-redness, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant properties or Endothelyol® as it will reduce inflammation, blood vessel dilation, and histamine release. 2. Repair Skin Barrier with Occlusive Agents The skin barrier is composed of dead skin cells (anucleate corneo-

cytes) surrounded by a lipid matrix. With harsh weather, alcohol, stress, cigarettes, and/or poor diets, it is very easy to disturb this barrier. This not only leads to inflammation, but also causes increases in transepidermal water loss (TEWL) leading to dullness and dryness. Moisturisers containing effective occlusive agents that will form water resistant layer over the skin can repair skin barrier function. This will restore suppleness and glow. 3. Exfoliate… but not too much. Even if the skin is in optimal health, an accumulation of dead skin cells on the surface can give a rough, flaky, dull finish. Exfoliation will remove dead cells to reveal smoother, younger-looking skin, however, exfoliating too frequently or with aggressive exfoliants will have the opposite effect. It will dehydrate and thin the skin barrier, increasing TEWL. Try exfoliating only once per week with enzymatic or chemical exfoliators to see how skin reacts. Products containing lactic acid at a concentration of 10% or less can be helpful as that is also a natural moisturizing factor in the skin. Always balance exfoliation with occlusive moisturizers.

4. Add Water Back into Skin with Humectants The skin is naturally structured to bind and store water molecules; however, depending on skin health, this water can easily be lost through the epidermis. Humectants are ingredients that bind water and draw them into

Beauty Diaries

the skin. For example, hyaluronic acid is a well-established cosmeceutical active that can bind 1000x its weight in water, but other humectants such as sodium PCA or glycerin will work. The trick is to always combine humectants with occlusive agents to lock in hydration, otherwise TEWL can increase.

5. Supplement Antioxidants Topically and Orally

overwhelmed during the holiday season.

We are constantly exposed to free radicals (highly reactive molecules in pollution & UV radiation) that change gene expression and damage our lipids, proteins, and DNA. While our body naturally produces protective antioxidants, it’s easy for our natural defences to become

Daily supplementation with bioavailable nutraceutical supplements, topical use stable antioxidant serums, and investing in antioxidant-rich facial treatments, will support our bodies’ defence mechanisms, preventing dullness and premature aging. By Nicole Gonzalez 51

AN EXCLUSIVE COLLABORATION BY HERMÈS AND MYCOWORKS

he new material Sylvania, a hybrid of nature and biotechnology, is the exemplar of a new generation of biotech materials. It is an exclusive collaboration by Hermès and MycoWorks, and the first object made with Fine Mycelium, the patented technology from MycoWorks that enhances mycelium as it grows. Matt Scullin, MycoWorks CEO, says: “We could not imagine a better partner than Hermès to present our first object made of Fine Mycelium. Hermès and MycoWorks share common values of craftsmanship, quality, innovation, and patience. A collaboration three years in the making, Sylvania is the result of a shared vision for growing the future of materials and a quest to unlock new design possibilities. I was introduced to MycoWorks in 2017, which coincided with Hermès’ first experience with Fine Mycelium. At the time, MycoWorks was based in a small artist’s studio. Together, we saw the potential of this incredible material. The power of storytelling is key in any new technology or art. Hermès related to our story: that Fine Mycelium was rooted in artistic practice and craftsmanship. At the same time, Hermès recognized that

MycoWorks’ unique biotechnology approach to enhancing a natural material meant that Fine Mycelium had the potential to be the highest quality mycelium in the world. Sylvania represents how nature and biotechnology can work in concert to create a material with the highest standards of quality.” Pierre-Alexis Dumas, Hermès Artistic Director, says: “MycoWorks’ vision and values echo those of Hermès: a strong fascination with natural raw material and its transformation, a quest for excellence, with the aim of ensuring that objects are put to their best use and that their longevity is maximized. With Sylvania, Hermès is at the heart of what it has always been: innovation in the making.” Fine Mycelium, the genesis of Sylvania, is produced in the MycoWorks facility. It is then tanned and finished in France by the Hermès tanners to further refine its strength and durability, and shaped in the workshops by the Hermès craftspeople. This collaboration pairs expertise in tanning the highest quality materials with the tools of biotechnology. mycoworks.com

Round dining tables are super versatile—with their accommodating footprint, they can be used to create a dining area within a more compact room, or in an open concept space where their round top will emphasize the airy, free-flowing environment. We designed our Reade Round Dining Table with a range of sizes up to 60” diameter, allowing for a larger seating footprint while still maintaining the intimate family feel.

For open concept rooms, start with the amount of people you are looking to seat and create a zone around your table size keeping to the same clearance rules as above. Consider the amount of space between the chair seat height and the bottom of your tabletop. For comfortable seating, leave around 12” between the table and the chair seat height for guests to cross their legs under the table. Our Jane, Allen, and Madison Dining Chairs were designed with this in mind, giving between 17.5” - 21” of width

for added comfort—each pairing beautifully with our Dining Table Collection. Allow for 24” of space for each chair at the table. This gives enough room for each guest to feel comfortable at their seat without being overcrowded. Our guides below illustrate the amount of seating that each table width can accommodate—with the upper end of each range allowing for the maximum amount of guests, creating a more casual, intimate environment.

FIND YOUR FIT There are some universal tips when it comes to determining the best dining table for your space. Below, our designers have outlined the main considerations when selecting a dining table size. Measure the length and width of your dining room, and subtract six feet from each measurement. This will allow for 36” of clearance all the way around the table to comfortably sit in a chair and move around the space. 67

Casa Goals

Our designers recommend a range of seating based on the length of your dining table. The recommended seating layouts at the low end of the range suggest a more spacious seating arrangement. The upper end of the recommended seating layouts represents a more casual seating arrangement to accommodate additional guests:

Rectangular Dining Table Layouts

72” Length: Seats 6-8

84” Length: Seats 8-10

96” Length: Seats 8-10

108” Length: Seats 10-12

Round Dining Layouts 42” Diameter: Seats 4

48” Diameter: Seats 5-6

60” Diameter: Seats 6-8

MATERIAL MATTERS When selecting the wood finish for your dining table and chairs, think about whether you’d like to match them to other elements in your home like the floors or cabinets, or create visual interest through contrasting tones. A darker finish like Charcoal will create a focal point of drama in your space, whereas a modern neutral like our Whitewash or Greywash gives a light, airy aesthetic. Discover our range of wood finishes, designed to be versatile and timeless with an emphasis on the natural materials used in each piece.

team of designers to bring your vision to life. ADDING ACCENTS Whether your dining area is a standalone room or within a multipurpose space, pairing it with a rug is a great way to enhance the design and achieve a carefully curated look. This works particularly well in multi-use rooms to define the dining area, allowing each zone to flow seamlessly together.

Look for a rug size with 18-24” of space on all sides of the table so that chairs can be pulled back and not hang over the edge. Short pile or flat weave rugs are best under a table as they will more easily allow guests to slide their chairs out from under the table. Patterned or darker toned rugs will disguise any spills that may occur. As you add additional furniture to your room, keep the 36” of clearance rule in mind to ensure comfortable flow within the space.

Each piece in our dining collection is handcrafted to bring out the inherent character and natural beauty of the solid ash wood frame and designed to age over time to masterful perfection. And with 70+ fabrics and leathers to choose from, you can design your dining chairs to suit your style goals—from a modern, monochromatic look to an elevated take on a classic farmhouse feel.

WHAT’S COMING NEXT: INTERIOR DESIGN TRENDS 2022

Organic remains the key interior design trend in 2022

t’s been a tough couple of years. There have been highs and lows, and there are still many challenges being faced across the globe. But if the pandemic has taught us anything – it’s that our homes really are our castles. In the face of adversity, home interiors can bring joy and a sense of security. So it’s no wonder people are turning to interior design for escapism. Everyone’s gone DIY mad, and we can’t wait to share our predictions for interior design trends 2022! Here are some key themes you could be seeing in the coming year.....ready, set, decorate!

Hold on to your wicker plant pots! Nature and all things raw and organic are still part of the main narrative this year. As we discussed in 2021’s trend predictions, vegetable-based fibres and raw materials are the keys to happiness. The intrinsic connection between the outside world and humans runs so deep that it’s so much more than a trend that dips in and out of fashion. The truth is, our love for natural elements inside the home will likely never fade. So go on, embrace those woven baskets, revive your rattan, and dust off your wallpapering brush to welcome next year’s big botanical wall coverings!

It’s all about the green living room…

Cottagecore is making a big comeback

Nature-led colours are key for nailing interior design trends in 2022, and the hottest hue is going to be green. Move over navy living rooms – we’re all about green wall coverings and wall paints next year! Deep emerald and quartz are still hot, but multiple shades will come into play, including earthy, herbal or vegetal tones like sage, as well as hues on the green/blue spectrum for an oceanic touch. Mixing different greens to create an organic story will be popular, and house plants will be centre stage. To bring green walls to life, add texture with leafy palms or succulents, contrast with terracotta furnishings, and add metallic finishes such as gold and brass to make everything pop. The more texture you can add, the better – so don’t be afraid to indulge in tactile rugs, cushions and throws either.

If you loved shabby chic back in the day, 2022 is your time to shine. But just know, this interior design trend is about much more than nostalgic countryside scenes and romantic floral wallpapers. It’s actually a way of life, and the concept of cottagecore is built on embracing a simpler, more sustainable existence. And not just in interiors either. If you make your own sourdough bread, wear vintage Laura Ashley, upcycle anything and everything into planters, you’re a bit cottagecore yourself. Think grandmillennial crafts, think reusing and recycling to tackle textile waste in landfills, and think Scandinavian living concepts but done in a very British and ever so slightly chintzy way.

…but make room for optimistic orange When it comes to the overarching interior design trends 2022 has to bring, there’s a clear theme of optimism, hope, recovery and reinvention. Between social unrest and the pandemic, there’s enough to drag anyone down. So joyfulness is the number one goal. As we navigate a post-COVID world, we’re clearing out the negative and bringing in the positive. Cue Pantone Sunflower 16-1054 TCX, which has been predicted to be a biggie in home decorating. This shade is a burnt golden yellow/orange that tells the tale of a summer afternoon. It’s a story of simple pleasures and carefree living, and it adds instant warmth to any space. But there’s definitely longevity in a deep brownish palette because it can transition seamlessly from summery to autumnal, giving you a year-round colour that delights the senses.

There’ll be mad love for all things retro Retro is nothing new. We’ve witnessed the marble comeback, followed shortly by the throwback to terrazzo. So it’s clear that nostalgia makes us tick. But 2022 could be the year where the 1960s, 70s and 80s really come to life. So much so that it could feel as though we’ve popped back in a time machine. The big obsession next year is likely to be furniture, and we’re talking serious investment pieces that last for decades to come. When it comes to style and shape, anything round and circular will be all the rage. Think smooth, egg-shaped seating, globular footrests, and things that simply look “squishy” to touch. Not only is this a nod to a happier era in our imaginations (pre-Covid and pre-social media), but it’s a cry for comfort. Something that so many of us are desperate for now we’re spending more time working/living in our homes. According to psychology, rounded edges are good for the soul! This is because they create a sense of flow that doesn’t overstimulate. Smooth edges calm and soothe us, putting our minds at ease and helping us relax.

Casa Goals

Multifunctional space will be a priority For over a year, our homes have been a place of work and recreation. They’ve been busy offices accommodating multiple family members throughout the working week. They’ve been the restaurants we missed in lockdown. They’ve been to the cinema, the playground, and even the gym. So rooms that can serve more than one purpose are more important than ever, particularly when it comes to office space. But instead of just turning dining tables into hot desks, there’s a growing trend for creating stylish home offices in unexpected (and tight) spaces. It could be a desk under the stairs, a cupboard desk that can be hidden away, or a dedicated corner of a room that is sectioned and defined by a feature wall. Bold wall murals like geometric designs can make an area of a room stand out – and this is key in separating the work zone from the ‘time to switch off’ zone.

Fabrics and wall coverings become one One of the most prominent interior design trends in 2022 is the textile wall trend, an amalgamation of texture, illusion and wallpaper. This is where our favourite fabrics throughout time come to be revived. Think wall murals that have a tactile surface, wall coverings that look like Toile De Jouy, or recreation of granny’s favourite chinoiserie table cloth. And inspired by cottagecore, there are William Morris designs to embrace, as well as those vintage florals that clash charmingly with your grandmillennial curtains! This trend is all about texture, or the illusion of texture, and it oozes a certain quality. A quality that says every inch of your home – even the walls – is carefully considered.

KAY & BURTON PRESENTS A PENTHOUSE LIKE NO OTHER

30 Anderson Street, South Yarra There are top-end apartments in this highly coveted precinct, but there’s certainly only one penthouse of this calibre in Melbourne. Designed by the eminent architect Rob Mills and landscape architect Jack Merlo, the Sadikay Group has certainly established a new benchmark. Overlooking the Royal Botanic Gardens and only one of three housesized apartments, literally no expense has been spared. “There can really only be one apartment like this, given the location, its size (internally approximately 370 square metres), and an exclusive rooftop garden and pool,” says Damon Krongold, Director of Projects at Kay & Burton. And while the unimpeded views over the gardens are impressive, so are the more distant views of Port Phillip Bay and Melbourne’s skyline. While the penthouse beckons, so do the procession that leads one there. The ground floor lobby, with its double-height atrium and stucco 102

lustro walls (Venetian polished plaster) offers the first hint that more is to come. Accessed via a secure lift that opens directly into a generous entrance foyer, the same lift that also services the private rooftop garden and pool, the spaces within the penthouse apartment have been carefully orchestrated to ensure areas are fluid, yet at the same time private. Glass doors between these spaces can be easily retracted to allow for both intimate and also larger areas for entertaining. “The scale of the spaces has been carefully measured. They’re welcoming, generous, and light-filled, but certainly not overpowering,” says Krongold, pointing out the magical light both from the generous 3.2m floor-to-ceiling glazing, and the dramatic skylights, almost cloudlike in their structure. “You can enjoy the cloud movement across the sky or simply bathe in the sunlight that these skylights offer.” Unlike most penthouses that feature one living space, here there are two. One forms part of the open plan kitchen, dining, and living area, while the other includes a sitting area framed by a bay window, a twoand-a half metre diameter dramatic skylight, and a large area for a study/home office. “Often you see home offices concealed behind a door, and often in a poorly illuminated position. But that doesn’t have to be the case, not with the type of finishes and joinery included,” says Krongold. A gas log fireplace, a marble-topped credenza, and oak floors, as used in the kitchen and living areas, adds texture and warmth to these spaces. Likewise, the curved polished plastered walls throughout 103

continually reflecting the light. Although the natural light is abundant with the inclusion of generous skylights and floor-to-ceiling glazing throughout the apartment. The kitchen in the penthouse is more akin to something one would find in a luxurious home. Complete with a well-appointed butler’s kitchen, there’s a generous fluid and organic-shaped central island bench that appears to have been carved out of the same piece of marble. Oak joinery, combined with bronze-mirrored cupboards, integrated Sub-Zero fridge/freezer, two Wolf ovens, Wolf gas hotplates, and even a glass-fronted Sub-Zero wine fridge in the dining area, are in their own league. And like a house, there’s generous storage in the main kitchen and butler’s kitchen to accommodate the most lavish dinner parties. Designed to cater for a broader market, either for the empty nesters that are scaling down, those with adult children, or even those with young families, this penthouse comes with four secure basement car spaces and storage, three bedrooms plus a large multi-purpose room, including a lavish main bedroom suite that encompasses the entire width of the rear of the floorplan. And to take advantage of the northern light, the freestanding marble bath is beautifully positioned in its own marble-lined alcove. As unique is the rooftop garden, accessed via the secure and private lift and loosely divided at its core with a fully enclosed kitchen. This elimi104

nates the need for carrying food or wine up and down stairs or even via the kitchen below to ensure an unrivalled outdoor dining experience. Featuring a raised swimming pool and dining area on one side of the second kitchen, and an intimate dining area to the west, overlooking the gardens, the rooftop garden, and a terrace of just over 400 square metres, is the size of most people’s back gardens, but of course without the unique location or view. Those looking for an easy and relaxed lifestyle will also appreciate the fine detailing and the latest technology: the touch of a button opens the sheer curtains and curved shadow lines skirt the ceilings. “One’s eye is gently led into the next space, whether through the use of joinery that follows the curved walls or just the clever planning,” says Krongold, who appreciates the open-plan spaces, but also the thought was given to zoning within the penthouse apartment. “You could say it’s a timeless design, sophisticated yet restrained. It’s simply a great place to unwind, sit before the fire or contemplate the views over the botanical gardens.” One thing that cannot be overlooked about the penthouse at 30 Anderson is its location and proximity. With an abundance of fine dining restaurants, world-class sporting venues, entertainment, and the arts, and a selection of shopping precincts, everything you desire is in your footstep. kayburton.com.au 105

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT: RECORD BREAKING 20.05 CARAT DIAMOND RING SELLS FOR AU$1,625,000 IBP OR US$1,175,566 AT LEONARD JOEL

n 2021, Leonard Joel celebrated 40 years of Jewellery, and during the final major auction of the year, capped off this celebration with the record-breaking sale of a 20.05 carat diamond ring for AU$1,625,000 IBP or US$1,175,566.
