a peek inside the Arts Club Mayfair

DISCUSSING THE PERKS AND HIGHLIGHTS OF ONE OF LONDON’S BEST MEMBERS CLUBS: The Arts Club has long been one of the most revered and fascinating places that London, one of the world’s capitals, has to offer. It was founded in 1863 by Charles Dickens and his friends as a haven for people connected with the Arts, Literature and Sciences, and it has grown tremendously since. In 1896, the Arts Club moved from its Hanover Square home to Mayfair’s Dover Street, and in 2011, it re-launched after a complete renovation.

WHISKEY GLASSES: FUSING DESIGN & FUNCTION

Dec 20. 2016

OUR CHOICE OF STYLISH CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR THE WHISKEY AFICIONADOS IN YOUR LIFE: Whiskey is one of humanity’s senior recreational vices, distilled from fermented grain and the drink of choice of monarchs and common men alike. After the art of distillation spread to Ireland and Scotland around the 15th century, it was initially used for the production of ‘aqua vitae’ with medicinal purposes. However, the practice swiftly turned from medicinal to secular via the Guild of Barber Surgeons. Production surged and further developed over the centuries, giving rise to numerous brands and varieties across the world. By the time the 20th century rolled around, whiskey had become an iconic drink, recognised and consumed pretty much anywhere. It is Scotland’s best known manufactured...

Nov 17. 2016

THE VISIONARY DESIGNER’S CREATIVE SPIRIT CONQUERS SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL: Designer and artistic director Philippe Starck recently presented his creation for Cidade Matarazzo, alongside entrepreneur Alexandre Allard.

Oct 24. 2016

THE ICONIC HARDWARE DESIGN BRAND GOES NORTH BUSTER + PUNCH started out in an East London garage and after years of growing into the home fashion label we’ve all come to know and love, the brand has opened its first showroom in Stockholm.

A Re-START of Contemporary Art

Oct 19. 2016

EDITORIAL: HOW START FAIR’S EMERGING ARTISTS MIGHT HELP CHANGE THE CONTEMPORARY ART MARKET Six years ago, on 1st July 2010, Charles Saatchi announced his intention to gift over 200 works of art and the Saatchi Gallery to the nation, upon his retirement. The gallery would be renamed MOCA London, which stands for Museum of Contemporary Art, London, a polite nod to MOCA LA – the Californian precursor of contemporary art museums, which had been granted a $30M infusion from its founding chairman, Eli Broad. Mr Saatchi’s decision came on the heels of refusal from Tate Modern’s Sir Nicholas Serota, who had rejected Saatchi’s entire collection donation offer back in 2005. Thus, in the summer of 2010, Tate Modern found itself not only...
