Luxury comes in many forms. It can be an indulgent experience or
wrapped up in the possession of a high-end product. At its centre,
lies an object of desire.
Objects of desire, our guiding theme this month, has translated
differently in each of our regular sections. Our Report focuses on items
deemed meritable expressly because of the exorbitant sums they’ve
fetched over the years, while Luxe Living provides an opportunity to sink
a dollar or two into pieces already showing an upward trend in value.
In Home, we take on the less sexy topic of heating, and turn up the
heat. Gaynor Stanley scoured the shops to showcase only the most
designer of heating appliances. Trust me, you’ll be happy to see low
temperatures on the forecast if you get to fire up a sculptural radiator, or
stare at the flames of your eco-friendly burner in burnt orange.
Can a building be an object of art? That is the question posed by
architect Richard Dalman, and his discussion shows there is more than
one way to view four walls – even in a commercial setting.
Art can be divisive or convivial; on the walls or out in space, and has
a habit of making an impact, as Deborah McCormick knows all too well.
The founder of SCAPE Public Art tells us how the charitable trust’s
20-year history has changed the world’s perception of Christchurch.
The field of fashion is naturally filled with luxurious fabrics, designer lines
and covetable looks. For our fashion shoot, stylist Sarah Louise created
a blank canvas with her choice of models, who, as we discovered upon
arrival at The Central Art Gallery, appeared as mannequins awaiting
adornment. Oscar, Britt and Stassi were soon transformed, modelling
prized pieces held by some of New Zealand’s most recognisable labels.
There are designer itineraries in our Travel section and food and wine
to admire, in a magazine designed to offer you a little bit of luxury and a
lot to desire.
Enjoy your Style,
