COYA RESTAURANT (LONDON)

Via Wallpaper .. Continuing London’s recent Peruvian invasion, the latest project by Arjun Waney (the man behind Zuma, La Petite Maison and The Arts Club) is private members bar and restaurant, Coya. Set within the grand confines of a classic Georgian building on Piccadilly, the space has been designed by London-based Richard Saunders of David D’Almada’s company Sagrada, who has conjured a bohemian atmosphere with a modern spin. The eclectic interiors feature Peruvian antiques, painted murals and colourful textures. Food, by ex Ivy chef, Sanjay Dwivedi is a tasty array of Peruvian delights such as Conchas con ají limo (Scallops with limo chilli crumbs), while Lima’s very best bars were scoured to create Coya’s very own Pisco Sour served in traditional botija mud containers, traditionally used to store Pisco since the 1800s. The downstairs restaurant and pisco bar is open to everyone, but members will also have use of the separate dining area, outdoor terrace and bar.

FERRARI 250 LM (1964)

Ferrari 250 LM with chassis number 5909 is a right-hand drive vehicle constructed in April of 1964. It was sent to the United States to Luigi Chinetti and the N.A.R.T. team. It competed at the 1000km Nuerburgring and the 24 Hours of Lemans in 1964. In both events, it failed to finish. Its first racing accomplishment came at the 12 Hours of Reims in 1964 where John Surtees and Lorenzo Bandini drove the car to a second place finish overall and second in class.  Ownership passed to Bob Grossman of the US around September of 1964. He had the car repainted in silver metallic with blue, white, and red stripes. It was campaigned throughout the rest of the 1964 season by Bob Grossman. It was entered into Bridgehampton, Canadian Grand Prix at Mosport, Tourist Trophy at Nassau, Nassau GT Race, and the Nassau Trophy. The best finish for Grossman and the car in 1964 was at Bridgehampton where the duo scored a third place finish.  Ownership passed to William M. Sheaffer of PA in 1965. He had the car repainted in a gold-metallic color. Ownership later passed to Bob Cooper, Edwin Niles, and Sonny Bono. Bono acquired the car in 1967 and kept it for a short time before selling it to Don McLaughlin in 1968.  it passed through several more owners before becoming the possession of Frederick Knoop in 1974. It was shown at the 1975 Pebble Beach Concours where it was awarded a first place.  It was sold to Bob Epstein in 1977 who then had it entered in the Monterey Historic Races at Laguna Seca. The car was wearing number 220.  Albert Obrist of Gstaad became its next owner. He entered it in some historic competition; in 1980 he commissioned Carrozzeria Fantuzzi to perform a ground-up restoration.  The next owner was Shiroh Kosaka who showed the car at the Coppa d’Oro delle Dolomiti in 1987 and the 1st Annual Vintage Ferrari Meeting in Japan in 1993.  Steven Read became the next owner in 2004. He brought the car back to the Monterey Historic Races at Laguna Seca. Since then, the vehicle has been shown at various events and entered in historic competition. It was shown at The Quail: A Motorsport Gathering in 2006.

AMMO CAFÉ (HONG KONG)

In a city that is still hell-bent on thrusting up silvery skyscrapers at every street corner, it’s almost a relief to stumble into the newly opened AMMO Café in Hong Kong’s Admiralty quarter. Set in a low-rise, mid-19th-century British ammunitions compound, the café is the sophomore project for locally-based interior designer Joyce Wang, following her breakout renovation work on the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Taking cues from Jean-Luc Godard’s sci-fi classic Alphaville, Wang has created a grand statement space, lining the high-ceilinged room with chandeliers made of burnished copper plumping pipes, bent copper mesh and rods, and copper ribs, all of which are obvious nods to the building’s history. In the kitchen, Tony Cheng has concocted an east meets west menu that includes angel hair pasta with uni, slow cooked eggs with toro and sea urchin, and langoustines wrapped in Vietnamese rice paper and basil.

TAYLOR FLADGATE SCION

Taylor Fladgate SCION, a unique pre-Phylloxera Port made in the mid-nineteenth century, is remarkable not only for its rarity and historic significance but also for the fact that, after 155 years of ageing in cask, the wine is in perfect condition.  SCION first came to the attention of Taylor Fladgate’s wine maker, David Guimaraens, in 2008. It had been passed down through various generations of a distinguished Douro Valley family who had kept it as a private family reserve, with the exception of one pipe said to have been acquired by Winston Churchill.  In 2009 the sole remaining direct descendant of the family died leaving no children. Her heirs, not all family members, decided to sell the wine. Having acquired samples, the directors of Taylor Fladgate discovered that fifteen decades of ageing in oak casks had concentrated the wine to an essence of magical complexity. Not only was it drinking perfectly, it was sublime.  Taylor Fladgate successfully negotiated the purchase of the wine which was moved, in two casks, to the firm’s lodges on 13th January, 2010.  In view of the quality and historic interest of the wine, Taylor Fladgate’s Managing Director, Adrian Bridge, decided that it should not be blended but should be released as a unique collector’s item. Announcing the release he commented: “This extraordinary Port, which has spent fifteen decades in oak casks, may be one of the only wines to survive from the pre-phylloxera era in faultless condition.”  Taylor Fladgate SCION is offered in a specially designed collector’s presentation which recalls the period in which this 155-year-old Port was made. The wine is contained in a specially made crystal decanter produced exclusively for SCION. Each decanter is individually hand blown and finished. It is presented in a solid wooden box based on a nineteenth-century wooden instrument case. Its period feel is enhanced by fine detailing, including traditional dovetail joinery and brass fittings. Set into the lid of the box is a limited-edition book which tells the story of SCION and its remarkable journey through history. Illustrated with ink drawings by the acclaimed illustrator and typographer Sarah Coleman, this book is itself a collector’s item. Gold blocked onto the cover is the word SCION set in a historic Portuguese typeface dating from 1874. Other period details include marbled endpapers, gilt edging and a traditional ribbon marker.  SCION represents an opportunity which may never be repeated to acquire a wine of the utmost rarity and historical significance, a survivor from the lost era before Phylloxera destroyed the vineyards of Europe. There are only two casks of this very rare Port and, given the interest which the release is generating, the available quantity will have to be strictly allocated.

NONNA’S DELI AT YORK & ALBANY (LONDON)

Via Wallpaper … Nestled opposite a leafy corner of Regent’s Park, York & Albany is owned by Gordon Ramsay and run by his illustrious protégé, Angela Hartnett. Originally a coaching inn designed by John Nash in the 1820s, the building has been lovingly refurbished to create an elegant hotel equipped with ten sumptuous rooms, a bar and of course, a restaurant.  The deli itself is housed in the former stables and has retained several original features such as cobbled flooring and rustic stable doors that open onto the street. Named Nonna’s Deli (a nod to Hartnett’s Italian roots) the shop stocks a smorgasbord of the chef’s favourites, from the artisanal – like home-cured meats, Spanish almond and olive oil biscuits and Damien Allsop chocolate – to the everyday, such as Hartnett’s own homemade jams, loaves of fig bread, and HP sauce.  Come sunnier weather, Nonna’s patrons will be able to order picnic hampers complete with a selection from the shop’s wines and sit out in the park just across the way. While for those who might want some food for thought on the side, Nonna’s deli also has a book corner where titles by fellow foodies Ottolenghi, Nigel Slater, and of course Ramsay and Hartnett themselves, are displayed for sale.

ETT HEM HOTEL (STOCKHOLM)

Ett Hem was a private residence built in 1910, for two people who loved art and beautiful things. They left their mark on this townhouse, situated in a peaceful, residential area of Stockholm. This Arts and Crafts building is a tranquil home away from home, steeped in the Scandinavian aesthetics of Carl Larsson and his wife Karin.  Transforming the house into a hotel has been a delicate process: its personality had to remain intact.

Yet it also had to offer all the services required by modern travellers. The result is that Ett Hem is again filled with the best collection of furniture, Scandinavian antiques and design. Things that frame moments in life.  With twelve rooms, Ett Hem offers discerning guests comfortable interiors and bedrooms full of summery whiteness of light. Outdoors, the courtyard garden is a room as important as those inside. It’s a secret city wilderness that is the perfect place for summer breakfasts or winding down over a chilled bottle of wine.

VILLA D’ESTE (LAKE COMO)

(Rates from EUR €435 per night)

A floating swimming pool, Internet access, and satellite TV – the Italy of the 16th century was never this lavish. But modern comforts and classical luxury are natural partners here at Villa d’Este. Maybe it’s due to plenty of practice, since this hotel has been welcoming guests to the shores of Lake Como since 1873.

The 152 sumptuous rooms are scattered through two historical buildings dating back to the villa’s days as the summer home of a 16th century Cardinal, and two villas, Villa Cima and Villa Malakoff, with a slightly more recent construction date in the 1800s.

The rooms range from the 320 sq. ft. Double Superior to the 1080 sq. ft. Cardinal Suite, named for the hotel’s original owner, Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio.  Days at Villa d’Este are full of possibility. Swim in the floating pool, go windsurfing, sailing, water skiing, or match wits with one of the six 18-hole golf courses nearby. And someone has to make sure the spa’s Turkish bath gets some attention!

ABARTH COUPE’ GIUGIARO 1600 (1969)

HOT!

ERIC FISCHL

Eric Fischl emerged in the 1980s as one of America’s most important figurative painters. His paintings, many of which show a single intense moment, compel the viewer to participate in a world of middle-class suburban ambiguity and drama. In Fischl’s engaging distinctly American canvases, narrative, morality, sexuality, and psychology are preeminent.  This volume, an expanded edition of Eric Fischl 1970-2000, is the most comprehensive examination of this important contemporary painter. More than 250 works, selected in conjunction with the artist, present the full scope of Fischl’s career: the formative work of the 1970s; the breakthrough paintings of the 1980s, including the controversial Sleepwalker and Bad Boy; and the mature work, often of a personal and contemplative nature, of the 1990s and 2000s. In his most recent paintings, Fischl has turned to multipiece cycles: The Bed, The Chair series, starting with The Philosopher’s Chair; canvases inspired by trips to Italy and India; and the paintings—Fischl terms them “narrative fictions”—of the “Krefeld Project.” These engrossing images have been accomplished with a mastery that has been compared to that of Caravaggio.  The introduction, by philosopher and critic Arthur C. Danto, offers a perceptive study of Fischl’s work over the course of four decades. Commentary drawn from interviews with the artist, conducted by noted writer Robert Enright, accompanies the paintings. Finally, a witty and personal afterword by Steve Martin, best known as a gifted comic actor and author, but also an astute collector of modern art, discusses Barbeque, a famed Fischl painting from his private collection.

TEDDY BEAR CHAIR by HANS J. WEGNER

As early as 1953, PP Møbler became the sub-supplier of the frames for the Teddy Bear Chair. And even though PP Møbler did not get its own Wegner designs until 1969, the actual cooperation began here. This cooperative effort was followed by development work on many of Wegner’s prototypes.  Like many other Wegner chairs, the Teddy Bear Chair seems to refer to the animal kingdom with its characteristically playful and organic design. The chair received its name after a critic had referred to its armrests as ‘great bear paws embracing you from behind’. In the later years, the Teddy Bear Chair has been one of the most popular Wegner designs of all. Wegner also designed a foot-rest for the Teddy Bear Chair – the pp120 stool.  PP Møbler resumed the production of this chair in celebration of the workshop’s 50th anniversary. Originally is was designed for AP Stolen in 1951 by Hans J. Wegner.
