Anthenea, a unique experience with the sea

Opening a window on the submarine world, Anthenea offers a magic living-space and invites you to live timeless moments in perfect harmony with Nature.

Adventurous, movable, unsinkable, autonomous, Anthenea matches the environment to instill an incredible feeling of freedom to its guests.

Anthénea, the first hotel suite on the water, breathes a breath of freedom into the tourist landscape… A multi-sensory experience intended for hoteliers for their travelers in search of reconnection with nature and exploration… between horizon and seabed.

Anthénea, the first luxury nomadic floating hotel suite

An eco-setting on the water

Product 100% made in France, eco-responsible and nomadic, the first Anthénea prototype has recently been waving off the pink granite coast of Brittany.

Imagined as a hotel suite on the water, Anthénea is autonomous, self-sufficient and ecological. Being able to be equipped with silent electric motors, it allows a long stay on the water thanks to the equipment designed to leave no trace of its passage.

Nourished by its environment, Anthénea is equipped with 5 solar panels facing south on its dome and 2 electric propulsion pods.
Its circular shape is designed to follow the sun’s rays and live up close
elements. Its central well serves as natural air conditioning doa @ nsreleaslreésgtiaontes .tirofpoicales while offering a dive into the abyssal regions.

50m2 eco-designed bring together 3 living spaces: living room with sofa, curved furniture dressed in waxed concrete and 360 ° underwater observatory and panoramic kitchen. The sleeping area consists of a bedroom with an XL round bed, seawater or freshwater bathtub, 360 ° solarium upstairs for 12 people. The furniture is entirely made of eco-designed materials.

Born from a dream and fully modular, Anthénea is limited only to the imagination of the buyer.
Price: fully equipped and furnished hotel suite (operational or ready for use): 50 m2 model at € 480,000 excluding tax (transport included)

Destination: unexplored (with or without home port)
Offering a new form of tourist experience between underwater vision and terrestrial exploration, Anthénea allows the traveler to unearth unsuspected territories and live unexplored experiences while unwinding the thread of the intimate: that of the link with nature and with oneself.

Photographe professionnel

The compass always oriented towards freedom, this alcove does not require building permits. Anthénea frees travelers in search of discoveries and unexpected finds. Being faster to deliver than a construction on stilts and more respectful of the environment, it also streamlines the process of acquiring hoteliers in an eco-responsible approach.

A “4-season” product suitable for a large thermal amplitude (-30 ° C to + 40 ° C), Anthénea can anchor on a warm sea, a lake in summer or set sail for Icelandic snow.

Aerodynamic and blending in perfectly with any natural environment, the luxury floating suite allows access to the most confidential and inaccessible shores and to be at the forefront of underwater fauna & flora.

Unchanging and unsinkable, this passport for contemplative and immersive escapades does not require any knowledge of diennfaovigraetaiolen. Sttoen. certification as a vessel allows you to undo and sail in slow discovery mode.

AGREEMENT SIGNED FOR A BVLGARI HOTEL IN ROME TO OPEN IN 2022

Bvlgari is delighted to announce that an agreement has been signed for a new hotel in Rome, scheduled to open in 2022.

The new Roman hotel will be strategically located in the central Piazza Augusto Imperatore. This is in the very heart of the Campo Marzio neighborhood, a stone’s throw from Via del Corso and Via del Babuino, the iconic Spanish Steps and the signature Bvlgari flagship on Via Condotti.

AGREEMENT SIGNED FOR A BVLGARI HOTEL IN ROME TO OPEN IN 2022
The new Bvlgari Hotel Roma will occupy a magnificent building, owned by Edizione Properties, who was assisted by CBRE Hotels for the tenant selection activity.

The building was built between 1936 and 1938 to a design by architect Vittorio Ballio Morpurgo. The rationalist building, which faces two of the most iconic Roman landmarks, the Ara Pacis and the Mausoleum of Augustus, the first Roman Imperator, which is currently under renovation, reveals a monumental, modern architecture emphasized by the use of traditional Roman materials and colors, such as ochre Travertine marble and burnt red brick.
The rigorous rationalist architectural appeal of the building is counterbalanced by Antonio Barrera’s frescos, running in the via della Frezza atrium and offering different views of the Mausoleum of Augustus, while the Southern face is decorated with a 70-square-meter mosaic by Ferruccio Ferrazzi, who offered his personal interpretation of the Roman foundation myth.

As for the other Bvlgari Hotels in the world, Italian architectural firm Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel will be in charge of both the architectural project and the interior design of the new Bvlgari Hotel Roma, which will count over 100 rooms, most of them suites, as well as the prestigious “Il Ristorante” curated by Michelin-starred chef Niko Romito and “The Bvlgari Bar,” both located on the top floor to guarantee an unparalleled view of the Eternal City. The luxury hotel will also include a range of additional facilities, including a high-end spa with an indoor swimming pool, and a state-of-the-art gym, offering Bvlgari’s exclusive Workshop training method.

As unique feature, the Bvlgari Hotel Roma will also present a Reading Room containing a collection of precious volumes dedicated to the history of jewellery. Such a library will be open to the guests and to the public by appointment only.
Standing out on the building’s façade, on top of a splendid fountain, a Latin inscription says: “This is the place where the Emperor Augustus’ soul flies through the air.”

This unique link between the new Bvlgari Hotel Roma and Emperor Augustus’ vision will be highlighted with an Interior design balancing the rigor of the stones used in Imperial Rome, concise yet powerful details, as well as rich textures contrasting with the architectural essentiality of the building. Seamlessly blending different references to the unique Roman heritage with the contemporary and timeless Bvlgari style, the new Bvlgari Hotel Roma will celebrate the extraordinary magnificence of its hometown, and will welcome its guests in an outstanding and unique environment.

“We are particularly proud to have secured such an extraordinary location for the new Bvlgari Hotel in Rome,” says Bvlgari CEO Jean-Christophe Babin. “ This Hotel, to be opened in 2022, represents a remarkable achievement for Bvlgari that will finally have its own ‘temple’ right in the city where the Company was founded and that still represents nowadays the beating heart of the brand. It will be by far Roma most luxurious hospitality experience ever”.
“Together with all parties, public and private, involved in this important project, we are proud to have planned and executed this large, world class real estate investment in Rome, a key place for Edizione Property” says Mauro Montagner CEO of Edizione Property SpA.

Being Rome Bvlgari’s hometown, this opening will be a remarkable addition to the Bulgari Hotels and Resorts Collection, which already counts six properties in Milan, London, Bali, Beijing, Dubai, Shanghai and which will be further extended, between 2020 and 2022, with inaugurations in Paris, Moscow and Tokyo. Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts, founded in 2001, has reached some remarkable achievements as it is the only Italian luxury hotel collection with worldwide destinations, and it is by far the largest hotel group branded by a luxury goods brand with all its properties leaders in their respective markets.

In occasion of the announcement of the Bvlgari Hotel Roma project, and to celebrate its unparalleled constellation of unique and exclusive hotels and resorts, Bvlgari also created a special jewellery piece, reflecting the legendary house’s outstanding creativity and expertise.
In keeping with the eternal magnificence of its native city, Rome, the muse inspiring each of its original and bold creations, Bvlgari presents “The Bvlgari Ospitalità Italiana Necklace”, a white gold tubogas chocker enriched with 10 different precious stones, each of them carefully matched with one the luxury destination of the Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts collection. This work of arts, injected with joie de vivre and eternal beauty, is a one of a kind piece made to order.

Driven by its pioneering spirit, Moët & Chandon has always produced a Champagne with an inimitable identity.

Driven by its pioneering spirit, Moët & Chandon has always produced a Champagne with an inimitable identity.

Creation date: 1743
Chairman and CEO: Stéphane Baschiera
Head office: Avenue de Champagne, 51200 Epernay – France
Website: www.moet.com

IDENTITY

Since 1743 when it was founded, Moët & Chandon has been passing down unequaled winemaking savoir-faire and an innovative and pioneering spirit from generation to generation.

Claude Moët, its founder, was the first person to embody these values when he made his Champagne the most sought-after in Europe. With his grandson, Jean Remy Moët, a pioneering and visionary mind, Moët & Chandon became a major international champagne brand. This saga quickly transformed the family House into a worldwide symbol of success.

The 1,190 hectares of rich limestone soil, 50% of which is classed as Grand Cru and 25% Premier Cru, make up the largest vineyard area in Champagne. Underground, the Moët & Chandon cellars are the most extensive in the region. Extending more than 28 kilometers, they form a subterranean labyrinth where the wine metamorphoses under optimum conditions of humidity and temperature.

ICON

As the House’s signature cuvée, Moët Impérial is its most comprehensive and universal expression. This Champagne is a perfectly executed blend of over 200 crus, mingling the full body of pinot noir with the suppleness of meunier and the finesse of chardonnay. The very incarnation of balance in Champagne for over 150 years.

“Undoubtedly, it is Moët & Chandon’s legendary heritage and pioneering spirit. Furthermore, this is a brand with an exceptional savoir-faire, yet it is always innovatively forward-thinking. From innovating successful new trends in bottling to creating new methods of celebration, Moët & Chandon continues to pursue new ways to share the magic of Champagne with the world.”

Stéphane Baschiera, Chairman and CEO of Moët & Chandon

SAVOIR-FAIRE

For Benoît Gouez, Cellar Master at Moët & Chandon since 2005, the champagne that he was previously ignorant of has now become a passion. In his own words: “I’m not from the wine world. I arrived here through a series of encounters, circumstances and above all, intuition! “. Benoît Gouez’s enthusiasm and expertise drove him to understand the spirit of Moët & Chandon Champagne, which he has been magnifying with boldness and elegance, vintage after vintage.

INNOVATION

Only Moët & Chandon could innovate by breaking the rules. The House rose to a new challenge by developing a luxuriously revolutionary Champagne: Moët Ice Impérial is the very first refreshing Champagne to be enjoyed over ice, in large glasses that have been specially designed to reveal all of its subtlety.

MORE THAN 270YEARS OF HISTORY

1,190HECTARES OF VINEYARDS

MORE THAN 150NUMBER OF COUNTRIES WHERE MOËT & CHANDON IS PRESENT

Driven by its pioneering spirit, Moët & Chandon has always produced a Champagne with an inimitable identity.

Hornos Harrison – Hornos artesanales de combustible sólido de lujo

Recientemente descrito como “una compañía de hornos diferente a cualquier otra” por la revista británica GQ en una revisión reciente, Harrison Ovens es una empresa familiar que encarna el espíritu de la artesanía artesanal británica. La marca rechaza la producción en masa de alto volumen ofrecida por corporaciones sin rostro en todo el mundo, favoreciendo un enfoque auténtico, práctico y personal.

Harrison Ovens – Luxury, Artisan Solid Fuel Ovens

Harrison Ovens – Luxury, Artisan Solid Fuel Ovens

Hornos Harrison – Hornos artesanales de combustible sólido de lujo

Cada horno Harrison está hecho a mano con amor entre Londres y Ramsgate, Kent, tras haber trasladado recientemente parte de la fabricación de su hogar original en Londres, a un alto y perfecto grado; ciertamente no hay sentido del estilo sobre la sustancia, cuando ambos son igualmente impresionantes.

Harrison Ovens fue fundada por el entusiasta de la cocina con fuego real Daniel Thumwood, cuyo particular interés en cocinar de manera tradicional con combustibles sólidos lo inició en el camino hacia el éxito del horno artesanal. Determinado por la naturaleza engorrosa y poco inspiradora de los hornos profesionales de carbón, Daniel buscó algo diferente que cumpliera con los mismos propósitos y se adaptara expertamente a cocineros aficionados de alta gama y restaurantes boutique con cocinas abiertas.

Este podría ser el mejor horno de combustible sólido de alto rendimiento del planeta.

Considere la moderna cocina de alta gama y es difícil no imaginar una reluciente gama de hornos de pared a pared respaldada por Patrick Bateman que ha sido cuidadosamente coordinada para que coincida con el humidor. Sin embargo, los hornos artesanales Harrison representan un enfoque más tradicional de la forma, uno que representa la sustancia culinaria sobre el estilo Square Mile. Hecho a mano en el Reino Unido por el ingeniero y soldador Daniel Thumwood, cada diseño de cámara cerrada funciona con carbón, combinando el sabor auténtico derivado de una parrilla abierta con toda la comodidad controlada por calor de un horno de convección. Adecuado tanto para uso en interiores como en exteriores, The Harrison viene en una gama de colores inspirados en la gastronomía, desde tinta de calamar hasta venado, aunque si sus gustos musicales abarcan a Huey Lewis y Phil Collins, también está disponible en acero inoxidable regulable.

Daniel proviene de una experiencia artística, después de haber estudiado historia del arte renacentista durante 6 años. Fue sobre estos fundamentos sobre los que Daniel construyó su imperio, combinando su amor por el arte con un amor por la cocina y sus habilidades en los campos de la artesanía en metal. En la vida útil de 4 años de la compañía – (nb: los hornos han estado en desarrollo durante 4 años, la compañía se constituyó en mayo de 2016), Daniel participa regularmente en todas las etapas de la creación de Harrison Ovens, trabajando junto a su padre George, un veterano del oficio. Cada horno se hace a mano y se prueba y aprueba personalmente antes de salir del taller de Daniel y se le otorga su certificado de autenticidad. ¿El final resulto? Un producto británico artesanal superior y lujoso, que Daniel siente que refleja el cuidado y el carácter, las perfecciones e imperfecciones, de su creador.

Hablando sobre Harrison Ovens, Daniel citó:

En Harrison creemos firmemente que los artesanos ahora son los que cambian el juego. En un mundo de producción en masa y vida a alta velocidad, nuestras habilidades se remontan a una época de métodos auténticos, paso a paso.

Hablando de los primeros días de Harrison Ovens, agrega:

Inicialmente diseñé y desarrollé Harrison, para mi propio uso, pero el interés ha sido tan abrumador, que ahora estoy ofreciendo hacer un número limitado de este hermoso horno, para chefs creativos e innovadores, tanto aficionados como profesionales.

¿qué hace que Harrison Ovens sea tan especial?

Además de su estética tradicional, trayendo un estilo clásico a la era moderna en una época en la que lo ‘vintage’ se considera de moda, cada Horno Harrison tiene su propio número de serie, un libro de registro y un certificado de autenticidad que refuerza la relación personal. entre la marca y el cliente. Para enfatizar esta relación, cada certificado ha sido firmado y sellado con cera por el maestro artesano Daniel Thumwood, quien construye cada Horno Harrison a mano. Este enfoque hecho a mano garantiza que no haya dos hornos Harrison iguales: cada uno tiene su propio carácter, sus sutiles imperfecciones y su personalidad culinaria, brindando comidas y sabores únicos que sería imposible replicar con el horno de la más alta calidad. Realmente desarrollas tu propio gusto.

Sin embargo, los Hornos Harrison no son simplemente un dispositivo de cocina: se mezclan sin esfuerzo en cualquier cocina, cada Horno Harrison sirve como un mueble, llama la atención a medida que los invitados lo admiran y seguramente será una pieza de conversación garantizada. Cada horno está diseñado y fabricado para complementar perfectamente las cocinas y jardines más sofisticados de todo el mundo. Ofreciendo no solo las comidas más suntuosas, Harrison Ovens seguramente traerá un sentido de creatividad y asombro a cualquier boutique social de la que se conviertan, o restaurantes boutique, entreteniendo a los huéspedes sin parar e invitando preguntas.

Perfecto para cualquier combinación de colores o tema de cocina o jardín, los hornos Harrison están disponibles en una variedad de tonos con nombre apropiado, que incluyen tinta de calamar, moules, borsch, venado, pez loro, col rizada y rábano picante. Se encuentra disponible un horno Harrison tradicional de acero inoxidable, conocido como Harrison ‘S’. Para aquellos que buscan una sensación vintage en su Horno Harrison, la marca británica ofrece un gabinete de base de nogal y roble de aspecto natural, o un clásico acero inoxidable.

Más rentables que otros hornos de cámara cerrada producidos en masa, los hornos Harrison comienzan en aproximadamente £ 5000.

Hornos Harrison

¿Por qué debería invertir en un horno Harrison?

Los hornos Harrison son hornos de combustible sólido de cámara cerrada, lo que los convierte en la combinación perfecta de una parrilla abierta y un horno convencional. Este tipo de horno se puede encontrar en los mejores restaurantes de todo el mundo, lo que garantiza que cada comida sea de calidad gourmet y con estrellas Michelin en la comodidad de su hogar. Durante el proceso de cocción, los aspectos de cámara cerrada de un horno Harrison permiten que el calor viaje alrededor de las paredes del horno por convección. Esto significa que los alimentos se cocinan de manera uniforme y rápida a fuego alto, mientras retienen la humedad, la suculencia y el sabor, sin los brotes asociados con una parrilla abierta.

Con una cámara cerrada, horno de combustible sólido, puede cocinar prácticamente todo lo que su corazón desee: carne, pizza, pescado, pastel, pan, las posibilidades son infinitas. Al cocinar dentro de un horno Harrison, todas estas deliciosas comidas y más se infunden con deliciosas pestañas ahumadas de sabor.

El uso de un horno Harrison también es rentable: el carbón ahorra dinero, ya que es más barato que el gas y la electricidad cocinar a altas temperaturas, al tiempo que salva el medio ambiente como una sustancia orgánica, natural y no tóxica. ¡La marca a menudo utiliza un horno Harrison para tostar granos de café y fumar queso!

Los hornos Harrison son increíblemente fáciles de limpiar: todos los desechos caen en un cenicero debajo de la cámara principal y se pueden desechar de forma rápida y sencilla. Este desperdicio no tiene impacto en el medio ambiente y puede ser particularmente útil cuando se dispersa en el cultivo de vegetales.

Knightsbridge’s newest dining spot: Maia by Flavio Briatore

Italian entrepreneur Flavio Briatore’s newest restaurant opening offers a lad-back fine dining experience in Knightsbridge

Flavio Briatore has never stood still. From Formula One racing, to a nightclub empire, to high-end restaurants, he has transformed all the industries he has been involved with. At the heart of all his work is glamour and luxury, and his latest dining offering, Maia in the heart of London’s Knightsbridge, takes this to a new level. Kristina Spencer investigates

Knightsbridge’s newest dining spot: Maia by Flavio Briatore

Adrenaline, excitement, adventure – these have been a part of Flavio Briatore’s life since the early days. Born in 1950, the Italian tycoon worked as a ski instructor and a door-to-door insurance salesman before meeting Luciano Benetton, founder of the eponymous clothing company. Known for his business wit and endless charm, Briatore was soon appointed Benetton’s director of American operations and went over to the US to open more than 800 stores during the 1980s.

In 1988 in Australia Briatore saw his first grand prix and a year later was named commercial director of Benetton’s Formula One team. The Italian understood that, for the audience, racing was less about the mechanics behind the operation and more about the spectacle and the excitement. Formula One had never seen anything like him before – Briatore transformed the sport into one of the most glamorous on the planet, and made a fortune along the way.

The restaurant Maia offers a swinging sixties-inspired ambience

It was Briatore’s ground-breaking vision that made Benetton a winning team within five seasons. Demonstrating his skill as a talent spotter, in 1991 he signed the driver Michael Schumacher, who won his first titles in 1994 and 1995. In 2000, after Renault bought Benetton’s team, Briatore signed a contract with Fernando Alonso, who was 18 at the time. Five years later Alonso won his first World Drivers’ Championship.

Briatore’s vision was one of success, and he loved what came with it. He dated models Naomi Campbell and Heidi Klum, launched a luxury clothing brand and eventually entered the luxury hospitality industry. Why? “My whole life has been about luxury. It’s where I feel most at home, and I wouldn’t do anything else,” he declares.

The businessman owns a Spa resort in Kenya and nightclub-restaurants in Monte-Carlo, Tuscany, Dubai and London. His most recent addition is Maia, on Hans Crescent in the heart of Knightsbridge, offering both traditional Italian dishes and plant-based choices. With Maia, Briatore wanted to create an “around-the-clock venue,” where you could spend anywhere from an hour to the entire day. “You can have a business lunch or an early evening aperitivo and carry on through to dinner. Maia is dynamic and adapts to the time of the day with a different atmosphere and offerings.”

Maia’s menu features traditional Italian dishes as well as healthier options

Maia is open all week for breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between. Its mission is to bring the soul back into the neighbourhood and create a go-to place for the locals, be it for a laid-back afternoon aperitivo or a family celebration. “Many Knightsbridge residents are already regulars,” says Briatore. “They come back because the staff know them by name and they feel they are taken care of.”

The menu has an array of contemporary versions of Italian classics, with vegetarian and vegan options. But can Italian food really be healthy? “Italian food is so versatile,” laughs Briatore. “Beyond the clichés, you will find a choice of fresh, seasonal dishes,” created by Michelin-trained Head Chef, Mauro di Leo. There are the usual suspects: cacio e pepe, veal Milanese and white fish ceviche with veggie crisps. But there is also a detox Maia salad (chopped kale, broccoli, cauliflower, parsley, carrots, sunflower seeds and lemon-ginger dressing) and an abundance of avocado on the menu. Maia might be onto something.

Health and wellness have been buzzwords for some time, but over the past couple of years they have changed the food industry. Rather than simply a trend, wellness has become an ongoing commitment, especially amongst millennials and Gen-Zs who deeply care about having a healthier lifestyle; and although it comes at a premium, they are ready to pay.

Which is where Maia comes in. “All around us, we are being given more and more opportunities to eat a plant-based diet; it’s good for us and good for the planet so I can’t see that going away,” says Briatore. “Being Italian, this trend is actually what our food culture is based upon, and not that different from what our parents and grandparents put on the dinner table every day.”

The restaurant offers a healthy and nutritional menu from its in-residence wellness advocate Francesca Giacomini of ‘Francesca The Method’ fitness and nutrition plans. But Maia shouldn’t be mistaken for a health parlour: the afternoon tea is a treat with freshly baked cakes and pastries, and if you are after something stronger, Richard Woods, the award-winning mixologist, will mix you a drink.

Maia’s interior is subtle, referencing the 1960s with comfortable chairs and soft furnishings in dark leather around dark, glass-topped tables. Come evening, the curtains are drawn over floor-to-ceiling windows and the lights go down. It is important not to distract from the atmosphere, according to Briatore, as “the guests are at the heart of the restaurant – clients are the best decor we can get”.

The restaurant may be the newest addition to the Billionaire Group, yet it is certainly not the last one – early in 2020, Briatore will be opening a Crazy Pizza in Monaco, following its success in London, and Billionaire Riyadh will be launched. Briatore’s ambition is to continue to grow his empire – he brings a lifetime of experience with him . “I believe in calculated risk” he says “and I have learned you can’t always win but it sure feels great when you do!”
