Pettit & Sevitt’s modernist charm lives on in Sydney’s New Line House

“‘Are you sure you want to put these beams back in?’” The builders asked that question again and again, recalls the owner of New Line House, in Sydney’s East Ryde. “And every time we said, ‘Yep.’” The stained Oregon beams date back to the house’s beginnings as a Lowline, the flat-roofed, single-level, linear model from the company behind some of Australia’s best-loved modernist homes: Pettit & Sevitt. Removed and later reinstated, the beams may no longer be structural but remain as a memory of...

Inauthentically Hong Kong: the Disneyfication of cha chaan teng and bing sutt must stop

If you have walked down SoHo in Central lately, your eyes might have been attacked by the flashy crimson facade of a new cha chaan teng (Hong Kong-style diner) on Staunton Street. It is the latest opening in what appears to be something of a cursed space: it was previously home to a short-lived Nordic-style cafe called Moma, and before that Majo Tapas Bar and the California-inspired Big Sur restaurant. The latest tenant, Double the Joy, advertises itself as a cha chaan teng by day and a dai pai...

Style Edit: Bonhams’ Amayès Aouli on the art of collecting wine and whisky ahead of Hong Kong sales

Before a bottle reaches the auction room, Amayès Aouli wants to know who chose it. For Bonhams’ global head of Wine & Spirits, a collector’s taste or a winemaker’s convictions help explain what makes a wine worth pursuing. “Before we catalogue a bottle, we want to understand the philosophy and the history of the owner and the collection,” he tells Style. Aouli’s own route into wine began with a desire to see the world. Finance took him to New York, London and Hong Kong before he returned to...

The opening takes the group’s presence at the shopping destination to three stores, each conceived for a different customer. Rather than repeating a single retail formula, the group has developed...

The growing interest in Desert diamonds, with their nuanced palette of warm, earthy hues, is one indication of this shift. Moving beyond the familiar vocabulary of colourless stones, the trend celebrates individuality, distinctive character and a more personal relationship with...
