Alex Katz, This is NowOn Guggenheim Bilbao

The exhibition features 35 landscapes in which Katz utilizes a grammar of abstraction, which in-cludes the expansive allover treatment of his can-vases, to capture what he calls the present tense, or the simultaneity of vision and awareness. Katz describes this moment as an explosive flash just before an image comes into focus.

The show aims to reveal the fundamental but often unacknowledged role that landscape has played in Katz’s long career. Katz’s monumen-tal landscapes are immersive, contemplative paintings that prompt conversations about the confluence of perception and awareness, the re-lationship between art and nature, and the nature of the sublime in this contemporary moment.

The paintings Sunset and Twilight exemplify Katz’s aim to seize upon a flash of perception. In Sunset, Katz conveys the heat of a late summer afternoon by silhouetting the tops of tall pines against a deep red sky, and in Twilight, Katz cap-tures the silvery, evanescent light of the moon as it pierces a stand of pine trees late in the evening.

Works in the Black Brook series range in scale from small and intimate to monumental and enve-loping. Their subject is a modest stream that runs across Katz’s pro-perty in Maine.

They often seem to describe thick forest panoramas but actually repre-sent the reflection of surrounding landscapes on the water’s surface.

By focusing on the flat, inverted image projected on the surface of

the water, Katz obliquely refers to the science of perception in his attempt to capture the present tense or flash of perception in his work.

PLUS PERFORMANCE

Even more perfor-mance coupled with

outstanding efficiency – that is what is behind the

new “performance” model designation

at Audi.

The new Audi RS 6 Avant performance offer more power output than ever before. This top figure for power and efficiency is made possible by the technological expertise of Audi and quattro GmbH. Engineering skills and long years of experience with RS high-performance models went into further optimizing the 4.0 TFSI, from the specific engine management system with increased rpm and boost pressure to the Audi cylinder on demand (COD) system, which only activates four of the eight cylinders when under part load.

The standard eight-speed tiptronic has been designed for extreme sportiness in the new RS 6 Avant performance. The driver can choose between the modes D and S or change gears manually either by tapping the selector lever or by using the shift paddles on the RS multifunction sport leather steering wheel. In manual mode, a shift indicator in the driver information system or optional head-up display indicates the rev limit.

quattro permanent all-wheel drive delivers the power to the road and flexibly distributes torque as needed via the center differential. In the standard configuration, 40 percent flows to the front axle and 60 percent to the rear axle. The wheel-selec-

tive torque control intervenes as necessary. Audi also equips the quattro drivetrain with an optional sport differential on the rear axle with active torque distribution between the inside and outside wheel.

With its dynamic setup, the standard RS adaptive air sus-pension lowers the body of the RS 6 Avant performance by 20 millimeters (0.8 in). The integra-ted damping control varies as a function of the road conditions, driving style and the mode chosen in Audi drive select. Audi offers the tauter RS sport suspension plus with Dynamic

Ride Control (DRC) as an alternative. An additio-nal option is dynamic steering with a continuously variable steering ratio.

The Audi RS 6 AvantThe driver can adjust the function of key compo-nents using Audi drive select, including the stee-ring, engine and sound management, the tiptronic and the optional sport differential. New in the performance models: Similar to the new Audi R8 high-performance sports car, the driver can switch between the modes auto, comfort, dynamic and individual without taking his or her eyes off the road using a special button on the RS multifunction sport leather steering wheel.The new RS perfor-mance model come standard with exclusive 21-inch cast aluminium wheels shod with size 285/30 tires on the RS 6 Avant performance.

The four internally ventilated brake disks have a weight-saving wave design; as an option, Audi offers carbon fiber- ceramic disks. Electronic Stabi-lization Control (ESC) has a Sport mode and can be deactivated if needed be.

Striking design details reinforce the preeminent position of the new RS performance model. These include the sportily designed bumpers with large air inlets up front and the heavily profiled diffuser insert at the rear, the gloss black honeycomb grille typical of the RS models and the flared side sills. Audi offers the new exclusive paint finish Ascari blue, metallic as an option.

The sportily elegant interior of the RS 6 Avant performance comes standard with RS sport seats with pronounced side bolsters and integrated head restraints. Audi offers the seats in the color com-bination black and blue with the optional RS per-formance design package. This includes new seat upholstery in an Alcantara/leather combination with a honeycomb pattern and matching contras-ting stitching on the armrests, controls elements and floor mats. Rounding out this interior combi-nation are kneepads in Alcantara and carbon twill blue inlays. This sophisticated and exclusive carbon material is interwoven with a blue thread. The dial instruments feature black faces, white dials and red needles.

The new Audi RS 6 Avant performance costs 117,000 euros in Germany; The new model will be available at dealers beginning in November.

The 4.0 TFSI now produces 445 kW (605 hp) and maximum torque of 700 Nm (516.3 lb-ft). A particular highlight of the engine is an overboost function allowing the driver to temporarily draw on up to 750 Nm (553.2 lb-ft). The Audi RS 6 Avant performance sprint like supercars from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in just 3.7 seconds, an improvement of 0.2 seconds over the respective base RS model. They need just 12.1 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 200 km/h (124.3 mph), 1.4 seconds less than the base RS models. With the optional dynamic package, top speed can be increased from 250 to 280 (155 to mph), respectively. Despite the output boost of 33 kW (45 hp), the sonorous V8 biturbo power unit consumes just 9.6 of fuel per 100 kilometers (24.5 US mpg), respectively, corresponding to 223 g CO2 (358.9 g/mi).

MASERATI AT THE AUTO E MOTO D’EPOCA SHOW IN PADUA

The Auto e Moto d’Epoca show, Europe’s and Italy’s biggest exhibition of classic and contemporary cars and motorbikes, began in Padua today and will be open to the public until Sunday 25 October.

Three classic Maserati cars of significant historical value are on display at the stand dedicated to the Trident in Hall 1 at the Padua show: a 1934 6C34, only 6 of which were made; a sporty 1964 Mistral Coupé with bodywork by Frua, and a one-off Tipo 124 from 1974.

As well as the three exclusive classic Mase-ratis, the stand is also exhibiting a Ghibli S Q4, the contemporary executive sedan with a sporty personality, equipped with the “Q4” all-wheel drive system. This one-off Ghibli was used as the concept car for the new range of “Zegna Edition” interiors currently on the market and is the only one of its type in the world.

The Maserati Store will also be at the stand with lots of new products including the Mase-rati Classiche line inspired by the world of heritage, with the Trident’s legendary vintage cars reproduced on the graphics and patches of the garments.

The “Maserati Classiche” department, which curates the brand’s participation at the show, is an in-house entity entirely dedicated to classic Maserati cars and the promotion of the company’s immense historical heritage.

Maserati recently introduced the MY16, pre-sented in September at the Frankfurt Motor Show; this upgrades all current engines in the range to the Euro 6 standard, also adding exclusive new content for the Ghibli and Quattroporte sedans, including interiors in Ermenegildo Zegna silk.

SILVERSTONE CLASSIC INSIDE

After the huge success of this year’s record-breaking Silver Jubilee extravaganza, the 2016 Silverstone Classic will continue to set the gold standard in global historic racing festivals. Staged at the home of British motor sport, next year’s Silverstone Classic will run from 29-31 July, with tickets going on sale on Thursday 12 No-vember. The glittering 25th anniversary blockbuster confirmed the Classic’s coveted status as the World’s Biggest Classic Motor Racing Festival with record grids, record track parades, record numbers of car club displays plus, for the first time, a record attendance of more than 100,000 visitors.

CANNES COLLECTION

LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura représente la musique, le théâtre, la danse et les arts visuels. Et pour les arts visuels, le nouveau centre artistique accueille le Musée d’art de la Suisse italienne Lugano. Grâce à sa programmation actuelle et future, le musée dévoile son identité aux multiples facettes : des expositions temporaires et une importante col-lection, des artistes jeunes et affirmés, toutes les formes d’arts visuels ainsi que le dialogue avec les autres expressions artistiques, une identité suisse et tessinoise avec un rayonnement international.

Inauguré en septembre 2015 avec un franc suc-cès, le Musée d’art de la Suisse italienne (MASI Lugano) est le résultat de l’intégration du Museo Cantonale d’Arte de Lugano et du Museo d’Arte. Le but de la nouvelle salle est de devenir un point de référence dans le panorama artistique et culturel et de promouvoir la qualité, la créativité et l’innovation. Son offre artistique se déploie sur deux lieux : le site principal au sein du nouveau bâtiment du LAC et le cadre plus traditionnel du Palazzo Reali, un splendide bâtiment historique du XVe siècle. Ensemble, les deux sites du MASI Lugano offrent un large éventail d’expositions qui s’étend de l’histoire de l’art de la région aux formes d’art contemporain à l’échelon national et international.

Les expositions actuelles définissent l’identité du musée depuis le début et incarnent une véritable déclaration d’intention. «Grâce au programme inaugural et les propositions artistiques excep-tionnelles du MASI Lugano, le musée récemment ouvert révèle son identité aux multiples facettes et son orientation future», explique Marco Fran-ciolli, directeur du MASI Lugano.

Les expositions actuellesL’exposition d’ouverture, Orizzonte Nord-Sud, présente les grandes figures de l’art européen des deux côtés des Alpes de 1840 à 1960, en mettant en lumière les références culturelles tessinoises traditionnellement forgées par la migration et les flux entre le Nord et le Sud. Au Palazzo Reali, ancien foyer du Musée cantonal d’art, une exposition complémentaire intitulée In Ticino présente des expériences artistiques régionales allant de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle à la première moitié du XXe.

L’art d’aujourd’hui est bien représenté par les installa-tions d’Anthony McCall, un artiste américain d’origine britannique qui a conçu quatre sculptures lumineuses pour le MASI Lugano. Son travail Solid Light Works s’articule autour d’installations de luminaires dans les endroits sombres de sorte que le visiteur soit entouré par l’obscurité et absorbé par l’œuvre. Au deuxième étage du hall d’entrée du LAC se trouve l’oeuvre d’un jeune artiste suisse nommé Zimoun ; son installation constitue une œuvre d’art cinétique et sonore compo-sée de 171 boîtes de carton qu’une petite balle de tissu fixée à un pôle vibrant vient faire trembler.

La collaboration entre les collectionneurs privés Gian-carlo et Danna Olgiati et le Musée a donné naissance à l’exposition Mnemosine Théâtre. Giulio Paolini d’après Watteau, qui a ouvert ses portes en septembre au Spazio-1 qui abrite la collection. Des oeuvres inédites figurent aux côtés de la collection.

The International Guild of Specialist Engineers

The International Guild of Specialist Engineers Member, Clive Temple, MSc Programme Director at Cranfield University, encouraged his new cohort of Advanced Motorsport Engineering MSc students to divert their attention away from modern motorsport and focus on its historic aspect.

In line with TIGOSE’s aim to celebrate all activities relating to classic motorised vehicles, and encourage young people to nurture an interest in historic motors-port, Clive was competing in his 1929 Riley Brooklands at Silverstone, with his students assisting on the day; they also took the opportunity to look closely at the wide range of cars racing at the AMOC meeting.

“Many of the Cranfield Masters students see their career paths leading to F1, WEC, WRC and other series, but I am keen that they shouldn’t forget the roots of a sport to which we have dedicated our lives,” said Temple.

TIGOSE launched the first Classic Vehicle Restoration Apprenticeship in the UK last year; together with training partner Emtec Colleges, The Guild provides a tailored and structured frame of learning to young people who wish to work in the classic car restoration industry.

Gilda célèbre l’élégance et l’esprit entreprenant de la femme d’aujourd’hui. Le boî-tier galbé de forme elliptique renvoie vers l’harmonie entre tradition et modernité.

L’aspect contemporain se retrouve dans l’acier ou l’or rouge 18ct du boitier. Son cadran chatoie entre nacre et coquille, rehaussé de brillants, d’index en chiffres romains et d’aiguilles en forme de feuille. Une ode à la nature.

Cette merveille est protégée par un verre saphir circulaire bombé avec traitement antireflet. Disponible avec bracelet alligator et boucle personnalisée E&Co. ainsi qu’avec bracelet Chéri® dans la version acier, avec ferme-ture invisible à deux lames personnalisée E&Co. Extra-Fort Automatic s’offre

de nouveaux cadrans, argenté, noir et gris, dans sa version trois aiguilles et date. Le must de l’élégance et du raffinement au masculin.

La lecture de l’heure est aisée grâce aux chiffres romains et index en applique rhodiés. Vous remarquerez les contrastes sub-tils de la finition azurée entre la surface des index et celle de la zone centrale.

Le mouvement mécanique, à remontage automatique, est dissimulé dans un boitier en acier de 40 millimètres étanche à 50 mètres. Un verre saphir bombé protège le boitier.

Depuis sa création dans les années 1940, l’Extra-Fort a été en constante évolution.

L’Extra-Fort est intemporelle et empreinte d’un classicisme apprécié des amateurs.

Le coffre à cigares Emperador

Un écrin unique pour vos cigares favoris. Toutefois, l’exceptionnel n’est pas corne d’abondance. Seuls douze privilégiés pourront, annuellement, se tar-guer d’avoir un bijou pour conserver l’arôme de ces feuilles de tabac minutieusement sélectionnées.

Pour surprendre, tant l’acquéreur que le contem-plateur, ce coffret Emperador possède un garde-temps à tourbillon. Il trône au sommet du précieux

coffre. Son cadran est guilloché clous de Paris. Sa construction est l’œuvre d’un maître-horloger du Jura suisse.

Cet écrin est réalisé en matériaux nobles. A la vue des tous, trois indicateurs mécaniques: l’humidité relative et la température de l’intérieur du coffre, la réserve de marche et le stock de cigares à disposi-tion. Le tout en temps réel.

Un système d’autorégulation de l’humidité sans apport d’eau ni intervention humaine a été déve-loppé en première mondiale par Imperiali Genève, dans un souci de perfectionnisme et d’innovation. Celui-ci garantit un taux d’hygrométrie stable de 70% et une température de 16 à 18 degrés, quelles que soient les conditions climatiques extérieures.

IMPERIALI GENÈVE

A l’avant, un tiroir discret comporte le coupe-ci-gares permet la coupe mécanique du cigare ou son poinçonnage à la manière d’un emporte-pièce. Le briquet de table et ses trois buses proposent une flamme parfaite. Le cendrier s’ouvre par la magie de sa mécanique à l’approche du cigare.

Et les cigares? Riche, complexe et équilibré, il est le produit de fertiles plantations des vallées du Jamastran (sud du Honduras) et du Jalapa (nord du Nicaragua), eldorado des émigrés cubains ayant apportés avec eux leurs graines et leur maestria.

Le cigare Emperador est un produit premium dont la confection ne laisse aucune place au hasard. Après 48 mois de maturation, les feuilles sont ma-nufacturées dans le plus grand respect du produit pour donner naissance à un Grand Cru d’exception.

Son prix? Un objet exceptionnel n’a pas de prix. Laissez la magie opérer et achetez-le si cela est votre désir le plus fou. Acquérir la perfection est comme accéder au Nirvana.

Total introduces modern lubrication technology to London to Brighton vete-rans more than 110 years old What links the high speed, high-octane world of Formula 1 with the rather more stately progress of the century-old horseless carriages taking part in the annual Bonhams London to Brighton Run?

The answer is Total, one of the world’s largest integrated oil and gas majors. Total has been a partner of Renault Sport F1 for more than 40 years, and supplier of lubricants for the automo-tive industry in partnership with the world’s leading car manufacturers for longer still, and the company is now also applying its innovative high tech thinking to cars that top 20 mph rather than up to 200 mph.

The world’s most exclusive McLaren owner experience has taken to the track for the first time at the Circuit de Catalunya in Spain, as the debut McLaren P1™ Driver Programme event saw seven examples of the track-only model let loose.

Each owner got behind the wheel of the most powerful model ever

PASSIONE by MontegrappaPassione means more to Italians than mere desire or obsession.

It can mean fondness, the pursuit of a hobby, the love of a sports team. Whatever the definition, it always stands for interest beyond the merely passing: demonstrating a love so strong that it can barely be contai-ned. Passione can also be inescapably sexy.

That is also why the Passione collection oozes with sensuality. It is rewarded with a selection of four writing tools, with Sterling Silver trim, in four celluloid hues, ranging from spicy orange and cinnamon to magnetic Mediterranean blue and zebra stripes.

Bentley wins GT Asia Teams’ title

Bentley Team Absolute has taken the GT Asia Series teams’ title with its trio of Bentley Continental GT3s, after a strong season that ended with a pole position, race win and podium in the series finale in Thailand.

The weekend started well for Bentley Team Absolute, as former Bentley works driver Duncan Tappy (GB) and new team-mate for the event Benny Simonsen (DN) put their car on pole position for race one. Despite it being a debut in the Continental GT3 for the Dane, the pair dominated the race and crossed the line in first place.

In race two, Tappy and Simonsen finished just behind team-mates Adderly Fong (HK) and Keita Sawa (JP) who were pushing to take the driver’s title, but nar-rowly missed out, despite getting a podium result. The championship title is the second win for the Continen-tal GT3, which won the Blancpain Sprint Series title just a fortnight ago.

The team next races its Bentley Continental GT3 in the GT World Cup on 22 November as Fong takes on the 60-minute race on the streets of Macau.

London Classic Car ShowNew hall added to 2016 Lon-don Classic Car Show to show-case displays from 25 of the country’s top car clubs. When the inaugural London Classic Car Show opened its doors in January, it covered 18,000 square metres of prime exhibi-tion space at ExCeL London.

Crammed with innovative fea-tures, mouth-watering classic cars and a star-studded list of celebrity visitors, that inaugural show was such a success that even before the show closed it was announced that the 2016 edition (18-21 February, 2016) would be almost half as big again.

Reminiscent of a British Motor Show from the 1960s, the hall will also feature stands from relevant classic car dealers. Vi-sitors will be treated to period entertainment to continue the hall’s retro vibe.

The second London Classic Car Show will also have a number of other new features, inclu-ding ‘Classic Corner’, an open forum running virtually conti-nuously throughout the show where guest speakers will talk about classic cars as invest-ments, about the pleasure a classic car can bring and offer advice about buying at auction. More dealers and more trade stands are also promised.

Crossing California on Hydrogen

Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-CELL customers ventured beyond Sou-thern California last week for the very first time, while only filling up at existing public hydrogen stations along the route from Los Angeles to San Francisco.

The opening of a new hydrogen station in Coalinga along the I-5 corridor made this opportu-nity possible. A team driving five B-Class F-CELL refilled at four per-manent hydrogen-fueling stations located in Burbank, Coalinga, West Sacramento and Emeryville, accumulating nearly 1,000 miles over the course of their three-day trip.

It was a real pleasure getting to roadtrip with real drivers and learn how well Fuel Cell Vehicles can fit into their lives, especially as the network expands.

Thanks to Mercedes-Benz, the station owners Linde, First Ele-ment Fuels and Hydrogen Frontier for their work in building up the network.”

The electric power driving the Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-CELL is generated directly on board in the fuel cell stack by a reaction between the oxygen in the air and hydrogen. There is no emission of pollutants, only pure water va-pour. Thanks to the 700-bar high-pressure fuel tank system, the car has a long operating range of around 250 miles (400 kilometers) and can be refuelled in the short time of less than three minutes.

The car combines local emission-free mobility with long-distance and day-to-day suitability and good performance figures. Pro-duced under series production

conditions, the Mercedes-Benz B-Class F-CELL has already been in day-to-day use with customers in the European and American markets since 2010.

The total mileage of the Daimler fuel cell fleet, which now numbers more than 300 vehicles including numerous research vehicles, has now reached more than 7.4 mil-lion miles (twelve million kilome-ters). Numbering around 70 vehi-cles, the F-CELL fleet in the USA has now covered about 2 million miles (3.2 million kilometers).

The development of the new generation Mercedes-Benz fuel cell electric vehicle is on track and the company plans to launch the model by 2017.

Le BMW Brand Store accueille

Michel Vaillant et la BMW Z4 GT3 by Michel Vaillant

des 24h de Spa- Francorchamps.

Road Spirit, International Lifestyle & Mobility Magazine

Du 16 au 30 novembre, le BMW Brand Store de Bruxelles accueille une exposition consa-crée à Michel Vaillant Art Strip. La BMW Z4 GT3 pilotée par Timo Glock, Bruno Spengler et Alex Zanardi lors des récentes 24 heures de Spa-Francorchamps qui a été décorée aux couleurs de Michel Vaillant, sera de retour en Belgique à cette occasion.

Spécialement adaptée au handicap d’Alex Zanardi pour lui permettre de disputer sa première course de 24 heures en compagnie de deux coéquipiers, cette voiture pré-sentait un autre attrait pour les nombreux spectateurs. La décoration de cette voiture de course a en effet été confiée au studio Graton qui a repris outre l’emblématique onomatopée Vrooaarr figurant sur les flancs, un dessin représentant les trois pilotes sur le capot avant. Pour la première fois depuis le double tour d’horloge ardennais, la BMW Z4 GT3 quittera les ateliers de BMW Motorsport pour rejoindre le BMW Brand Store en l’hon-neur de l’exposition consacrée au Michel Vaillant Art Strip.

Du 16 au 30 novembre, les amateurs d’art et de bandes dessinées pourront découvrir dans le BMW Brand Store du boulevard de Water-loo à Bruxelles pas moins de 18 adaptations de dessins de Jean Graton, le créateur de Michel Vaillant et de Julie Wood. Ces Michel Vaillant Art Strip proviennent des célèbres bandes dessinées et ont été retravaillés et mis en valeur par Dominique Graton, belle-fille de l’artiste et directrice artistique de la Fondation Jean Graton.

Les talents conjugués du dessinateur et de la graphiste donnent naissance à de nouvelles œuvres baptisées Michel Vaillant Art Strip. Elles propulsent la BD culte du sport auto-mobile dans l’art contemporain. Ces œuvres sont réalisées en tirage limité de 30 exem-plaires, chacune est signée et numérotée et est accompagnée d’un certificat d’authenti-cité délivré par la Fondation Jean Graton.

Le BMW Brand Store organise régulièrement des Art&Design Sessions où des artistes et designers viennent présenter leur travail. Cette exposition sera la première consacrée à l’art de la bande dessinée.

22e TROPHÉE

Le vent a fini par chasser les nuages et c’est sous le ciel azuréen de Bastia que les cents vingt concur-rents se sont lancés à l’assaut des routes corses.

Parcourir le Cap Corse, faire une escale à Asco, ces routes sinueuses à souhait, que demander de plus. Au hasard d’un virage, les pilotes croisent quelques animaux. Souvenez-vous, je cite, la réplique d’Obélix: «Tiens des sangliers domestiques» qui lui vaut comme réponse: «Non, ce sont des cochons sauvages». C’est l’ambiance corse.

Après cols et vallées, les participants goûtent au charme de la baie d’Agosta ainsi qu’aux délices culi-naires du dîner face à la mer. Porticcio est le point d’ancrage d’où partent chaque jour les concurrents vers les tracés dit en marguerite dessinés par Hervé Charbonneaux et Stéphane Giraud.

Le Trophée en Corse est une alchimie spécifique entre le plaisir de conduire, de découvrir ou redé-couvrir les fabuleux paysages corses et la gastrono-mie locale. Comme ce restaurant de Bonifacio où les participants dégustent aubergines farcies et filet

de daurade. C’est aussi l’échange entre le volant et le gouvernail d’un bateau pour naviguer près des grottes et des falaises de Bonifacio.

Une détente bien méritée avant de repartir vers l’extrême sud et le golfe de Valinco. Après une pan-tagruélique dégustation de langoustes, il est temps d’entonner l’Ajaccienne.

Dernière boucle avant de rejoindre le continent. En ce dimanche, les équipages croisent chasseurs et chiens. Et au col de Scadella, ce sont quelques

cochons qui s’invitent à la pause où se dégustent pancetta et haricots à la mode corse. Le rallye em-prunte des routes sublimes et sinueuses, passe par le mythique col de Bavella puis le défilé de l’Inzecca avant de retrouver le port d’Ajaccio et la tradition-nelle remise des prix.

Le bateau s’éloigne de l’île de Beauté et les souve-nirs, eux, accompagnent, pendant la traversée, par-ticipants et organisateurs. Vivement le 23e Trophée en Corse.

Classic Motor Cars launch new Car Concierge Service

Leading classic car restorers Classic Motor Cars (CMC) have launched a new car concierge service for owners with little time. Owners can now arrange for their classic and sports cars to be collected by CMC in their covered transporter and taken back to the company’s pre-mises in Bridgnorth for a variety of services, before being returned to the owner at a desti-nation of their choosing.

Concours detailing to award-winning stan-dards can also be achieved through CMC. With their in-house paint shop, the team can rectify minor defects and restore the paint surface, so that it will look as good as new,

Delivery or collection can be arranged from or to anywhere in the world, and whenever the owner desires to visit their car, CMC can pick them up from rail stations and airports. Whilst at CMC’s headquarters, the car will be stored in their brand new 24,000 sq. ft. facility, which is fully secure, dry, insulated and next to the company’s award winning workshops.

Le groupe d’hôtellerie de luxe fondé par Christina Ong ouvre sa première adresse australienne, au cœur de Perth.

Situé à deux pas du quartier des affaires, il s’inscrit dans un bâtiment du 19ème siècle réhabilité par l’architecte et designer Kerry Hill.

Originaire de la ville mais basé à Singapour, ce dernier a choisi de conserver la veine his-torique du lieu en réinstallant d’anciennes lucarnes ou encore en dénudant la façade de manière à en retrouver l’aspect originel.

Du côté des 48 chambres et suites, le style contemporain minimaliste ré interprète la sophistication de la signature COMO : lits Kingsize Grand Posture conçus sur-mesure, meubles réalisés par des artisans européens, salles de bain German Kaldewei Duo, et bien sûr, les produits de toilette de la marque culte COMO Shambhala, à base d’aromathérapie.
