Feb 16, 2024 | magazine.thebrunoeffect.com | Peter Martin

“Beautiful cars will always be appreciated as kinetic sculptures,” says Jason Barlow in his book The Atlas of Car Design, pointing out that the best classic automobiles “already command the sort of values associated with fine and contemporary art.” More than that, “they can break your heart just as readily as any human being,” as he tells Effect when sitting down with us to deconstruct the curiously visceral relationship between people and these extraordinary machines.

If December’s Miami Art Week closes the design year with an exuberant orgy of art and design happenings, BRAFA heralds its January rebirth, with a supremely assured exhibition that is high in both elegance and originality. “One of BRAFA’s greatest assets is its eclecticism,” says the fair’s chairman, Harold t’Kint de Roodenbeke; and it’s clearly a quality they value, with a mix of galleries that presents not a monoculture but a trove of best-in-class work to sate a broad range of tastes.

Jan 25, 2024 | magazine.thebrunoeffect.com | Elana Castle

Growing up, design wasn’t always on the cards for the Melbourne-based designer Brahman Perera. It was only after graduating high school that his passion for the field took hold. Inspired by his newfound interest to produce a portfolio of work, Perera applied to study architecture at Melbourne’s prestigious RMIT University in 2006. “I recall being asked why I had suddenly developed an interest in design, given I’d taken no related subjects at school,” Perera muses.
