Imagination is the Sense that Drives Discovery
With the increasing dilution of the term ‘luxury’, a group of like-minded companies, encompassing architecture, air charter, gastronomy and travel came together on 19 August 2010 to organise a truly luxury affair.
It was a by-invitation only event and guests consisted of clients of the various companies; true connoisseurs of all things lux. Developing synergies through complementary services, the aim of the event was to fulfil the needs of a select group of people – people who have moved beyond ego validation and a life defined by appearance, position and status, deferring instead to a life that is an intriguing mix of serene convenience and fulfilling adventure.
The various companies who co-hosted the event were: Richard Ho Architects (Architecture), Silversea (Luxury Cruises), Chapman Freeborn (Air Chartering), Relais & Chateaux (Hotels and Gastronomy), Aracari (Peri Destination Experts), Wild China (China Destination Experts), and Quotient TravelPlanner (Customised Travel Planning).
The evening’s culinary cuisine was prepared by Emmanuel Stroobant of St Pierre, which has the singular honour of being the only restaurant in Singapore to be accorded membership into the world renowned Relais & Chateau association.
With the evening’s theme of "Discovery of the Senses", guests were treated to a night which stimulated all the five senses, culminating in a discovery of the sixth sense – imagination.

Starting with cocktails and canapés of Home Smoked Cod Fish, Applewood Grilled Organic Chicken Breast, Truffled Forest Mushroom Ragout and Crispy Eel, guests were given the opportunity to mingle with the various company representatives to learn more about their services.
Complementing the theme, guests were given a little task of completing a quiz which revolved around the senses of smell, touch, taste and sight. Those who successfully completed the quiz were given a small token, and doubled their chances of winning one of the four attractive lucky draw prizes for the night.
Throughout the four-course dinner, guests were further entertained with a series of short talks and multimedia presentations, courtesy of the companies hosting.
