Global Art Deco opulence has been redefined by two Australian contemporary icons of the style. Luxury bespoke jeweller Fairfax & Roberts and custom furniture maker Boucher & Co have come together to create a partnership that celebrates the design and craftsmanship of exquisite Art Deco furniture and jewellery. Art Deco was the last splendidly self-indulgent decorative style, and it existed, “for luxury and leisure, for comfort and conviviality,” wrote critic Brian J.R. Blench. The work of Fairfax & Roberts, along with Boucher & Co, exemplifies this ethos with handcrafted jewellery and mechanical furniture (including secret compartments) that fills customers with a lifetime of wonder and delight. Furthermore, each piece from both these houses is designed to be passed through generations, becoming an intrinsic part of a family’s history. “What you are seeing in our pieces is the focused work of people whose passion is made visible,” says David Boucher, who has been crafting handmade furniture and cabinetry for royalty, heads of state and connoisseurs in his Toowoomba studio for 40 years. “This collaboration with the master designers and jewellers at Fairfax & Roberts is the perfect extension of our passion. We are looking forward to creating amazing new pieces with Fairfax & Roberts for our mutual clients from Australia and around the world”. This partnership between two of the Art Deco world’s shining lights will see examples of Boucher & Co’s work showcased in Fairfax & Roberts’ flagship store, in a landmark Art Deco building, in Castlereagh St. “It’s a real privilege to be working with an artisan of David Boucher’s stature,” says Georgina Brujic, CEO of Fairfax & Roberts. “His love of Art Deco design and his commitment to producing pieces of an incredibly high standard is inspiring. His pieces compliment our jewellery perfectly and I’m looking forward to working with him and collaborating on pieces that will delight our customers.” Over the last 40 years, Boucher & Co has forged a global reputation for design excellence, crafting fine art one-of-a-kind, custom furniture pieces for the world’s connoisseurs. In 2013, Rolls-Royce collaborated with Boucher & Co to design and create bespoke interiors for their iconic motor vehicles and together they created the world-first Boucher-inspired Rolls-Royce Ghost. Fairfax & Roberts has been crafting Australia’s finest bespoke luxury jewellery since 1858, when they first opened their doors on Sydney’s George St. Their tradition of fine design and craftsmanship has continued and they are known for their commitment to quality, service and innovation. Boucher & Co is now on display at Fairfax & Roberts, 19 Castlereagh St, Sydney for the opportunity to experience the finest in Art Deco luxury furniture and jewellery. www.boucherandco.com | www.fairfaxandroberts.com.au
