Golf and luxury converged at the 3rd Annual Citizen Kanebridge Open, held last week at the picturesque Mount Broughton Golf Course in the Southern Highlands.
The event, a staple in the calendar for those who appreciate both precision and prestige, attracted an elite gathering of golf enthusiasts, business leaders, and connoisseurs of the finer things in life.
The 18-hole, par 72 championship course, renowned for its lush fairways and challenging play, provided the perfect backdrop for a day of competitive yet convivial sport.
Participants navigated the rolling greens with skill and strategy, vying for an impressive lineup of prizes, including a Zenith wall clock, an elegant Armani tea set, and a $500 M.J. Bale voucher.
A highlight of the day was the exclusive whisky tastings courtesy of the Whisky & Wealth Club at the Par 10 station.
The Paramonte Legal team, headed by Robert Bounassif, won the overall trophy for the day.
Beyond the fairways, the Open delivered an experience that extended far beyond the game.
As one attendee noted, “This event isn’t just about golf—it’s about celebrating the art of excellence, whether on the course, in timepieces, or in life.”
As the sun set over the Highlands, players and guests transitioned from the greens to the grandeur of the Citizen Kanebridge Lodge in Berrima for an exclusive after-party.
A highlight of the night was an engaging talk on the history of watches, reinforcing the event’s theme of precision and craftsmanship.
The evening was a seamless blend of sophistication and camaraderie, where guests relaxed, networked, and toasted to another successful tournament.
“The Citizen Kanebridge Open has evolved into more than just a golf tournament; it’s an immersive experience that marries sport, luxury, and connection in an unparalleled setting,” said a spokesperson for Citizen Kanebridge.
“Each year, we strive to elevate the event, and this edition has certainly set a new benchmark.”

King Living has unveiled a modular version of its Aura Sofa, bringing greater flexibility to the sculptural design collection as demand grows for furniture that can adapt to changing lifestyles.

Australian furniture brand King Living has expanded its Aura Collection with the launch of a new modular sofa designed to blend contemporary aesthetics with adaptable living.
The Aura Sofa builds on the success of the Aura Island range, first introduced in 2023, which included indoor and outdoor sofas as well as fixed and swivel occasional chairs.
The latest evolution introduces modular functionality to the collection, allowing homeowners to configure the sofa to suit a variety of spaces and uses.
As living spaces continue to evolve, particularly in urban environments where flexibility is increasingly valued, furniture designers are placing greater emphasis on products that can adapt over time.
King Living says the new Aura Sofa has been developed with this trend in mind, enabling customers to create corner, L-shaped or U-shaped layouts, while also allowing additional modules to be added as needs change.
King Living founder David King said the original Aura concept began as an exploration of sculptural design before being reimagined as a modular system.
“Aura began as an exploration of sculptural form. Now, we’ve brought modularity into that design language, giving the freedom to reimagine your space with a modular design made for flexibility,” he said.
The collection’s defining feature remains its soft, flowing silhouette, with curved forms replacing traditional angular sofa designs.
The company describes the sofa as a response to changing lifestyles, where living rooms increasingly serve multiple purposes, from entertaining guests and family gatherings to quiet reading corners and work-from-home spaces.
Its rounded profile and minimalist aesthetic are intended to enhance the flow of contemporary interiors while maximising available space. According to the company, the design is equally suited to compact apartments and larger open-plan homes.
“Today, living space is both a luxury and a constraint. Aura is our response, a purposeful design that proves when intention and fluidity converge, the result can feel both expansive and refined,” King said.
Beyond aesthetics, the new sofa incorporates several engineering features synonymous with the King Living brand.
These include the company’s Postureflex steel suspension system, extra-high pocket springs and its signature steel frame, which is backed by a 25-year warranty. The company says the design has been engineered to deliver long-term comfort and durability.
Sustainability has also been a focus of the design. Each module features a removable cover that can be professionally cleaned, repaired or replaced individually, reducing the need to replace an entire sofa and potentially extending the product’s lifespan.
The Aura Sofa is available made to order in a range of premium fabrics and European leathers, allowing customers to tailor the piece to different interior styles and colour palettes.
Designed, manufactured and sold exclusively by King Living, the Aura Sofa launched in showrooms and online early this month, marking the latest addition to the Australian company’s growing portfolio of modular furniture designs.
