One Night. One Chef. One Chance: Join Dan Arnold for Michelin-Inspired Dining

For one unforgettable evening, Brisbane will play host to a dining event that is set to capture the imagination of food lovers across Australia.

Culinary Masters 2025 brings acclaimed chef Dan Arnold into the spotlight, offering guests a rare opportunity to experience his Michelin-inspired cuisine in an intimate and immersive setting.

The event, presented by Robb Report Australia & New Zealand, will take place on Thursday, October 2, from 6:30pm to 10pm at Arnold’s renowned Restaurant Dan in Fortitude Valley.

Known for its refined approach that blends modern Australian produce with French precision, the restaurant has become a must-visit destination for gourmands seeking a truly elevated dining experience.

What sets this night apart is not only the menu, but the chance to go behind the curtain of Arnold’s creative process.

Each dish will come alive as the chef himself reveals the inspiration, the history and the techniques behind it.

Guests will discover the stories that have shaped his culinary journey, from training in Europe’s Michelin-starred kitchens to establishing one of Australia’s most celebrated restaurants.

The menu will showcase seasonal produce sourced from boutique local farms, with every course carefully designed to highlight the ingredients at their peak.

Rare wine and whiskey pairings, curated specifically for the event, will elevate the dishes further, creating combinations that surprise and delight.

This is not simply a dinner. It is a masterclass in flavour, craft and storytelling. An evening where food is not just eaten, but experienced. A night where the chef’s personal philosophy and artistry unfold at the table.

Culinary Masters is designed for those who crave more than just a meal; it is for anyone who wants to understand the secrets of one of Australia’s most talked-about chefs, and to savour dishes that reflect both global influence and local character.

Seats are strictly limited, ensuring an atmosphere of intimacy and exclusivity. For food lovers, it represents exactly what the headline promises: one night, one chef, one chance to experience something extraordinary.

Bookings are essential, and with numbers capped, this exclusive evening is expected to sell out quickly. Book your ticket here.

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.
