Create Michelin star pasta with stylish copper machines

We still have a crush on copper! This industrial luxe finish, combining the commercial vibe of metal with a tactile warmth, knows no bounds. We’re loving it in everything from light fittings and side tables to taps and tableware – and now it’s found its way into the culinary heart of the home – the kitchen.

2724 Copper lifestyle

Marcato are the Italian geniuses behind the copper pasta and biscuit making machines. Their Atlas 150 pasta machine ($229.95) is made from food-grade aluminium alloy (ensuring no heavy metals come into contact with the fresh pasta) in a manufacturing plant powered by 100 per cent renewable energy – and it carries a 10 year warranty.

2774 Copper Ravioli Tablet lifestyle

Features include 10 thickness levels for rolling the pasta, three pasta shapes (lasagne, fettucine and tagliolini), smooth action and an extremely stable benchtop clamp, as well as accessories such as a copper ravioli tray and rolling pin ($149.95).

2794 Copper Biscuitpress

For all the biscuit lovers out there, there’s the Biscuit press ($119.95): an ergonomically shaped cylinder that can create 20 different shapes in two sizes – small and large. Simply place the biscuit dough in the canister, slide in one of the biscuit die plates and press down on the lever, directly onto the baking tray (no baking paper required). One full cylinder of dough will produce 20-25 large biscuits and 34-40 small. Excuse me while I clean up my drool.

These copper beauties are available exclusively at David Jones.

Adam Cornish puts Australia on the global map at the New York Design Awards

Adam's Trinity bowl for Alessi

Melbourne designer Adam Cornish has taken out first prize in the homewares category at the prestigious 2014 New York Design Awards.

He won for his Trinity bowl, which was designed for Italian company Alessi. It’s based on the unique lightweight structure of the Nautilus shell.

“Each year the Nautilus adds an extra chamber to its shell, a process that eventually forms a beautiful spiraled structure that is strong yet very light in weight,” says Adam.“My aim was to create a hybrid product that was not only visually inspired by nature, but also a product that uses the inherent logic of nature.”

In conjunction with New York Design Week, Adam was among top leading industry experts who were selected to showcase their designs through the Alessi Research Lab. The workshop displayed a selection of projects and the related research developed around them; ranging from research in the working of metal wire by Pauline Deltour, LED lighting by Giovanni Alessi Anghini, and Adam’s nature observation based design.

The Trinity bowl is available from selected David Jones stores and Alessi.
