Last Friday night Absolut vodka gathered together a cutting-edge collective of New Zealand artists and designers, sculptors and photographers, jewellers and tattooists  - all briefed to do things differently with familiar media: wood, silver, skin, film, paper and paint. The results were unveiled at an exceptional event with outstanding cocktails.

To celebrate the launch of our second issue we threw a party at the head quarters of Rhubarb Lane. Once again our fantastic supporters Man O' War Vineyards and Steinlager Pure helped the celebrations along with their fabulous libations. And the good folks from the Ponsonby Road Bistro whipped up batches of their finest Mac n Cheese, all the perfect ingredients for an excellent knees up!
