Fit for a King: Vincent Jenden Reimagines
The Johnston Collection has been reimagined to celebrate the much-anticipated Australian Royal Tour by King Charles III and Queen Camilla, and the accession of King Frederik X and Queen Mary of Denmark. The interiors of historic East Melbourne townhouse, Fairhall, have been theatrically designed by guest curator Vincent Jenden.
Taking centre stage is a glamorous evening banquet set with Georgian glassware and a glittering array of important silver from The Roger Brookes Bequest. Champagne is on ice, a State Bedroom has been prepared, and treasures of British and European fine and decorative arts from The Johnston Collection have been carefully placed throughout the house in anticipation of the royal visitors.
Interior designer Vincent Jenden has a passion for cleverly combining old with new. His creative re-arrangement blends contemporary styling with beautiful objects from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries to evoke a sumptuous sense of occasion Fit for a King.
