In this richly layered episode of Konfekt Korner, host Sophie Grove explores the intersections of art, food, and sensory experience across three compelling stories. First, she delves into composer Max Richter’s groundbreaking collaboration with Krug Champagne, where he translated the terroir, time, and taste of three 2008 Cuvées into a musical journey titled 'Krug from soloist to orchestra Act II.' Richter shares how immersive tastings and the emotional resonance of place shaped his compositions, creating a deeply personal and transportive sonic experience. Next, the focus shifts to East London’s new culinary gem, Tiella Trattoria and Bar, co-founded by Kiwi-Italian chef Dara Klein. Klein’s passion for Puglian heritage and home cooking shines through in her authentic, character-filled restaurant and her beloved brodo—a slow-simmered, soulful broth that anchors her menu. Finally, the episode highlights Jasmine Cozy’s eponymous fashion label and her digital magazine, Irma’s World, an illustrated universe centered on the fictional yet deeply personal character Irma. Through storytelling, illustration, and a commitment to handmade, demand-driven fashion, Cozy champions timeless elegance and mindful living in a casual age. Together, these narratives celebrate craftsmanship, memory, and the power of sensory artistry to connect us to place, people, and self.
Music can be a profound medium for translating sensory experiences like taste and terroir, as demonstrated by Max Richter’s collaboration with Krug Champagne.
Authenticity in food and design comes from personal history and handmade, intentional creation—seen in Dara Klein’s Puglian-inspired brodo and Tiella Trattoria’s curated interiors.
The fictional character Irma, created by Jasmine Cozy, embodies a curated life of elegance, observation, and storytelling, serving as a bridge between fashion, art, and daily living.
Sustainability in fashion can be redefined through demand-based, handmade production, which elevates the value of each garment and fosters deeper connection with the wearer.
The home has evolved into a personal gallery of lived experience, where casual hospitality and thoughtful design create meaningful moments.
The Art of Sensory Translation: Max Richter and Krug
“I really felt I sort of recognized a lot of that from my own world. It was not always about me. It's not a diary. One could say maybe I would like to be like Irma or I would like to share some parts of Irma's life.”
Tiella Trattoria: A Love Letter to Puglian Heritage
“I feel Pugliese, so this pasta just reminds me, I think, of who I am.”
Irma’s World: The Fictional Muse of Fashion and Storytelling
“I think the more you know, only then you can decide what you can add or delete, whether it's personal style or whether it's relationships or whether it's about how you live, your house, anything. So it's all about knowledge.”
The Cultural Tapestry of Design, Food, and Memory
The episode concludes with reflections on how personal history, craftsmanship, and sensory experience converge in contemporary art, fashion, and food. From the meditative power of music to the soul of a slow-simmered broth and the curated elegance of a fictional life, the stories affirm the enduring value of intentionality and beauty in everyday life.
