Hart & Co. has celebrated the official launch of the Miele brand in its Osborne Park showroom with an exclusive event for Perth’s leading designers, architects and boutique developers.
The event paid homage to Miele’s German heritage through a gastronomic experience inspired by German cuisine. Olio’s Catering curated the cocktail menu including two activations – fermentation and pickling: an ancient to modern German cuisine interactive station and live spit roast station complemented with German beer tastings.
