Brahaman Perera to Bring Efforless Luxury with the Champagne Bollinger Bar

There are partnerships that make perfect sense: caviar and McDonalds hash browns, Mary-Kate and Ashley, Champagne and art fairs. So, it was only a matter of time before Champagne Bollinger swept into Melbourne Art Fair as the official Champagne Partner. After all, all that art in one place can be overwhelming without a glass of fizz.

To mark the occasion, the ever-divine Brahman Perera, designer, ambassador, tastemaker, aesthete, is conjuring a Champagne Bar for Bollinger that promises to be part parlour, part hallucination. Expect brushed brass, soft velvet, and the faint suggestion that time has melted into fabric. Brahman, as always, moves with that impossible Melbourne poise: elegance with an air of mischief, restraint with a pulse.

Brahman has long been one of those people who makes beauty look accidental — the kind of elegance that doesn’t apologise for itself, just quietly orders another glass. Together, he and Bollinger aren’t just serving Champagne; they’re serving the fantasy of effortless perfection, with a twist of lemon and a subtle sense that you should’ve worn better shoes. Where every glass seems to refill itself and the room is full of good lighting and possibility.

So come, sip, and pretend (as we all do) that it’s just another perfectly ordinary Thursday in February.
