Marcon Fit Out

Marcon collaborated with KANDOBLANC to create a bespoke plinth for the Maison’s inaugural object, AGA, unveiled at the prestigious Distiller’s One of One auction.

KANDOBLANC was founded by the visionary master blender, Dhavall Gandhi, to celebrate the confluence of contemporary art and whisky. They are committed to working with extraordinary craftsmen and ateliers from around the world to create unique timeless objects.

Working with DKG, Marcon brought their specialist joinery and solid surface expertise and precision engineering to ensure the plinth for this one-of-a-kind object was crafted to the highest standards.

The bespoke plinth seamlessly marries modern aesthetics with traditional elements. It was handcrafted in Corian and a solid walnut base with a CNC circular surface design, with solid brass details and signage inlays.  The engraved intricate metal brass accents add a touch of opulence to the overall design.

AGA was unveiled in October this year at the Distillers One of One Charity Auction organised by the Distillers Charity and Sotheby’s. The event was organised to auction unique Scotch whiskies and experiences, raising funds for various youth charities in Scotland.  The competitive bidding resulted in KANDOBLANC selling AGA for $54,000, setting a new world record for the most expensive debut Scotch whisky ever sold from a new brand.

Dhavall Gandhi CEO & Artistic Director at KANDOBLANC commented: “My vision is to celebrate the interconnectedness of everything by creating exquisite objects marrying contemporary art and precious old whiskies. I would like to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation for Marcon’s invaluable support & expertise in helping me bring by vision for AGA to reality.

Contracts Manager at Marcon Fit-Out, Lorcan Hegarty continued: “it was fantastic to work with KANDOBLANC and DKG, to create this unique piece. This project sets a new standard for bespoke whisky accessories created by us, and we look forward to working with Dhavall & team in future.”
