Fill a table with creative people and you'll get more than just good conversation.
Earlier this year, in a mission to ignite inspiration and collaboration and launch our ingenious global community, we invited creative minds to gather on Jura - from the world's best bartenders to an urban farmer, sign painter, coffee roaster and perfumier - to meet on our island home and see what sparked.
