Custodian of the Vision
Invocation
Angela Tunner
Founding Custodian, The Viremoore Foundation
For more than four decades, Angela Tunner has lived at the intersection of refinement, cultural guardianship, and the quiet shaping of sensibilities. Long before the world encountered her work publicly, she was developing a philosophy of luxury rooted not in display, but in essence — a worldview cultivated privately since the 1980s through study, observation, and a lifelong devotion to beauty, lineage, and meaning.
Her early career bridged publishing, experiential design, fine dining restaurant ownership & management, and the creation of dignified spaces for intellectual and aesthetic exchange. These invisible years — formative, disciplined, and deeply intentional — became the subterranean strata from which her later work emerged.
In 2010, she founded EAT LOVE SAVOR® Luxury, the internationally recognised publication that challenged the commercial narrative of luxury and repositioned it as an inner cultivation. For over a decade, its editorial legacy offered a counter-current to a world of acceleration. Today, its archive is preserved within The Viremoore Foundation as a cultural artefact of timeless thought.
The Foundation is the natural continuation of a life’s philosophy. As Founding Custodian, she serves not as an executive, but as a cultural sentinel — the steward of ethos, protector of essence, and guardian of a legacy designed to outlive her. Her role is defined by discernment, restraint, and a commitment to ensuring the Foundation remains untouched by commercial dilution.
She devotes her presence entirely to the quiet work of cultural stewardship—engaging in private dialogue, guiding the Foundation’s philosophical direction, and cultivating relationships grounded in trust, lineage, and long-term meaning. Her influence is expressed not through visibility, but through discernment: shaping an institution built on reverence, continuity, and a standard of quiet intellectual leadership designed to endure for generations.
Her work, her bearing, and her life’s path reflect a singular truth: She was not made for the noise of the world, but for the preservation of what must endure.
Custodian's Origin Statement
Most people know their origins from the stories told around the dining table, in family gatherings, and through the rituals of their lineage. That has not been my path. I know the cost of cultural loss. I have often wondered whether my reverence for heritage began in the silence of what I did not receive. To grow up without a visible thread of one’s own lineage is to feel—indelibly and in a way that is difficult to name—the magnitude of what memory grants: direction, belonging, inward coherence, and a sense of one’s place in the world. When the chain of transmission is broken, the world tilts slightly; one senses an absence no object can fill. In time, one learns that heritage, whether personal or civilisational, is not an ornament of the past but a vital root system for the soul, binding us to a story greater than our own. I know, and feel to my core, why familial knowledge and stories are so precious. It is why I have devoted my life to ensuring that such absence does not befall others.

Thoughts from the Founder In Three Thematic Chapters
I. The Inheritance of Meaning
I was shaped by a world in which certain values could not be bought — only lived. From the grace of a gesture to the rituals that mark life’s quiet passages, meaning was not ornament; it was the foundation. The Viremoore Foundation was born to ensure that such meaning endures.
II. The Castle Within
Luxury, in its truest form, is the harmony between artefact and essence — between what can be touched and what must be felt. It is a castle built of stone and spirit. This is the architecture I defend.
III. An Oath to Custodianship
I have sworn to safeguard the intangible treasures entrusted to us — those whose worth lies beyond commerce. This work is not mine alone; it belongs to those who recognise the call to preserve, protect, and pass forward what is rare and real.
