NEW: SPECIAL EDITION

                   THE ALPS
     CIT Y GUIDE for DESIGN LOVERS

   The new Special Edition about THE ALPS presents an
   exclusive selection of the best boutique hotels, mountain
   huts and local restaurants as well as Alpine architecture
   – from France to Switzerland, Austria, Germany and Italy.
   The Alps not only provide a mood-boosting combination
   of summer-green and winter-blue space, but they also
   offer pure air, revitalising waters and the aesthetic
   pleasure of architectural masterpieces where
   sustainability goes hand in hand with wellness. Whether
   it is the energy-efficient Monte Rosa Hütte in the Valais
   with its photovoltaic system or the Ottmanngut in Meran,
   where antique furniture meets lime trees in a fairy tale
   garden, the Alps reflect design trends and provide ways
   for unwinding after work. When in these invigorating
   mountain surrounds, even a simple activity like eating
   cheese becomes a memorable experience – the taste
   and the texture of cheese is greatly enhanced by the air
   and the beauty. Culinary delicacies are celebrated with
   plenty of local ingredients, from berries to lamb and veal,
   arranged in dishes according to several themes from
   heavy French haute cuisine to healthy Mediterranean.

             BERLIN ED.2
   CIT Y GUIDE for DESIGN LOVERS

 Since the fall of the Wall, Berlin quickly emerged as
 one of the most cosmopolitan, creative and exciting
 cities in Europe for art, museums, architecture, history,
 and nightlife. From exhibitions and events, openings,
 and vernissages to open air festivals – there is always
 something happening in this city. While Berlin has
 always attracted visitors for its nightlife and modern
 art scene, a big movement over the past five years can
 be seen in Berlin’s booming food scene, thanks to an
 influence of international creative minds moving to the
 city. Berlin is the place in Germany, where food trends
 happen first. With a countless number of good bars,
 restaurants and cafes to choose from, this Berlin Guide
 will show you a curated selection of our favorite places
 to “sleep, eat, drink, shop and explore”. From cozy cafés
 and coffee roasters to restaurants with menus boasting
 products from local artisans and growers to Berlin’s
 most prestigious fashion shops hidden in a backyard, this
 guide will lead you away from the tourist hubs to some
 of Berlin’s hidden local gems.

    CIT Y GUIDE for DESIGN LOVERS

  Wer in Köln aufgewachsen ist oder dorthin gezogen ist,
  weiß: Köln ist nicht nur eine Stadt, Köln ist vor allem ein
  Gefühl. Es ist dieses einzigartige Gefühl aus fröhlicher
  Lebensart, Toleranz und Lebenslust, das keinen mehr
  los lässt. Das spiegelt sich auch in der kreativen Szene
  wieder. Angefangen bei den vielen Bars, Cafés und den
  13 Sterne-Restaurants die mit ihren vielfältigen und
  vor allem nachhaltigen kulinarischen Köstlichkeiten
  offenbar den Treibstoff für die Lebenslust liefern. Nicht
  umsonst ist Kölsch die einzige Sprache, die man trinken
  kann. Mit der Möbelmesse zieht die Domstadt nicht nur
  professionelle Architekten und Designer an, sondern
  auch internationale Lifestyle- und designinteressierte,
  die sich hier inspirieren lassen. Als eine der führenden
  Kunst- und Kulturstädte in Europa vereint Köln alles, was
  urbanes Lebensgefühl ausmacht. Ob Halver Hahn, vegane
  Bowls oder Entenleberpastete mit Gewürtraminergelee,
  Köln ist eine Stadt voller Spitzenqualität, herzlich und
  authentisch, ohne viel Chichi.

MIL AN
  CIT Y GUIDE for DESIGN LOVERS

Lately, the Italian design capital has been mentioned
with the word “renaissance”, describing a shift. Milan is
more than a Fashion and Design destination. It is the
“place to be” for the European culinary scene. Besides
the classical trattoria (serving spaghetti and ‘80s salads),
Milan offers a selection of sophisticated dining locations,
always ready to host stylish guests during Fashion
Week. In every way, Milan is not afraid to experiment,
and while the city has certainly embraced each and
every food trend, from ethnic hybridization to the brunch
and gourmet fast-food obsessions, it never lost sight of
its original vocation for great, timeless cuisine. That’s why
the Milanese restaurant scene can be relied on for the
three major ingredients: tradition, innovation and nobility.
Milan is the home of world-renowned brands like Prada,
Armani and Versace, and today this legacy goes further.
Modern architectural projects have transformed the
cityscape with a contemporary touch. Considering that
2019 marks 500 years since the death of Leonardo da
Vinci, there has never been a better time to visit this
Northern Italy metropolis.

PALMA

Excellent restaurants, vibrant Tapas Bars, cozy beach
and city cafés, glamorous boutique hotels, rich in history,
and splendid beaches with crystal clear water - Palma
has the benefits of both a traditional, yet modern and
vibrant city and a striking seafront location. An explosion
of new trendy places during the last years changed the
so-called ‘pearl of the Mediterranean’ considerably and
makes it more beautiful today than ever. Yet, despite the
modernity, the Mediterranean flair can still be felt in
every corner.
This Palma Guide will show you a curated selection of
our favorite places to “sleep, eat, drink, shop and explore”.
From cozy coffeeshops, where young, trendy people sip
their lattes, local Tapas Bars and internationally acclaimed
gourmet restaurants, to some of the most beautiful Finca
retreats, this guide will lead you away from the tourist
hubs to some of Palma’s hidden local gems.

PARIS
  CIT Y GUIDE for DESIGN LOVERS

Poets, artists, and writers have all written about their
love of Paris. It’s hard not to fall in love with this city – a
place of elegance, sophistication and style. Paris is the
home of haute couture and exquisite cuisine. In fact, the
art of French cooking owes its success to the mastery of
classic basics updated by today’s chefs. It’s known that
the French prefer quality to quantity, especially when it
comes to food. And the glimmering Seine with its elegant
bridges has arguably made Paris the most recognisable
and romanticised cityscape in the world.
Paris holds hundreds of years of history – of monarchy,
revolution, revolt and artistic innovation – and at the
same time, Paris radiates with increasingly futuristic
architecture and lifestyle concepts. In 2024 Paris will
show a new vision of Olympism in action, celebrating its
unique spirit of old and new, and everything in between.
Spending long afternoons getting lost in the Louvre
or exploring the Musée d‘Orsay are possible as well
as discovering plenty of contemporary life in the less
tourist-trodden outer arrondissements.

RE YK JAVIK
  CIT Y GUIDE for DESIGN LOVERS

Everyone has heard of Iceland’s dramatic nature -
glaciers right next to active volcanoes, bubbling geysers
and hot springs, black lava beaches and the graceful
dancing Northern Lights every visitor secretly hopes
to see. With the dramatic rise of tourism, Iceland has
quietly gained a worldwide reputation for its surprisingly
dynamic food scene. Foodies in Reykjavik will find plenty
of restaurants serving traditional ingredients in a creative,
new way. While Iceland used to be a seemingly remote
island of isolation, it has turned into an international hot
spot. If you’re planning on spending time in Reykjavík,
you’ll be easily seduced by its exciting food and drink
scene, Nordic architecture and the pop art scene, as well
as the vibrant nightlife that shows how different this city
is to anywhere else in the world.
From local coffee roasters and Iceland’s first Michelin-
star restaurant, to Iceland’s iconic fashion and design
companies, this guide will show you a curated selection
of our favourite places to “sleep, eat, drink, shop and
explore” in Reykjavík - the world’s most northerly capital.

STOCKHOLM
  CIT Y GUIDE for DESIGN LOVERS

Sweden is one of the happiest countries in the world and
Stockholm is Scandinavia’s undisputed capital of cool
and style. Design is not a luxury, it‘s a right. The coffee
culture, the world-class fine-dining scene, and award-
winning design of innovative and functional buildings all
make the city a popular place to visit. An ever-growing
awareness of sustainable and ethical lifestyle practices
has given rise to a conscious-driven society that seems
centuries ahead of others. Sweden’s flexible approach to
working hours is also one reason why Stockholm was
recently ranked best in the world for work-life balance.
Stockholm is not known for its warmth, however, in
summer, the days are long and the Nordic sunsets are
spectacular. Stockholmers are savvy and they know
how to make the most of their city; and with some insider
tips, so will you.

TBILISI
  CIT Y GUIDE for DESIGN LOVERS

Enchanting courtyards, Moorish facades, churches and
temples. Gothic motifs merged with Art Nouveau and
stylised Medieval Georgian architectural decor. And,
Soviet heritage adds yet another aspect of architectural
design. Tbilisi is characterised by many styles and it’s
no wonder: in the Georgian capital, the most diverse
cultures crossed – and, over the centuries, the Caucasian
metropolis was reinvented again and again. These
multicultural influences have shaped Tbilisi. Persians,
Arabs, Turks, Mongols and Russians instilled a bit of their
culture and, in 1817, a small German community from
Swabia also lived in the area. If one were unknowingly
exposed to the capital, one probably would not know
where on earth one is at all.
Nowadays some call Tbilisi “The Asian Paris”, some “The
next Berlin”. But, there is currently a spirit of departure
from the old and a fierce subconscious drive to create
new trends, style and culture. Today, the Georgian
capital is also regarded as one of the emerging fashion
heartlands. Since 2015, Tbilisi has its own Fashion Week
filled with a lot of cool flair. There are many reasons to
visit Tbilisi – whether budget or luxury, action or art,
cultural or culinary experiences, Tbilisi has it all.
