KONFEKT - Issue 17

Edited between Zürich and London, and printed in Germany, it is a rich, sumptuous quarterly publication covering fashion, travel, design, drinking, dining and culture in both English and German.

With good humour, an exacting eye and a brave spirit, Konfekt celebrates a chic, understated glamour, seeks out lesser-known stories and opens closed doors. It’s an ebullient host, a mountain trek, a winter spin on a handsome bike and even a leap into an icy lake (with the promise of a warming Reisetbauer eau de vie).

Edited by Monocle magazine’s senior editor and former Paris editor Sophie Grove and with Marcela Palek as style director, Konfekt also calls on a roster of leading journalists, thinkers and photographers from Germany, Switzerland, France and beyond. Konfekt offers an authoritative voice with wit, wisdom and just the right amount of warmth and wonder.

In this issue:

Crisp sunny days call for gloves and soft knits; cosy evenings for cheerful hosting and long reads. Konfekt’s latest issue will deliver on both fronts: it’s our ode to winter style, packed with festive inspiration and expansive, high-altitude reportage.

Follow us on snowy forays to the Alpine village best known for sledging and promenading with white goats, and allow us to recommend the spots where you can stock up on presents from Copenhagen and Kyoto to Dresden. Our resplendent jewellery special will provide plenty of covetable gift ideas too, as well as a chance to reflect on the world of craft, design, goldsmithing and gemmology.

From a wooden chalet in Oslo to a Tbilisi bolthole and a modernist opera house in Turin, we take a tour of sumptuous interiors and recommend recipes, robust reds and musical soundtracks for a season of parties and soirées.
