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.
