Konfekt – Spring 2026
Our breezy spring issue is an ode to seasonal rebirth and the sense of possibility carried by fresh zephyrs. It’s a homage to the transformational power of thought-out design: from the verdant region of Garrotxa in the north of Catalonia to Sardinia’s resplendent Costa Smeralda, our architectural tours drop into inns and residences that embrace and enhance the landscape around them. A leafy spirit suffuses all pages: Milanese experts assemble for a lively debate on what designers can learn from nature ahead of Salone del Mobile, while our horticulture special celebrates pioneers in plants and beyond. Plus: Lunch in a Californian modernist cabin, Congolese recipes in Paris and colourful looks fit for Barcelona’s Gaudí masterpieces.
