Konfekt – Winter 2025
As temperatures drop and the holidays draw near, Konfekt’s winter issue will be your sparkling companion through the colder months. From snow-dusted forays in Norway’s Lofoten and toboggan rides in the Swiss village of Grindelwald to a festive supper in Turin, our high-jewellery special offers plenty of covetable gift ideas and hosting tips for a luminous winter season.
Konfekt – Autumn 2025
As autumn beckons us back indoors, we settle into interiors full of characterful items with stories to tell and memories to evoke. Our inaugural collecting special explores the joys of surrounding yourself with loved objects; from an ode to the thrill of lifting a paddle at auction to a round-table of gallerists, advisors and antiquarians discussing why humans adore amassing things – our pages prove the psychological pull of collecting with purpose. Elsewhere, we’re drawn to the thermal waters of sunny Ischia and the wilds of Chile. Then, as part of our wellness guide, we journey to Tuscany, the Swiss Alps and the Yorkshire moors to find the best spas, pools and dipping spots. Plus: Swedish sartorial minimalism with flair, Thai recipes in Tbilisi and scouring flea markets in Baden-Württemberg.
Konfekt – Summer 2025
Our travel-themed issue offers long-reads and lots of sun-drenched escapism to inspire and inform the season’s journeys and adventures. From a whizz across Lake Zürich in a svelte runabout to a dive into the azure Adriatic after an epic train journey, the latest edition of Konfekt is an ode to those fresh and free aquatic moments that only summer can offer. We’ll tour the Polish lake district, check into a sculptural modernist motel in the Camargue and spend an afternoon in a Danish holiday cabin. Discover crafted garments in Mexico City, a sartorial homage to the riviera in St Tropez and the season’s most winning ensembles captured in our fashion report on the rooftops of Cairo. Expect enveloping reads for endless summer days; pull up a chair at a Neapolitan yacht club for a roundtable on geopolitics and the high seas; and be submerged into essays on Odyssean journeys and the history of swimwear.
Konfekt – Spring 2025
There's a vividness in the light and air of spring that ushers in a sense of renewal – be that in your wardrobe, your habits or your surroundings. The latest issue of Konfekt supports all those gentle refreshes: it's a design special that takes you on a tour of Malaysia's vernacular architecture as well as on a sunny cycle through Copenhagen with a glassware specialist. From the Venice Architecture Biennale to Salone del Mobile in Milan, there's lots to fill the calendar in the upcoming months. That's why we're diving into the liveliest debates in design – including discussing the role our senses should play in building planning. Of course, the leafy outdoors can be found on these pages, too: we join the cowgirls of Maremma for a ride through the Tuscan wilderness and serve lunch in the dappled shade of a Menorcan citrus grove. Plus: inventive Korean recipes, sparkling franciacorta on ice, crisp shirts for bright mornings in the Côte d'Azur and plenty more fashion highlights besides.

Spot the additional inner pocket, along with natural horn-tip buttons from a Jura artisan and a co-branded interior label.
