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.

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.
