Konfekt preview: Issue 14

Let the fresh air in – Konfekt’s spring issue is here to celebrate the promise of the new season. From a Belgian tree-grower to a bonsai master in Kyoto and a lush gardening shop in Vienna, our inaugural horticulture special will plant some bright ideas on how leafy additions can improve your surroundings – and your approach.

Your chic companion

Konfekt is a clever, elegant quarterly magazine launched in 2020 by the creators of Monocle. Edited between Zürich and London, and printed in Germany, it is a deep dive into the worlds of fashion, craft, travel and design.

With a focus on unhurried reportage - and plenty of long, lingering suppers and brisk reviving swims - Konfekt is a celebration of spirited hosts and hikes in the wilds and beautiful things made well.

Each issue is brimming with inspiring travel itineraries, tasty recipes and chic seasonal looks.

Keep up to date with all things Konfekt via our equally joyful newsletter and monthly podcast.

With good humour, an exacting eye and a brave spirit, Konfekt celebrates a chic, understated glamour.

Cabaret on rails, smoke sauna and the alchemy of scent

This episode of Konfekt Korner explores themes of early spring and its sense of vernal opportunity. We spend four hours in a hotbox being rubbed with ashes and honey to report on Estonian sauna culture, hop on board a historic British Pullman to join the riotous Carriage Club and explore the world of perfumery at L’Oreal’s The Art & Science of Fragrance festival in Paris. Plus: we reflect on the power of owning your own look in the fashion set.
