Konfekt preview: Issue 15

OUR SUNNY SUMMER ISSUE IS OUT NOW


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.

Purveyors of colour, art deco jewellery and utopia

This episode reflects how early summer days are full of promise. We meet Swiss born Kia Schwaninger, whose jewellery collection is inspired by the art deco architecture of Miami, sit down with Sudanese-Dutch musician Gaidaa in Amsterdam and discuss colour and the meaning of home with purveyor and creator of paint Cassandra Ellis. Plus: historian Hiba Alobaydi explores the legacy of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon in today’s cities.
