Konfekt #18

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.
