Konfekt, Issue 13 – Spring 2024

Konfekt is a magazine for Sharp Dressing, Drinking, Dining, Travel and Design from the creators of Monocle.

Edited between Zürich and London, and printed in Germany, it is a rich, sumptuous quarterly publication covering fashion, travel, design, drinking, dining and culture in both English and German.

With good humour, an exacting eye and a brave spirit, Konfekt celebrates a chic, understated glamour, seeks out lesser-known stories and opens closed doors. It’s an ebullient host, a mountain trek, a winter spin on a handsome bike and even a leap into an icy lake (with the promise of a warming Reisetbauer eau de vie).

Edited by Monocle magazine’s senior editor and former Paris editor Sophie Grove and with Marcela Palek as style director, Konfekt also calls on a roster of leading journalists, thinkers and photographers from Germany, Switzerland, France and beyond. Konfekt offers an authoritative voice with wit, wisdom and just the right amount of warmth and wonder.

In this issue:
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. Come with us on architecturally minded roadtrips through the volcanic island of Lanzarote and the tropical forests of Sri Lanka; from a modernist Alpine chalet to a minimalist Danish hut – via lunch with the doyenne of Milan’s Salone del Mobile – our design special is packed with fresh dispatches. Be it in the crisp cotton of our fashion picks or the zing of Turkish recipes with a twist, there’s plenty in these pages to inspire a sprightly seasonal reset.
