Konfekt, Issue 22 – Summer 2026

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:

Our summer issue is packed full of roadtrips, holiday style and inspiring beach reads for a sun-soaked season. We sail around the Finnish archipelago with a designer and play tennis on the French Riviera. There’s a chance to meet a new order of creatives redefining Malta’s design and hospitality scene, and dip in the country’s azure Mediterranean waters. Pull up a chair in the dappled shade for a long, absorbing roundtable on the allure and power of island life, which takes place next to an 18th-century windmill in Hydra, Greece. The issue is a celebration of the freedom and beachy escapism found in high summer. We’ll introduce you to the Sicilian family business pioneering chic minimalist garments and drop in to Madrid’s most elegant multibrand shop for a lesson on hot-weather dressing. Our travel special will take you to inimitable homes on the Aeolian archipelago and to a glorious garden in the Balearics. Plus: dreamy recipes in a Mallorcan garden and Konfekt’s signature cocktails for summer entertaining.
