INSPIRATION FROM AROUND THE WORLD FOR AN AESTHETIC AND MEANINGFUL LIFESTYLE
Saluting the sun comes naturally at Puradies – the high plateau is one of the sunniest places in Leogang. Yoga is just one of the many heavenly activities you’ll find here. It not only stretches and strengthens the body, but also lifts the soul to new heights, which comes as no surprise, being this close to paradise.
Fashion often dwells on appearances. But not SACAI. The Japanese label breaks conventions, fuses opposites, and creates something radically original. At the center of this creative force is Chitose Abe, a designer who doesn’t just design clothes — she reshapes the way we think about them.
Some places have a memory. The 1477 Reichhalter in Lana is one of them. First mentioned over 500 years ago, it has lived many lives: as an inn, a sawmill, a mill, and a butcher’s shop. Then, for a decade, silence. Its doors remained closed while life passed by until someone took a closer look, and brought it back to life.
With over 35 years at the forefront of fashion, UNDERCOVER fuses the raw power of punk culture with avant-garde aesthetics and masterful craftsmanship. At the heart of it all is Jun Takahashi – a designer whose creative philosophy, “making art, not clothes,” defines the brand’s USP: clothing as a visual and cultural signal – a pleasant noise in everyday life.
The Mercado Nicolás Bravo is more than just a market in multiple ways. Designed by AIDIA STUDIO, the project is a social initiative that provides the local community with a platform to showcase their craftsmanship and skills. At the same time, it impresses as a striking piece of architecture.
Those who find themselves surrounded by greenery often feel it instinctively: this is where I belong. As the harmonious center of the color spectrum, green unites the calming power of blue with the energy of yellow. It symbolizes nature, soothes the mind, and at the same time inspires inner growth. If longevity had a color, it would likely be green.
The Singapore Botanic Gardens are not only a UNESCO World Heritage Site, but also home to an architectural showcase: the National Orchid Garden, recently redesigned by Henning Larsen and CPG Consultants Pte Ltd, now serves as a fitting home for over 1,000 species of orchids.
