If you are looking for the ultimate experience and want to reach the pinnacle of relaxation, you should definitely enter today to win three nights for two including breakfast.
THE Stylemate
Today’s door number 6 opens with a soft creak. It takes us to the medieval village of Scheggino in Umbria. Here in the Torre del Nera, an ‘Albergo Diffuso’ awaits us, a hotel whose rooms and premises are harmoniously distributed throughout the village. Win a night for magical moments.
Cheers and santé to the person who will win the sparkling treat behind door number 5. Today we are giving away two exceptional bottles of champagne – 1 Penfolds Champagne Cuvée Brut NV and 1 x Penfolds Champagne Brut Rosé – from Australian winemaker Penfolds, created in collaboration with French champagne producer Thiénot.
The yellow corner house with its two stone turrets and rustic wooden construction could have come straight out of a fairytale book. I wonder what might be here? Let’s open door number 4 and find out. Today’s prize includes three nights for two people at the Aparthotel Torri di Seefeld.
Transporting Christmas presents by bike? Yes U con. All you need in addition to your cycle is a pannier bag or a rucksack. Or something that combines both. For example, the Jannik Pannier Backpack from Ucon Acrobatics, which is hiding behind door number 3 today in size M and in the colour black.
How would you paint clouds? Soft and airy or dark and thundery? Abstract, impressionistic or surreal? Blue, colourful or even colourless? With the Cloud carpet, Harald Geba from the carpet manufacturer of the same name in Graz brings his very own idea of the natural phenomenon to the floor. The 90 x 60 cm dream piece is hiding behind door number 2 today.
Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Today it smells of juniper, birch leaves and earthy moss. With the scent of the forest, we are getting into the olfactory mood for the Advent season and taking the first step gently and quietly towards Christmas. Hidden behind door number 1 is a Waldmeister Body Special Set from Alpienne with the power of the Tyrolean forests.
Imagine walking into a room full of building blocks, vivid colours and joyful music. What do you feel? A sense of lightness, perhaps a small tingle of anticipation? Or do you just think: Right, where shall I start with all this?
Maybe just allow your imagination to run wild and use them to build a house? After all, playing isn’t just for children. Play is also a valuable resource in our adult lives, but it’s so easily forgotten among all the pressure and stress.
There has been a lot of discussion since AI was made available to everyone in the form of ChatGPT and Midjourney. Is AI intelligent? Have people had their time as a thinking, creative being? What is authentically experienced and felt, and what is just simulated? And how can we tell the difference? Many questions that inspired us to dedicate the latest issue of Stylemate to the topic of AI…
Luisa Scheffler’s label BEMENTI is just that. Made out of prickly pear, she designs vegan and sustainable bags that look just as good as genuine leather. We met up with her and asked about her vision of the sustainable future of shopping…
Where does the world flourish? How far into the future do you have to look if you want to know how the world evolves?
Our future seems more uncertain than ever, and even harder to predict. The small-scale way to look at it is in terms of what the winter will bring for tourism, while the broader question is a matter of considering the climate crisis. That’s why we’ve made the future the topic of this issue of THE Stylemate …
In our last issue, we used this page to write about our hopes and dreams for the future. We were somewhat hopeful that the next time we came to write this passage, we would be a bit closer to reaching them than where we find ourselves now. But where are we, actually?
And it is to adventure (“fancy adventures”) that this edition of THE Stylemate is dedicated on 40 pages. Where can we find adventure today, when it seems as if we hav already seen and experienced everything. We believe the answer is: everywhere.
