Masterful craftsmanship and unmistakable designs: This is what the Austrian furniture manufacturer Wittmann stands for. In spring the brand presents great new products. These are already available in the concept:space in the stilwerk Hamburg - exclusively and before the official launch in April at the Salone del Mobile in Milan. We introduce them. Wittmann is launching five new designs this spring: a re-edition of a classic from 1971, something new by Sebastian Herkner, two extraordinary armchairs and a dining table that invites you to an extensive dinner. ATRIUM. A CLASSIC RETHINKED. A factory design from 1971 reflects today's zeitgeist more than ever: modular and can be converted from a sofa to a bed in no time. That's exactly the reason to revive this design. "Conceived in the 1970s as a living area that was based on cubic shapes - which was contemporary at the time - ATRIUM also fits stylistically perfectly with the feel-good ideas of the 21st century: high-quality material on the inside with a well-thought-out structure, casual, soft and inviting on the outside," says Alice Wittmann . The sofa is available in leather or fabric in various colors. BUN. UNDERSTATEMENT IN THE BEST WAY. With BUN, the Italian designer Federica Biasi has created a swivel lounge chair that appears calm and yet remains memorable: thanks to masterful workmanship, balanced proportions and fine materials. A typical Wittmann. The designer herself puts it in a nutshell: “The art of simplification is anything but easy.” Federica Biasi JOSEPH AND ADELE Two pieces of furniture, one designer: The French designer Philippe Nigro expands the Wittmann collection with JOSPEH and ADÈLE to include a club armchair and a dining table. Both designs that fit the brand in their formal sophistication. What catches the eye with JOSEPH is the quilted cover, which was created based on goldsmith's objects from the Secession. With ADELE, it's the details that make it decorative and special: the inwardly sloping frame is decorated with a frieze of finely milled notches using elaborate carpentry work. An ornament that, in its reserved form, enriches the reduced table and at the same time fits into Austria's design history as a traditional design element. “Wittmann conducts a dialogue with the past and at the same time looks to the future. This ability is inspiring,” says Philippe Nigro about the collaboration. MORTON From dining chair to small armchair: Sebastian Herkner has developed MORTON, a compact armchair version of his chair of the same name. Well-proportioned and with a high level of seating comfort, this flexible armchair can be integrated into all areas of living and working.

Whether remotely, on site or from home - the desire for individual design of the workplace is greater than ever. Particularly relevant here: the integration of the office into the home. We have compiled a list here of which stores in our destinations have the right designs. The world is changing rapidly. Between digitalization and globalization, the world of work is also changing. Along the term “New Work”, coined by Austrian-American philosopher Frithjof Bergmann, who developed a counter-model to traditional wage work in the 1970s, classical processes are being reconsidered t._11100000 -0000-0000-0000-000000000111_More and more flexible Working time models are emerging, conventional_1110000 0-0000-0000-0000-000000000111_Hierarchies are dissolved and kreative_11100000-0000- 0000-0000-000000000111_Working methods and modern technologies find their way into everyday work. So it's no wonder that the "War for Talents", the fight for good employees, is driving more and more employers to strive for a higher job attractiveness and, in addition to alternative time models, numerous benefits, new work concepts and incentives, above all, to think about the space - i.e. the actual workplace - in a new and freer way.

How is the art world changing? Six people, six statements. Compiled by Bettina Krause in the stilwerk magazine “ReFraming”. I would like to see more realness in the art world, even if it hurts everyone involved. Kristina Schuldt, painter “ The art of the future will continue to speak a universal language that many people can access without speaking the same language. The artistic reflection of our world and society will become increasingly important as a parallel level.” Rosa Barba, video artist “The art market has so far been a conservative industry with progressive content, but in recent years there has been a spirit of optimism like never before. This is due, among other things, to the switch to online activities, rising inflation and the fact that collectors have spent more time at home during the pandemic and so their awareness of art has become even greater . People are just beginning to understand the usefulness of NFTs in terms of digital art, but also fractional ownership. This trend will accelerate in the future.” Johann König, gallery owner "In times like these, when many things seem incomprehensible, we need the voices of artists more than ever. They get involved, question, take up current topics and open up new perspectives. The role of art as a mediator for society continue to gain in importance." Maike Cruse, director of Gallery Weekend Berlin “An essential dimension of art that distinguishes it from other, more empirically oriented sciences is the recognition of the constructive power of doubt and uncertainty. This is important because society today faces not only the colossal threat of Earth system collapse in the form of the climate crisis, but also a crisis of imagination. The openness inherent in art - the willingness to go beyond social boundaries and create unusual connections - can be seen as a tool for overcoming the immense and abstract challenges that lie before us. Julian Charrière, artist “Future-oriented art wants to have a direct impact on society, not just behind museum walls. She is politically and socially committed, focuses on diversity and tries to be open to everyone.” Elke Buhr Editor-in-Chief of Monopol Magazine

Multifaceted holiday destination on the US east coast The picturesque landscapes of the Blue Ridge Mountains © Visit VBR From the picturesque landscapes of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the countless water sports activities on the Chesapeake Bay, the capital region on the US east coast has a lot to offer for a varied US vacation. In the middle of it all lies the American capital Washington, DC. Anyone who thinks that everything here is just about politics is completely wrong. The National Mall is lined with impressive monuments, first-class museums and buildings such as the White House and the US Capitol, which you otherwise only know from television. Lively city districts - some of which enchant with a relaxed waterfront - invite visitors to go shopping, enjoy culinary delights in 28 Michelin-starred restaurants and a lively nightlife with wonderful views from the numerous rooftop bars. If you've had enough of the big city air, rent a car and go on a road trip through the neighboring states of Maryland and Virginia - two cities should definitely be on the program.

Charlottesville: Wine enjoyment at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains The state of Virginia impresses with its diverse landscape, from the mountains to the coast, as well as with almost 400 wineries that invite visitors to enjoy delicious tastings.
