Tiles made from coconut shells and bamboo beds with red feet? Some projects are a first even for a company with 90 years of experience. For example, the furnishing of the recently opened Bikini Island und Mountain Hotels Es Trenc in Mallorca.

Mezza—Maiso excels at building bridges between disciplines. This is demonstrated by the team led by Verena Wohlkönig and Jürgen Hamberger in their interior design projects as well as in the curation of their collectibles.

A prime example is their staging of the limited edition Gropius Lounge Chair: a photo series that blurs the line between art and design.

Door number 14 opens gently and leads quietly into a room of silence, where Scandinavian design philosophies meet Japanese wisdom. The Danish Norm Architects have been studying the Far East for a long time and have incorporated their findings into numerous projects. Together with Gestalten Verlag, they have published Stillness, a book that we are giving away at the quietest time of the year.
