When a meeting becomes a moment of design: Two outdoor personalities shaped by one shared idea

Yes, the view of St Stephen’s Cathedral from up here is breathtaking. The view inside the penthouse flat is no less heavenly: the Haute—Étage designed by Mezza—Maiso is a perfect example of what the interdisciplinary office of Verena Wohlkönig and Jürgen Hamberger understands by interior design. Not just the design of a living space, but the realisation of a holistic narrative. In other words, a curated total work of art that is realised at the highest level from the first draft to the last fragrance note.

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. Their approach goes far beyond mere design—they create connections between design, art, architecture, and curatorial concepts. A prime example is their staging of the limited edition Gropius Lounge Chair: a photo series that blurs the line between art and design.
