Querkraft architects from vienna are the creative minds behind the austrian pavilion at the expo in dubai. We spoke to owner and partner Gerd Erhartt about what makes a life successful expo appearance, the climate concepts of the future and the importance of emotional connection in designing a more sustainable future.

In her collections, Nynne Kunde brings together craftsmanship, exaggerated silhouettes and Scandinavian minimalism. The recurring theme is female empowerment: with her sustainable pieces, the designer endeavours to empower women to leave fleeting trends behind them and instead opt for individual combinations that stand out and embolden the wearer.
