Inspiration from around the world for an aesthetic and mindful lifestyle
The new issue of THE Stylemate invites you to explore the invisible threads that subtly connect people, cultures and ideas. On 40 large-format pages (A3), you’ll find a carefully curated mix of philosophy, art, design, travel, and lived mindfulness.
In a world full of contrasts, rapid change, and constant movement, we seek something that remains—a connection that ties everything together. THE Stylemate Issue No. 01 | 2025 is titled “The Invisible Thread” and explores these unseen links between people, cultures, and ideas. How are we all interwoven? Which places and experiences reveal deeper connections?
Today we’re tying up the sack. On the last day of our Advent calendar, we’re making ourselves cosy once again and giving away the Cobana lounge chair with pouf from SACKit. With door number 24, we wish you a Merry Christmas!
Today we find tracks in the snow. When it’s winter in Seefeld, you can see the imprints of boots, cross-country skis, toboggans and alpacas on the ground. And after the many outdoor activities, we retire to the Chalet & Apartment AlpenParks Alpina Seefeld with the prize behind door number 23: three nights for two including breakfast.
Let it go! Two days before Christmas, it’s time to relax. With door number 22, we breathe in the fresh South Tyrolean mountain air, float in the clear pool and gaze at the small village church. Between vineyards and apple trees, we find our inner centre with a meditative Om. Today you can win a 50% voucher for a two-day stay for two at the Hotel Schwarzschmied.
There are three days left until Christmas and three letters are hidden behind door number 21. What does REN mean? No, it’s not the Scandinavian Christmas animal, but a drinking bottle from LARS NYSØM, which you can win today.
Keep a cool head? A must, four days before Christmas. How about a dip in the cold water, for example, just as they do in the Nordic countries. And then wrap yourself up in a towel, or rather in the KAFTAN(EN) from HELGABAD, which you can win today with door number 20!
Door number 19 takes us to Kitzbühel, where alpine traditions are combined with luxury. The right outfit for the piste is perhaps a little more important here than in other ski resorts. And what could be more fitting than the jackets from Sportalm, two of which you can win today?
With door number 18, the moon rises over the ochre-coloured, ivy-covered villa with its adjoining park. We are in Bolzano, in a place with 800 years of history. What is here today? A hotel for Italo lovers, terrazzo admirers, art nouveau balcony admirers, yoga practitioners, pasta and martini revellers and moon addicts. With today’s prize you will receive a 50% voucher for a two-day stay for two at the Parkhotel Mondschein.
Fancy a look at the next prize? Door number 17 takes you up to the mountains in Seefeld. At the Natur & Spa Hotel Lärchenhof you can enjoy cosy rooms and regional food as well as sauna sessions and a pool – panoramic views always included. Today you can win three nights for two people including breakfast.
Hidden behind door number 16 is a code word. What does RH 1477 stand for? For good food and convivial drinks, for history and stories, for South Tyrol and for Lana, for design and for being. Today you can win a 50% voucher for a two-night stay for two people at 1477 Reichhalter – eat & sleep.
What does a tortoise have to do with Christmas? Quite a lot! It stands for grounding, calm and optimism. All values that teach us true contemplation. In the form of a golden necklace from TWENTYTEN, the wise animal could soon be under your Christmas tree. With door number 15, we are taking it slow.
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.
No, this is not just a blog post, this is door number 13 in THE Stylemate Advent calendar. Behind it is a set with three products from the South Tyrolean skincare brand Not Just Bodycare: hair shampoo, shower gel and facial cream.
