Welcome to the World of Gaggenau!
“If you’ve got a great interior, you should show it,” says the
Berlin-based architect Thomas Baecker referring to his innovative
supermarket designs. This quotation from our report about the
new temples of food is also a good motto for this issue of
new spaces, in which Gaggenau shows you lots of great spaces.
Some of them, like modern premium supermarkets, superbly
combine functionality and a strong visual impact. Others blur the
boundaries between art and design. A good example here is the
customised house created by an architect on a site between
the Rhine Valley and the Black Forest. Together, we discover small
spaces, including a round houseboat in Copenhagen, and endlessly
large ones such as “skywalks” — panoramic bridges high in the
air with nothing above them but the overarching sky. We also show
you spaces for enjoyment and adventure, such as the new Wine
Cube from Gaggenau and bulthaup, and we invite you to visit us in
the virtual space of the new Gaggenau online showroom.
In other words, there’s a lot to enjoy in a magazine designed to
offer you a wealth of new ideas and insights that will help you
in your daily work. Let yourself be inspired by creative people who
are daring to step into the world of tomorrow.
Pleasant reading, yours sincerely
