EDITORIAL
SIMPLY THE BEST
“I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.” This quote is attributed to Oscar Wilde. As connoisseurs,
we are in utter agreement with him of course. Satisfaction with what has been achieved, however, is not an option
for people and companies who strive to create 'the best' – that is, top-class quality and lifestyle – for their customers.
This is not a debatable point. “The times, they are changin’” – and whoever wants to stay at the top should also make
the claim to be getting better all the time. This claim is tradition at GlobeAir. Moreover, it leads with unremitting
strength (as you will read about in this issue) to brand new benchmarks in the categories of comfort, luxury, flexibility
and services for clients. Which means, by the way, for your benefit.
With the self-same motivational thrust, designers, fashion-brands, home furnishings companies, handcraftsmen and
services in various professions are working to make your lives as pleasant as possible. As are real estate professionals,
who in this issue present one of the most spectacular properties in Europe. A few examples from this edition: a wellknown
designer who has managed to “translate” the philosophy of a clubhouse on the Arlberg into a brilliant interior;
or an architect, who generates fascinating synergies out of interior spaces, architecture and art; or else a studio
which defines and extends the meaning of high-quality interior architecture as far as the furthest horizon reaches.
Above and beyond these galvanizing achievements we also report about the latest colour trends and furniture collections
for both indoors and outdoors. What truly impressed us: the jewellery collections produced by a goldsmith
in ultimate hand-crafted artisanship; or a fashion brand which makes us fit for sport and for performance and for
lifestyle. On the other hand, pure and simple relaxation and enjoyment of the pleasures of nature are promised by
innovative garden architecture concepts; while the stellar health destination of the future lies in custom-made solutions
for sustainable well-being. Resorts in Kitzbühel, Crete, or Mallorca also dedicate themselves to the well-being
of body and soul at the highest level.
You'll also find insights on: a yacht charter company which guarantees incomparably beautiful times, in every sense
of the word, on the high seas; about a yacht icon, which is elegantly manoeuvring itself into the future with its very
first electric model; about an oldtimer rallye, which leads traditionally over the most beautiful roads of the Alps; and
about a Swiss art fair, which top connoisseurs and collectors acknowledge as a veritable international highlight.
We wish you wonderful reading entertainment... and a pleasant flight.
With best regards,
Walter & Etha Taferner

In this extraordinary location,
BLUE ELEMENTS unites the very highest building
quality and technical standards “made in Germany”
with comforts and living culture that only exist
at the ultimate level. The architecture dazzles all
comers through its transparency and lightness, fits
effortlessly into the site on the slope and opens to
the eye legally protected vista views of the idyllic
Cala Marmassen. Clear-cut shapes and forms com-
bined with elements typical of the local countryside
together lend the ensemble a very special
character. Wooden pergolas spread their wings
over the terraces. Natural stone, noble woods and
generously spaced glass fronts meld to create a
stylish feel for modern living with beach house flair
and immediate access to the sea.
EXPERIENCE EXCLUSIVITY
WITH A TOUCH OF LIGHTNESS
Also in the interior rooms, these apartments will
wow you with their full-throttled shapes of the
rooms generated out of high-quality materials.
In the living/dining zones including fireplace and
terrace conceived in consciousness of openness
and spaciousness, the windows extending down
to floor level provide views of the sea and themselves
become an integral part of the feeling of
spaciousness. Floors of natural stone, kitchens
custom-finished with a carpenter’s touch including
appliances by Gaggenau or Miele, sophisticated
bathrooms with Dornbracht armatures will fulfil
the very highest demands in furnishing and design.
Modern climate technology and floor heating
ensure palpable comfort during every season
of the year. Also the theme of sustainability is
something addressed and checked by BLUE ELE-

veritable Green-Building status. Highly modern

NOISELESSLY
GOING OUT
TO LUNCH
WITH THE EL-ISEO, RIVA SHIPBUILDERS HAVE MANUFACTURED THEIR
VERY FIRST ELECTRIC MODEL UNDER KEEL. AND THEREBY MANOEUVRED
THEMSELVES ELEGANTLY INTO THE FUTURE.

PROVIDING THRUST OF
300 KW AT THE TOP END,
THE PARKER GVM310
LENDS THE RIVA A
CRUISING SPEED OF
25 KNOTS AND A
SELF-IMPOSED TOP
SPEED OF 40 KNOTS.
The name Riva awakens a heartthrob not
only among boating enthusiasts. The historic, earlier
wooden Rivas (which in the interim are no longer
produced) were passionately loved runabouts
of the international jet set, with Gunter Sachs and
Brigitte Bardot leading the crowd. The Aquaramas,
Tritones and Aristons belonged unmistakably, irresistibly
and for all eternity in the illustrious annals
of maritime history and are now relegated to the
history books. Through developing the El-Iseo, the
Italian shipbuilder Riva finally placed the primevally
typical V8 bubblers in the past, then refined and
produced a fully electric version of their muchloved
Iseo, a 27-foot runabout, first making it then
launching it, following its premiere, into a sparkling
new future in a mature-market.
Picture: © Riva / Leonardo Andreoni Fotografo
The El-Iseo is powered by Parker Hannifin, a leading
U.S. concern for power-train and navigation
technology, and offers a highly distinguished performance
in the field of speed and acceleration.
Providing thrust of 300 kW at the top end, the Parker
GVM310 lends the Riva a cruising speed of 25
knots and a self-imposed top speed of 40 knots. It
is well worth noting that the acceleration curve is
significantly steeper than that of a similar sized boat
with a combustion engine.

TEN HOURS IN E-MODE
The El-Iseo is outfitted with a lithium battery package
which was produced by Podium Advanced
Technologies, one of the leading specialists for
batteries, automobile design and motor transport,
now generating products in the field of yachting for
the first time through its association with Riva. The
batteries which were specially developed for this
particular project in the El-Iseo have a capacity of
150 kWh and are fitted into two independent blocks
between the motor and the rear seat. The integration
of board systems such as transmission, butterfly
control valves and general board-control systems
including the management of driving modus and
battery-loading modus, was assigned to Xenta, a
partner of the Ferretti Group and, thereby, also of
Riva Shipbuilders.
ANDANTE OR ADAGIO?
On board the El-Iseo, you immediately recognise the
two souls which are beating inside the ship. There
are, to start with, unmistakable surfaces which are
typical for the boats and which have made this brand
world famous, yet equally inconspicuous is the
helmstand with its inimitable fully digital touchscreen
dashboard, mimicking the analogue dials of earlier
days. Even the monikers for the three driving modes
– Allegro, Andante and Adagio, the designations for
varying tempo in classical music – play upon tradition,
something which has been a wellspring of Riva
boats since time immemorial.
Like all Riva creations, also the new Riva El-Iseo stems
from the creative minds of Mauro Micheli and Sergio
Beretta, founders of the Officina Italiana Design,
in collaboration with the Strategic Product Committee
under the direction of Piero Ferrari and the
Engineering Department of the Ferretti Group. The
Riva El-Iseo is, incidentally, the very first fully electric
motorboat which has received the RINA certification
in Category B (for windspeeds up to and including
eight metres and significant wave heights of four
metres), something which for boats of this type, due
to their size and configuration, is awarded only rarely.

MMax
Verstappen is no stranger to speed. On and off the track, the
Dutch-Belgian-born driver lives his life according to guiding principles
of fearlessness and dynamic courage. Energy and style are now one
step closer together, as the four-time F1 ® world champion is taking on
a different kind of high-powered world – that of fashion. In February,
the Red Bull-backed racer was announced as the Official Global Brand
Ambassador for AlphaTauri, the fashion brand founded by Red Bull
that offers sophisticated fashion with a particular focus on quality and
design innovations. This new chapter is guided by style: AlphaTauri designs
fashion with a purpose – equal parts function and fashion. With
Verstappen as the face of the brand, that narrative hits the accelerator.
“It’s great to be an ambassador for AlphaTauri. I see it as one big family
– in a way – with the link to Red Bull,” Verstappen says, donning a signature
AlphaTauri two-piece performance-stretch look. “Their commitment
to combine style with functionality fits perfectly with my lifestyle,
both on and off the track.”
With the 2025 F1 ® season well under way, and with Max Verstappen
set to jet to 24 different race locations worldwide this year, decked
in AlphaTauri’s signature streamlined aesthetic. “I’ve been wearing the
clothing for a while and I’m very excited to see what’s coming next. For
me, to be able to wear stylish clothing on and around the track, and
back at home, is just fantastic.”
Whether he's heading to dinner in Tokyo after a race, or on the
go to a track, Max Verstappen is excited to embody the AlphaTauri
spirit – which is versatility and functionality embodied: “Honestly,
I wear it everywhere I go!”

ONCE YOU REALISE
HOW COMPETITIVE YOU ARE,
YOU SET A BIT OF A TARGET,
BUT THAT’S TOO EARLY
TO SAY.
For AlphaTauri, the collaboration is a natural and ergonomic
partnership. Combining fashion with the
functional properties of sportswear, and with a focus
on quality and elegance, AlphaTauri brings a dose of
functional style to F1 ® . “Max Verstappen embodies
excellence and passion,” states Kalle Lauterbach,
Red Bull’s Global Consumer Products CEO. Isabelle
Mi-A Ko, Global Head of AlphaTauri, chimes in: “As a
premium fashion lifestyle brand, we are combining
sports and fashion. Our collections ensure all-day
comfort and style, and Max Verstappen is the perfect
representation of that.”
With sports and style moving ever closer, AlphaTauri
is tapping the growing wave of stylish athletes, in a
power move that emboldens and gives the designs
even more meaning. With the racewear aesthetic
dominating the fashion world, it’s time for Max Verstappen
to define his own era in style and sophistication.
With a new teammate – Liam Lawson – and a fresh
season ahead, Verstappen is keeping his focus balanced
between fashion shoots and starting grids.
“I’m excited for a new season with AlphaTauri. Last
year we had a lot of highs and some challenges,” he
explains. “I hope we can be a little more stable, a little
more all-around this season.” That being said, success
is always just around the corner – as his track
record proves. “Winning four world titles has been
a dream,” he adds. “More than a dream, I’d say. I’m
relaxed, I’m just looking forward to seeing how competitive
we can be this year. Once you realise how
competitive you are, you set a bit of a target, but
that’s too early to say.”
Whether that means another title or simply another
sleek AlphaTauri look on the grid – Max Verstappen, it
seems, is in prime position either way.

TThis is a galvanizing new high point in the long years of collaboration
between the renowned Italian furniture manufacturer and the top
residence furnishers known far beyond the borders of Tirol. Tradition
is more than a bellwether, its high value persists for both companies,
and in this new chapter it is precisely that which is assigned a marquis
virtue.
WHOLENESS AS FOCAL POINT
Even Poliform founder and CEO Alberto Spinelli and his daughter
Gaia Spinelli are visibly enthusiastic about the new studio in Austria.
Extending over an interior space of no less than 600 square metres,
visitors immerse into a veritable adventure for all five senses, into a
world where all aspects of daily life and living are on display, revealed
anew. The beauty of an all-encompassing approach is something
which lies deeply embedded in the DNA of Poliform: it prizes itself
as all-round provider of constellations in luxurious residences ranging
over a stylish kitchen all the way to an elegantly appointed
sleeping zone including its own dressing room. The workmanship
is achieved without compromise, the extraordinary materials and
characteristic style are what make Poliform to a stunning galaxy
which cannot be mistaken for any other in the universe, for it is truly
unique. “We are elated about our long years of connection and collaboration
with the enterprising Spinelli family. In the interim they have
developed into relations of friendship and united us in our common
striving towards quality and individuality,” says Martin Wetscher full
of pride.

FFor those who travel frequently, having a private jet
at their disposal offers unmatched convenience. Yet
full ownership comes with high costs, maintenance
responsibilities, and operational complexities. Now,
GlobeAir’s Fractional Ownership Programme offers
a smarter way to fly – providing all the advantages
of ownership without the burdens.
This programme allows travellers to secure guaranteed
flight hours on a brand-new Cessna Citation M2
Gen2, ensuring efficient, reliable, and on-demand
travel across Europe. Whether for business or
personal trips, fractional ownership provides a costeffective
and seamless alternative, making private
aviation more accessible than ever.
FLEXIBILITY
WITHOUT COMPROMISE
GlobeAir’s Fractional Ownership model removes
the logistical challenges of full ownership while
giving shareholders full control over their travel
schedule. With no blackout dates, peak-day premiums,
or repositioning fees, every flight is ready
when needed.
Unlike chartering, where availability can fluctuate,
fractional ownership guarantees access. Owners
know exactly how many hours they have each year,
with a fixed monthly management fee covering
all operational costs, including maintenance, insurance,
and pilot salaries. There are no unexpected
charges – just a straightforward, predictable way to
fly privately.
THE CITATION M2 GEN2
The Cessna Citation M2 Gen2 is built for efficiency,
comfort, and accessibility. With a cruise speed of
748 km/hr and a range of 2,871 km, it easily connects
major European destinations with non-stop
flights, such as London to Rome or Paris to Athens.
Inside, the six-passenger cabin is designed with
ergonomic seating, ambient lighting, and modern

amenities that enhance the overall experience. The aircraft’s ability to
land at smaller airports also means travellers can arrive closer to their
final destination, saving valuable time and avoiding busy commercial
hubs.
EXPERIENCE YOU CAN TRUST
With over 17 years in private aviation, GlobeAir is recognised for its
safety, reliability, and operational excellence. The company’s in-house
maintenance facility in Linz, Austria, ensures that every aircraft is maintained
to the highest standards, while its Austrian Air Operator Certificate
(AOC) guarantees full compliance with European aviation regulations.
Every flight is operated by highly trained pilots, ensuring a smooth
and secure experience. With a dedicated, multilingual support team
available 24/7, every journey is managed with care and efficiency.
A SMARTER WAY TO TRAVEL
Fractional Ownership with GlobeAir is about more than just flying – it’s
about having a dependable, cost-effective solution that fits seamlessly
into a busy lifestyle. Whether flying for work, family, or last-minute getaways,
this programme offers unparalleled efficiency and accessibility.
With a model designed for those who value time, flexibility, and reliability,
GlobeAir is reshaping the way people experience private aviation.
The sky is yours to own — without the responsibility of full ownership.

Once again in 2025, participants can await with bated
breath a classic rallye conducted at the highest imagin-
able level accompanied by a steeplechase enterprise
on the most beautiful roads of the Alps. Besides classic
old timers dating up to the year 1975, there will also
be a limited Young Timer & Exotic Cars Class in the
upcoming edition in which iconic automobile models
can take part without any limitations on when the car
was built.
A CLASSIC RALLYE WITH
INCOMPARABLE PANORAMAS
This time as well, you can look forward to three impressive
starts. On Thursday, 05 th June 2025, the pro-
logue of the adventure unrolls. On Friday, 06 th June, the
“Großglockner” will again be tackled and conquered.
The crowning conclusion will be spotlighted on
Saturday, 07 th June, a tour through the picturesque
Lake Chiemsee region before the field of participants
receives its final acclaim in the inner city of Kitzbühel.
FOUR CLASSES OF EVALUATION
As in the previous years, four classes will be evaluated:
Sport Plus, Sport, Classic and Youngtimer & Exotic
Cars. While the overall victory will still be the achievement
of classic, analogue-measured evaluations and
tests, fans of newer sports cars and future classics
will also be given an opportunity to participate: in the
group known as “Young Timers & Exotic Cars” there
are no limitations in the evaluations and tests; in this
event, it is experience and driving fun which stand in
the foreground.

Nevertheless, even if the Alpenrallye is opening its doors to younger
vehicles, breathtaking cars from before the War will never be sidelined
or forgotten. In order to equalize the effort involved, as well as the technical
disadvantages, vehicles which were initially registered before 1945
are granted a bonus in the form of a 0.9-multiplier-quotient.
In order to maintain quality at the highest possible level, the number of
participants will be limited ... and 50% of the starting slots have already

Characteristic, authentic and yet understated:
the two owners Benjamin Schneider and Patrick
Krummenacher, who planned the project together
with Jürgen Kitzmüller Architektur, had
concrete ideas early on as to how they wanted
to implement this in a well-thought-out interior
design with flowing transitions – both architecturally
and in terms of colour. The focus was on
harmoniously combining the restaurant and bar
with the club in the basement and the concept
store on the top floor. The result was a concept
based on the use of high-quality natural materials,
combined with an earthy, rich colour palette
that changes in its colour nuances with each floor,
but always remains true to itself. The result is an
atmosphere that arouses curiosity through its variance
and at the same time radiates cosiness – and
thus describes what the Club House stands for: a
place where you want to stay. The Bernd Gruber
Kitzbühel team has managed with great sensitivity
to combine tradition and modernity in perfect
balance – and to give the new a familiar soul.
THE APPEAL OF INTERACTION
Every detail testifies to masterful craftsmanship:
milled, burnished aluminium, curved high-gloss
ceiling elements made of fine walnut wood, artistic
metal fillings, timeless oak floors, high-quality
textile coverings and wall designs with fine wallpaper.
In addition, there are bronzed mirrors with
bevelled edges and precisely crafted elements
made of various types of travertine – materials that
ground the room, allow you to pause and at the
same time convey a Mediterranean lightness.
The variety of details and materials reflects the

his absolutely breathtaking property is
located inside the city limits of Berlin,
borders immediately on Potsdam, and is
a paradigm in every knowable way. The
culmination of the entire property and
high point of the island of Schwanenwerder
is its vast park – the building lot is 10,724m 2
large – offering a private lakeside shoreline, a pier, a
docking zone and an impeccable southwest-facing
exposition, giving it a nearly surreal framework.
A living surface area of approximately 1490m 2
distributed over two buildings opens numerous
options for use and a variety of possible applications:
as a private villa, a company’s outer estate
(as bounteous as it gets) or a venue for lavish,
exclusive get-togethers. It is modestly known as
“Hauptdeck.” Anyone casting a glance at this gem
will never forget it.
THE ISLAND
OF SCHWANENWERDER …
... gleams picturesquely in Lake Wannsee, connected
with the shore by a bridge. The metropolis
of Berlin is just a stone’s throw away. Thanks to
favourable accessibility to the inner city, Kurfürsten-
damm can be reached in about 20 minutes. The
villa is located on the highly desirable western side
of the island, directly facing the Wannsee shoreline.
As a result of its unusually long, private water-
front and immaculate exposition for sunshine, unforgettable
panoramas of the open waters are unveiled
to view, including spectacular sunsets and
a maximum private sphere. In clear weather the
panorama reaches all the way to historic Schloss
Belvedere in Potsdam. Schwanenwerder forges a
combination of nature and city life in inimitable
fashion. Its location, coupled with timeless elegance
and modern furnishings of the villa, make this estate
an incomparable, irreplicable zenith.
THE ARCHITECTURE OF
THE PROPERTY …
... extends wildly beyond conventional borders of
the imagination, in fact, it is art. Responsible for
this are Graft architects. Established in 1998 in Los
Angeles, this group numbers among the most innovative
all over the world. With business locations
in Berlin and Shanghai, Graft Architects pursues an
interdisciplinary approach to its metier, connecting
architecture, design and city planning. For that
reason, it is considered to be one of the worldwide
pioneers in contemporary architecture.

THROUGH
HIGHLY EFFICIENT
SOLAR PANELS, THE
ENERGY CONCEPT
NEARLY REACHES
COMPLETE
SELF-SUFFICIENCY.
The building itself breaks with all normal images
of what can be expected by architecture. Boldly
stacked cubes seem to melt into one another and
vast glass fronts open wide to the lake, merging in
a truly future-presaging design to an indescribable
edifice: futuristic from the outside, cosy and comfortable
on the inside, emanating ineffable feelings
of well-being. Parts of the architecture seem to
grope freely into space; the terraces and projections
recall commando bridges and sun decks of
a luxury yacht. Curves and rounded lines interrupt
the linearity. And all of the visual impressions are
amplified by the gentle slope on which the edifice
stands, into which the house seems nearly
to immerse itself. The main house rests upon an
L-shaped anchoring foundation which reinforces
the structural engineering. The enormous glass
surfaces looking out over the lake can withstand
windspeeds of 220 km/hr and, on top of that, are
rounded themselves, a masterpiece. In addition,
the building is conceived as a Faraday cage (an
enclosed-into-itself electric shield). The comprehensive
security concept is planned and executed
down to the final minute details, containing refined
features extending all the way to an emergency
power plant. Add to that a trendsetting, downright
epochal energy concept which foresees heating
and cooling by means of earth-warmth pump plus
a solar power assemblage and a block-type thermal
power station. Through highly efficient solar
panels, the energy concept nearly reaches complete
self-sufficiency.
All in all, this estate combines sovereign lightness
with cosmopolitan extravagance, it makes indelible
impressions on every imagination as a statement
of unpretentious luxury, maximum privacy
and absolute security.

Croatian waters of the Adriatic Sea?
Jürgen Dobner: We have the experience, the power to deliver, as well
as a wide-ranging portfolio. We bring our full-fledged passion to every
project in order to provide our clients with the absolutely best service
available. We want to ensure and achieve the highest possible standard
of services, to go the extra mile. With Yachtmeister ® we are mainly active
in the Croatian waters of the Adriatic. That’s where we’re at home,
if you will. YACHTING EXCLUSIVE ® on the other hand offers its services
throughout Europe, and provides transfers and charters worldwide.
Streifzug: What are the advantages and benefits for yacht owners
who turn to YACHTING EXCLUSIVE ® for their yachting management?
Jürgen Dobner: It comes down to an eye for detail. We offer our
clients yachting full service, we take care of the overall and entire
yachting management from refitting to interior rebuilding of yachts,
transfers from point A to point B, docking and marina management,
crew service, on-board catering and, it goes without saying when the
yacht owner so desires, organisation and carrying out of chartering
the boat to others. My own personal roots lie in the hotel business,
they have indelibly imprinted me with the overall importance of absolute

in their personal planning and building of their own
dream yacht?
Jürgen Dobner: Yes, we can do this. Currently we are
planning the re-building and renovation of a motordriven
yacht and a new monohull. All of which fulfils
the precise desires of the owner. We do it with
extreme precision and ambition in order to turn
the exact wishes of the client to reality. Apart from
competent craftsmen in the individual countries,
we also set great store in the professional craftsmanship
in Austria.
Streifzug: Your own brand Yachtmeister ® also comprises
education programs quite different from the
usual “nautical courses” which are on offer, doesn’t
it? What is so special about that? What are the additional
benefits that are promised?
Jürgen Dobner: We accompany those people
who wish to become skippers right from our first
contact with them. Even after they have passed
the exams, we are always available for all manner
of questions and assistance. Supplementary training
sessions give them that extra giant step of assuredness
and self-confidence. We have a wide-
ranging selection of motor-driven and sailing
yachts when it is time for their first solo cruise at
sea. At Yachtmeister ® everything flows from one
and the same hand. Schoolings are conducted
with a far-reaching roster of available overnight
possibilities as well.
Streifzug: To be “the best” is something that many
companies boast of. In your own position and from
your point of vantage, what is the special quality of
your company?
Jürgen Dobner: The high degree of service competence
and unsurpassed standard of our impassioned
motivation which accompanies and
is injected into each and every project. We are
convinced that we actually deliver that added
value which many people seek are questing for,
yet which nowadays is no longer part of the expected
product. And one other thing: honesty.
Each and every person in this company truly does
his best to reach the specified goal, so that the
end product turns out to be a truly wonderful
“work” of accomplishment.

While Mallorca has long been a destination for tennis
and padel lovers, MCC stands apart as the only club
in the south of Europe to offer all three major tennis
surfaces across twelve courts. Notably,
six Wimbledon-grade grass courts,
developed in close collaboration
with the renowned tournament,
position MCC as a
premier training location
for professionals while also
offering members an elite
playing experience.
Fabian Kainz, the club’s mana-
ger, highlights MCC’s unique
approach: “Our vision is to create
a club where world-class sports meet
a first-class networking environment. Whether
you’re here to play, train, or connect, MCC offers an
unparalleled experience.”
Beyond tennis, MCC caters to the growing interest
in padel and pickleball, two of the fastest-expanding
racket sports worldwide.
A HUB FOR BUSINESS
AND HIGH-PROFILE NETWORKING
What sets MCC apart is its increasing role as a business
networking hub. In recent years, the club has
become an informal yet highly effective meeting
point for entrepreneurs, executives, and
decision-makers, who use its elegant
yet relaxed setting for
business lunches, corporate
meetings, and strategic net-
working. With co-working
spaces available, MCC is
establishing itself as a dis-
creet yet powerful venue
for business engagement
on the island.
The club’s restaurant plays a significant
role in this. Offering a refined
yet health-conscious fusion menu, it provides
an ideal environment for both casual interactions
and formal gatherings. The outdoor terraces,
overlooking manicured gardens and pristine courts,
further enhance its appeal as a sophisticated space
for socialising and deal-making.

Schloss Thürn is an awe-inspiring estate not far
from the picturesque Lake Wörthersee in Carinthia,
ensconced in the idyllic landscapes of the Lavanttal
Alps. Historically documented for the first time in
the year 1243, this exceptional property draws
together both genuine historical elegance and
modern technology with lavish and luxurious living
comfort. Thanks to wide-ranging restoration and
renovation efforts, the castle has been lovingly outfitted,
among other things, with intelligent in-house
technology as well as the very latest in infrastructure
which provide sustainable energy and modern
safety at one and the same time.
The opulent salons, the exclusive library, the luxurious
bedrooms with bathrooms en suite and
an absolutely first-class well-being area generate
once-in-a-lifetime experiences of being alive and
on top of the world. Historic elements such as
artistic stucco ceilings, impressive wall frescoes
and artistically handcrafted ornamentation were
fastidiously retained through the renovations and
integrated into the modern design. The ambience
was ultimately rounded out with high-end materials,
custom-made furniture and highly atmosphereenhancing
lighting fixtures which meld the charms
of past epochs with the living comforts of today.
The castle offers not only exclusive living spaces,
but also a plethora of possibilities for their use –
whether as a private sanctuary and hideaway, as
a representative location for lustrous events, or as
a creative working refuge. Through its heightened
location, breathtaking views over the valley and Lake
Wörthersee are guaranteed. The spacious terraces
and garden zones entice one and all to linger awhile,
they provide ideal conditions for stylish receptions
or relaxing hours in the midst of splendid nature.
The far-reaching lands belonging to the castle
comprise no less than 36,611 m 2 and include wine
vineyards, gardens, agricultural fields and forests.
Sustainability is the centrepiece of this ensemble:
environmentally friendly heating and cooling systems,
regional building materials and landscape
architecture of the gardens which minimizes their
ecological footprint. The estate also possesses its
very own water source, which assures you endless
water and contributes to a self-sustaining lifestyle.
In spite of its idyllic seclusion, Wolfsberg and Klagenfurt
are easily accessible. A nearby private airfield
and helicopter landing place guarantee additional
flexibility for international guests. The region offers
a bounteous balance of nature, culture and exalted,
high-end lifestyle. Numerous leisure possibilities
such as hiking, golfing and water sports ensure
days full of diversity/activity just as you wish to live
them, in exclusive surroundings.
Schloss Thürn is a truly rare opportunity to acquire
an architectural masterpiece with a richly embellished
history. It is a symbiosis of tradition and
modernity which will retain its treasured values for
generations.

THE CONSIDERATE CONNECTION OF
UNDERSTATED AND UNDERRATED
With over 15 years of experience, Robert Stephan has earned international
recognition for crafting unique, highly curated spaces. Renowned
for his expertise in vintage design and contemporary collectibles,
he masterfully fuses different design eras, creating interiors
of exceptional depth and sophistication. His reputation for refined
eclecticism led him to collaborate with fashion entrepreneur and now
business partner Peter Schlagböhmer on his two private homes. Their
shared passion for extraordinary design and rare objects inspired them
to bring an exclusive selection of collectible design to the Germanspeaking
market.
THE ROPE | STUDIO:
ONE-OF-A-KIND REFINED INTERIORS
At The Rope | Studio, each project embodies timeless sophistication,
seamlessly blending architecture, materiality, and bespoke design.
The studio offers a fully integrated approach to interior design – from
spatial planning and material selection to custom-built elements and
meticulously sourced furniture. With an uncompromising dedication
to craftsmanship and individuality, The Rope | Studio creates interiors
that are both deeply personal and extraordinarily refined.
The transformation of a 1970s bungalow in Munich underscores The
Rope | Studio’s dedication to redefining spatial experiences. Originally
characterised by stark minimalism, the home was reimagined through
thoughtful materiality and expertly curated furnishings. Warm wooden
panelling in the entrance and standout pieces from George Nakashima,
Rick Owens, and Vladimir Kagan infused the space with intimacy and
character. The result is a residence that retains its architectural integrity
while radiating modern Americana's inviting essence.

David Chipperfield’s architecture set the stage for an extraordinary
home, while The Rope | Studio infused it with a masterful interior concept
– thoughtfully curated, yet effortlessly livable. Balancing respect
for Chipperfield’s vision with creative freedom, the studio blended
rare vintage treasures with contemporary icons. A standout piece was
Renzo Schirolli’s ultra-rare desk – lost at auction but later discovered
elsewhere. Sculptural works by Daniel Arsham and McCollin Bryan
added artistic depth, while warm oak, walnut, and soft linen created
a tactile sense of comfort. Every element was chosen to enhance
the daily experience, ensuring the space remained elegant yet welcoming.
More than a showcase of design, the home became a living
canvas – beautiful, functional, and shaped by everyday life.
THE ROPE | GALLERY:
A SHOWCASE OF COLLECTIBLE DESIGN
Complementing the established interior design studio, The Rope
Gallery serves as a destination for design connoisseurs to explore an
expertly curated selection of rare vintage objects and contemporary
pieces. Regularly rotating exhibitions feature exceptional works from
20th-century masters and today’s leading creators, making the gallery
a must-visit in Munich. From Pierre Chapo's modernist masterpieces
to the sculptural designs of Christophe Côme and Arno Declercq, the
gallery upholds a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and substance.
The founders, Robert Stephan, Vicky, and Peter
Schlagböhmer, bring their shared passion for
interior and collectible design to life through The

Together The Rope | Studio and The Rope | Gallery redefine collectible
design, seamlessly integrating history and modernity into curated

This year’s presentation of Art Basel has been awaited with a surge
of anticipation. It will boast 289 leading international art galleries
from 42 countries and territories which will be brought together
to exhibit outstanding works in all the various media, ranging from
painting and sculpture all the way to photography and digital art.
In 2025, eighteen new galleries from Europe, Asia and America will
be welcomed in order to provide brand-new perspectives and extend
the global reach of the art fair even further. Among the newcomers,
two will participate directly in the main sector of galleries
– Arcadia Missa (London) and François Ghebaly (Los Angeles, New
York), whereas 14 galleries will be represented for the first time in
the sectors Feature and Statements.
EXTRAORDINARY DIVERSITY
The artistic creators represented at the fair cover a wide spectrum,
from trailblazing pioneers of modern art in the early 20 th century
to visionary contemporary talents. Art Basel will thereby reinforce,
once again, its unchallenged position as the leading event in the
worldwide art market, as a global centrepiece for discoveries, networking
and the driving force in the international art world.

The extraordinarily wide-ranging artistic offerings at the fair will be
completed by a series of dynamic events unfolding throughout the
city of Basel which draw in the most renowned cultural institutions.
This programme heightens the cultural eminence of the city in the
spotlight and makes unmistakably clear how profound an effect Art
Basel exercises on its home city, thereby raising Basel’s significance
as an incomparable cultural destination.
A POWERFUL CULTURAL PLATFORM
Maike Cruse, Director of Art Basel says: "I am excited to once again
welcome the global art world to our flagship event in June. Art
Basel 2025 promises to be a defining moment, showcasing a diverse
range of extraordinary artworks, sparking international dialogue,

Katharina Grosse, Art Basel continues to be a powerful platform for
discovery and a driving force for cultural exchange, innovation, and
artistic expression."
A particular highlight of the art fair is the new sector with the moniker
“Premiere” which offers art galleries a platform in order to present
up to three trendsetting artists/creators who will show works
from the last five years. Premiere makes it possible for visitors to
discover new and innovative artistic positions.
SPECIAL SECTORS
The renowned sector known as “Parcours” will return, once again
curated by Stefanie Hessler, Directress of the Swiss Institute in
New York. Another spectacular highlight will be the illustrious artist
Katharina Grosse, who with her spray technique will transform the
grounds of the Messe and their surrounding structures into a vivid,
vibrating, highly colourful landscape. The sector known as “Unlimited”
– curated by Giovanni Carmine, Director of the Kunsthalle in
St. Gallen, will once again provide a platform for large-scale installations
and performances which would be inconceivable in the
framework of a traditional gallery.
The Baloise Art Prize, endowed with 30,000 CHF, will be awarded
on 26 th May in the sector known as “Statements” to as many as two
creators. In addition, Baloise Werke will secure the distinguished
winners for a gift bestowal to two leading European museums that
will subsequently dedicate a solo exhibition to the prize winners.

events which is presented and performed for each edition
in collaboration with the institutions of the host city.

NNao offers nothing short of a revolutionary, evidence-based
approach to unify and interweave
ancient healing practices with progressive prognostics,
treatments and interventions. It is Greece’s
newest luxury-wellbeing destination designed to
offer prestige personalisation in every aspect of its
guest experience.
To formulate it in the words of Gina Mamidaki, the
visionary CEO behind this project: “Nao came into
being as the purely natural answer to a universal
call for a happier and healthier world – the concept
genuinely embodies our profound engagement
in the demanding spheres of care, sustainability,
innovation and excellence which have developed
over the course of more than 50 years. Through a
deeply rooted belief system, Nao redefines longevity
by blending scientific longevity science with
ancient wisdom.
A NEW ERA FOR LONGEVITY
At the heart of Minos Palace Resort, whose splendid
site is a secluded private peninsula with 360° views
of the Aegean, Nao is destined to provide inspiration
for the ongoing evolution of a newborn lifestyle.
Designed for transformation, it offers sensory-rich
spaces that immerse guests in an environment crafted
to awaken the senses and encourage self-discovery.
Here, the surroundings themselves become
an integral part of the journey, reinforcing wellbeing
through design, nature, and intentional curation.
Derived from the ancient Greek meaning “to flow,”
Nao symbolises harmony and continuous transformation.
Its centrepiece is a groundbreaking approach
to wellbeing which targets the 12 hallmarks
of ageing, encompassing fundamental biological
processes which drive the passage of time. Guests
thereby receive support in both the temporal extension
of their lives and the qualitative enhancement
of their health.
Each and every Nao journey is guided by four lodestars,
the major pillars which bear wellbeing: nutrition,
sleep, movement and self-mastery. For each
of these, measures are undertaken which focus on
certain aspects of the 12 hallmarks of ageing. Together
they constitute an integrated path to wellbeing
which addresses body, mindset and emotional
health both carefully and precisely.
SCIENTIFIC UNDERPINNING,
HIGHLY PERSONAL METHODS
The first step in the Nao method is to communicate
to the guests a deeper understanding of their own
health and wellbeing. This process begins even
before their arrival when guests fill out a detailed
questionnaire and uncover their initial prognostics.
This provides the basis for the planning of their own
highly personal journey. Upon arrival, further tests
coupled with expert consultations culminate in
a comprehensive analysis of their state of health.
These tests are based on latest knowledge and
longevity research. They target the most important
biometrics. This information gives the Nao wellness
team the wide-reaching data it needs to generate

extend from kickstart entry-point programs to deep reaching twoweek
therapy journeys. During these programs, advanced prognostics
are combined with highly curated modern treatments and
interventions. Precision strategies for a recommended lifestyle are
worked out which are capable of being implemented. It is thus ensured
that guests are not only revitalised while they are here, they
are also given the requisite tools for their own sustainable transformation
after they depart.
AN INCOMPARABLE PLACE FOR LONGEVITY
Minos Palace Resort is located on a tranquil private peninsula. It is an
exclusively adults-only sanctuary ensconced in a splendid setting with
360° views for serene healing experiences. Two restaurants pamper
guests with seasonal, curated menus composed of sustainably cultivated
products which are proven to reinforce good health. Equally
enjoyable are the two unusual bars. Here cocktails and drinks are
served which have been meticulously curated by Baba au Rum in
Athens, one of the best bars in the world. The activity program extends
from water sports and tennis to hikes and wellness courses, while at
the same time, tranquil gardens, private beach and an infinity pool
reflect the nearly boundless reaches of the site. The 121 rooms,
bungalows and 28 suites (some with private pond), the pools, the
reception and the F&B zone were thoroughly renovated in 2024.
Starting with the completion of its expansion through Nao which will
be launched in May 2025, the Minos Palace Resort becomes a leading
luxury-wellness destination which draws science, nature and individual
supervision into profound harmony in order to make a longer,
happier and more fulfilled life possible for its guests.

As
far back
as two years ago, those warm earthy shades could
be felt to vibrate all around us. But 2025 is the
moment when we are reaching out full force and
heartwarmingly for the whole palette of natural
colours which are simply predestined to generate
a deep-down feeling of well-being at home. The
additional thought of sweet nothings to pamper us
a further degree is not far removed from this inspiration,
especially if a gossamer sheen of caramel,
cacao and cappuccino lies perched over this
living environment series. The approach is intelligent
in any case, since one simply never gets
tired of these hues and so ends up enjoying
them twice-over.
COLOURS WITH CHARACTER
More and more people feel the inner need
to connect deeper and deeper with nature,
they wish for additional ground contact instead
of abstract up-in-the-air lightness in their immediate
living surroundings. This stroke of genius was
taken up by the American Pantone Institute insofar
as it placed its bets on “Mocha Mousse”. Refined,
copious, opulent, nevertheless simple and classic at
the same time: the countless nuances and facets
of brown which all play important roles in our lives,
presenting themselves in modest and earthbound
ways yet extending all the way up to aspiring and
luxurious.
DESIGN WITH SOUL
As regards the materials, a well-known trend is also
continued here: naturalness needs to place its signature
on interior living. In this vein, the recent trend
of furniture manufacturers towards natural stone,
wood and leather is downright obligatory. Simultaneously,
wonderful possibilities open up which shift
and focus human gaze stronger than ever before
towards truly competent handcraftsmanship. The
art of talented if not ingenious creation reveals itself
in meticulously worked surfaces, in highly sophisticated
details such as ornamental seams, folds and
other technical intricacies, but also in the basic

And that is the aspect which often surprises even the connoisseurs.

It might also be noted that a new movement of “preferably larger, not
smaller” furniture pieces has moved in. On the one hand, this is partly
a function of innovative rounded lines which determine the modernday
contours, this cannot be overlooked. These pieces simply require
more room. On the other hand, a desire for full-fledged comfort, for

words, to let loose at home, where life really counts. For example, in a
sofa which goes on and on; or in a vast easy-chair. That is where you
can truly recover after a long, hard day of work. This feeling of wellbeing,
of familiarity and secluded comfort is borne on the shoulders
of organic furniture forms which hug you like a loved one. And that
applies equally to an elegant ensemble of stylish furniture as well as to
tiny side tables and chairs which, all in all, at least for this current year,
easily survive without any sharp angles and corners.
LIGHT RADIATES PASSION
Also the lighting displays are becoming opulent, so that lighting in
no way can get relegated to the sidelines or to an ancillary role. And
so, decorative lights and chandeliers also take up lots of space in the
coming season, and we mean that literally. Striking, flamboyant, eyecatching
lighting fixtures are becoming the centrepiece of salons. Or
else artistic pieces which nicely illuminate a staircase or give an acute
accent to the entrance foyer. Polish and glittering brilliance are the
right and proper messengers for the entire furnishings industry, which
plans to bring private living to new resplendence in precisely this way.

but also offer an equal measure of protective refuge and calm. The
rooms which are generated through these principles are not just
functional, they are profoundly artistic and emotionally inspiring.
They create an ineffable atmosphere which entices one to come

ARCHITECTURE – VISIONARY
ROOMS WITH UNSHAKEABLE SUBSTANCE
The architecture of Dipl. Architect Thomas Mang is a genuine expression
of visionary creativity and precision handcraftsmanship.
This is the crossroads where a clear, elegant language of forms
meets up with in-depth passion for details and extraordinary materials

the goal of embodying timeless elegance and functionality in an
aura of refined aesthetic splendour. The rooms which are generated
in this fashion are far more than mere building structures. They
are places which tell their own tales, and which invite one and all to
discover them. Each element, each and every line, the panoply of
materials, everything has been uncovered for this purpose, for this
environment, in order to reinforce the bounteous harmony of the
whole, so that both the practical needs of the residents are considered
and aesthetic wishes are fulfilled. The architecture of Dipl.
Architect Thomas Mang is the stellar expression of sustainability,
elegance and sophistication in which the room itself is veritably
transformed into a paradigm work of art.
ART GUIDANCE – AN UNCANNY
FEEL FOR WHAT IS EXTRAORDINARY
Art is the key to unlock the soul of every room. For Thomas Mang
Studio that means it is not simply a decorative element, but rather
is an integral part of the overall composition of a room. Works of
art have a tectonic ability to transform a room, to breathe a special
kind of life into it, and to provoke a strikingly emotional resonance.
Through his unerring touch for the extraordinary and the right way
to set an accent through art guidance, Dipl. Architect Thomas
Mang succeeds in enriching each project an additional unexpected
step through unique works of art which amplify both the substance
and the atmosphere of a room. Art guidance extends way
beyond threadbare selection and placement of art – it pursues the
aim of turning each work of art into a living, breathing part of the
room, thereby lending the room a deeper significance. Seen from
this vantage point, art becomes an indispensable element which is
not only an aesthetic experience for those who view it, it injects an
uplifting emotional and intellectual level into it.
INNOVATION AND EXCELLENCE
With a highly qualified team of talented designers, architects and
art guides, Thomas Mang Studio sets its sights on a lodestar combination
of tradition and innovation. Thomas Mang Studio has the
reputation of achieving cutting-edge ranks of excellence and both
emanating and maintaining those standards, through consistently
treading new paths in design without for a moment losing sight of
the timeless principles and core tenets of eternal aesthetics and
functionality.

The YARA restaurant offers a
delicious fusion of Japanese and
Mediterranean cuisine – authentic,
but not traditional.
Located directly at the harbour of Puerto Portals, a visit to the
YARA restaurant is a journey for all the senses: to culinary heights
and unforgettable panoramas.
IN THE ARTISTIC HEART OF PALMA
It goes quite without saying: the very first impressions of Mallorca are
best garnered in the capital city of Palma. It numbers among the oldest
cities in the world and bears witness to a bevy of cultural influences.
The fact that the people here manifest an unusually deep feeling
for art is amply demonstrated by the high quality of art galleries and
exhibitions. A fabulous place where art, cafés, interior decoration and
fashion merge and unite into an imposing and diverse whole. This
lavishness is embodied by Rialto Living – including an art gallery which
changes its holdings every month. Also the exhibitions in the four major
rooms of the former City Palace “Casal Solleric” are bursting with
expressiveness. In addition, the Es Baluard Museum of modern and
contemporary art has a name which resonates far and wide. It exhibits
more than 500 art works of national and international artists who have
some kind of special connection to the island. An absolute must for
all art lovers is the Museum Miró Mallorca, boasting more than 7000
works of art by Miró and his contemporaries.
Outside the City Centre, a visit to the pulsating heart of the “scene”
Santa Catalina with its traditional windmills, boutiques and cafés is
something that simply must not be missed. And, truth be told, a visit to
the Banys Àrabs – the oldest relict of Moorish architecture in Mallorca
– deserves full-fledged attentiveness.
Discovery tours awaken the appetite in more ways than one, and that
is where the typical “ensaimadas” provide the perfect snack. They, in
turn, awaken appetite for more lucullan delights, like those which can
be savoured at the Fera Restaurant or can be satisfied in the Yara Portals
in Puerto Portals. Palma is also well-known for its dream-cometrue
hotels, such as Can Bordoy, Ars Magna Belisure Hotel, El Llorenç,
Can Cera or Hotel de Mar Gran Meliá.

it, the Museum Sa Bassa Blanca entices all art lovers
to enter its portals and explore the Spanish heritage
of Mallorca for themselves. To pursue this historic

F80, W1 AND VALHALLA ARE REACHING
FOR AND TESTING THE TECHNICAL AND
PHYSICAL BORDERS OF WHAT IS POSSIBLE,
ONCE AGAIN, AND THEREBY FORM THE SPEAR-
HEAD OF HYPERCARS WHICH ARE PERMITTED
FOR CONVENTIONAL STREET TRAFFIC.
FAST – FASTER – FERRARI
The F80 is oriented on the iconic Ferraris of the past in a visual
sense, yet ticking and purring beneath the fluid body work are the
very best components of modern-day sports car technology and
Formula 1. This hypercar is powered by a V6-biturbo, supported by
three electric motors from which an overall system performance of
1200 hp results. In order to whip the F80 to 100 km/hr in a mindbending
2.15 seconds, the power is distributed into all four wheels.
Whoever is versed in Ferrari technology knows that performance in
the curves is more important than blunt-force acceleration. Active
aerodynamics and a sensitively adaptive chassis, in other words the
driving and coupled axles, are what deliver the necessary support
and crescendo in record-breaking times for the whole round. Even
more impressive than the pure-and-simple numbers of the F80 is
its exclusivity: Ferrari will decide who will own the new hypercar
and who won’t.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE & MIND-BLOWING
ATTAINMENT
McLaren follows on its heels with the W1 and a completely different
approach: instead of four-wheel drive, the Brits have remained loyal
to the “widowmaker” image and quite consciously have placed
their bets on rear-wheel drive. Also beneath the bonnet of the W1,
electric and petrol motors work in tandem, together achieving 1275
hp and 1340 Nm. The sprint to 100 km/hr is accomplished in 2.7
seconds and its maximum speed is clocked at a breathtakingly impressive
350 km/hr. In spite of the enormous performance, the W1
manages to tip the scales at only 1399 kilograms dry weight, comparatively
light, due to the fact that the chassis is made completely
of carbon. According to McLaren this downright mind-boggling
performance is all a consequence of its successful engagement in
Formula 1. One thing is clear as crystal: with the W1, the Brits have
placed a worthy successor of F1 and P1 on the road.
LIMITED EDITION. ELEGANT DESIGN.
POWERFUL.
While Porsche is still tinkering with (and presumably racking its
brains over) the successor to the 918, Aston Martin unveils a surprise:
a veritably divine supercar. The Valhalla takes advantage of a V8-
biturbo by AMG, brought to culmination by three electric motors.
The overall system output comes to 1079 hp, requires four-wheel
drive, and therewith the exclusive Aston lays back the sprint to 100
km/hr in 2.5 seconds. Also the traditional British brand has learned
lessons from Formula 1 and optimised the first midship supercar
through its engagement on the racetrack. With 999 exemplars, the
Valhalla – just like its competitors – is strictly limited. That said, in
view of the splendid design and highest driving targets impressively
reached there is little doubt that the Valhalla will be sold out in the
shortest imaginable time.
F80, W1 and Valhalla are reaching for and testing the technical and
physical borders of what is possible, once again, and thereby form
the spearhead of hypercars which are permitted for conventional
street traffic. Formula 1 hybrid technology has established itself as
the new worldwide standard. Yet on that fundamental undisputed
basis, the question still remains: when will the limits be reached?

STREIFZUG BEST OF 125
GlobeAir is pleased to announce significant steps ushering the company
into the future. The construction of a brand-new hangar in Linz expands
the possibilities of the company considerably. The state-of-the-art facility
extending over 1200 square metres of surface area will provide a centralized
maintenance zone offering an intelligent internal infrastructure for a
growing fleet – an important step in the ongoing development of private
air travel.
MORE ROOM, IMPROVED SERVICE
The opening of the hangar was completed and celebrated at the end of
2024. It set a major substantive milestone for GlobeAir. The hangar boasts
space for up to eight aircraft and in addition contains modern offices,
rooms for training courses, a pilots’ lounge and a spare parts warehouse.
These expanded surfaces heighten the efficiency and ensure the ultimate
degree of care and maintenance for the aircraft.
Apart from the additional spaces thereby gained, GlobeAir is now in a
position to improve their service yet a further notch. A specialised maintenance
team has been granted direct access to the best equipment,
tools and resources in order to carry out maintenance work faster and
more efficiently. Thereby, the jets are always in top condition and can
be made ready for flight even more rapidly. The investment in infrastructure
demonstrates the long-term engagement of GlobeAir for first-class
service and the highest obtainable safety standards.
BIGGER, FASTER, FURTHER
On a parallel track to this, GlobeAir is also modernising its fleet. The triedand-tested
Cessna Citation Mustang jets will be replaced successively
by the more powerful model Citation M2 Gen2. These new jets provide
more comfort, a longer flight range and higher capacity – perfectly in
harmony with the wishes of modern-day travellers. Through this renovation,
GlobeAir heightens the experience of flying to a brand-new level,
delivering higher performance, better fuel efficiency and an even more
pleasant flight interior.
The Citation M2 Gen2 is a modern jet with augmented avionics, higher
flying speeds and premium installations. With this step GlobeAir sets
new standards for comfort and efficiency in private air travel. The spa-

cious interior, the ergonomic seats and the modern
technology add up to a highly pleasant overall flight
experience.
THE FUTURE BEGINS NOW
By the year 2030 GlobeAir plans to operate a fleet of
25 to 30 Citation M2 jets and thereby, to further enhance
its position as the leading provider in the private
jet segment. Thanks to the efficiency of the M2 Gen2
aircraft, GlobeAir can continue to offer both luxurious
and reliable flights – and that, plus a maximum of flexibility
and comfort. This conversion to a new fleet will
guarantee that every trip with GlobeAir is an exclusive
experience.
Sustainability also plays an essential role. The new M2
fleet, through improved fuel efficiency, contributes in
major ways to reducing CO 2
emissions. In addition to
that, GlobeAir is also working diligently on the implementation
of sustainable aircraft fuel (SAF) as well
as integrating further measures into their ongoing
operations. Thus, luxury is melded with responsible
business strategy for the future.
FULFILS HIGHEST DEMANDS
Through the modernisation of the fleet and the
expansion of its internal infrastructure, GlobeAir remains
a pioneer in private air travel. The latest developments
not only assure first-class service, but also
are a guarantee to its clients that their own everincreasing
expectations are met and exceeded. The
demand for individual flight solutions continues to
grow, and GlobeAir is ready and prepared to meet
the needs and fulfil the demands with its perfect
mixture of comfort, efficiency and luxury.
GlobeAir persists firmly and loyally to its original
claim: innovation, safety and excellent service stand
at the top of the list of priorities. Through state-ofthe-art
technology and planning which is thought
out from A to Z, the company offers luxurious, efficient
and seamlessly smooth flight experiences.
Regardless whether for business purposes or private
trips, GlobeAir will make sure that every journey
unfolds in relaxed ways, in great style, and with
no effort.

UUnder the highly competent direction of the company, an ambitious
project was turned to reality which renovated not only the
pool, but the entire garden tract.
“An organic pool unites all the advantages of a swimming pool
with those of a pond resting in nature. Thereby, bathing in an organic
pool becomes an experience utterly without any chemical
additives, since the water plants, which serve as the hallmark of all
swimming ponds, support the purely biological filter system and
provide truly natural processes of water purification and quality.
Clear, geometric forms dominate in the design of this organic pool.
It is then perfected with a filter basin that serves as an independent
tank beneath a wooden deck or as a raised reservoir with overflow,”
illuminates CEO Hannes Eder.
THE TOP-TO-TOE RENOVATION ...
... of this organic pool demonstrates just how meticulous design
and a love of detail can generate a space which is not only beautiful
for the eye to behold but also fulfils a deeper purpose and meaning.
The first step in renovating the pool was to remove the old
stone construction in order to establish ample room for a brand
new, modern aesthetic creation. The antiquated pump technology

depth of the pool was reduced to 1.5 metres. A powerful turbine

radiance of the sun. With the "Allegretto" collection, LA PREZIOSA
celebrates the lightness and cheerfulness of life. The dancing ring
of diamonds symbolizes freedom. All of the jewellery pieces in the
collection can easily be combined with one another.
“So-called 'stacking' – wearing a variety of jewellery pieces adjacent
to or right on top of one another – is a trend that simply never loses
its momentum. Our 'Allegretto' rings, armbands and necklaces are
superbly suited for this trend,” explains Gamper. “Precisely their combination
of diverse gold tones and hues is what lends these pieces of
jewellery a very particular lustre and glamour.”
THE "HIGH-JEWELLERY" COLLECTION …
... contains opulent specimens of jewellery that truly make dreams
come true. This collection comprises extraordinary valuables, most
of them are unique pieces or released in a numbered, strictly limited
edition. These are the culmination of precious gemstones, highcarat
diamonds and masterful design achieving the pinnacle of luxury.
“With our inborn feeling for design and our long years of experience
and know-how as experts in stones and diamonds, we view
the 'High-Jewellery' collection as the royal road of our creative trail,”
illuminates Hannes Gamper. “Each and every gemstone is different
and, in its own way, utterly unique. Its precious stones are reserved
for a grand entrance or for that very special occasion.” Meticulously
selected and rare precious gems such as tourmaline, for example,
such as pearls and diamonds, are the heart of the collection whose
hand-finished pieces each have a strong character and reflect the
individuality of the person who wears them.
