Because beautiful things are better www.bernd-gruber.at

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.

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.

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!”

THE BEAUTY OF AN ALLENCOMPASSING APPROACH IS SOMETHING WHICH LIES

T DEEPLY EMBEDDED IN

THE DNA OF POLIFORM.

This 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.

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 paper. 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 56

With over 15 years of experience, Robert Stephan has earned international recognition for crafting unique, highly curated spaces. Re-

nowned 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 Pictures: © Daniel Schäfer

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.

ROOTED IN A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE, WE EMBRACE AN INTERNATIONAL APPROACH TO SOURCING AND DESIGN, MERGED WITH OUR DEEP SENSE OF PLACE.

One striking residence was transformed into a relaxed, Californiainspired retreat through Robert Stephan’s expert curation. By integrating exquisite vintage pieces with contemporary craftsmanship, The Rope | Studio created a harmonious space exuding effortless sophistication. The furniture selection, featuring design legends such as Pierre Guariche, Pierre Chapo, and Charlotte Perriand, was complemented by an Osvaldo Borsani vintage armchair. A rare Jean Prouvé aluminum door with porthole windows adds architectural intrigue while connecting the library to the living space.

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.

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

the return of Parcours, and a stunning immersive installation by 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.

ABOUT ART BASEL Art Basel was established in 1970 by a group of galleries in Basel and today plays host to the most important art fairs for modern and contemporary art in Basel, Miami Beach, Hong Kong and Paris. Each art fair bears the signature of its respective hosting city and region, making each and every presentation quite unique. This local colour is also reflected in the list of participating galleries, in the works exhibited and in the programme of supporting events which is presented and performed for each edition in collaboration with the institutions of the host city.

The engagement of Art Basel has extended beyond the dimensions of art fairs to include new digital platforms and innovative initiatives such as The Art Basel and UBS Global Art Market Report and the Art Basel Shop. For detailed information visit artbasel.com

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.

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

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 V8biturbo 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 122

U AN ORGANIC POOL UNITES ALL

THE ADVANTAGES OF A SWIMMING

Under 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 was removed and replaced by a state-of-art efficient organic pool filter technology which implements a perfect symbiosis between ecology and comfort. By constructing new concrete walls the

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

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.
