From an evening by the fireplace to a book

From the fireside evening to the book

 

We wanted to write a book about our work and the way we see things and life. So we retreated to a cabin in the Alps for a weekend. We sat together late into the night, listening to music, enjoying excellent food and good wine, and discussing the one topic that each of us is committed to every day: beauty and our belief that beautiful things are better.

We have summarized the essence of these conversations in our new book.

 

>Bernd Gruber – Interior Design and Craftsmanship< soll Ihnen die Möglichkeit geben, uns und unsere Arbeit näher kennen zu lernen und sich von den Details unserer Projekte inspirieren zu lassen.

Excerpt from our fireside chat

Because beautiful things are better.

This credo, "because beautiful things are better," may sound arrogant at first glance. Not everyone has the privilege of surrounding themselves with beautiful things. Isn't there also a value judgment involved? What do we mean by "better"? Better for whom? Doesn't everyone judge beauty differently? What do we understand by beauty and what is particularly important to us in this context? How do we interpret beauty in the homes we design for people?

Everything is connected to everything else

We have now opened a bottle of white wine and are toasting our weekend together. We look out of the small windows into the cloud-covered valley. In nature, one thing flows into another. A room should also be perceived holistically. Volume, spatial design, function—we combine all of these elements. In doing so, we try to alter the naturalness of the materials as little as possible. This is how harmony is created—just like in nature.
