Start the new year relaxed

Jan 04, 2026

I hope you had a wonderful time between the years and that you had a good start to 2026.

I spent New Year's Eve once again in my home village, far away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Here, unwinding suddenly comes easily: a New Year's walk through cold air and quiet streets, followed by frozen pizza on the sofa and a crime novel that wasn't too demanding (that's okay sometimes).

I like these days because they act like a small lock. You gather yourself, recover, and prepare for the next twelve months. That's precisely what cycles are for, including the cycle of the year: not as a rigid program, but as a rough guide that you can shape according to your own rhythm. In winter, it's about peace and warmth, in spring about renewed energy, in autumn about moments of reflection. And yet, no two beginnings of the year are the same. It's always also an invitation to do something new or to consciously maintain what's good.

To complement this, I've put together a selection of our coziest furniture pieces below, gathered in my little blanket nook with tea and snacks. These are pieces that instantly convey a sense of tranquility, allowing the day to unwind and flow into extended moments of pure enjoyment. As always, they've been carefully refurbished in our workshop and are ready for their second life with you. Especially now, during the time of year when home becomes so important, it's worthwhile to consciously transform your living space for ultimate comfort.
