Helga Ruthner
Helga Ruthner is a fashion designer from Austria. The apartment of Helga Ruthner is chaotic. A mix of piles of matrasses and futuristic object fill up the apartment almost naturally. “We have no couch but we use the matrasses to sit on.” says Ruthner. Together with her husband Philipp and her two sons the fashion-designer possesses an avant-garde paradise where nobody succeeds in standing still. More than a decennium ago, Helga and her business-partner Hermann Frankhauser made normal fashion for him and her. The eccentric character character of Ruthner and the Viennese humor colour the apartment.

Manuela Sosa
Manuela Sosa is born in Barcelona in Spain. Manuela lived twenty minutes outside of the busy city, surrouned by nature. Manuela decided to convert her love for nature into her profession. She had an education in becoming a florist. Her mom took her on endless walks through the gardens where she got inspired. Nature provides Manuela with everything she needs in life. As a florist she is inspired by her direct surroundings. This can be recognised in her house as well. A mirror made up of colours and textures found in the Catalonian landscape. Manuela shares her house with her husband, her son and her dog. In her studio she brings together her passion for architecture, flowers and art.
