When generosity is a feeling

Kitzbühel | Issue 56 | Winter 2024/2025

destilat sees each and every task in its most all-embracing overall context and develops sustainable interior designs which grow out of the singular needs of the people who are living there, working there, doing business and enjoying vacations there. That’s all well and good; however, in order to play in the big leagues of interior architecture it is not sufficient. Such a step requires designs which have risen directly from the realities of life and the artistic preferences of the human beings they’re being made for, as well as from the values of the enterprise which develops them.

Interior architecture which truly hits that target also has to supply a certain feeling, tell a certain story, and even – by means of little surprises – astonish those people who have presumably already seen it all, e.g. with carbonised wood made for eternity; through the uncountable facets of a monochrome inner room; with garages that would be the envy of James Bond; or office interiors in which no one wants to stay at their home office; or penthouses which literally seem to float above the rooftops, above it all.

With the National Prize for Design, Austria’s highest award in the field of design, as well as the British Dezeen Award, destilat has already set standards and placed a new benchmark of international format. As winner of two of the most significant design awards on earth, the GERMAN DESIGN AWARD 2025 and the ICONIC AWARD WINNER 2024, the trailblazing design courage of the interior architects from Linz and Vienna was dazzlingly confirmed.
