Embark on an extraordinary culinary adventure with A Culinary Journey Through Time

Maria Margaretha Aberer's Cookbook, a unique exploration of 18th-century cuisine based on the oldest surviving cookbook in the Bregenzerwald archive. Discovered in 1812, Maria Margaretha Aberer's handwritten recipes provide a window into the past, blending exotic ingredients with everyday crops and offering insights into the food culture of her era.

Through stunning photography by Emanuel Sutterlüty, readers are invited to delve into the curious and delightful aspects of historical diet and everyday life.

Whether you are a history enthusiast, a culinary aficionado, or simply someone who loves to cook and experiment in the kitchen, this book promises to inspire and tempt you to try out and enjoy these timeless recipes.

Exhibition: GASTGEBEN – Room(s) for hospitality

Strolz at the exhibition "Gastgeben"

June 22, 2019 - March 14, 2020 / Werkraumhaus, Andelsbuch

In the Bregenzerwald, the practice of hosting guests in private and professional contexts is a vital catalyst for innovative craftsmanship. The trades and crafts, on the other hand, have a lot to offer to hosts – at least when you interpret and practice them like the members of Werkraum Bregenzerwald. Their handcrafted products are sustainable, durable, timeless, functional. They tell stories of place and time, they are authentic, personal, one-of-a-kind, an added bonus for guests looking for something honest and real, something they can relate to and identify with.

AD Design LE GRAND GUIDE 2019 — Matteo Thun for Strolz

AD Design LE GRAND GUIDE 2019

Of craft and time

Between his two offices, the Italian designer keeps 70 assistants busy around the world. For Milan Design Week, Matteo Thun presented a series of wooden chairs called Nudes, his own definition of the sometimes overused expression “handmade in Italy.” Exclusively hand-produced by a family of artisans from a Ligurian fishing village, these ageless seats place craft and the concept of time at the heart of the creative process. M.F.
His latest collaborations: Désirée, Duravit, Fratelli Levaggi, Jaquar, Panzeri, Post Design, Strolz, Venini.

TV report: The Bregenzerwald with Strolz Leuchten

Aufgetischt am Sonntag: The Bregenzerwald with Strolz Leuchten
Diving into the Bregenzerwald requires honest interest in the new and in others, starting with the language. Noteworthy is the close cooperation with the craftsmen. Complementing each other determines the quality of the final product. This is best shown by the Werkraum Bregenzerwald, an ingenious association of craft enterprises that exhibit their best pieces. Among the 80 companies that have come together under the roof of the Werkraum, there is also Strolz Leuchten.

Quality instead of quantity & less is more

Vivienne Westwood speaks to us from the soul. She says:
"Buy less, choose well and make it last"
This statement is certainly not only valid in the fashion industry and many customers are increasingly taking this sustainable path with us. Away from the throwaway society, towards a clear commitment to the longevity of products. Without any claim to completeness, we understand sustainability as an interaction of both ecological and social aspects. So it's not just about obtaining green resources from local forests, but also about fair working conditions in every step of the production process. Even short transport routes are important, in which we pay attention to regional production.

Dornbirn is one of 1000 cities worldwide that implement this format developed in Japan for presentation events in front of an audience.

Strolz at Craft + Form 2018

We were represented with two design cooperations at Crafts + Form 2018. For this competition, which the Werkraum Bregenzerwald issues every three years, we wanted to enter into an international and a regional cooperation. For both we have found great partners - namely the Milanese architects and designers Matteo Thun & Antonio Rodriguez and the Dornbirner architect Marc Hoffenscher. The parchment lamp Brera and the lamp Petasus with the movable lampshade were exhibited in the old blacksmith's workshop in Andelsbuch.

Schubert

Schubert in the candlelight. It's as if he himself heard his music. The drawing "Puttohaft rounded in gentle loveliness" is a subtle play of light and shadow by Martha Griebler (1948 to 2006). The artist came from Lower Austria. In the last ten years of her life, she devoted herself primarily to representations from the environment of the composer Franz Schubert, his music and his circle of friends.

Collection Masterpieces — Botticelli by Strolz

The painting "The Birth of Venus" by Sandro Botticelli was created around 1485/86 and is regarded as the first female painting of modern times. The client was probably Lorenzo di Pier Francesco de 'Medici. He was in love with Simonetta Vespucci, who stood for the picture model. The goddess of love, Venus, was born out of the miraculous union of heaven and water in a shell. From the left the wind god Zephyr approaches with his wife Chloris. He blows Venus the west wind and drives them to shore. There, spring is waiting with a flower-embroidered robe. A masterpiece of art history, reinterpreted in a product of the Bregenzerwald crafts. Now also available in our online shop

Werkraum — Alphabet of Life — Nature’s Learning Lab

What design principles might we learn from nature that can be applied to designing, producing and managing life in a resource-efficient and sustainable way? These are the key issues being addressed by the current summer exhibition in the Werkraumhaus, Alphabet of Life – Nature’s Learning Lab. Strategies and patterns evolving for more than 3.8 thousand million years are investigated through the eco-system of a tree. Learning tool is an alphabet made up of 26 Principles of Nature.

Successful designs from the history of design, newly processed in a product of the Bregenzerwald handicraft. Josef Frank is not only one of the most important Austrian architects of the 20th century. With his textiles and furniture, he also set important impulses for international design. With great botanical interest, he designed his own kind of patterns. His favorites such as daisies, tulip, rose, wind, forget-me-not, violets, crocus and grape hyacinth mix with pure fantasy flowers.

Ambience — how can I do it and what role does light play here?

Furniture, floor coverings, wall colors: everything fits, and yet the room is still missing something. Here lies the strength of the right lamps. Luminaires are design objects, provide the desired brightness and a pleasant mood. It depends on the determination of the room, for which type of lamps you decide. There is the right lighting for every purpose.
