F A R M H O U S E  FABULOUS | The New Magazine
ONE HUNDRED & THIRTY-TWO PAGES of painted walls in hot chocolate, thistle blues, chalked whites and salsa verde. Discover rural interiors wrapped in raw linens, putty coloured throws, vintage corduroy and woollen fleeces: this is Fabulous Farmhouse.

Salvaged flagstone floors, exposed timbers and chunky stone walling frame these rural-inspired beauts from Tuscany to the Czech Beskydy Mountains, a sanctuary in Mallorca to the wilds of Scotland.

Our first in a series of special editions: FARMHOUSE FABULOUS is your 132-page travel directory of the modern country-house depicted through stunning photography and descriptive text. If you love the country vibe, then this magazine is for you and makes a perfect gift for those who seek travel, design, escapism and style.

Publisher, editor & lifestyle guru Angelika Taschen turns her curated hand to hotel interiors.
Angelika Taschen creates a new hotel suite at Der Seehof tucked away in the Austrian countryside, a long-time creative lakeside retreat some 80km south of Salzburg. Best known perhaps for her publishing attributes, conceiving from scratch some 150 or so titles under her editorial belt, Dr. Angelika Taschen has now channeled her creative talents & brand into a new and exciting pursuance into the realms of interior design.
This is an exciting period for Angelika; alongside the recent launch of her own label, Angelika – Custom-Made Books, the Berlin based publisher is no stranger to the creative and lifestyle scenes with enviable close ties to the worlds of architecture, photography, art, interiors, travel and culture.

So the sidestep into the world of interiors comes as no surprise. Her own Berlin atelier has been featured on countless interviews, revealing an aesthetic eye of authenticity, intellect, curatorial simplicity and an edge of Bohemia, attributes that can be experienced first hand in the newly-crowned ANGELIKA SUITE at the family owned Der Seehof.

The setting is fitting as a bit of an insiders’ bolthole, it is deliciously eclectic, a creative pad that tries not too hard and is a slow-lane natural hub for fellow artisans – it also has a fabulous acclaimed restaurant, HECHT.

The suite itself is bathed in natural daylight reflected across the chalked white walls and wood planked flooring, a subtle canvas of simple elegance that echoes a sense of retreat. Clever, just enough, interventions courtesy of designer pieces and aged antique desks, play host to a “watery” visual installations of Ophelia, inspired by Shakespeare’s Hamlet, and a series”Sisters” & Rosalie the Owl, created by celebrated German photographer, Kirsten Becken.

Angelika triumphs in narrating the simplistic beauty of Der Seehof’s lakeside location while ushering a brush of boho lifestyle adding an injection of non-self importance. This is a strong, soft style narrative & demonstrates her perceptive vision of what works. Wonderful.
Der Seehof Goldegg, is a founding member of the highly curated, personable community of White Line Hotels®, just one of the 50 plus independent hotels that have natural soul and style.

INSIDE THE MAGAZINE
Rather than listing everything in alphabetical order, we have created little clusters of genres that help you to navigate our member hotels with ease: by style, vibe you want to discover, or those places that just share a passion with you – flick through the magazine to find your kinda holiday.

Style is a core passion for us and so we wanted to share our style atlas of hotels by highlighting what drew us to each particular hotel, instead of the one around the corner, or in the adjacent valley. You have our cues for style, edited by us, noted in our voice, and from personal experience.
