During the 2024–2025 academic year, our treks crossed two distinct geographies.

In autumn, we traveled to the birthplace of luxury — Paris — where maisons and grand magasins opened their doors in rare moments of stillness. Inside, we were offered an intimate view of the craft, innovation, and quiet audacity that centuries of heritage can evolve into.

In winter, we journeyed north to Scandinavia — from Copenhagen’s design corridors to Stockholm’s waterside studios — where minimalism meets mastery in spaces shaped by light and proportion. There, we discovered how clarity, craft, and cultural restraint can stand as their own expression of luxury.
