Region: Bodensee-Vorarlberg

Water and mountains are the borders. To the north, Lake Constance. In the west, towards Switzerland and Liechtenstein, it´s the Rhine River. In the south and east it´s the Alps.

It is an open minded, modern region. A very lively business and culture area. With an eye for beauty and the aesthetic. Design determines life. This was also so long ago, when the inhabitants earned their living mainly by designing and producing embroideries and material. The magnificent villas of the "Textile barons" in Dornbirn are witnesses to that time of prosperity. Today´s designers, like Wolford, produce exclusive body wear or innovative lighting systems like that from Zumtobel Staff. They also design unusual houses which make the region the European centre for modern architecture. Perfect and well thought out productions.
