Do you have a favorite place at home?

My study and my oversized family bed.

What style of furnishing do you live?

Everything colorful - from antiquity to the present.

Describe your dream home

I don't like a house or a ground floor. I prefer penthouse apartments with a clear view, large living space and lots of space for the family.

What do you draw inspiration from in your facility?

From my feeling. Everything I like is beautiful.

Which color mood do you like best in your home?

It has to be colorful and life-affirming. For example, black falls out. It's actually not a color.

Where are you hiding chaos?

Wherever there is space.

Which do-it-yourself qualities do you have?

The quality of finding the best handyman and remembering their numbers.

How do you relax after a long day at work?

I sit down comfortably and hope that my husband, Mr. Karl, cooks for me.

What do you like to run on?

On slippers or a really fluffy carpet.

What is your best order tip?

Looking for someone who can keep order very well and help you with that.

Do houseplants have a happy life with you?

No, unfortunately not. Only one houseplant seems to be very happy with me, it has survived for 25 years.

If you were having dinner tonight, which menu would you conjure up for your guests?

It depends a bit on the guests and my mood. For example, today I would like to speak Thai. A good Tom Kha Gai in front, as an intermediate course Laab salad made from minced beef or papaya salad. Then a good curry and pancakes for dessert.
