Luxebook Top100

Handcrafted Luxury since 1683 The difference is Gaggenau. Gaggenau, acknowledged as the world’s leading manufacturer of high quality home appliances, founded its success on technological innovation and a clear design language combined with high functionality. T he meaning of luxury has changed for many in the past two years. Sure, it is still your favourite things preserved with care, or your experiences to be treasured forever. But as we engaged with the elite circle of leaders in the luxury industry, we found (as you will read in the following pages) that they repeatedly go back to basics when asked what luxury means to them – time with our loved ones, health and happiness, home most of all. Many now end up spending more time home online than ever before, as a way of life rather than a quarantine necessity. Homes have become the centre of the luxury universe, even as the marketplace shifts online. There are many businesses that have become a part of the luxury ecosystem, thanks to the shift in course. E-commerce, wellness, sustainability, and even the metaverse and gaming are buzzwords in the industry that tries to woo the next generation, and ride the wave of globalisation. And yet, as they say, the more things change, the more they remain the same. This issue proudly presents the leaders in luxury, some who have graced these pages before, and some who’s rise we are inspired to track.
