The guide "Urban Refuges" by Marion Hellweg offers an inspiring and comprehensive look at urban living. In a time when more than half of the world's population lives in cities, the home increasingly becomes a social focal point. The illustrated book demonstrates how individual design and creative furnishing are possible in urban spaces. From renovated old apartments to modern new-build flats, various living styles and their aesthetic possibilities are explored. Readers receive valuable suggestions on how to create true oases of well-being through the use of beautiful materials, stylish interiors, and thoughtful storage solutions. "Urban Refuges" is not just a guide, but also a tribute to the diversity and charm of urban life.
