Euromaxx Highlights

Windfall Lighting
We profile this company that is based in Munich and specializes in making custom-made chandeliers from genuine glass crystal. The results are often quite spectacular. It's all hand-made, too, and the quality is world renowned.

Discovering Oulu, Finland
The region around Oulu is known for its beautiful forests and lakes, and the city itself is situated at the mouth of the Oulujoki River. Two hundred years ago Oulu was a major trading center of wood tar to the rest of northern Europe. Today the region draws visitors in search of tranquility and beautiful scenery. But that still doesn't rule out dancing tango at a forest club.

Designer Fausto Puglisi
Fausto Puglisi is a promising new Italian designer. The Sicilian was tasked with reviving the fashion house of Ungaro back in 2012 but he also has his own label. His big break was when one very particular girl with a sharp eye for material, Madonna discovered his talents. Since then Puglisi has dressed Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, and Beyoncé. We caught up with him at Milan Fashion Week!
