MARTIN
ALEXANDER GAUSS
Chief Executive
Officer, airBaltic

Dear Guests,
This year will take us on an amazing journey, and we are off
to a very good start, with additional attractive destinations in
store, the introduction of the worlds most modern aircraft,
and a growing family ofcustomers.
For the upcoming season, you will have a greater choice
of travel opportunities on 10 additional airBaltic routes to
such cities as Madrid, Geneva, Aberdeen, Tampere, Stavanger,
Gothenburg and Catania and we are expecting more
destinations to join this list.
All of this is possible because we have introduced the
brand-new Bombardier CS300 to our growing fleet. We are
proud to be the first airline in the world to operate this stateof-the-art aircraft. The first month of commercial flights with
the CS300 is behind us, and our customers are saying that
they feel really privileged to have flown on the most modern
narrow-body jet on theplanet.
Passengers have been genuinely interested to learn how
this plane achieves its unparalleled degree of environmental
efficiency and lower noise levels, why it flies faster and
farther than similar aircraft, why the seating feels so
comfortable and why the large luggage bins are easier to
reach, why the lighting in the cabin is different from that in
other aircraft, why the windows are so big, why the aisle is so
wide, why the lavatories are so unexpectedly spacious and so
on. We will be bringing more CS300 aircraft to our fleet in the
upcoming months, and our staff will be very happy to show
you around and answer your questions about this brand-new
jet airliner.
The addition of new and larger planes also means that
we can offer 16% more tickets this year, as the number of
available seats increases, additional flights to European
airports are introduced, and high-demand cities like
Copenhagen get an upgrade from turboprop to jet aircraft.
Thus, we expect our family of customers to continue
growing, thanks to the fact that they can now enjoy better
service than ever from airBaltic.
Thank you for flying airBaltic and have an amazingjourney!

Yours,
Martin Alexander Gauss

Backcountry skiing expedition

Cross-country skiing is an exciting winter sport


that can be practiced by people of all ages,
regardless of their level of fitness. The sport
also lets one see familiar places from a different
perspective. Those who dont fancy gliding along
specially made cross-country ski trails (of which
there are several in Riga) might consider going
out on organised expeditions to Latvias forests,
meadows, bogs and frozen lakes on special
backcountry skis. A number of entities, including
the Lzumpunkts adventure organisation, offer
interesting backcountry ski trips, complete with
equipment rentals. Make your winter holiday an
unforgettableexperience.

Both product designers and consumers


are increasingly spurning machine-made
goods for hand-crafted items, which are
seen to be more authentic and sincere.
Latvian designer Elna Dobele has gained
renown both at home and abroad
for luxury footwear and bags that are
handmade in her Riga atelier.

Linda Leen is one of Latvias best-known pop


singers, and this month she is releasing her third
solo album, Digital Church. The video clip of the
albums first single, Beyond VelvetSkin, caused
a minor scandal at the end of last year because
some erotically themed scenes intermingled with
church organ-playing episodes. Leen will embark
on a nationwide concert tour in March.

Self-serve wine dispensers in bars and restaurants are


popping up like mushrooms all over Europe. These
automated wine-tasting systems are more than a mere
style statement. Wine bar clients say that they gain
the opportunity to try out several wines in one visit
and learn more about them. Now the Milti bistro in
Riga is also offering such a service. The family-friendly
establishment houses a large playroom for children.

The paintings that Laima Bike (b. 1970) creates
are not loud, as she seeks neither to shock nor to
provoke the viewer. Instead, the talented Latvian
artist sees her mission as providing joy to other
people. Her painting style can be described
as sensitive, tonally nuanced and powerful at
the same time. Aside from painting, Bike also
illustrates books.

cities have as many fresh architectural symbols


as Hamburg. The new philharmonic, or Elbphilharmonie
(Platz der Deutschen Einheit 1; elbphilharmonie.de), became
a symbol of the city even before opening its doors. Now, the
time has finally come for the curtain to rise: on January 11,
the 2,100-seat auditorium will experience its gala opening
concert. The building was designed by Herzog & de Meuron,
and its glass wave is visible from a great distance.
The Elbphilharmonie is on the site of what was once the
ports largest warehouse. The historic Neo-Gothic building
was completely destroyed during the Second World War
but was built anew in 1963. It kept its old function even
into the 1990s, storing tea, coffee and cocoa. The former
structure is now blended into the new philharmonic, which
appears to be constructed on its roof, retaining a simple
cubic silhouette. Two seemingly different worlds now come
together in a single ensemble one in weighty brick, rooted
in the earth, its piles driven into the riverbed of the Elbe;
the other reflecting the sky and the clouds. The new glass
waves highest point reaches 110 metres, while a panoramic
terrace beckons at 37 metres above ground level. With
4,000 m2 of space, the terrace could easily compete with
Hamburgs Rathaus Square. The Great Hall is acoustically
among the best in Europe and is located 50metres above
the water level. The entire project far exceeded its original
budget, costing 789 million euros instead of the planned
241million. Besides the concert halls, the complex includes
a hotel andresidences.
If youre into fine automobiles, then the Automuseum
PROTOTYP offers you an exclusive opportunity to see
nine iconic BMW Art Cars at once (Shanghaiallee 7;
prototyp-hamburg.de; until March 19). These cars became
canvases for famous artists like Andy Warhol (BMW M1
Gruppe 4, 1979), Frank Stella (BMW 3.0 CSL, 1976), Roy
Lichtenstein (BMW 320 Gruppe 5, 1977) and Jeff Koons
(BMWM3 GT2, 2010). Youll also get a chance to see the car
that began the BMW Art Cars series, Alexander Calders
redone 1975 BMW 3.0 CSL. It was inspired by the French
racer Herv Poulain. Calder used bright primary colours,
literally wrapping the car in fields of paint to create the
illusion of movement. This was also one of Calders last
works the car competed at Le Mans, and the artist passed
away that same year.
The Museum fr Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg (MKG)
presents the exhibition sports/no sports (Steintorplatz;
mkg-hamburg.de; until April 20), exploring the relationship
between sports clothing and street fashion across 120years
of history. Its the first large exhibition of this kind in
Germany, featuring 150 displays of posters, photographs,
films and, yes, clothing. One part showcases what
were astounding technological innovations in their time,
borrowed by the fashion world from sports world such
as a jersey once promoted by Coco Chanel. The flow in
the other direction isnt forgotten either take the work
of well-known designers Stella McCartney and Yohji
Yamamoto with the sports brand Adidas, for example. There
are also a number of oddities, such as the reference to Fidel
Castros meeting with Pope Francis last year in a track suit.

place for almost as long as artists have been painting,


the geometric expansion of the art market and the rise
in prices for artworks, as well as amazing advances in
technology, mean that the scandals swirling around
forgeries are occurring far more often than before. Even
the most expert of experts at prestigious museums
often find it difficult to tell the difference between an
authentic artwork and a fake. At the exhibition Under
the Microscope. Gustave Courbet, which is now on
view at Norways National Gallery (Universitetsgata
13; nasjonalmuseet.no; until February 5), one of these
thrilling stories is told in detail.
In 1947, the museum received Pcheur la ligne (The
Fisherman) by Gustave Courbet (18191877) as a gift, but
Courbet experts in France long doubted the paintings
authenticity. Their doubts were accentuated by the
fact that Courbets style is easily imitated and the
famous artist is therefore one of the most frequently
counterfeited. He painted about 500 works, but
collections worldwide hold about 5000pieces attributed
to him. Many forgeries have been discovered in recent
years, but in the case of Pcheur la ligne, countless
examinations testify to its authenticity. The Oslo
exhibition is a visual story of how the museum reached
thisconclusion.
Connoisseurs of fine design and fashion should
check out the new Norwegian luxury shoe store Faust
(Dronning Eufemias gate 10; fauststore.no), whose
interior was designed by the well-known architectural
firm Snhetta. The store's logo was inspired by Johann
Wolfgang von Goethes 17th-century manuscripts of
Faust. The Oslo store offers tailor-made originals as well
as handmade ready-to-wear shoes. Craftsmanship in the
form of elegance, high-quality materials and their skilful
use is the stores primary message. The store harbours
five vaulted niches that call houses of worship to mind,
while bridging the 21st century with the period in which
Goethe composed his work. Each niche has a particular
function one displays finished examples of shoes,
another serves as a dressing room, while a third houses
the craftsmensinstruments.
Theres also a new place in Oslo for good beer, burgers
and other grilled food. Tre Stuer og Bar (Darres gate 1)
means three living rooms and a bar in Norwegian. The
dark blue walls and ceilings as well as the wooden floors
and tables with retro brass details make this a cosy
locale. Its a perfect place to take a break on a wintry day
in the Norwegian capital.

romance between the hotel industry and


contemporary art is a global trend by now, as the
public spaces of hotels are often a cross between
miniature museums and art galleries. Despite this
trend, not too many hotels dare to be as extreme as
the art'otel Berlin Mitte (Wallstrae 70-73; artotels.
com; rooms from 80 euros), which has devoted its
walls to only a single artist, the German painter, graphic
artist and sculptor Georg Baselitz (b. 1938). Recently
reconstructed, the hotel has a collection of 328 works
by the artist, displayed in both the public spaces and
in each of the 190 guest rooms. Baselitzs prints range
from classic engravings and etchings to linocuts. Three
large linocuts grace the hotel lobby, each with an eagle
motif that reflects the vicissitudes of German history.
The corridors on the first and second floors feature
etchings from the 1974 series Trees. Along with artwork,
the hotel is also exhibiting catalogues and books
devoted to Baselitz, giving guests the opportunity to
learn about the artist, his works and his philosophy. In
addition, the hotel offers an arts tour of the premises,
which subtly echo Baselitz in their design and colour
scheme. The Upside Down restaurant, for its part, recalls
Baselitzs best-known theme the world literally turned
upside down.
The Sir Savigny Hotel (Kantstrae 144;
hotel-sirsavigny.de; rooms from 150 euros) on the citys
west side in Charlottenburg offers an unusual aesthetic
experience. Inspired by the Art Deco architecture of
the surrounding neighbourhood, the hotel calls up the
illusion of an aristocratic mansion that has somehow
escaped the modernisation of the outside world and
ambles along in an older rhythm, keeping its established
traditions despite the changes of the 21st century. The
secretive proprietor of the 44-room hotel is obviously
a bon vivant, as we can see and feel from the luxurious
textures, velvet and jewel-like hues, visible penchant for
fine literature and other Old World pleasures. He has
travelled about collecting vintage furniture, which finds
its way into the rooms and joins custom-made pieces. A
library holds Sir Savignys collection of books. The hotel
is the latest branch of the Dutch chain SIR.
Speaking of nostalgic moods, who doesnt remember
playing a beloved vinyl record, the needle perhaps
skipping a groove of a disc played again and again?
Digital recordings and Spotify may have made these
sensations rarer, but many of us still have a sentimental
attachment to vinyl. The artwork on album covers
also drew people into music and was occasionally
designed by prominent artists. Album covers were
very much a part of the listening experience, and the
exhibition Total Records at the C/O Berlin gallery
(Hardenbergstrae22-24; co-berlin.org; until April 23)
is showcasing an incredible collection of 20th-century
album covers, both legendary and lesser known. There
are more than 500album covers on display, dating
from the 1960s to 2000. Among the better known
musicians who found a synergy with album designers
are the Rolling Stones (with Robert Frank), INXS
(with photographer Helmut Newton), Madonna (with
HerbRitts) and Iggy Pop (with artist Jeff Wall). BO

The square where the cathedral and the bell


tower stand today was previously part of a castle
and surrounding wall. The bell tower is the only
remaining part of this medieval fortification. The
tower was built in the 13th century and most of its
ground floor has survived to this day. During the 16th
century, the defensive tower was transformed into
the bell tower of the adjacent cathedral and gained
its current appearance in the 19th century. The height
of the tower is 52 metres, with the tip of the cross
extending upward for another five metres. Visitors
can climb to the top floor (at 50 metres in height)
and enjoy an impressive panoramic view of Vilnius.
The bell tower has two important features
the bells and the clock. The bells have seen many
transformations over the years. During past wars,
previous bells were dismantled and melted down for
the production of munitions, only to be fashioned
anew and reinstalled in more peaceful periods.
During the Soviet occupation (1940-1991), the
bells of other closed churches were taken to the
cathedrals bell tower with the intention of creating
a carillon a musical instrument composed of
at least 23 bells. However, the idea was scrapped

because the collected bells didnt sound good


together. Nowadays, six bells weighing from 475 to
2,500 kilograms ring to mark the start and the end
of each day, to invite worshippers to Mass and to
mark special occasions.

The height of the tower is


52 metres, with the tip of
the cross extending upward
for another five metres

The clock of the cathedrals bell tower is the oldest


and most significant in the Lithuanian capital. It
was made in Germany by an unknown master and
installed in 1672. The clock has only one hand, whose
rounded end is decorated with a moon crescent. The
sharp spike on the crescent indicates the hour. The
bells ring out every 15 minutes to mark each quarter
hour. In addition, the bells that mark the time are
different from the other bells in the tower their
sound is sharper and echoes less, making it easier to
count the strokes. BO

If a bartender respects his


guests, then they will respect
him, too. Overfamiliarity
undermines this! goes a
credo by Charles Schumann,
one of Munichs most
famousbartenders.
The fact that Munichs bar and pub scene isnt
only about beer is partly his merit. The New
York Times has called his manual American
Bar (1995), of which 300,000 copies were
sold, the drink mixers bible. Schumann
was the bartender at Munichs first serious
cocktail venue, Harrys New York Bar, in 1974.
Eight years later, he opened Schumanns
American Bar, with a reduced Modernist
layout, Thonet chairs and dark wood panels.
Since then, the man has become a

ome say that the origins of the


snowboard date back to 1965,
when engineer Sherman Poppen
created a wide monoski in the
state of Michigan for the amusement of
his children. He patented his invention and
named it the Snurfer. Others claim that the
first snowboard goes back to the year 1939,
when 13-year-old Vern Wicklund made a
modified sled, which he used on the snowy
hills of his native Minnesota. Still others say
that the roots of the snowboard go back
150years to Turkey, where locals used long
wooden boards to travel across thesnow.
Early commercial snowboards, which
looked somewhat like surfboards, began
to be retailed during the 1970s. Fierce
competition ensued between the two
largest snowboard manufacturers in the
USA, Burton Board and Sims. The most
expensive snowboard ever was a 1977 Burton
Board model, which sold on eBay in 2014 for
more than three million USdollars.
Up until the late 1980s, snowboarders
were a rare sight at mountain ski resorts.
They were even banned from some
places, mainly because snowboarding was
considered to be a dangerous sport practiced
mostly by rebellious teenagers. Even today,

32 | AIRBALTIC.COM

My career as a fashion journalist


began with the fall of the Iron
Curtain. Thats also when I began to
collect editions of Vogue magazine.
For quite a few years, these
publications were my bible. Then,
all kinds of changes took place on
the fashion scene. Gianni Versace
and Yves Saint-Laurent passed away.
Tom Ford and Gucci parted ways.
And in the face of intense corporate
pressure, Valentino announced his
retirement from the fashion industry.
Meanwhile, fashion magazines
gradually morphed from sources
of inspiration to luxury catalogues.
I stopped collecting them, partly
because my shelves had become
full to the brim, and partly because
I realised that I was leafing through
these magazines less and less often.
A long relationship was drawing
toa close.
However, my penchant for
collecting remains undiminished.
For the past three years, I have been
collecting conversations, which
have materialised in the form of
the printed magazine Arterritory
Conversations with Collectors.
Some of my interview subjects
are on the ARTnews list of the
worlds top 200collectors, but
actually, thats not so important.
They are all incredibly interesting
people, and whenever they speak
about their collections, their eyes
literally light up.
According to French-American
entrepreneur and philanthropist
Jean Pigozzi, who owns the largest
collection of contemporary African
art in the world, Collecting is an
incurable disease. If you have a
problem with alcohol, you can go
to Alcoholics Anonymous. You can
go cure yourself from drugs, but
there's nothing that you can do for
collecting except if you have no
more money, which is possible. Or

if you have no more space, which is


also possible.
Lately, more and more people
have been catching the collectors
bug, particularly when it comes to
contemporary art. Collecting is an
in thing to do, and definitely not
the worst disease that one can
catch. While non-collectors live a
single life, collectors live multiple
lives, devoting themselves to
activities that are separated from
their daily routines.
Its more fun finding something
to add to your collection than it is
buying shares in IBM. Its the same
activity, but with no downside. It
keeps the mind active, and you
end up with something beautiful,
American art collector Daniel Wolf
tells me as we sit on the terrace
of his New York apartment. Being
the proud owner of 15 different
collections, he knows what hes
talking about. One collection is of
19th- and 20th-century photographs,
another is of contemporary art, while
still another is of quartz crystals.
Currently, Wolf is rebuilding a former
prison to house all of the items that
he has gathered. A similar crazy
man lives right across the street. He
is an American artist named Richard
Prince and he collects rare books,
which serve as sources of inspiration
for his artwork.
Collections are reflections of their
collectors, revealing the things that
they like and the choices that they
have made.
Collecting is a never-ending
process, which makes it particularly
appealing. As Austrian pianist and
conductor Michael Klaar who has
been collecting things from the
age of 13 and who owns a superb
collection of 20th-century minimalist
and conceptual art aptly
pointsout:
Each piece that comes into a
collection does not bring it towards
a possible end. No. The opposite
happens. Each piece widens up ones
space of thinking.
Indeed, collecting is one of the
healthiest forms of mental and
emotional fitness, as it can be
practiced long after you stop playing
tennis and no longer feel up to
golfing. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
once said that collectors are happy
people. How could one not agree
with him? BO

For many winter sports enthusiasts, aprs-skievents and

exhibition in Paris
The design year traditionally begins in Paris with the Maison
& Objet exhibition, which usually takes place at the end of
January (this year from the 20th to the 24th). Although it is
considered to be an international trade fair in which furniture
manufacturers show their latest products, the main emphasis
of Paris Maison, as it is known among professionals, is on
interior decorations and accessories. The first Maison & Objet
exhibition took place in the French capital in 1995, with the
goal of uniting seven separate annual exhibitions that had
been taking place in different fields and had not drawn much
international attention. Putting them all together in one pot,
so to speak, has paid off handsomely, and now Maison & Objet
is of comparable significance to other well-known annual
exhibitions in the field, such as Salone del Mobile in Milan,
100% Design in London and Ambiente in Frankfurt.
Several thousand brands are represented and the event
is attended by tens of thousands of visitors. Since the usual
American and Asian exhibitions will not take place in either
2017 or 2018, there may be more visitors than usual to this
years Maison & Objet. As opposed to Salone del Mobile,
which was set up specifically to promote Italian design and
furniture, Maison & Objet does not officially give preferential
treatment to local brands. Nevertheless, French people are
quite patriotic, and some French companies, such as the Ligne
Roset furniture manufacturer, choose to present their latest
products in January at Maison & Objet, rather than at the
bigger Salone del Mobile in Milan. BO

OUR EXPERTS

Along with fashion styles, restaurant and


food trends also change over the seasons.
What can we expect on the gastronomy
scene in 2017? Here is what three of Rigas
best chefs have to say on the matter.
Text by ILZE VTOLA
Publicity photos

Vegetable products

Due to increasing concern about the darker aspects of the meat


packing industry and a growing emphasis on healthier lifestyles,
vegetables are gaining a more prominent place on lunch and
dinner tables. If previously youd find a large hunk of meat on
your plate and a small portion of vegetables to accompany it,
then nowadays the proportions are being reversed.
However, burgers, hot dogs and kebabs are in no danger
of becoming obsolete, as their main ingredient meat is
being substituted by no less tasty alternatives, such as quinoa
patties, tofu sausages and falafel. The resurgence of vegetables
can also be seen in the appearance of new food products,
such as yoghurts in beet, carrot, sweet potato and other
vegetableflavours.
The demand for organically grown products, as well as wild
berries and mushrooms, will continue to increase. Kale will
remain popular as a superfood, as will black or fermented garlic,
which has been introduced to the West through Asian cuisine.
One new arrival to restaurant kitchens is oyster leaf a hardy
northern plant with leaves that taste like oysters.

Chefs menu and homemade products

Restaurant outings are becoming less formal and kids no longer


have to be left with their grandparents for the evening, but can
embark on gastronomic adventures together with their parents.
Brunches will be as popular as ever, while the demand for
chefs menus will increase. We will also see more delivery-only
restaurants being created. Last year, for example, chef David
Chang the recipient of two Michelin stars launched this type
of virtual restaurant in New York City. Unmanned drones will also
be used more often for meal deliveries in someplaces.

Polynesian cuisine will come to the fore in 2017. Instead of


the usual Greek salad, you might choose to order a traditional
Hawaiian salad with fish marinated in lime juice. Refugees from the
Middle East and elsewhere, for their part, will provide exotic taste
contributions, combining their national gastronomic traditions with
European dishes to create new fusion recipes. Nevertheless, French
and Italian dishes will still be in highdemand.
More diners will ask for gluten- and lactose-free dishes, while
giving preference to local and seasonal products, which will be
featured in separate menus. Restaurants will also make more
foods that they have previously sourced elsewhere as ready-made
products such as jam and bread in their ownkitchens.

DIY

More people will host fine dining evenings in their own homes and
will go out to restaurants not only on special family occasions,
blurring the strict distinction between restaurant and homemade
meals. Dishes prepared at home will become visually more intricate
and look very similar to restaurant meals, with an increased
emphasis on their aesthetic appearance for the benefit of both
invited dinner guests and Instagramfollowers.
Looking from the health aspect, vegetables such as zucchini will
be used in place of flour to make spaghetti noodles and other foods.
Similarly to the case in restaurants, more people will make their own
jams and marinated foods in their homekitchens.
The latest technologies will continue to make their way into
private residences in the form of slow-cookers, multifunctional
kettles, remote-controlled ovens and other gadgets to make nonprofessional home cooking even more convenient. Nevertheless,
the main kitchen tools sharp knives, cast iron kettles and reliable
baking ovens will not lose their value. BO

GET YOUR
CREATIVITY FIX IN

LONDON

42 | AIRBALTIC.COM

The

legendary Norwegian
artist Edvard Munch was
treated by his doctor
in Copenhagen for
alcoholism and a nervous breakdown with electric
shock therapy. Unfortunately, the artists periods of
reprieve were not very lengthy. Ive always thought
of London as a type of electric shock, too, although
in a positive sense. The city is a wonderful cure for
creative exhaustion and, even if thats not what
ails you, it acts like a stimulating drug, giving you a
welcome dose of energy. Theres always something
going on in London, always something new in the
city. It literally draws people in and inspires them
to think outside of the box, so to speak. Thats why
a trip to London is like a mandatory creative fix
that one should partake in once a year. In fact, now
is the time to go and get the New Year off to an
inspiringstart!
London does not lack for things to do and see.
The new home of the Design Museum opened at
the end of 2016 on the south side of Holland Park
in Kensington. The unique reconstruction of the
iconic building was planned by two starchitects, John
Pawson and Rem Koolhaas (OMA), and their offices.
Built in the 1960s and designed by Robert Matthew
(RMJM), the original building was considered fairly
pompous at the time. It served as the home of
the Commonwealth Institute and was one of the
most vivid pieces of postwar architecture in the
city, embodying both Modernism and Imperial
reminiscences. It is said that the floors were made
of Nigerian wood, the 25 tonnes of copper used for
the buildings extravagant parabola-style roof (which
resembles a soaring work of origami) came from
Zambia, and the aluminium was imported from
Canada. The Commonwealth Institute, however,
slowly slipped into decline in the 1980s, and in 2002
it ceased activities altogether.
Today, the original roof structure has been
preserved and thoroughly cleaned, while the original
blue-grey glazed brick faade has been replaced with
a double glazed skin, thereby allowing natural light
to enter the building. The floor space has also been
significantly increased from 6000 m2 to 10,000 m2
by the addition of two floors under the buildings
original foundation.
However, the most intriguing part of the new
Design Museum is the interior, Pawsons first public
project of such a scale. As soon as you step inside,
take a look upwards. The open-style roof structure
will take your breath away and is almost shocking
in its monumentalism. The galleries are situated

around an impressive atrium and are accessed via


an LED-lighted oak staircase, which is one of the
central elements of the interior and also serves as
a viewing platform. Climb up to the very top floor
and youll practically be able to touch the roof
structure, bringing the experience of design and
architecture to new levels. Pawson himself has
described the museums interior as a box with a
hat on.
The reconstruction is estimated to have cost
83 million pounds sterling. The new museum
contains two large spaces for changing exhibitions
as well as a library, rooms for instruction and the
Parabola restaurant with views of Holland Park. The
permanent exhibition, titled Designer, Maker, User,
is now open to visitors free of charge. It contains
more than 1,000 objects presented from the point
of view of the designer, the manufacturer and the
user, thereby giving visitors a cross-section of the
whole designprocess.
One of the opening exhibitions Fear and
Love: Reactions to a Complex World recounts

Theres always something


going on in London,
always something new in
the city
how the turbulent emotions and problems of an
era are directly reflected in design. It contains 11
design projects created by the most provocative
contemporary architects and designers. Among
them are the OMA architectural firm and Cyprusborn, London-based fashion designer Hussein
Chalayan. OMAs installation, The Pan-European
Living Room, takes a slightly sarcastic look at the
recent Brexit saga. The stylised living room interior
is made up of 28 design objects, one from each
member state of the European Union. The colours
of the flags of all 28 countries are displayed on
one wall, thereby accenting the significance of
cooperation among the nations as well as their
physical reflection in the private spaces of Europes
inhabitants. Chalayan, for his part, has created a
series of wearable gadgets that tap and transmit
the wearers emotions to the world outside.
His installation, called Room Tone, is a story of
suppressed fear. The side effects of urban living
have led to widespread neuroses, which are now so
common that visiting a therapist is as normal as
brushing ones teeth.

THE APPLE STORE ON REGENT STREET,


RENOVATED BY SIR NORMAN FOSTER AND
FOSTER + PARTNERS, IS ALSO ON THE LIST OF
LONDONS NEW DESIGN DESTINATIONS. In
2004, the store became the technology giants first
foothold in Europe. Today, it is an absolute must-visit
destination for those with a penchant for gadgets
and design. The gigantic space, with its white walls
and light-coloured oak furniture serving as podiums
for the newest high-tech devices, is divided into three
separate zones: Avenue, Boardroom and Forum.
Right in the middle of the store, the Avenue is lined
with real, authentic, green trees growing in huge
pots. If people who spend all of their time staring
at computer screens see Nature only virtually, then
Nature needs to remind them that shes still here.
What else can be done if this is the only way that
people can be brought to their senses? The scene
is quite surreal, like an industrial park in which
the trees cast shadows on tablets, telephones and
computers instead of sculptures.
Across the river, hordes of cultural tourists are still
surging to Tate Moderns new addition, which opened
last summer. In the middle of the day, the place feels
as busy as an anthill. To reach the viewing terrace
on the buildings 10th floor its most popular tourist
attraction youll have to spend a good 30 minutes

twisted pyramid and is the brainchild of the wellknown architectural firm Herzog & de Meuron. With

The new home of the Design Museum opened


at the end of 2016 on the south side of Holland
Park in Kensington

IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT 650,000 PEOPLE WILL


VISIT LONDONS DESIGN MUSEUM IN ITS FIRST
YEAR. You can imagine how proud Sir Terence
Conran, the 85-year-old founder of the museum,
is today. At one time, he upended the views that
Europeans
held about
contemporary
living spaces, and
he is still one of the
most influential
people on the
design scene.
Conran was born
in 1931 and studied
textile design in London. Later, during a trip to France,
he became so inspired by the simple but wonderful
food, by small shops selling kitchen utensils and by
French country markets that he wished to introduce
something similar to Great Britain.
In 1953, Conran opened his first restaurant, The
Soup Kitchen, which served not only soups but
also espresso coffee, a variety of cheeses and apple
tarts. In 1956, he founded the Conran Design Group,
which works with interior, furniture and graphic
design. In1964, he founded Habitat, which joined
the Beatles, Mary Quants miniskirt, Carnaby Street

Until 1989, the Design


Museum was located in a
former banana warehouse on

and other cool symbols of London. At the time,


the store, which has since grown into an empire,
offered a completely new experience of interior
design. Simple forms, natural materials, fresh
colour palettes and reasonable prices made good
design available to the mass market. Until 1989,
the Design Museum that Conran helped to found
was located in a former banana warehouse on the
banks of the Thames the first museum in the
world devoted to the study and popularisation
ofdesign.
However, the Design Museums new building
is not the only new project in London associated
with Conran. This year, the Conran Group received
the prestigious Restaurant & Bar Design Award
for its German Gymnasium restaurant design. The
restaurants building was originally constructed in
1864 for the German Gymnastic Society and hosted
the countrys first National Olympic Games in
1866. The German Gymnasium is located between
the Kings Cross and St. Pancras railway stations
in London. Its style is a down-to-earth version of
the legendary European Grand Caf style, like that
found at Le Train Bleu, the restaurant in the Gare
de Lyon station in Paris. Many of the buildings
historical details have been preserved, combining a
19th-century robustness with 21st-century design.

this new addition, Tate Modern has now increased


its total space by 60%. In fact, the gigantic complex
is almost like an art village, and youll probably
require more than one day to see it all.
Right now, Tate Modern is hosting an exhaustive
Robert Rauschenberg retrospective, the largest since
the American artists death in 2008 at the age of 82.
Even though Rauschenberg is often called the first
postmodernist and the father of pop art, he does
not fit into one specific box. Throughout his career,
which lasted more than six decades, he constantly
defied boundaries, whether in painting, photography,
sculpture, performance, graphic art or creative
collaborations. His long-time collaboration partners
included John Cage (1912-1992), ballet dancer and
choreographer Merce Cunningham (1919-2009),
and various scientists and engineers with whom
he later founded the Experiments in Art and
Technologyorganisation.
Rauschenbergs best-known series of works is
Combines (1953-1964), in which he combined a
variety of objects (newspaper and magazine cuttings,
scraps of clothing, leftover construction materials,
all sorts of litter and found objects from the streets
of New York City) in compositional strategies of
abstract expressionism, thereby erasing the borders
between painting, sculpture and collage. One of
the most iconic pieces from this series is Bed, a
collage consisting of a worn pillow, sheet and
blanket splashed with paint in a Jackson-Pollack-like

in his early days as an actor. In the more recent past, this was
the home of the large and impersonal Crowne Plaza Hotel,
memories of which the Ace Hotel designers (Universal Design
Studio) incorporated into the new interior in the form of bare
concrete walls and bricks. In a nod to the craftsmens workshops
formerly found in the area, which have now been replaced by
high-tech industry and multimedia offices, most of the furniture
in the hotels lobby has been made by local designers and
manufacturers. The elevator up to the rooms is located in the
farthest corner, apparently so that it does not interfere with the
rest of theatmosphere.
The hotels guest rooms are like small apartments. My
room at the Ace Hotel London Shoreditch feels like the flat of
a rock stars college-age offspring. Vintage elements merge
with contemporary design, a quilt covers the bed, and a guitar
hangs on the wall, ready for guests to take into their hands and
play a few riffs. Im sure plenty of people do just that. A British
Revo radio and a metal teacup stand next to the books on the
metal shelf. As a previous guest aptly remarked, the white-tiled
bathroom and its black-topped vanity and jeans-patterned tissue
box remind one of a barber shop. Industrial graffiti adorns one
of the rooms walls. It was made by young local artists, most of
whom come from a street art background. The hallway walls, for
their part, are covered in a stylised wallpaper made of pages from
a pokerhandbook.

REGARDING ACCOMMODATIONS, NO PLACE


EMBODIES LONDONS CREATIVE SPIRIT AS WELL
AS THE ACE HOTEL LONDON SHOREDITCH. At first
glance, its hard to tell whether this is a hotel, a club
or a private meeting space. Its also hard to distinguish
the hotel guests from the locals, because the lobby
feels like a co-working space, with about 20 people
sitting around a long wooden table, engrossed in
their screens. Large hotels, of which the 258-room
Ace Hotel London Shoreditch is one, are usually small
worlds unto their own, separate from the cities around
them. But this is definitely not the case here. In fact,
the opposite is true the Ace Hotel has managed
to become the energetic epicentre of the entire
neighbourhood. In the mornings, the hotels small
and charming Hoi Polloi brasserie is a favourite spot
for locals to have breakfast. In the evenings, a DJ plays
in the bar, while later at night, the nightclub in the
basement opens its doors. The hotel even has a small
art gallery and restaurant, which is accessed, of all
things, through a flowershop.
Its difficult to imagine that not so very long ago,
the now-fashionable neighbourhood of Shoreditch,
formerly a working-class area with the accompanying
host of problems, was practically abandoned.
Bordellos were common in the 17th century, and a
vestige of that era in the form of a gentlemens
club can be found just a few hundred metres from
the hotel. Across the street from the club is a market
where you can pick up a gyros or freshly baked waffles.
Just a little way further is Redchurch Street. Full of
small and stylish shops, the street feels like a separate
little republic specialising in charming and personal
shopping experiences. Thats a feeling you can no
longer find in central London.
Shoreditch was also Londons first theatre district.
One of those theatres, the Shoreditch Empire music
hall, opened in 1856 where the Ace Hotel now stands.

What is your favourite neighbourhood


andwhy?
Hackney Wick. It has a wonderful and diverse
artistic community and a great vibe, but its
in danger of being gentrified. The more that
visitors make the point of this culture having
to be preserved, the better!
What is your favourite art space?
A difficult question, as there are so many
brilliant spaces in London. At the moment
Id say Cubitt, Studio Voltaire and Gasworks.
All are a combination of artists studios and
gallery spaces. They have introduced me
to exciting new curators and artists. Ask for
Fabio, Joe or Alessio, the respective directors,
who bring the spaces to life and make a visit
so veryworthwhile!
What is the current must-see art exhibition
inLondon?
Definitely the Robert Rauschenberg exhibition
at Tate Modern. His work still leads the way
in many respects. Choreographer-artist Alex
Baczynski-Jenkins at the Chisenhale Gallery.
Hes a major figure in performance art. Also
check out Condo, a collaborative exhibition
by 36 galleries across 15 spaces in London
(condocimplex.org).
Could you name three of your
favouriterestaurants?
The Clove Club for its buttermilk fried chicken
and its social conscience, having opened
Chickentown in Tottenham by preparing
healthy fried chicken for the community at
low prices.
Rochelle Canteen for its hidden location,
excellent changing menu and artcrowd.
The Wolseley is a great, central Old World
classic with a nonstop atmosphere. It was
frequented daily by the late Lucian Freud.
What is your favourite walking route?
From Primrose Hill into Regents Park, down
Marylebone High Street to Old Bond Street,
on to Piccadilly and via the ICA into St. James
Park. For those whod like to venture out of
the city centre, walk The Line, Londons first
dedicated modern and contemporary art walk
between the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
and the O2 Arena, following the waterways
and the line of the Greenwich meridian.
What is the biggest stereotype about the
British capital, and is it true?
That London is the most exciting and
culturally versatile destination in the world.
Yes, that is absolutely true!

London is undergoing huge development. Theres an


incredible burst of properties that are being built right now

BEEN LAUNCHED BY THE MAYORS


OFFICE, PROPERTY DEVELOPERS AND
THE OUTSET CONTEMPORARY ART
FUND PHILANTHROPIC ORGANISATION.
The project was founded as a response
to a 2014 study that London could lose
3,500artist studios over the next five
years. Thats a full third of what is needed
for the creative industries to flourish. The
goal of Studiomakers is to work together
with property developers to create new and
reasonably priced studio spaces in London,
thereby concentrating creative energy in
the city and not letting it flow away to
Berlin, Brussels and other European cities,
where many artists have already fled due
to rising rent prices in Great Britain.
London is undergoing huge
development. We have developments of
tens of thousands of flats, we have new
areas in the city. Theres an incredible burst
of properties that are being built. But when
these developments happen, they very
often become like ghost cities beautiful
and very luxurious flats, but they have no
life to them.
We know that life comes from
creativity, and we also know from the
property developers themselves that they
often dont know how to deal with the
ground-floor space of their buildings. They
want to rent out the flats, but then they
maybe put in a bank on the ground floor,
or maybe a Costa Coffee or Starbucks, a
Tesco Express for food. But nobody wants
to live in a place like that. Especially if
youve spent so much money on a flat,
you want something cultural, you want a
nice restaurant that has something very

personal. So, if youre a big developer and


you develop 20,000 flats, give a small
percentage to the creatives. Let them
pay 9 to 18 pounds per square foot all
inclusive, not 120, and make your place the
place where everybody wants to be, says
Candida Gertler, the founder of Outset,
adding that even many well-known artists
are looking for studio space.
Studio rates are going up, and artists
are being forced to leave because their
leases are coming to an end due to those
developments. These are prominent
artists. I call them our national treasures.
These people represent us at biennials,
they give us works of art that millions
of people go to see. They attract
cultural tourism, and a huge economy is
connected to that. Every fourth tourist
says that culture is their main reason
for coming to London. So, its hugely
important economically as well as
socially and, I think, culturally as well,
continuesGertler.
According to the British Office of
National Statistics, a record-setting 31.5
million tourists visited London in 2015.
The main draws were the Rugby World
Cup and exhibitions at the citys museums
and galleries, especially Savage Beauty, a
retrospective of British fashion designer
Alexander McQueens work at the Victoria
and Albert Museum. In 2016, the biggest
tourist magnet is said to have been the
above-mentioned Tate Modern new
addition. Cultural tourism brings 3.2 billion
pounds of revenue to the citys economy
each year and employs approximately
80,000people across London.

January INTERVIEW

FUTURE

our first idea of fashion capitals likely doesnt


include the Baltic States, since Milan and Paris
are generally seen as the hubs of design in the
Western world. However, Latvias best-known
fashion designers, MAREUNROLS, are proving that
innovative fashion can also be found in airBaltics home
city of Riga.
Established in 2005, the brand MAREUNROLS is the
creative partnership of Rolands Pterkops and Mrte
Mastia-Pterkopa, a husband-and-wife team that
met while studying at the Riga School of Design and
Art. Less than two decades after the fall of the Soviet
Union, Pterkops and Mastia created their brand in an
environment with few sources of local inspiration and
even fewer competitors. Even the capitalist structures
necessary to market and sell garments had barely
beenestablished.
MAREUNROLS nonetheless burst onto the scene
with an unprecedented triumph at the 24thInternational
Festival of Fashion and Photography in Hyres, France, in
2009. Mastia and Pterkops were the first designers to
win the festivals two main awards, the Grand Prix LOral
and the 123 Award, with a single entry. Their victory paved
the way for more milestones: MAREUNROLS was the first
Latvian brand to be featured in the official programme of
Paris Fashion Week and has been cited as one the worlds
most exciting fashion brands in several publications.
Baltic Outlook met with one half of the design
team, Rolands Pterkops, as he took a break from
MAREUNROLS busy Riga studio to talk about the duos
past, present and plans for the future.

TOP LATVIAN DESIGNERS


MAREUNROLS

Lets start with what youre working on at the


moment. Youve just returned to Riga from travels
abroad. Where are you coming from?
I was lecturing at the Tallinn Academy of Art, and we
also have been working on an opera at the Mariinsky
Theatre in St. Petersburg.
Do you typically travel a lot for your work, or are
you mostly based here in Riga?
Actually, the only reason why we travel is for work.
Maybe it sounds sad, but if we are visiting a new
place or a new city, its almost always for work. We
have our free time mostly in the summer, and we
usually spend that at home in the countryside. Of
course, we visit the capital cities of fashion to present
our work and to meet with clients, but our design
work is mostly done at home.
Do you enjoy that aspect of your work getting to
travel to different places and meet new people? Or
is it just part of the job?
For us, its just part of the job. Sometimes we really
enjoy it, but other times I would prefer to just sit
in the studio and work. We love to sit and work in
silence. Were not the type of people who spend a lot
of time talking, or the types to really go out and sell
our ownstuff.

can be translated to Mrte and Rolands.) Did


your relationship form before you started working
together, or did it develop out of your work?
Somehow, it happened at the same time. We started
doing some projects at the Art Academy of Latvia.
Then we thought that we could combine both of our
collections, and we did that.
We are very different people. We dont work
together, smiling at each other while were sketching.
We are really different. We create things differently,

create our own moods. We often have meetings where


we discuss our pieces, because we want a clear idea
about what were doing. We dont want some kind of
foggy feeling or confusion, because clarity is important
to our work. Sometimes you can get clarity from the
sharp moments and disagreements in your discussions
of what youre working on.
In your collections, its not the situation where
theres one garment by Mrte and another garment
by Rolands. Is every piece a product of your
worktogether?
Everything comes from those conversations. Its
necessary for us both to look at things from different
positions. Sometimes its really easy. You sketch it out
and it works and all of your questions are answered
straightaway. But we try to combine our tools. Shes
more of a fragile creator, making fragile pieces with
really sensitive colours and details. Im more like an
architect who deals with forms and silhouettes. I deal
with the first impression, the first message, and then
inside there are a lot of sensitive details.

How was it for you both when you were starting


out, learning and studying in a place like Latvia?
At that time, there werent any major schools of
fashion and design here.
We studied at the Art Academy of Latvia and at the
Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, and we
started from a place where there was no fashion
industry, really. We had just come out of the Soviet

independence. Designers, musicians and artists were


trying to become similar to the West.
However, we also realised that we should be honest,
that we should make things that express who we are,
where we come from. We should use the intellectual
and other tools that we have around us to show our
identity. There was an effort to show that we had the
same quality as the West, but the next step was then
to add our own identity.
Did you feel a strong pull to do things in the same
way as Western designers at that time?
Actually, we realised early on that because we come
from a place where there was no established fashion
industry, there was no specific kind of road that we
should take. We didnt have any unique school or
signature here, or unique designers whom we could
take as examples to follow. We only knew that we had
our own brains and our own ways to use fabric. We
could show our identity through our cuts and through
a visual story two Latvians who create fashion and
who communicate in the global language of art and

design. That language is understood everywhere in
Italy, in Japan, in Brazil, in Lithuania.
You created MAREUNROLS on your own, without
many outside influences. Do you think that this
helped to set your brand apart? Today, with so much
content online and in social media, its impossible
not to have numerous influences and images
coming at you.
In one sense we were lucky, but in another sense,
there are so many good things happening at the
moment. Its much easier to spread your visual ideas
around than it was ten years ago. Theres much more
attention when you win a festival like Hyres than
there was ten, eight, even seven years ago. There are
good things and bad things.
Of course, the bad thing is the influence. People lose
their own way of thinking because the visual influence
is so strong from the media and from Instagram and
from other social sites. Its very easy to get lost and to
become influenced.

that people never expected amazing fashion to


come from Latvia in the same way that they would
expect it from places like Milan or Paris?
Well, at the time, people were right to think that
way. In those big cities, the fashion industry was
connected with a few schools, and people knew the
young generation that was coming and what kinds of
moods and surprises to expect.
When we studied in Antwerp, we saw that a
feeling of bad taste was associated with the former
Soviet countries. We wanted to show that we are
Latvians and not just something post-Soviet. We
wanted to present our own identity and our own
designs. We never want to present ourselves as
unique just because of the former Soviet bullshit.
Were unique because we see that the fashion
industry is missing some kind of idea or taste.
And actually, yes, after we won that festival,
members of the jury thought: Yeah, Latvia. There
must be something crazy going on there, we have to
go to Latvia! That was a real pleasure, and we had
some nice conversations with them.

Its easy to lose your own identity?


Yes, but its also dangerous to stray too far from these
social networks, because they are part of the language.
For many people, if youre not on social media, then
you dont exist. You have to be very clever in how you
use these tools.

Did you feel that you needed to distance yourself


from what people thought about Latvia? Or was
it a matter of proving that something interesting
and beautiful could come from your country?
It was more the second case. Globally, there is not
so much information about Latvians, about who
we are and what tastes we have, even that we have
our own language. There are a lot of things that we
as Latvians should present. At this point, its not so
important to prove that we are rich with culture,
but rather that we are existing now, that we have
a brain now, and that we have a vision of where we
aregoing.

When you won the main prizes at Hyres, you were


hailed as the first designers from the post-Soviet
republics to really find success. Was it irritating

Thats interesting, because there are so many


trends here in Latvia with folk symbols and with
a connection to Latvias ethnographic traditions.

But to be able to say that Latvians have their


own vision and ideas for the future thats
something different.
Its the biggest thing. We should always keep
that background, because globally, people
dont know about it. But at the same time, we
should focus on the message that we have our
own language for the future. We are creating
things for the future, things that can make
the future better.

I think that Latvian musicians in particular are doing


the most to present Latvia as a culture. We want to
do the same thing with design, with fashion, with our
tools. I look at it like we are presenting codes, actually.
I see fashion as a code art. You take different things
from the past and from your surroundings, and you
try to find different combinations that capture your
attention and give you something that you dont
expect. Its not just a garment or a design or a fabric,
its something more.

January INTERVIEW
MAREUNROLS NIGHTMARE 2006

January INTERVIEW

The garments that you design are said to be


ready-to-wear. Do you have particular people in
mind when you design your clothing?
Of course, we have a certain character in mind. I could
go ahead and say men from age 25 to 100 years, but
it really has more to do with a type of brain. We have
in our studio a collage of several people who inspire us,
people in art and in cinema.

Ive read that youre inspired by people like Tom


Waits and David Lynch.
Yes, David Lynch, Lithuanian photographer
JonasMekas, singer Nick Cave, actor Bill Murray. It
doesnt matter how old they are, they are still active
people. So yes, were designing for people who think
creatively, whether theyre working in art or in business
or as lawyers or whatever. They are live people.
They know what theyre thinking and theyre not just
following something. Theyre creating something.
Thats the kind of character we have in mind.
When you find these different sources of
inspiration different people or films or
programmes how do you take them all and
channel them into your work? Is it through collages
like you mentioned?
Its really hard to give some kind of definition.
We reach out and try to find a way to present our
inspirations, but then maybe the next time, that way
wont work anymore. Its always an experiment to
figure out what were going to do now. Sometimes all
we have is a vision and we sketch it out and it works,
but sometimes we have no vision and we have to
use the tools around us and try to combine them to
see if it works.

Is that where it works like a code?


Sometimes it works but then the next
time it doesnt?
Its a magical thing when it works, when
from about 20 sketches we have to select
just a few for a collection and tell a story.
Thats why we like fashion because it
changes very fast. Sometimes, we feel that
its like surfing, where you have to catch

Art is the highest level


of thinking, and we
dont want to be just
pop artists
the right moment and say the right thing
at that moment. Sometimes its impossible
to say everything that you want, but at
the same time, you find that one or two
seasons later, you can no longer use
something because it already exists in the
industry. Were trying to catch those things
that arent in fashion now but that will set
the direction of the future.
Artists can take a break for a year and
take that time to find new creativity, but in
fashion its impossible. We are not existing
because of some trend or some kind of
hype. Thats why I dont like the word
fashion, because it describes something
thats very popular now, something where
all the crowd is going. For us, its different.
We want to be where the crowd will be in
one year, two years.
You always want to be ahead.
That is our dream, to always be
somewhere ahead of others. Of course,
were not entirely unique, because most of
the designers that I love are also working
that way. Theyre not watching whats
happening in fashion at the moment
the moment has already passed. We
dont get inspiration from things that are
happening at the moment those things
are already existing. I can learn something
from this moment, but I cant get so much
inspiration from it.
The readers of this magazine are not
necessarily the same people who attend
fashion events. If someone wants to
learn more about what you do, where do
they have to go? Is fashion something

that needs to be exclusive, or would you


like more people to understand what
youdo?
You have to look at it from two directions
the first is from the perspective of creating
a garment. The garments that we design
are meant to be worn. We dont want
to design pieces that arent meant for
our time or are impossible to wear. In
that sense, they are not unique or super
expensive and dont require some sort
of special knowledge to be worn. But of
course, they are also not mass products
some kind of thinking isneeded.
The other direction is art making
some form of history and not just creating
something to put in a store. For us, this
is important because thats how you
spread your message. Art is the highest
level of thinking, and we dont want to
be just pop artists. We want to be unique
by creating something that people might
not understand right away but will follow
afterward. Its the same thing with the
musicians that you mentioned, Tom Waits
and David Lynch. Theyre the kind who
always follow their thoughts and hearts,
and then you only feel it after.
You give people what they want before
they know that they want it?
Exactly! We give them something that
maybe they dont understand yet, but
we also show them the way. I think that
intellectual things can only work if they
are close to the mainstream things, the
popular things. These combinations are
so important in fashion or art or music.
All of these things have to be close
to each other.
You cant create something
underground, without feedback. You want
people to know about your unique thing,
and you should always want to get your
thing on the correct platform to explain
it so that people understand it. All new
things should work like that you have to
relate the new things to something that
already exists, and show people how the
new thing is better.
What were really doing is creating ways
to make life better. Thats how designing
anything works always finding a way
to make something better, whether its
in daily life, or a particular situation,
anything. Were trying to do the same
thing with our fashion. BO

If you are holding this magazine in your hands, then you dont
need to be convinced that the best way to cover extensive
distances is by plane. However, once we return to the ground,
our principal mode of transportation is the automobile. Cars have
been an inexorable part of our daily lives for decades, and the
models that manufacturers release every year are reflections of
our culture. This month, Baltic Outlook provides a look at four

Although BMW Welt and the BMW
Museum are in two different locations,
they reflect a single company philosophy.
Architecture aside, what you really notice
are the cars. Each car brand owned by the
BMW Group (including MINI, BMW and
Rolls-Royce) is represented by outstanding
models, along with newer electric cars
and motorcycles by BMW Motorrad. The
museum exhibition, for example, features
more than 125 of the most valuable BMW
cars, motorcycles and engines. A true
paradise for BMW fans.
BMW began to collect units of the
products that it manufactures back in 1922,

while the museum itself opened


to the public in 1966. Along with
a trip into the past, visitors can
also see whats trending here
and now. You can take a factory
tour, visit different showrooms
and see the latest car models
up close. BMWs i Division, for
its part, focuses on electric cars
and demonstrates how homecharging works.
The enormous premises at
BMW Welt also host film and
musical evenings, model car and
book markets, and childrens
events. The Junior Campus, for
example, features workshops
and laboratories that are
designed to give kids technical
knowledge in an exciting and

CLOSEUP LOOK AT THE


WORLD OF MOBILITY

Autostadt, or Car City, is a very appropriate name

for the automotive experiences that await visitors to


this facility. Opened in 2000 in the city of Wolfsburg by
Volkswagen AG, Autostadt occupies 28 hectares and its
buildings are a veritable showcase of modern architecture.
Car history buffs should make their first stop at
the Zeithaus, or Time House, which houses a fantastic
collection of 260 cars from 60 different brands, revealing
a great deal about the development of the automotive
industry. The KonzernForum pavilion, for its part, is like a
trampoline from the past into the future. It demonstrates
the steps that are taken in manufacturing an automobile
and addresses the topic of sustainability.
Interactive expositions, a panorama cinema and
other attractions will make the day go by quickly. The
MobiVersum section is particularly suitable for families
with kids, featuring workshop areas, a driving school,
childrens movies and even cooking classes.
Volkswagen Group manufactures approximately
10million vehicles per year by various brands, including, of
course, Volkswagen, as well as Audi, Lamborghini, Porsche,
Seat and koda each of which has its own pavilion on
site. The Premium Clubhouse, for its part, showcases top
range Bugatti and Bentley cars.
Although each building at the Autostadt complex is
a masterpiece in itself, two 48-metre-high glass-walled
towers draw the most attention. Each day, about 800 new
cars are put on sale there. The purchase of automobiles
directly from the factory, so to speak, is growing in

popularity, with about 500 vehicles per day being driven out
of the client centre by proud new owners. Some of the latest
models can even be test-driven before you buythem.
Those who can afford it might consider staying at the
opulent Ritz-Carlton hotel, which is just a stones throw
away. The icing on the cake is an excursion to the adjacent
Volkswagen car manufacturing plant, where you can see brandnew automobiles being assembled before your veryeyes.
Although Wolfsburg is a bit more than 200 km from Berlin,
the trip from the German capital to Autostadt is worth taking.
The Car City greets visitors 363 days per year and is open from
9 AM to 6 PM.

A JOURNEY THROUGH
VOLVOS HISTORY

Every car brand has its own distinguishing features,

and Volvo is no exception. Aside from technological


advancements and design innovations, the Swedish
company also propounds such values as passenger safety
and concern for the environment.
In 1959, Volvo company engineer Nils Bohlin
(1920-2002) invented the three-point safety belt,
which is now a standard feature of practically all motor
vehicles. Since then, the enterprise has devoted a great
deal of resources to create the safest cars in the world.
Volvo has a team that analyses traffic accidents, a crash
test centre, and various groups of specialists involved in
the introduction of increasingly modern safety features.
The car manufacturer hopes that under its Vision 2020
programme, no one will be killed or seriously injured in a
new Volvo car by 2020.
Volvo cars have a peculiar Scandinavian feel to them,
incorporating a reserved sense of aesthetics with evernew practical devices to make driving a more pleasant
and safer experience. The history of the companys
innovations is colourfully illustrated at the Volvo
Museum in Gothenburg with products from the whole
Volvo range, including cars, trucks, buses, construction
equipment and marine engines.
Opened in 1995, the vast museum houses 8,000m2of
exhibition space and is open every day from 10 AM to
5PM. Special features include a desk shared by the
founding partners, a childrens play car, and a full-sized
version of a Volvo XC90 car constructed in Lego blocks.
The cars made by Volvo are displayed in chronologically
themed galleries, while the museum shop specialises
in models of Volvo vehicles. The museum can be visited
during three-hour boat trips around the harbour. The
tour boats also make a call at the Maritiman, a museum
that showcases a large collection of historical ships.
Volvo was founded in Gothenburg in 1927 by Assar
Gabrielsson (1891-1962) and Gustaf Larson (1887-1968).
The company produced its first car, the OV4, at its first
factory in the Hisingen area of the city. The Volvo Car
Corporation is now Chinese-owned and has been run
separately from the Volvo Group since 1999.

BEAUTY, SPEED AND ROBUSTNESS

Italy

is the home of many motor vehicle brands,


including the popular Fiat, the coveted Ferrari, the rebellious
Lamborghini, the noble Maserati, the capricious Lancia and
many lesser-known carmakers. However, Alfa Romeo is
probably the countrys most romanticised carmaker.
Like other motor vehicle manufacturers, Alfa Romeo has
gone through some difficult times and painful transformations
since its foundation in 1910, but continues to be partially
Italian-run. The company has numerous motor sports
achievements to its credit and is known for manufacturing
visually appealing passenger vehicles.
The Alfa Romeo Museum (Museo Storico Alfa Romeo) is
located in the Milanese suburb of Varese. It has been operating
since 1976, aside from a pause of several years during an
extensive reconstruction that ended in 2015. In highlighting the
car manufacturers achievements, the museum also provides
an extensive look at the history of the Italian car industry.
Approximately 70 car models are displayed in three
thematic groups: Timeline, Beauty and Speed. The Timeline
section illustrates the development of the brand from the
beginning of its operations to the present.The Beauty sector
on the ground floor showcases elegant models that turned
Alfa Romeo into a world-famous brand. In the basement,
models that illustrate the companys racing history are
displayed under the sloganSpeed.
Among the most famous cars on display are the GT Tipo C
12C, the Giulia Sprint GTA, the Alfasud, the 6C-2500 and the
155-V6-TI, providing a visual feast for diehard Alfa Romeo fans.
The museum is not a static exhibition, as more than 60% of
the cars on display are in working order, playing starring roles
at various national and international events.
The museum is open to visitors every day of the week except
Tuesday, from 10 AM to 6 PM. BO

January LIVING SPACE

here is an appealing
coincidence behind Retro
Living, French architect
Graldine Savarys makeover
of a 1920s Prague apartment. Her 1950s
and 1970s design concept applies clean
lines and simplicity, which are also
characteristics of Pragues Trade Fair
Palace. The famous Modernist structure,
now part of the Czech National Gallery,
is metres away, and the owners, both
architecture enthusiasts, enjoy views of
it from the apartment.
The young professional CzechSlovak couple commissioned Savary
to remodel their 74-square-metre flat
in the inner-city district of Holeovice.
Along with its interior, her brief included
furniture andlighting.

Savarys biggest challenge was to remove


sections of load-bearing walls, resulting in
new spaces and a greater contrast between
solid and void. She also stripped away the
plaster on the walls to reveal warm red
brickwork, retained the parquet floors and
restored the original windows. The architect
added a series of coloured plexiglass
panels, which form the corridor walls of
the bedrooms and bathroom. These diffuse
colours all through the corridor, spreading
light conversely into the rooms.
Czech retro is enjoying a revival and is the
subject of a major exhibition at the National
Museum in Prague until April 30. Savarys
Retro Living project also reflects the current
Prague trend of creatively reusing space, as
evidenced in industrial building renovations
in Holeovice.

Besides its more familiar Gothic


and Baroque glories, Prague
offers many striking examples of
modern architecture and design.
BalticOutlook tours a city apartment
that skilfully blends three design
phases of the 20th century.

In the combined living room and kitchen, the exposed brickwork and parquet floor
preserve the original spirit of the building and add warmth. Savary added the retro armchairs
on the left; the Slovak co-owner inherited the armchair on the right from her grandmother.
The bust is an original by famous Czech sculptor Olbram Zoubek.

BALTIC OUTLOOK | JANUARY 2017 | 77

CONTRASTS

January LIVING SPACE

In keeping with the retro theme, bold tones prevail


in the main bedroom, particularly bright orange, which
occurs throughout the apartment. The shelves, like those
in the kitchen, were inspired by 1970s designs. The wallmounted lamps are originals and date from the 1950s.
Purchased in a flea market in France, they match the
orange tone of the shelves.

78 | AIRBALTIC.COM

In the kitchen
area, the vivid purple,
red-orange and
yellow combination
that was typical of
the 1970s contrasts
with the pure white
walls. Inspiration for
the shelf colours and
materials came from
Tomado, a Dutch
kitchendesigner.

LIGHTING

January LIVING SPACE

The hall lighting required


a special approach because
of the narrowness of the
space. The use of plexiglass
increases the amount
of light in the corridor.
Subtler colours contrast
with the stronger tones in
the kitchen. Savary also
designed the halllamps.
Savary chose a blackand-white bathroom
colour scheme, which
contrasts powerfully
with the yellow plexiglass
panel. The sink design is
Italian.

BUSINESS CARD
Graldine Savary runs a
Prague-based architectural
practice, which she set up
in 2008. She divides her
time between Paris and
Prague, where she has been
working since 2005. Savary
has carried out several
residential projects in the
Czech capital, including loft
conversions in Holeovice.
She has also worked on
commercial buildings and
spaces for international
companies. Savary designs
fixtures and fittings,
particularly lamps, and
recently launched a line of
vintage furniture.

Its

FIRST DRIVE:

THE TOYOTA C-HR

a bit unfair, really.


The Nissan Qashqai
gets all of the
plaudits for kicking
off the small SUV craze, when Toyota
arguably did so more than a decade
earlier with its original RAV4. Of course,
the modern-day RAV4 is a much larger
and dumpier beast than before, which
is where the Toyota C-HR comes in. It
is part coup, part hatchback and part
crossover. Its a fusion of conventional
vehicle body styles, indicating just how
many crossover hatchbacks have been
launched into what we often refer to as
the Qashqai class. You now have to
design a body that is as wacky-looking
as that of the new C-HR just to get
peoplesattention.
The C-HR, or coup high-rider, has
just arrived in showrooms and aims for
a design-savvy crowd. By the standards
of the cars that its up against, the C-HR
compromises a bit of cabin and boot
space for the freedom to accommodate
its swooping roofline, sloping rear end
and deeply sculpted bodysurfaces.
If you dont like the way that the
C-HR looks, and the idea of a slightly
less practical crossover hatchback
seems pointless to you, then youre
not part of Toyotas target market. The
companys own definition of C-HR buyers
is young customers driven by emotional
considerations, as well as by style and
quality, who want their car to serve as an
extension of their personality.
Toyota offers the C-HR with either
a 122-hp 1.8-litre petrol-electric hybrid
engine or a 115-hp 1.2-litre turbo petrol
engine. The car comes with either sixspeed manual or continuously variable
transmissions and with either frontwheel drive or four-wheel drive. A month
before they arrived in our showrooms, we
tested both engine versions in the streets
and outskirts of Madrid.

Design and technology

On the one hand, its pleasing to slide


into the C-HR and find that the cars
agenda isnt only about high design. The
fascia looks and feels solidly built. Its
cleverly laid out, too, and dominated by
Toyotas seven-inch colour touchscreen

infotainment system at the head of the centre stack.


The use of high-gloss black plastic on the dashboard and
centre console is quite liberal and wont be to everyones
taste, and the seats are a little too short and flat in the
cushion to grant perfect at-the-wheel comfort. But
otherwise, thoughtful design and high-quality fit and
finish are in plentiful evidence. We particularly liked
the teardrop-shaped cupholders, which can better
accommodate a travel mug with ahandle.
There is other good news as well. Potential owners
who might be worried about the loss of rear cabin
space in comparison to their current, more practical but
more visually prosaic crossover neednt really worry
unless they plan on transporting large adults in the
back. Access to the C-HRs back seats is easy enough
(funny door handles notwithstanding) and theres
enough space for anyone less than 1.80 metres tall.
Knee and foot space are as good as in most compact
crossovers. Head room is the limiting factor, with a
somewhat claustrophobic feel exacerbated by the cars
pinchedwindowline.
The C-HR adopts Toyotas TNGA model platform,
as seen previously under the current Prius hatchback.
The C-HR also uses the same hybrid powertrain as the
Prius. This means that the C-HR gets double wishbone
independent rear suspension for optimal wheel camber
control and uncompromised ride tuning which does
indeed pay off in the driving experience.

The drive

Handling is a strong suit. The car steers with a meaty


feel and plenty of directional keenness, countering
body roll well enough to maintain good resistance to
understeer. For a fairly high-sided car, the C-HR certainly
feels wieldy.
As for the ride, this depends on which engine you
go for. The lighter 1.2-litre petrol is remarkably agile by
small SUV standards, staying upright and hanging on
gamely through tight twists and turns. Even its steering
is accurate, delivering enough feedback to give you
confidence through faster bends, while staying light
during low-speed manoeuvres.
Meanwhile, the hybrid version is slightly hampered
by its extra mass, so it never feels quite as light on its

All sorts of Prius

apackage that looks and
feels quite funky
toes. You only notice this on faster, twisting roads,
though, and it still handles well by small SUV standards.
Mechanical refinement is creditable, but eroded by
the excessive amount of time that the petrol engine
spends revving into the stratosphere. And those whod
like to tap into the cars electrical reserves around
town will find it tricky to do without rousing the
combustionengine.

Verdict

We prefer the sweetness of the 1.2-litre petrol, but


theres no denying that the hybrids drivetrain is just
as effective as in a Prius. The surprise is that all sorts
of Prius characteristics come in a package that looks
and feels quite funky, so you look less like a taxi driver
and more like somebody with an active lifestyle. That is
quiteappealing. BO

St. Petrus Restaurant

A new gastronomic destination in the Latvian capital

At the end of last year, a new and influential player


came onto Rigas restaurant scene. Its St. Petrus in the
heart of the Old Town.

Chef Maksims Cekots

St. Petrus Restaurant


Address: Skru iela 11, Riga, Latvia
Open: Mon.-Sat. 12:00-23:00
Sun. 12:00-22:00
Reservations: (+371) 25727357
info@stpetrus-restaurant.com
stpetrus-restaurant.com

Located at the foot of St. Peters Church, which


is one of Rigas most visible symbols, St. Petrus
Restaurant also bears the name of the Apostle
Peter, who is said to hold the keys to the gates
of Paradise. A symbolic key can be seen in
the restaurants logo as well, indicating that
St. Petrus is ready to open new doors to pleasant
gastronomic experiences.
Chef Maksims Cekots stresses that St. Petrus
has nothing to hide. Its large windows highlight a
tasteful interior that was designed by renowned
Latvian designer Anna Butele, while an open kitchen
on the ground floor permits guests to watch their
meals being prepared something that is out of the
question in many other eating establishments.
St. Petrus has room for about 80 patrons,
offering two different settings for visitors. The
ground floor reflects a lively gastrobar ambience,
with all of the items on the grill menu being
lovingly prepared on a Josper oven grill. One floor
higher, a more subdued atmosphere in the best fine
dining traditions reigns during the evening hours.
The second floor offers a fine view of St. Peters
Church, making it an ideal spot for unhurried
conversations with friends. A cosy niche that
seats up to eight people is also available for more
intimate and private celebrations.

The restaurants carefully prepared menu


places particular emphasis on contemporary
Latvian cuisine with Nordic flavour accents.
Having gained valuable work experience at
restaurants in the USA, France and Spain, as
well as a Michelin-starred eating establishment
in England, St. Petrus head chef Cekots
emphasises that for him, cooking is not simply
a profession it is his one and true calling.
For him and his team (including sous-chef
Dmitrijs Fedosevis, who has also worked
at a Michelin-starred restaurant in London),
the presentation of the dishes is also very
important, with each ingredient having its own
story to tell.
We want our guests to feel good, and
we want to give them new impressions and
flavours. Thats why our menu features such
unusual combinations as mussels with grey peas
(a popular Latvian food) in white wine sauce,
streaky bacon with seaweed, and grilled goat
yeanling leg with broccoli sprouts, rosemary
popcorn and smoked garlic puree. If you add an
appropriate wine from our extensive drinks list
to accompany your meal, then an outstanding
gastronomic experience is guaranteed,
emphasises Cekots. BO

then head straight to the
MUUSUrestaurant.

Head chef

MUUSU (which means ours in Latvian) is


not only a lovely place for gourmands to
enjoy a refined meal, it is also a wonderful
experience for those seeking a pleasant
atmosphere. The feeling of being welcome
is strengthened by the elegant wooden
dressers, unpretentious linen accessories,
exposed original brick walls and tasteful
shades of grey in the restaurants convivial
interior. And, as in every welcoming home,
MUUSU also has its keeper of the hearth
head chef Kaspars Jansons.
While MUUSU belongs to the same
people who founded three other popular
Riga restaurant chains Steiku Haoss, Ribs &
Rock and KID* it carries a slightly different
message than its kin. MUUSU is firmly
established on Rigas restaurant scene,
having been named the best new restaurant

in Latvia in 2014 and the third best


restaurant in the country in 2015. It can also
be found in the 2017 White Guide Nordic list
of top restaurants. MUUSU has consolidated
its identity and is one of the best lunch
and dinner spots in the Old Town. The
restaurants chefs make use of established
culinary traditions to create contemporary
classics in exciting interpretations, with
a special place reserved for the bounty of
Latvias forests, fields and waters.
Jansons is proud that MUUSU has
succeeded in defining its own place among
the wide array of eating establishments in
the Old Town. Jansons is one of the leading
chefs in the country, having participated
in (and won) many international culinary
competitions and subsequently serving
as a judge at such events. Jansons has

also interned at the three-Michelin-starred Schwarzwaldstube


restaurant in the Hotel Traube Tonbach in Baiersbronn (Germany)
and at the one-Michelin-starred LAtlantide in Nantes. His eyes
sparkle and his voice becomes more spirited when he talks about
preparing foods, experimenting in the kitchen and wishing to
please customers.
This will be our third year in operation, and we have
established a firm client base. We also know what our customers
want. They want to experience fine dining in an informal
atmosphere, and they want to feel at home. They want to eat
healthy foods, and they want to know where these foods are
from, says Jansons, who is a master at experimenting with both
local and foreign-sourced products to provide new flavours.
This month, for example, he is offering Latvian eel and Icelandic
scallop, and, although MUUSU is better known as a dinner
establishment, it also changes its lunch menu once a month.
The dishes on the daytime menu are simpler and more raw,
while the evening menu presents exciting and intricate meals
that have been put together with surprising combinations of

ingredients to create memorable gastronomic experiences,


Jansons explains.
MUUSU is also a great choice for a weekend breakfast, business
lunch or special event with dear friends. The cosy third-floor
dining room is perfect for such events and can be reserved for
private functions such as wedding celebrations. The third floor
also hosts Jansons chefs table, which has become quite popular
and which provides him with the opportunity to step out of the
kitchen, meet with his guests and tell them about the exquisite
dishes that he hasprepared.
MUUSUs restaurant manager Mrti Brzi, for his part,
wishes to highlight the new drinks menu, which features some of
the best wines of 2016.
Our guests appreciate a good wine, which they can also order
by the glass. They often start with an aperitif and then pair an
excellent wine with their main course, Brzi has observed.
Small wonder that those who have discovered MUUSU keep
coming back. And thats exactly what the founders of the
restaurant hoped for when they launched the enterprise. BO

3 Chefs

Restaurant

Culinary hooligans in a
freshly redecorated space
The well-known 3 Chefs Restaurant in Rigas
Old Town recently celebrated its fifth birthday
by giving itself a makeover.
This has been an active and
rewarding time for all of us,
and the time had come for a
well-deserved freshening-up,
laughs riks Dreibants, one of
the restaurants three resident
chefs. We retained our style
but just changed the tone a bit,
making it a bit more grown-up.
Not too much, though!
Not too much indeed, as the
chefs fresh thinking and friendly
culinary hooliganism remains
alive and well.
We opened the restaurant
when the economic crisis had
hit Europe. That might not seem
like the best time to start a new
business enterprise, but the
rent was relatively cheap, and
so were construction costs. Very
fitting for chefs with grand ideas
and shallow pockets!
All three chefs had worked
at restaurants owned by
others, serving guests of high
standing while hidden away in
invisiblekitchens.
This truly is a chefs
restaurant, Dreibants
emphasises. The kitchen is not
concealed. It is our altar and
takes up even more space than
88 | AIRBALTIC.COM

the tables for our guests!


This is not to say that customers
are not important they are!
Whats more, they get the
chance to meet their chefs and
see their meals being made. The
restaurant even offers Cooking
Together events on the bright
and spacious second floor,
where from 5 to 80 people can
come together and cook with
the celebrated chefs and have
lots of fun.
The atmosphere in the
restaurant is quite informal.
This is definitely not a white
tablecloth establishment, says
Dreibants. Guests from both
the creative professions and
from business backgrounds
embrace this vibe, because
everyone needs to let
gosometimes!
And how could you not, when
your starter or tapa is served
on your table in a creative and
artsy manner. It comes on a silky
sheet of paper and is made in
the likeness of a painting from
various sauces and pastes that
complement the fresh bread.
We love to play with
various elements, such as

liquid nitrogen for cold dishes.


We use a bit of fire in our hot
dishes, which is really fun
for the guests, Dreibants
continues. There are all kinds
of smells and sensations in the
establishment. We, the chefs,
represent the element of air, as
there is wind is our movements.
We are quick and accessible for
our guests at all times!
While it might seem that
nothing can surprise one in
the dining world anymore,
Dreibants and his colleagues
will show their hooligan side
when least expected. Although
the restaurant primarily serves
classical European cuisine,
the dishes will always have an
unexpected creative element
inthem.
For the past two years, the
young and renowned Artrs

Trinkuns has been working at


the 3 Chefs Restaurant, fulfilling
the duties of the main hooligan
on site. He will be preparing
the majority of this months
seasonal and largely organic
dishes, be it for business
lunches on workdays (between
12 noon and 4 PM) or delicious
brunches on Sundays (between
12 noon 4 PM). Come and

enthusiasts their creativity and
joy arecontagious! BO

HOW TO
TRAVEL AND
HAVE THE
BEST JOB IN
THE WORLD
Madara Fuksa has been
working as a flight attendant
at airBaltic for nearly eight
years and loves to go
mountain-climbing in her
spare time. Those who are
interested in joining her
as a colleague can check
out recruite.airbaltic.com,
as the airline is currently
hiring additional employees
to service its expanding
route network. Fuksa tells
BalticOutlook what she
enjoys most about her dream
job and her favourite pastime.
Why did you apply for a position as a flight attendant?
It wasnt a childhood dream of mine, unlike the case with
some of my colleagues. I was looking for job vacancies on
the Internet and came across the opportunity to apply for
a position at airBaltic. I initially thought that I would not
be accepted, because the profession requires certain skills.
It turns out that I already possessed these skills, but didnt
know it at the time! I was drawn by the opportunity to
travel. Im the adventuresome type and thought that the job
might be interesting. A huge number of people showed up
for the selection process, but just one week later, somebody
from the airline called to tell me that I had been selected
and could start my flight attendant training.And so the
greatest experience of my life began!
What do you enjoy most about your work?
The positive emotions that I receive from those around
me both my colleagues and the passengers. As a child,
I already liked the atmosphere at airports, bus and train
stations, because these places have a special aura about
them. The people at these places are experiencing all kinds
of emotions. Some are returning home, while others are just
starting out on a new trip, or will be flying on a plane for the
first time. Those who work at airports do their job with pride,
because were part of the process that lets people enjoy the
pleasures of flying.

returning to Riga, which means that we get the


chance to explore these places a little more every
time. Secondly, the passengers who we meet
often tell us about the places that they have
just visited. That gives us ideas for future travel
plans. I have definitely travelled much more than
I did before becoming a flight attendant.
In a way, flight attendants can be seen as
travel experts. They know certain airports inside
out. They feel confident when they set off to visit
foreign countries; theyre not afraid to take risks
and to visit more exotic destinations. Having
flown to many cities as a flight attendant, Ive

FIVE THINGS THAT


YOU SHOULD KNOW
ABOUT BEING A
FLIGHTATTENDANT:
1. Every work day is sunny,
because the sun always shines
when the clouds are below you.
2. Flight attendants dont have
parachutes. Passengers often
ask us that question.
3. Once you become a flight
attendant, you will also do
double-duty as a psychologist,
travel advisor, babysitter,
medic, and even a firefighter
if necessary. A flight attendant
needs to know how to do all
kinds of things.
4. Flight attendants must always
look great, even at four oclock
in the morning on their fifth
day in a row at work. That also
applies to our uniforms, which
are our calling card.
5. Every work day is different
and you will never experience
two identical flights, because
the crew members, the
passengers and the weather
conditions constantly change.

Madara Fuksa,
flight attendant

I dont fly as often as before, because Im also a safety and


emergency procedures instructor for my fellow flight attendants and
pilots, as well as a sales and service trainer. These two positions at
the airBaltic Training Centre take up almost 90% of my work time.
Do you remember your first trip as a full-fledged flight attendant?
My first trip was on a flight from Riga to Nice. After training for
about a month, I felt ready to put on my uniform and take to the
skies. However, on that first flight, I understood that theoretical
knowledge is one thing, but dealing with the needs of real passengers
on an airplane is another. The flight was full and there was so much
work to do that I didnt have time to sit down for even a minute. At
the same time, I really liked what I was doing. It was very hard, but
satisfying at the same time. When we took the return flight from
Nice, I was allowed to sit in the cockpit for a while. That was a very
beautiful and emotional experience. I knew then that I would really
enjoy working as a flight attendant.
You also like to climb mountains. How did you become drawn to
that activity?
As was the case with my profession, I came across mountain climbing
quite by accident. Now, I cant imagine myself working as anything else
but a flight attendant, and I cant imagine my life without mountain
climbing. Mountain climbing is a risky activity. You have to prepare for
each climb in advance and be ready to face the unexpected. Mountain
climbing is like a form of meditation for me. Im alone with myself

AND

Madara and her boyfriend, Matss,


at the Arte Des Cosmiques in
Chamonix last August

Mountain climbing
has given me the chance
to visit fantastic places
at climbing walls in Latvia about two or three
times a week, and I go mountain or rock climbing
at least two or three times a year outside of
Latvia. Im glad that my profession also lets me
enjoy nice views of the mountains from the air.
I would be happy if everyone found an activity
that gives them the same sense of satisfaction
that mountain climbing gives to me. The
feelings are indescribable. You really sense how
enormously powerful Nature is and feel grateful
for the privilege of grasping just a small part of
thispower.
What kind of travel opportunities arise for
flight attendants like yourself?
Obviously, being a flight attendant opens up lots
of opportunities for additional travel. First of all,
the very nature of our job means that we have
to fly to all kinds of destinations. Sometimes we
spend one or more nights at these cities before

understood that the world isnt really all that


big. If you have the will, then you can find the
means to set out on a fantastic voyage. You can
be in Riga one morning and then in either Paris,
Rome or New York just a few hours later.
One of my favourite travel destinations is
Chamonix in France. There are all kinds of sports
activities that you can do there in the summer,
including mountain and rock climbing, trekking,
hiking and cycling, to name just a few. The
mountain air is invigorating and charges up your
batteries. Ive been there twice and definitely
plan to return again this summer.
What would you recommend to those who are
interested in becoming flight attendants?
The only way of finding out if you are suitable
for the profession is by giving it a try! Youll gain
experience that you wont get anywhere else.
Youll meet people from all over the world. Youll
see fantastic places and youll work together
with colleagues wholl support you. Its definitely
not an easy job, but the sense of satisfaction and
the positive emotions that you receive outweigh
any hardships. I look forward to working
together with you, high up above the clouds! BO

FIVE THINGS THAT YOU


SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
MOUNTAIN CLIMBING:
1 Mountain climbing is an
endless process. After you
reach a summit, you often
catch a view of another
mountaintop, which becomes
the next summit that you want
to climb.
2. Mountain climbers have bad
memories. No matter how
difficult, scary and challenging
a climb has been, once you
return to base camp, you forget
about all of the hardships and
start thinking about your next
summit attempt.
3. Bad people dont climb
mountains, an instructor once
told me, and I completely
agree, because Ive met only
fantastic, interesting and helpful
people during my climbs.
4. You can discover peoples
true nature in the mountains.
5. A 15-kilogram backpack
might feel light enough when
youre at home, but you
really feel its weight during a
summitattempt.

Baltic Outlook introduces you to


some of the most important people at
airBaltic its flight crew members

94 | AIRBALTIC.COM

HOW IT ALL
BEGAN

I have been associated with


aviation since my childhood,
because my father flew as an
Aeroflot pilot for 30 years, and
my mother was a flight attendant
service dispatcher. At the age of
four, I watched my dad conduct
training flights at Rigas Spilve
Airport. That was an intense
experience for me.
After graduating from high
school, I entered the Riga
Technical University, because at
that time it was not possible to
obtain a pilots licence in Latvia.
One had to go to Russia, and I
wasnt ready to do that. A couple
of years after I began my university
studies, Latvia regained its
independence, and I joined a group
of 28 students who began training
to become airline pilots. Five years
later, following all kinds of hurdles
and difficulties, I officially became
a qualified pilot and aviation
engineer. That was followed by
two years of service at the Latvian
National Armed Forces air base in
Lielvrde as a helicopterpilot.
I joined airBaltic in 1998 as a
first officer on SAAB 340 planes.
Then I flew AVRO 70 aircraft. In
2004, I became a captain of Fokker
50 planes. These were followed
by Boeing 737s and now, the
Bombardier CS300.
Im proud that my oldest
son has also obtained an Airline
Transport Pilot License (ATPL)
and is ready to begin work as a
professional pilot.

HOBBIES

I enjoy cycling and


swimming in the summer,
and I play volleyball both
in the summer and in the
winter. Im also interested
in astronomy.

genres. I liked Dan Browns
Inferno and Michael Talbots
The Holographic Universe.

THINGS
THAT MIGHT
SURPRISE A
PASSENGER
WHO STEPS
INTO THE
COCKPIT

Up until now, people were


usually surprised at the large
number of buttons and dials.
Now, in a CS300, theyd be
surprised at the modern and
state-of-the art equipment.

FAVOURITE
RUNWAY

I wont be original here. Its


Riga. After all, theres no
place like home!

1. Flight attendant
SINTIJA ERNE
joined airBaltic four

to visit the cockpit,
which provides
beautiful views of the

2. Sintija enjoys taking


long walks outdoors in
the company of good
friends, regardless of
the weather, tea mug
in hand.
3. Sintija visited Dubai
for the first time last
February. She spent
most of her holiday
on the beach and
brought back beautiful
seashells as souvenirs
for her loved ones.
