He and his family moved to a farm in the countryside that they bought for 210,000 euros. Now, I live on a farm with my family and our horses, chickens, dogs, and cats — and I couldn't be happier. I live with my wife, Franziska, and our three children in the village of Mosigkau, near Dessau-Roßlau in eastern Germany. Since we started living on the farm, my life has drastically changed.

SPA-отель без Wi-Fi, раскладушки вместо смартфонов — парадокс, но в цифровую эпоху стало престижным игнорировать онлайн. Заказав голубой электрокэб, клиенты могут быть уверены, что он полностью продезинфицирован, а внутри их ждут маски и перчатки. Для сегмента luxury личное взаимодействие покупателя с брендом в мире победившего онлайна действительно становится ключевым предложением. Так, исторический бутик Cartier на Бонд-стрит в 2019 году превратился в настоящую резиденцию — второй этаж заняли апартаменты, предназначенные для встреч, паблик-токов, вечеринок и выставок.
