There is much to discover when travelling – including interesting products in the hotel room, lobby or breakfast buffet.

In this new series, we would like to introduce you to some of these beautiful things that you can buy for yourself.

3D printed coffee grounds vases in the Klosterhof – Alpine Hideaway & Spa

In the Berchtesgadener Land region of Bavaria, home to the sustainable wellness and health hotel Klosterhof – Alpine Hideaway & Spa, there is a young company called DruckKraft.

DruckKraft is experimenting with new organic materials for 3D printers. These include wood chips and coffee grounds mixed with recycled PET. In addition to the special materials, the designs are also created in-house.

In this way, the family-run hotel supports a local business and its individual style of interior design. Natural materials are used throughout the hotel. For example, much of the furniture is made from local apple wood.

• The vases are available in different sizes on request.
