Welcome to MBGC online magazine Spring 2024 edition
As spring blossoms and the weather warms up, it’s the perfect time to dive into fresh, invigorating stories that celebrate the season. This edition of MBGC magazine will sweep you up in the excitement and joy of springtime adventures.
For Driver, we hit the road with Nico Thuret, owner of My Favourite Baker, who takes the wheel of the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 Coupè. Space sees us explore Ultra Living Homes’ breathtaking new design the La Casa Eden, which is as fun to experience as it is to admire.
In Concept, we chat to the visionary owners behind Old Quarter Coffee, who have combined social responsibility with business savvy to serve up a remarkable brew. For Plate, we indulge in the allure of Light Years and its exquisite decor and dining experience. Finally, in Dispatch, we venture to the captivating Greek island that perfectly blends natural beauty, rich history and unforgettable culinary experiences.
Enjoy these stories and more in our Spring edition of MBGC.
