Menz has always been a spontaneous traveller. “I was in Ibiza the other day, for four days, and I ended up staying three weeks. My team just laughs at me,” she says. She recommends that even the most avid planner try to relax and remain flexible when plotting Covid-era trips. “You need to mentally prepare yourself to stay somewhere longer than you plan, and not get stressed about it. There might be a momentary shutdown, or flights get cancelled.”
Eva Menz is a high-end lighting designer, who set up her namesake studio 17 years ago, focusing on residential-scale sculptural works. She started her own luxury lighting brand in 2019, Atelier 001, with pieces hand-finished by master artisans, many of them close to her British headquarters. Her newest designs include the polished metal Solstice lamps and she’ll soon introduce pendants in her glass-blown Liquid Collection this fall.
“I live in London, so my most-used airline is British Airways. I have a million miles with them, and I’m quite a miles junkie,” Menz says, though she admits the BA business class cabin is in need of redesigning. “I volunteer to do it!” When asked how many miles she logs in a typical year, she demurs, saying: “I fly enough to start planting trees somewhere.”
