About
Antje Mayer-Salvi
She is founder and chief editor of C/O VIENNA MAGAZINE. She’s always out there launching something new because what she’s looking for doesn’t exist – for example, the fantastic REDAKTIONSBUERO OST. She publishes books, directs films, writes screenplays and texts, takes care of (almost) all of the business matters, and privately collects way too much vintage clothing. Her journalistic passion is dedicated to ART, ARCHITECTURE, FASHION and all those people out there doing remarkable and daring things.
David Meran
What would C/O VIENNA MAGAZINE be without its managing editor, who ensures that everything runs smoothly in the editorial room while his ideas bring the craziest topics and people to the pages of the magazine. David pays strict attention that everything looks great and not just “okay” and can wrap the touchiest counterparts around his little finger with his eminent charm. He studied at the University of Applied Arts Vienna and works as an artist and freelance photographer. His PASSION FOR EVERYTHING JAPANESE, owed to a longer stay in Tokyo, is matched with his love for beautiful fabrics.
