Introductory word 

Temu broja posvetili smo Dubaiju. Vjerujem da će mišljenja u vezi s tom temom biti podijeljena, 

kao što je slučaj u našoj redakciji, ali jedno je sigurno – ono što se trenutačno događa u tom 

gradu ne može se usporediti ni sa čim viđenim u Europi. 

Sviđao vam se Dubai ili ne sviđao, to je grad fenomen, bar što se arhitekture i graditeljstva tiče. 

Već posljednjih nekoliko godina ruši sve rekorde u gradnji, što ne čudi jer je tamo 30 posto svih 

dizalica na svijetu, gradi se 24 sata na dan, a rok za podizanje kata nebodera je rekordnih dva 

i pol dana. 

U Dubaiju je sve “naj“, najviši neboder na svijetu, jedini hotel sa sedam zvjezdica... Mnogo je 

novca uloženo i turistička ekspanzija je očekivana, ali nikako im se ne može oprostiti činjenica 

da tako bogati grad ima samo jedan muzej. 

Osim Dubaija, u novom broju vodimo vas na još nekoliko zanimljivih odredišta, kao što je novootvoreni 

restoran Katsuya Hollywood, u čije je uređenje umiješao prste Phillipe Starck. Nakon 

Katsuye, brzo na drugi kraj svijeta, u Omanski zaljev, gdje ćete uživati u panoramskom pogledu 

kroz vrtove palmi hotela The Chedi Muscat. A da se ne biste zasitili dalekih potovanja, posjetili 

smo i Motovun. Istarsko vino, tartufi te predivan pogled koji se pruža iz grada čine nezaboravno 

iskustvo. 

Vratiti se kući je uvijek najljepše, pogotovo ako je dom uređen baš po vašem guštu. Donosimo 

vam mnoštvo savjeta i ideja za stvaranje toplog i ugodnog ambijenta. 

I, naravno, tu je nezaobilazni oglasnik nekretnina.

We decided to dedicate our cover story to Dubai. I believe that there will be many divided 

opinions regarding that subject, as there were in our editorial office, but one thing is for sure – the 

things that are currently taking place in that city cannot be compared to anything that has 

been seen in Europe. Whether you like Dubai or not, that city is a phenomenon, at least when 

it comes to architecture and civil engineering. All the construction records have been beaten 

over the last several years, which is hardly surprising given the fact that 30 percent of all the 

cranes in the world reside in Dubai, while construction goes on 24 hours a day and it only takes 

a record-setting two and a half hours to build a floor on a skyscraper. 

Dubai basically has all the records – the highest skyscraper in the world, the only seven-star 

hotel… Plenty of money has been invested and tourists are expected to storm into the city, but 

there is no forgiving the fact that such a rich city only has one museum. 

Besides Dubai, our new issue takes you to several more interesting destinations, such as the newly 

opened restaurant Katsuya Hollywood, which owes a lot of its decoration credits to Phillipe 

Starck. After Katsuya, we take a quick ride across the globe and take you to the Gulf of Oman, 

where you will enjoy panoramic views through the palm gardens of The Chedi Muscat Hotel. 

And if you’re getting a little fed up with far-away journeys, we also visited Motovun. Istrian wine, 

truffles, and a glorious view that the town provides make for an unforgettable experience. 

Coming back home is always the nicest feeling, especially if that home is decorated just the 

way you like it. We bring you a lot of advices and ideas on how to create a warm and pleasant 

ambience. 

And naturally, let’s not forget our unavoidable advertisement section.

Projekt Dubai - nova meka 

za konzumersku eru 

Vizija i razlog “Novog Dubaija” u emancipiranju su gospodarstva od izmičućeg oslonca 

u nafti i stvaranju posebnih poslovnih i turističkih atrakcija na pustinjskom pijesku. 

Međutim, dvojbe su brojne: kakav sustav vrijednosti leži u (u ovolikoj mjeri) 

sistematičnom stvaranju jedne urbane sredine? Koja su estetska, čak etička promišljanja 

izazvala baš takav Dubai? 

Piše: Nikola Èelan

Priča o Dubaiju, barem onaj njezin dio 

koji se tiče investicija, ekonomije i, posljedično, 

arhitekture, počinje zapravo u 

budućnosti. Od 1966., kad je u drugom 

po veličini od tada još neujedinjenih Emirata 

(nakon Abu Dhabija) na obali Perzijskog zaljeva 

otkrivena nafta, za manje od desetljeća 

stanovništvo ove rubnopustinjske i ni po čemu 

posebno zanimljive teritorijalne jedinice povećalo 

se za 300 posto. Posljedica je to, naravno, 

bila naglog porasta globalnog ekonomskog 

interesa za to područje. 

Granice rasta i varljiva nafta 

Podijeljene su koncesije stranim tvrtkama i počela 

je sustavna eksploatacija. Ekonomski bum 

zatekao je na vlasti dinastiju Al Maktoum koja 

laskavu poziciju, u skladu s osebujnom, tradicionalno 

islamskom varijantom vladavine, drži 

još od prve polovice 19. stoljeća. Tako se recentni 

rast lokalnog i globalnog značenja Dubaija 

povećavao do trenutka kad se spoznala 

specifična granica rasta ovako strukturiranoga 

gospodarstva. Budućnost se sukobila s gradom 

u 2010. godini, za kada je predviđeno presušivanje 

naftnih izvora, taj nosivi stup procvata jednog 

sela – promatramo li Dubai u globalnim, 

čak i regionalnim gabaritima. 

Posebno je ta činjenica zanimljiva u situaciji 

kad Dubaiju prijeti neposredna opasnost od 

globalnog zatopljenja. Procjene su da će se 

grad, čija nadmorska visina uglavnom ne prelazi 

petnaestak metara, nastavi li se trend zasićenosti 

atmosfere produktima sagorijevanja 

neobnovljivih izvora energije, istoga onoga 

čemu duguje svoj napredak i blagostanje, za 

pedeset godina naći pod morem (u kojemu, 

usput, više neće biti ni ribe), zajedno sa svim 

svojim investicijama. 

Zbog svega toga pokazala se nužnom svojevrsna 

revolucija: s trgovinske djelatnosti vezane 

strogo uz naftni biznis, trebat će se preorijentirati 

u nešto drugo... Odgovor na pitanje što bi 

to trebalo biti pronašao se u kombinaciji bogatstva 

i vizije jedne konkretne osobe, glavne 

“face“ Dubaija, njezina zakonskog upravitelja, 

šeika Mohammeda Bin Rashida Al Maktouma. 

Vizija se sastoji u emancipiranju gospodarstva 

od izmičućeg oslonca u nafti i stvaranju posebnih 

poslovnih i turističkih atrakcija na pustinjskom 

pijesku. 

Burj Dubai, Hydropolis, The Palm Islands, Sports 

City, Eco-Tourism World, Ski Dubai, Emirates Towers, 

The World, Dubai Marina, Business Bay Signature 

Towers, Dubai Towers, Infinity Towers, 

Apeiron tek su najatraktivniji dio graditeljskog 

asortimana ove gospodarske revolucije. 

“Kapitalci” Dubaija

tradicijom, toranj uključuje dizajnerske

An impressive Dubai Towers’ block 

elemente proizišle iz forme lokalnog pustinjskog cvijeća. 

Svoju stabilnost u tim dramatičnim gabaritima 

duguje strukturi čija se masa smanjuje kako se toranj 

sužava prema vrhu. Tako se on utvrđuje koncentrirajući 

glavninu mase u najnižem svom segmentu. Toranj se 

gradi za različite namjene, uglavnom poslovne, trgovačke, 

zabavne te privatne, stambene. 

Burj Dubai ne treba miješati s objektom sličnog imena, 

Burj Al Arabom. U Dubaiju, jednom od trenutačno najvećih 

svjetskih gradilišta, svaka priča o gradnji počinje 

simbolom moći dizajnerske atrakcije i ugostiteljske izvrsnosti 

– hotelom koji se reklamira kao “najbolji na svijetu” 

– Burj Al Arab, Arapski toranj, ako ne najbolji, onda 

zasigurno najviši, a i vjerojatno najskuplji. Noćenje u 

tom hotelu, jedinom svjetskom sa sedam zvjezdica, za 

čiju izgradnju je nasut vlastiti otok, cijeni se i do 15.000 

dolara, a sam toranj viši je od Eiffela i samo 65 metara 

niži od Empire State Buildinga. 

Za kraj ove godine planirano je otvorenje najspektakularnijeg 

pogleda na ocean uopće. Hydropolis je luksuzni 

podvodni resort sa zidovima od pleksiglasa namijenjen 

smještaju gostiju u 220 apartmana. Ojačan konstrukcijom 

od betona i željeza, kroz svoje mjehuraste stropne 

strukture ponudit će neviđen pogled na podmorje Perzijskog 

zaljeva. 

Tri umjetno nasuta otoka čine projekt imena The Palm 

Islands. Milijarda kubičnih metara pijeska i kamena podloga 

je za izgradnju turističkih sadržaja, među ostalim 

superluksuznih toplica, smještaja najviše kategorije i 

najrazličitijih drugih atrakcija. 

Na 915.000 četvornih kilometara predviđeno je dovršenje 

Dubailanda, ambicioznog projekta koji želi objediniti 

sadržaje za slobodno vrijeme, turizam i zabavu. 

U prvoj fazi otvorenje je planirano za prosinac 2010., a 

među zanimljivijim tematskim cjelinama su Dubai Sports 

City i Eco Tourism World. Prvi podrazumijeva stadione, 

skate parkove, terene za polo, staze za autoutrke, ekstremne 

sportove, umjetne stijene i bouldere za slobodno 

penjanje, terene za golf i drugo. Eco Tourism World 

park je s umjetnim biosferama u kojemu bi uspijevale 

flora i fauna iz svih krajeva svijeta, naravno, kao promidžba 

ekologije i zdravog življenja. Zoo vrtovi, kampovi, 

botaničke bašte samo su najava glavne atrakcije – pustinjskog 

safarija.

Tema broja 

Dubai 2000. Dubai 2007. Budućnost Dubaia / The future of Dubai 

Dubai Mall zamišljen je kao potrošački raj i, za razliku 

od ostalih objekata u našoj priči, već je otvoren, 2006. 

godine, s očekivanim posjetom 35 milijuna duša. Sastavljen 

je od 15 manjih robnih kuća i opremljen dodatnim 

sadržajnim elementima, poput klizališta, akvarija, kao i 

najvećom svjetskom tržnicom zlata. 

Ski Dubai je najveći svjetski zatvoreni snježni park, sa 

stazama za skijanje, snowboarding, sanjkanje i bob. 

Emirates Towers je hotelsko-poslovni kompleks. Hotelski 

toranj raspolaže s 500 soba i pet zvjezdica i vrhunskim 

tematskim restoranima, dok se drugi, poslovni diči najmodernijim 

rješenjima integrirane tehnologije i dizajna. 

Inače, dva su tornja povezana peterokatnim objektom 

s maloprodajnim prodavaonicama i restoranima. 

Vrlo atraktivna i slikovita intervencija u pomorsko dobro 

pred Dubaijem jest projekt The World. Na više od 250 

umjetno nasutih otoka površine od 23 do 84 km 2 , poput 

glomazne ploče za Riziko, stvorena je reprodukcija 

“lica svijeta”, onakvog kakvog ga se vidi u globalu, iz 

“ptičje” perspektive. Po pojedinačnoj cijeni od 6,85 milijuna 

dolara naviše, u njemu i na njemu mogu uživati 

privatne osobe, kao i investitori iz različitih područja gospodarske 

djelatnosti. 

“Deset veličanstvenih” Dubaija promotori zaokružuju 

Dubai Marinom, koju nazivaju “gradom unutar grada”. 

Osim same marine, koja bi trebala dati osnovni 

ton života u toj cjelini, tvorci su se pobrinuli i za ostale 

elemente u osmišljavanju života na visokoj nozi u smislu 

samog stanovanja, potrošnje, druženja i opuštanja. 

Dubai budućnosti - pitanja i odgovori 

Struka na ovo događanje s posljedicama na globalnoj 

razini, naravno, ne reagira, niti može reagirati ravnodušnošću. 

Proturječni dojmovi vezani su uz slojevit doživljaj 

pojedinih aspekata “Projekta Dubai”, tako su sasvim 

različita očitovanja domaćih arhitekata naspram 

presjeka najvažnijih spomenutih dosega tog projekta. 

“Opreznu sumnju”, bez suvišnih komentara i emocija, 

izrazio je, primjerice, predsjednik Udruženja hrvatskih arhitekata 

Goran Rako. 

Nešto određenija je arhitektica Helena Paver-Njirić koja 

“Novi Dubai” vidi kao “strateški uspješno planiran prostor 

visokog profita za strastvene potrošače”. Prostorno-planerski, 

u smislu organizacije prostora, najveće 

svjetsko gradilište, prema njezinim riječima, funkcionira 

besprijekorno. Međutim, eksplicira i problem: “Urbanistički, 

tematski parkovi podređeni su i opet konzumerizmu 

– je li zaista sve moguće kupiti?” Graditeljsko-tehnološki 

Dubai je za gđu Njirić najzanimljivije odredište, 

ekonomski – još jedan dokaz moći arapskog svijeta. 

Sociološki aspekt projekta Helena Paver-Njirić naziva 

“zastrašujućim”. Najzanimljivije slijedi: “Arhitektonski i urbanistički-oblikovno, 

Dubai je katastrofa – celebracija 

jeftinog kiča, prostor za one koji vole sve na jednome 

mjestu.”

Dakle, nakon završetka ove avanture novom arapskom 

(konzumerskom) mekom, kao sažetak čitave priče dočekuje 

nas – upitnik. Mnoštvo upitnika, preciznije... Dvojbe 

su brojne: kakav sustav vrijednosti leži u (u ovolikoj 

mjeri) sistematičnom stvaranju jedne urbane sredine? 

Koja su estetska, čak etička promišljanja izazvala baš takav 

Dubai, bez obzira na potpuno transparentan i opravdan 

njegov razlog, emanaciju nečega, ako već ne 

jedinstvenog i neviđenog, onda barem bliskoga geniju 

– vizije začetnika svega, osobe šeika Al Maktouma. 

No, kao i uvijek, vrijeme je u svemu najbolja mjera. I ono 

drži privilegij konačne prosudbe, to se u mnoštvu slučajeva 

pokazalo istinskim. I kao što je svojedobno Pariz 

18 

oblikovan organskom vizijom osobe Napoleona (a znamo 

koliko je dobre patine takva vizija grada dobila s 

protokom vremena), tko zna. Možda će zdrava sumnja 

i kriticizam suvremenika s vremenom biti nadvladana 

čistim nadahnućem jednog “nadinvestitora”, osobe lišene 

stručnog balasta i vođene čistim nadahnućem, u 

točno određenom povijesnom trenutku i razlogu. 

Za tu će prosudbu jedan mali detalj biti preduvjet. Naglašeno 

već pri početku ove priče, vrijeme će prije svega 

trebati dati odgovor na pomalo tragikomično, banalno 

pitanje: hoće li Dubai preživjeti efekte globalnog zatopljenja, 

ili će, poput njegova Hydropolisa, u ne tako dalekoj 

budućnosti i sam postati po(d)morsko dobro?

Cover story 

Project Dubai - 

The New Mecca for the 

Consumption Era 

Dubai Marina – “grad unutar grada” / Dubai Marina - “a city within a city” 

The vision and reason for “New Dubai” lie in the economy’s emancipation from the 

disappearing reliance called oil, as well as in the opportunity to create special business 

and tourism attractions in the desert sand. However, there are numerous doubts: what 

kind of a system of values can be found in (this amount of) systematic creation of an 

urban environment? Which aesthetical, and which ethical conclusions provoked Dubai 

to become what it is today? 

Written by: Nikola Èelan

Infinity Tower – jos jedan “biser” arhitekture Dubaija / 

Infinity Tower – another “pearl” in the Dubai architecture 

The story of Dubai, at least the part that concerns 

investments, economy and, as its consequence, 

architecture, actually starts somewhere in the future. 

Since oil was discovered in this second biggest 

of the then-non-united Emirates (after Abu Dhabi) 

on the coast of the Persian Gulf in 1966, it took less than 

a decade for the population of this not particularly interesting 

territorial unit on the desert’s edge to increase 

for about 300 percent. Naturally, that was caused by 

the sudden rise of the global economic interest for this 

area. 

Growth Boundaries and the Trickiness of Oil 

Concessions were handed over to foreign companies, 

and that signalled the beginning of systematic exploita-

Burj Al Arab – the highest and the most expensive 

hotel in the world 

tion. The economic boom happened while dynasty Al 

Maktoum was in power, as they have held that flattering 

position since the early 19th century, in line with the 

specific traditional tradition of Islamic government. The 

recent growth of Dubai’s local and global significance 

kept growing until the specific boundaries of this type of 

an economy structure started appearing. Future came 

into conflict with the city in 2010, as that is the year that 

experts predict will signal the drying of the oil sources, 

which have represented the pillar of the blossoming 

for this village – which is what Dubai was in global, and 

even in regional terms. 

What makes the whole situation particularly interesting 

is the fact that Dubai is facing immediate danger from 

global warming. It is estimated that the city, with alti- 

21

Cover story 

tude that mostly doesn’t get higher than fifteen metres, 

will find itself under water (that will also feature no fish, 

by the way) in about fifty years along with all its investments, 

assuming the continuation of the trend of the atmosphere’s 

saturation with products of non-renewable 

energy sources’ burning – the same products that have 

enabled Dubai to reach such progress and bliss. 

All those aspects require a revolution of sorts: from the 

trade business strictly connected with oil, now is the time 

to turn the focus to something else… The answer to the 

“what?” question should be found in the combination of 

wealth and vision from one person, Dubai’s “main man” 

and legal manager, sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al 

Maktoum. That vision presents the emancipation of the 

economy from the disappearing reliance called oil, as 

well as creating special business and tourism attractions 

in the desert sand. 

Burj Dubai, Hydropolis, The Palm Islands, Sports City, Eco- 

Tourism World, Ski Dubai, Emirates Towers, The World, Dubai 

Marina, Business Bay Signature Towers, Dubai Towers, 

Infinity Towers, Apeiron – these are some of the most 

Umjetno nasuti The Palm Islands / 

Artificially created The Palm Islands 

attractive features of the construction assortment in this 

economic revolution. 

“The Big Ones” in Dubai 

After its opening in 2009, Burj Dubai will become the largest 

building in the world. Inspired by Islamic tradition, the 

tower includes designer elements that originate from 

the form of local desert flowers. The stability in these dramatic 

dimensions is provided by the structure that sees 

the mass reducing as the tower gets nearer to the top. 

In that way, the majority of the mass lies in the building’s 

lowest segments. The tower is being built for different 

purposes, most of them being connected to business, 

trade, entertainment, as well as private residences. 

Burj Dubai shouldn’t be confused to the object of a similar 

name, Burj Al Arab. Dubai is currently one of the biggest 

construction sites in the world, but every construction 

story begins and ends with the symbol of power of 

designer attraction and restaurant excellence – a hotel 

that is advertised as “the best in the world” – Burj Al Arab, 

the Arabic Tower; and if it’s not the best, it is certainly the

The World – reprodukcija “lica svijeta” / The World - 

a reproduction of “the face of the world” 

highest, and probably the most expensive. Spending the 

night in this hotel, the world’s only seven-starred one, for 

which an actual island was artificially created, costs up 

to 15.000 dollars, while the tower itself is higher than Eiffel 

and only 65 metres lower than Empire State Building. 

The end of this year will witness the opening of the most 

spectacular view of the ocean you can imagine. Hydropolis 

is a luxurious underwater resort with Plexiglas 

walls that will be able to accommodate its guests in 220 

suites. Strengthened by a steel-and-concrete construction, 

it will offer a yet-too-be-seen view over the bottom 

of the Persian Gulf through its bubble-like ceiling structures. 

Three artificially created islands create a project called 

The Palm Islands. One billion cubic metres of sand and a 

stone surface will be used for tourism purposes, which will 

feature a super-luxurious spa, the accommodation of the 

highest category and many other various attractions. 

Dubailand is planned to be completed over the surface 

of 915.000 square kilometres, and it reveals an ambitious 

project that aims to unite facilities for spare time, tour- 

ism and entertainment. The first phase of the opening 

is planned for December 2010, and some of the most 

interesting thematic units include Dubai Sports City and 

Eco Tourism World. The first one includes stadiums, skate 

parks, polo tracks, auto-racing tracks, extreme sports, 

boulders and artificial rocks for free climbing, golf courses 

etc. Eco Tourism World is a park with artificial biospheres 

that would enable successful breeding of flora 

and fauna from all parts of the world, under the flag of 

promoting ecology and healthy lifestyles. Zoo gardens, 

camps, botanical surfaces are just the appetizer for the 

main attraction – a desert safari. Dubai Mall was designed 

as a consumers’ heaven and, unlike any other 

objects in our story, has already been opened in 2006 

with the expected visit of 35 million souls. It consists of 15 

smaller department stores and features some extra-facilities, 

such as a skating rink, aquarium, and the world’s 

largest gold market. 

Ski Dubai is the world’s largest indoor snow park, and 

it reveals tracks for skiing, snowboarding, sledging and 

bobsleighing.

Dubai Sports City 

Emirates Towers is a hotel-business complex. The hotel 

tower has 500 five-star rooms at its disposal, as well as 

supreme thematic restaurants, while the business tower 

prides itself with some of the most modern solutions of 

integrated technology and design. It must be said that 

the two towers are connected through a five-storey object 

with retail shops and restaurants. 

A project called The World presents a very attractive 

and picturesque intervention into the sea surface in 

front of Dubai. It features over 250 artificially created islands, 

the surfaces of which range between 23 and 84 

km2, and the whole thing resembles a gigantic “Risk” 

board as it reveals a reproduction of “the face of the 

world” as it’s seen in global, from the bird perspective. 

At an individual price that starts at 6,85 millions of dollars, 

it can be enjoyed by private people and investors from 

different areas of economy. 

Dubai’s “Magnificent Ten” are concluded by promoters 

with the Dubai Marina, which is referred to as “a city within 

a city”. Besides the marina itself, which should provide 

the basic tone of life in that unit, the creators made sure 

of other elements of designing luxurious life in the fields of 

residence, consumption, socializing and relaxing. 

Dubai of the Future – Questions and Answers 

These events will provide some consequences on a glo-

have a lot to do with the complex experience of some 

of the aspects of “Project Dubai”, so local architects provide 

completely opposite views on some of the most important 

parts of the project. “Cautious doubt”, without 

any additional comments or emotions, is what Goran 

Rako, the President of the Association of Croatian Architects, 

had to say. 

Architect Helena Paver-Njirić was a bit more specific, 

and she sees “New Dubai” as “strategically successful 

planning of a highly profitable area for passionate consumers”. 

In terms of the space planning, she feels that 

the largest construction site in the world functions beautifully. 

However, she does detect a problem: “Urban, 

thematic parks are also submitted to consumerism – is 

it possible to buy absolutely everything?” Mrs. Njirić finds 

the construction and technological elements of Dubai 

to be a destination of utmost interest, and economically 

speaking, she feels that it presents one more proof of the 

Arabic world’s power. 

Helena Paver-Njirić describes the sociological aspect of 

the project as “frightening”. The most interesting part is: 

“Architectonically and urbanism-wise, Dubai is a disaster 

– a celebration of cheap kitsch, a place for those 

who like to have everything in one location.”

Najveće gradilište na svijetu / 

The world’s biggest building site 

So after we complete this adventure in the new Arabic 

(consumerism) Mecca, we are still left with a question 

mark. Plenty of question marks, actually… There are 

numerous doubts: what kind of a system of values lies 

in (this amount of) systematic creation of an urban environment? 

Which aesthetical, and which ethical conclusions 

provoked Dubai to become what it is today, 

regardless of the completely transparent and justified 

reason, the emanation of something that may not be 

unique and unseen, but is certainly close to genius – the 

vision of the project’s founder, sheikh Al Maktoum. But 

just like in everything else, time will provide all the answers. 

It has the privilege of making a final ruling, which 

has been demonstrated as true on many occasions. 

Just like Paris was once shaped by Napoleon’s organic 

vision (and we know how greatly that city’s vision has 

aged), who knows? Maybe today’s healthy doubt 

and criticism of the contemporaries will eventually be 

prevailed by pure inspiration from “the great investor”, 

who wasn’t carrying any burdens of the profession and 

was simply led by pure inspiration, in a precisely determined 

historical moment and reason. That ruling will 

largely depend on one small detail. As was said at the 

beginning of this story, time must first give an answer to 

a slightly embarrassing, banal question: will Dubai survive 

the effects of global warming, or will it, much like its 

Hydropolis, become an underwater unit in the not-sodistant 

future?

A Household on Radio Record 

We present a new patent from the field of industrial design called 

hiREC, for which its author received a silver plaque at the Samsung 

Young Design Award contest. Andrea Vecera, student of 

the Technical Faculty in Turin and a graphic designer with broad 

horizons, has created an unusually useful product that scans information 

from food, medical, and other household products by 

using the RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology. Expiration 

dates, ingredients, packaging information, materials and 

many other useful data that are present on the “virtual identification 

card” of the product become visible on the “wideness” of 

the hiREC screen. One problem is yet to be resolved, and that is 

the systematic introduction of labels with information from the 

manufacturers.

February 2008 marks the 

beginning of construction 

works on the Tameer Towers 

in Abu Dhabi for the 

company of the same name, 

which is the leading subject 

in real-estate business at 

the Middle East. The skyscraper 

will have 73 floors of 

commercial purpose, four 

accommodation skyscrapers, a luxurious seven-star hotel, as 

well as many extra-features and functions, like a private marina 

among other things. The skyscraper is shaped like a diamond 

and it is divided into two sections somewhere around 

the twentieth floor, in order to open up space at its bottom 

for a canal and a pedestrian zone that connect the local Central 

Park to the sea. The construction works are planned to be 

finished by 2011. 

A Cocoon as a Present for London 

The Natural History Museum in London is one of the city’s more 

valuable buildings. Danish architects from company C.F. Moller Architects 

are in the process of constructing its annexe called Darwin 

Centre Phase Two, which is shaped like a giant cocoon in a glass 

outfit. That annexe will provide a new home for 28 million of bugs 

and three million plants and also a laboratory for 250 scientists 

from all over the world. The construction process is planned to 

wrap up in 2009.

nečega što se naziva 

“emocionalnom arhitekturom”. 

S ciljem stvaranja

ova je građevina zamišljena 

kao prolazak posjetitelja

Posebno je uočljiv 

izostanak namještaja,

Architecture in the Function of 

Catharsis 

The recently built Mourning House in Mexico City is a lovely 

example of something that we call “emotional architecture”. 

With the goal of creating a spiritual state for a specific purpose, 

the building was designed as the visitors’ passage through the 

experience of the entrance tunnel’s darkness, followed by the 

exit to a high-ceiling room with special, natural light breaking 

through from the backyard. The absence of any sort of furniture 

is particularly noticeable, besides a bench that is positioned 

next to the room’s wall. The only present decoration is an abstract 

sculpture in the centre of the hall, and it was created by 

artist Saul Kaminer.

Zaha Hadid kao snježna kraljica 

Alpska “ledena željeznica” u austrijskom Innsbrucku povezuje 

središte grada s planinskim resortom. Prvoga prosinca prošle 

godine otvorene su četiri nove postaje, za čiju je izvedbu na 

natječaju 2005. zadužena poznata arhitektica Zaha Hadid. Za 

svoju ideju autorica kaže kako je pokušala pratiti specifičnosti 

pojedinih lokacija postaja i visina na kojima se one nalaze, ali istodobno 

i zadržati koherentnu fluidnu arhitektonsku poveznicu. 

To je, uostalom, i jezik kojim se ta plodna i velika autorica služi već 

dulje vrijeme. 

Zaha Hadid as the Snow Queen 

The Alpine “ice railway” in Innsbruck, Austria, connects the city 

centre with the mountain resort. December 1st of last year saw 

the opening of four new stations, and their creation was trusted 

to famous architect Zaha Hadid in a 2005 contest. The author 

explains her idea by having to keep up with the specific characteristics 

of individual station locations, as well as the heights 

they reside on, but she also emphasizes that she tried to keep a 

coherent, fluid architectonic bond. Then again, that pretty much 

defines the language that this productive and grand author has 

been using for quite some time. 

A Floating Diamond

location with a wonderful view over 

Copenhagen from the sea, we must point 

out Queen’s Hall, which has 600 seats and is 

aimed at concerts and other stage events, as 

well as at being a conference hall. The external 

effect that was attempted by designers 

is the free floating of a black diamond, which 

is especially emphasized by the impression 

and the closeness of the sea surface.

Umjetnièka 

igra cvijeæem 

Miljenik svjetske i društvene elite, akademski 

slikar, dizajner i vlasnik cvjećarnice, 

Saša Šekoranja u intervjuu za 

DalCasu iznosi svoje stavove o dizajnu i 

komercijalizaciji, žaleći za nedostatkom 

konkurencije u cvjećarstvu 

Piše: Ivana Bioèina 

Foto: Kristina Faziniæ, Saša Šekoranja 

Po struci ste akademski slikar, a na kraju ste kao 

medij izražavanja izabrali cvijeće, preko kojeg 

se koristite autorskim pristupom gdje potpunom 

negacijom dekorativnosti cvijeta stvarate 

umjetničko djelo. Kako to da ste odabrali cvijeće? 

Koristim cvijeće na dva načina: dekorativno, pri čemu 

kopiram prirodu i na neki način pokušavam dosljedno 

prenositi ono što od prirode naučim, a drugi način je ta 

negacija dekorativnosti. Cvijeće sam, kao i sve ostalo, 

odabrao slučajno. Jedino što me veže uz djetinjstvo 

jesu vrt, kopanje i zemlja. Najljepše mi je bilo kod bake 

na selu. Uvijek sam želio biti seljak i imati kontakt sa selom 

i zemljom. Nakon završene optičke škole upisao 

sam slikarstvo i slučajno sam radnju koju su imali moji 

roditelji pretvorio u galeriju. Galerija je prerasla u cvjećarnicu. 

Kao što sam i rekao, selo i biljke su me oduvijek 

fascinirali. Sjećam se kad sam uzeo sjeme od nevena i 

posipao ga po zemlji. Raslo je ko ludo, raslo i cvalo, i što 

sam ga više brao, on je više cvao. Inspiracija mi je bilo 

veselje ljudi kojima sam darivao cvijeće. 

Vaš izlog u Ilici u Zagrebu nema uobičajenu formu izloga 

cvjećarnice, nego je više kao prozor u umjetničku 

galeriju. Koja je granica između cvjećarstva i umjetnosti, 

i postoji li ona uopće kod vas? 

Teško mi je govoriti o umjetnosti, pogotovo danas kada 

živimo u potrošačkom društvu, gdje sve više komuniciramo, 

svi se znamo i družimo, a zapravo se uopće ne 

poznajemo. I to je osnovni problem. Taj izlog je meni 

velika stvar jer ima funkciju izravne i neposredne komunikacije. 

Izlogom mogu reagirati na svaku stvar koja 

mi se sviđa, ili ne sviđa. Ne trebam čekati na termin u 

galeriji, izlogom mogu trenutačno reagirati i zato mi je 

on vrlo bitan. Mogu ga ostaviti praznog, mogu ga napuniti, 

to je neposredno i brzo reagiranje. 

“Sve što radim vezano je uz likovnost i sve što gledam, 

gledam kroz likovnost” 

Planirate li otvoriti cvjećarnicu još negdje osim ove u 

Zagrebu? 

Meni su već nudili prostore u Zagrebu, izvan Zagreba, 

u Londonu, New Yorku, zaista svuda, ali onda bih se 

našao na aerodromu i shvatio da to nije moj život. Ne 

želim provoditi život između tri cvjećarnice. Meni je ovo 

sasvim dovoljno. Ne želim postati poslovođa. 

Vole vas predsjednici, pripadnici svjetske i društvene 

elite, strani diplomati. Radili ste na interijerima Predsjedničkih 

dvora, Mesićeve inauguracije, Opernog bala 

i mnogih drugih društvenih događanja. Koja je tajna 

vašeg uspjeha i postoji li uopće kompetentna konkurencija 

u vašem poslu? 

Meni je bitno da radim, a sve ostalo se dogodilo spontano 

i slučajno. Drago mi je da su ljudi prepoznali kvalitetu. 

Što se tiče konkurencije, ona zaista ne postoji. 

Volio bih da se stvori neka osoba s kojom mogu ravnopravno 

razgovarati i s kojom se mogu utrkivati jer, na 

kraju, zdrava konkurencija daje poticaja. No ono što 

je meni najvažnije, i što mislim da sam dobro napravio, 

jest to da je u Hrvatskoj cvjećarstvo podignuto na 

višu razinu. Ljudi su maknuli plastične ukrase, celofane,

počeli su stavljati obično zelenilo u aranžmane, shvatili 

su da se i običnim zelenilom može okititi stol. Počeli su 

razmišljati o estetici na drukčiji način. Kada sam počeo 

naručivati bijelo cvijeće, govorili su mi da to ne valja, 

da je to cvijeće bez boje. 

U kojoj mjeri vam je pomogla vaša naobrazba akademskog 

slikara? 

Sve što radim vezano je uz likovnost i sve što gledam, 

gledam kroz likovnost. To drugi s akademskom naobrazbom 

nemaju, a bitno je jer se u poslu s cvijećem ne 

30 

izlog 2008. / Installation,

može zaobići odnos proporcija, boja, veličina, slaganja 

stvari. Sve je to vezano uz estetiku, i naravno da 

likovnost pomaže, akademija pogotovo. 

Koliko važnu ulogu ima cvijeće u dizajnu interijera i kako 

vi pristupate tom zadatku? Postoje li neka pravila? 

Stvarno nemam nikakvih pravila. Sve ovisi o interijeru 

koji mi je zadan, a volim moderan interijer, čiste, bijele 

prostore. Uostalom, svaki prostor je drukčiji, kao i ljudi. 

Ima prostora koji uopće ne podnose cvijeće, prostora 

koji trebaju samo jedan list, a ima i onih koji trebaju

puno cvijeća. Što su prostori veći i čišći, to im treba manje 

cvijeća. 

Postoje li, kao i u dizajnu, trendovi u cvjećarstvu? 

Postoje, ali ne volim te trendove. To je produkt komercijalizacije. 

Možda zvuči kontradiktorno, ali ja sam protiv 

dizajna, protiv komercijalizacije koja nam nameće 

trendove. Ili nešto voliš ili ne, jedini trend za mene je 

sezona cvijeća. Apsurdno mi je tražiti usred zime, na 

“Možda zvuči kontradiktorno, ali ja sam protiv dizajna, 

protiv komercijalizacije koja nam nameće 

trendove. Ili nešto voliš ili ne, jedini trend za mene

primjer, suncokret koji je ljetni cvijet. Za mene je najbolja 

jednostavnost. I kroz svoje izloge pokušavam biti angažiran, 

komentirati društvo, gdje smo se izgubili. Svaki 

dan sam sve više ogorčen na društvo i ljude. Volim da 

je umjetnost intimizirana, a ne senzacionalistička. Umjetnost 

treba govoriti o nečemu lijepom, a po meni se 

današnja umjetnost previše bavi komentarom društva. 

Treba biti angažiran, ali ovo je previše. Andy Warhol je 

bio angažiran i bio je izvrstan. Danas su ljudi opterećeni 

novcem i izgubljeni. 

Vodili ste i uređivali emisiju “Život s cvijećem“ u kojoj 

ste pokušali široj javnosti pokazati kako s malo novca 

Ivana Roščić kao Ofelija, izlog za Dan mrtvih / Ivana 

Roščić as Ophelia, window shop for All Hallows 

i puno mašte mogu sami napraviti razne aranžmane. 

Kakve su bile reakcije na emisiju i zašto ste je prestali 

raditi? 

Bilo je raznih emisija, od toga kako složiti jedan cvijet u 

vazu, do glamuroznih stvari. Komentari su bili vrlo dobri, 

ali je bilo i kritika po novinama, s kojima se baš ne nosim 

dobro. Naravno da volim primiti kritiku koja je argumentirana, 

ali ako nije, to mi je besmisleno. No ljudi su emisiju 

obožavali i zaustavljali me na ulici, od kumica s placa do 

intelektualaca. Emisiju sam prestao raditi jer mi se jednostavno 

više nije dalo, uzimalo mi je previše vremena. 

Uz cvijeće, bavite se i dizajnom, scenografijom, radite 

kao art direktor i fotograf rubrike Lifestyle u jednom nacionalnom 

tjedniku. Pravi ste primjer interdisciplinarnosti 

koja danas vlada. Imate li još kakvih interesa? 

Ponekad izgubim kriterije i radim svašta, ali radim ono 

što mi se sviđa. Kako bi se reklo, idem gdje me voda 

nosi. Nemam ambicija za neke velike stvari, cijelo se vrijeme 

igram. Dogodi se i da odbijem neke velike stvari 

jer mi se ne da raditi nešto što je štancano. Volim raditi 

scenografije jer su one vrlo kreativne u smislu iščitavanja 

teksta. U životu nisam puno čitao, a i ne volim nešto pretjerano 

čitati, no kad radim scenografiju, zaista moram 

koncentrirano pročitati tekst. Tek onda vidim koliko je 

tekst bogat. Treba raditi sa srcem i biti iskren, a to danas 

nije lako. 

Kakvi su vam planovi za budućnost? 

Kako me voda bude nosila. Zaista ne znam.

ŠEKORANJA 

An Artistic 

Game with 

Flowers 

A favourite of the world’s and social elite, 

academic painter, designer and owner of a 

flower shop Saša Šekoranja uses this interview 

for DalCasa to explain his opinions on 

design and commercialisation, while regretting 

the lack of competition in floriculture 

Interviewed by: Ivana Bioèina 

Photo: Kristina Faziniæ, Saša Šekoranja 

You are an academic painter by education, but 

you still chose flowers as your medium of expression, 

as you use the author’s approach to 

create a work of art by complete negation of 

the flower’s decorative elements. How do you explain 

choosing flowers? 

I use flowers in two ways: decorative, which is when I 

copy nature and somehow attempt to faithfully recreate 

what nature has taught me, while the other way is 

that negation of decorative elements. As is the case 

with everything else, I chose flowers by accident. My 

fondest childhood memories include a garden, digging 

and the soil. I always enjoyed myself the most 

when I stayed with my grandmother in the village. I always 

wanted to come from the village and have contact 

to it and the soil. After I finished optical school, 

I started studying painting and I accidentally turned 

my parents’ workshop into a gallery. That gallery later 

transformed into a flower shop. As I said, I have always 

been fascinated with plants and the village. I remember 

when I took marigold seeds and started scattering 

it over the soil. It was growing like crazy, growing and 

blossoming, and the more I picked it, the more it blossomed. 

I was inspired by how happy people looked 

when I would give them flowers. 

Your Ilica window shop in Zagreb doesn’t have the usual 

form of a flower-shop window, much more resembling 

a window into an art gallery. Where do you set 

the line between floriculture and art, and does that line 

even exist in your case? 

Talking about art isn’t easy for me, especially these 

days when we all live in a consumption society where 

we communicate to each other very often, we all know 

each other and spend time together, but we don’t 

truly know each other. And that is the basic problem. 

That window shop is huge for me because it carries 

a function of direct and immediate communication. 

That window shop enables me to react to anything I 

like or dislike. I don’t have to wait for my appointment 

in the gallery, but I can react in that instant moment, 

and that’s why it is very important to me. I can leave it 

“Everything I do is connected to art and everything 

I watch, I watch through art” 

empty, I can fill it up, and that is what you call an immediate 

and fast reaction. 

Are you planning on opening a flower shop somewhere 

else besides Zagreb? 

I have been offered some spaces in Zagreb, as well 

as outside Zagreb, like in London, New York and just 

about anywhere else, but then I would find myself 

spending time in airports and I realized that is not for my 

life. I don’t want to spend my life between three flower 

shops. This is plenty enough for me. I’m not looking to 

become a business manager. 

You are loved by presidents, members of the world’s 

and social elite, foreign diplomats. You worked on the 

interiors of the Presidential Palace, Mesić’s inaugura-

tion, Opera Ball and many other social events. What is 

the secret of your success and do you have any competent 

competition in your field of work? 

All I care about is the fact that I’m working, and everything 

else was spontaneous and by accident. I’m just 

happy that people recognized quality. As far as competition 

goes, it truly does not exist. I would love to see 

an appearance of a person that I could talk to as an 

equal and that I can compete with because, let’s face 

it, healthy competition is very motivating. But what I 

really care about, and what I think I did quite well, is 

raise the level of floriculture in Croatia to a higher level. 

People removed plastic decorations and cellophanes, 

and started putting regular greenery into their arrangements, 

as they understood that it is more than enough 

to decorate a table. They started viewing aesthetics in 

a different light. When I started ordering white flowers, 

people told me that it was wrong, that it was just flowers 

without colour. 

How much help was your education of an academic 

painter? 

Everything I do is connected to art and everything I 

watch, I watch through art. Other people with academic 

education don’t have that, and it is important 

because working with flowers implies dealing with relations 

between colours, proportions, sizes, arranging 

things. All those aspects are connected to aesthetics, 

so it’s only natural that my art education helps, especially 

since it’s academic. 

How big of a role do flowers have in the process of interior 

design, and how do you approach that assignment? 

Are there any rules? 

I truly don’t have any rules. It all depends on the interior 

I’m faced with, and I like an interior that is modern 

and has clean and white spaces. After all, every space 

is different, much like people. There are spaces that 

don’t have any tolerance for flowers; some of them 

need only one leaf, while other spaces need plenty of 

flowers. The bigger and cleaner the spaces get, the less 

flowers they need. 

Do trends exist in floriculture in the same way they exist 

in design? 

They do, but I don’t care for those trends. They are 

merely a product of commercialisation. It may sound 

contradictory, but I am against design, against commercialisation 

that imposes trends upon us. You either 

like something or you don’t, and the only trend that I 

acknowledge is the floral season. I find it absurd that I 

sometimes have to look for a sunflower in the middle of 

winter, as it is a flower of the summer. Simplicity is the 

best way for me. I like to use my shop windows to voice

my opinion, provide a comment of society, because 

I feel that we are lost. As each day goes by, I am becoming 

more and more bitter towards society and 

people. I like to keep my art intimate, instead of sensationalist. 

Art should speak about something beautiful, 

while today’s art tries too hard to provide a commentary 

on society. Voicing your opinion is good, but 

“It may sound contradictory, but I am against design, 

against commercialisation that imposes various 

trends upon us. You either like something or you 

don’t, and the only trend for me is the floral season” 

this is too much. Andy Warhol voiced his opinion and 

he was excellent. The people today are too preoccupied 

with money, which makes them lost. 

You used to host and produce a TV show called “Life 

with Flowers”, in which you tried to show the public 

how to create various arrangements by themselves 

with little money and a lot of imagination. What 

were the reactions to that show and why was it cancelled? 

There were various topics in the show, from how to 

put only one flower into a vase to more glamorous 

things. Reactions were really good, but there were 

also plenty of criticism in the papers, and I don’t really 

know how to deal with that properly. Of course, I 

like to hear some constructive criticism, but the other 

type of criticism just doesn’t make any sense to me. 

But people really loved the show and I was constantly 

approached on the street, by both grannies from the

because I simply didn’t feel like it anymore, and it 

was taking up too much of my time. 

Along with flowers, you’re also active in the fields of 

design, scenography, you work as an art director 

and photographer for the “Lifestyle” section of one of 

our weekly national papers. You truly epitomize the 

interdisciplinary approach that dominates our time. 

Do you have any other interests? 

Sometimes I lose track of my criteria and I start working 

on just about anything, but I choose what I like. 

Simply put, I go where the water takes me. I don’t 

really have ambitions to achieve grand things, as I 

spend most of my time playing around. Every now 

and then, I even refuse some major offers because 

I don’t feel like working on something artificial. I like 

to work on scenography because that is very creative 

in the sense of interpreting the text. I haven’t really 

read that much in my life and I am not much 

of a reader, but when I work on scenography, I really 

have to be focused while reading the text. That 

makes me realize the true richness of that text. You 

must work with your heart and be honest, and that is 

not easy to do these days. 

What are your plans for the future? 

I’ll go where the water takes me. I truly don’t know.

Stilist ureðenja interijera - 

zanimanje buduænosti 

Odnedavno mnogi domovi izgledaju kao da su kopirani sa stranica časopisa za uređenje 

interijera. Boje na zidovima se savršeno podudaraju, a dizajn namještaja, proporcije 

i ukupni dojam toliko su upečatljivi da izazivaju strahopoštovanje. Sanjate 

li o tome da vaš dom postane uređen poput vrhunski retuširane fotografije, postoji 

rješenje. Unajmite stilista 

Piše: Marina Kocijan

Uređivanje prostora koji će oduševiti klijente, 

zadatak je s kojim se stilist neprestano 

susreće / The analysis of space and all its 

functions and needs can be defined as a 

stylist’s everyday field of work 

Stilist uređenja unutarnjih prostora posljednjih je 

godina sve traženije zanimanje na tržištu rada. Tijekom 

jednogodišnjeg obrazovanja može se verificirati, 

a osobe koje se odluče postati stilistima 

za interijere stječu znanja potrebna za funkcionalno i 

estetsko opremanje stambenih i poslovnih prostora. 

Na studijima stilisti uče teoriju boje, unutarnju prostornu 

organizaciju, materijale, povijest namještaja i stanovanja, 

razvoj modernog namještaja, a vrlo je važno da 

nauče slijediti trendove i zahtjeve tržišta. Analiza prostora, 

svih njegovih funkcija i potreba, spada u svakodnevno 

stilističko angažiranje, dok je pokazivanje talenta 

na estetskoj razini, odnosno uređivanje prostora 

koji će oduševiti klijente, zadatak s kojim se stilist neprestano 

susreće. Stilisti razumiju tehnike i vještine komponiranja 

boja i materijala prema zadanom prostoru, 

potrebi i namjeni. Iako su famozni stilisti obični ljudi koji 

svojom kreativnošću mogu učiniti prostor primamljivim 

i intrigantnim, njihov krajnji rezultat uvijek je povezan s 

Primjer stručno uređenog hotelskog lobbyja, Lux 11 / 

An example of professionally decorated hotel lobby, Lux 11 

... također i hotelskog restorana/... And also a hotel restaurant 

financijskim stanjem naručitelja. Na koncu, sve se svodi 

na dobru staru izreku – koliko para, toliko muzike. 

Stilisti urede, posao napreduje 

“Čim klijenti vide naš poslovni prostor, očekuju velike 

stvari od nas. Dakle, prostor nam je prijatelj“, izjavio je 

John Ludwig, osnivač svjetski poznate marketinške agencije 

Push. Htjeli mi to ili ne, izgled poslovnog prostora neprestano 

govori, ne samo o zaposlenicima koji u njemu 

borave, nego i o uspješnosti tvrtke. Nezamislivo je pozvati 

klijente u prostore koji nisu u skladu s politikom tvrtke. Stoga, 

želite li na potencijalne klijente ostaviti dojam uspješnosti, 

kreativnosti, profesionalnosti i stručnosti, od velikog 

je značenja dati sto posto svoga vremena na traženje 

osobe koja će vaš poslovni prostor urediti vrhunski. Najbolji 

u tome su, pretpostavljate, stilisti za interijere. 

Gdje ih pronaći? 

Radna mjesta na kojima stilist interijera uspješno djeluje 

37

uglavnom su dizajnerski studiji za uređenje interijera, studiji 

za dekore, za uređivanje izloga, scenografiju ili tvrtke 

koje se bave prodajom namještaja i opreme. Također, 

može ih se pronaći i u tvrtkama koje se bave izvedbom i 

opremanjem stambenih i poslovnih prostora. Uglavnom, 

stilista ima svuda. Poželite li unajmite stilista koji će vam 

urediti privatne prostorije, pravoga ćete stručnjaka prepoznati 

po poznavanju osnovnih pravila struke. Jedno 

od najvažnijih jest da dobro uređen prostor mora biti takav 

da u njemu nijedan postavljeni predmet nije i neće 

biti trn u oku. 

Stručnjaci za izloge 

Dobro uređeni izlozi ključan su vizualni “detalj” koji je često 

presudan za rad svake trgovine. Kada ga uređuju 

profesionalci, odnosno školovani stilisti, u njemu prepoznajemo 

duh profesionalizma, estetske sofisticiranosti i 

dobrog ukusa. Uđete li u trgovinu, primijetit ćete da je 

roba njezin glavni element. Bez obzira na idejna i kreativna 

rješenja uređenja unutarnjeg prostora, pravilo je da 

oprema na kojoj roba stoji ne smije dominirati. U izlogu u 

kojem svoje prste imaju stilisti, upravo je obrnuto. U njega 

se stavlja detalj koji intrigira promatrače i mami ih da 

provire u trgovine. Roba u izlogu se ističe u kombinaciji s 

posebnim efektima kao što su rasvjeta ili zanimljivi detalji, 

ukrasni ili umjetnički elementi. Umjetnost zanata upravo 

je privlačenje potencijalnih kupaca i otkrivanje onoga 

što je iza pozadine. 

Bliska zanimanja 

Mnogi stilisti interijera istodobno su i dizajneri, ljudi koji 

38 

Ugodan i topao dom želja je svake 

osobe / A warm and pleasant home is 

something that every person wants 

Često ne razmišljamo o 

tome kako će se kupljeni 

predmeti slagati 

u jednom prostoru / We 

hardly ever stop to think 

about those purchased 

objects getting along 

within one room 

osmišljaju, izrađuju i uređuju čovjekovu okolinu kako bi 

predmeti u njoj bili što funkcionalniji i ljepši. Oni su zaslužni 

za stilističko uređenje domova, poslovnih prostora, 

banaka, hotela, trgovina, izloga, kafića, restorana i svih 

drugih prostora u kojima se svakodnevno nalazimo. Svoj 

pečat ostavljaju na raznolikim mjestima, omogućujući 

tako sve veći razvoj zanimanja u kojem će mnogi ostvariti 

zavidne karijere. 

Pametni ljudi - izdvajaju koju kunu više 

Ugodan i topao dom, osobito ako u njemu provodimo 

veći dio vremena družeći se s obitelji ili prijateljima, želja 

je svake osobe. Mlađi ljudi najčešće počinju živjeti skromno 

u podstanarskim sobama i upravo takav početak 

stanovanja pomaže im da shvate kakav dom žele te da 

pažljivo isplaniraju i urede vlastiti. S obzirom na dizajnersku 

i modnu revoluciju, svima nam se nameće važno 

pitanje: kada već izdvajamo desetke tisuća eura za vlastite 

kvadrate, je li pametno izdvojiti još koju tisuću više 

kako bismo dom uredili sa stilom? Ne radi se pri tome o 

kupnji luksuznog namještaja, kao ni o skupim antikvitetima, 

nego o usklađivanju svih elemenata kod uređenja 

stana prema vlastitim željama, a uz pomoć stručne osobe. 

Potreba za profesionalnim uređenjem kuće ili stana 

postala je nužnost. Zbog nedostatka vremena, a i novca, 

kupujemo brzinski i ne razmišljamo o tome kako će 

se kupljeni predmeti slagati u jednom prostoru. Često ne 

razmišljamo ni o bojama, kojima ne poznajemo značenje 

i moguće kombinacije. Zbog svega toga, pametno 

je ohrabriti se, zamisliti savršen dom i otvoriti vrata stilistima 

za interijere. Njihovo vrijeme tek dolazi.

Interior Decoration Stylist - 

The Job of the Future 

Written by: Marina Kocijan 

Events 

It has recently become noticeable that numerous homes look as if they’ve 

been copied off pages from interior decoration magazines. Colours on the 

walls complement each other perfectly, while the furniture design, proportions 

and the overall impression are so distinctive that they simply leave 

you in awe. If you’re dreaming about your home becoming decorated like a 

supremely retouched photograph, there is a solution. Hire a stylist 

39

Events Dobro 

An interior decoration stylist has become an increasingly 

requested profession on the job market 

over the last several years. It takes a one-year 

education process to gain verification, and the people 

who decide to become interior stylists learn what 

is needed to functionally and aesthetically decorate 

residential and business premises. During the course of 

the study, stylists learn about theory of colour, interior 

space organization, materials, history of furniture and 

residences, development of modern furniture, and it is 

very important that they learn to follow trends and demands 

of the market. The analysis of space and all its 

functions and needs can be defined as a stylist’s everyday 

field of work, while displaying talent on an aesthetical 

level, or decorating a space in a way that will 

leave clients enchanted, is an assignment that a stylist 

will constantly encounter. Stylists understand techniques 

and skills of applying colours and materials depending 

on the space, its needs and purpose. Although famous 

stylists are regular people that can use their creativity to 

make a space more tempting and intriguing, their final 

result is always connected to the financial state of the 

client. It all eventually comes down to that old saying 

– you get what you pay for. 

40 

uređen prostor mora biti takav da u njemu 

nijedan postavljeni predmet ne bude trn u oku / A welldecorated 

space mustn’t have a single object that is 

positioned in such way that it stands out like “a fish out 

of water” 

Stylists Decorate, Business Success Increases 

“As soon as clients see our business premises, they expect 

great things from us. Therefore, our premises are 

our friend”, says John Ludwig, founder of the worldfamous 

marketing agency Push. Whether we like it or 

not, how the business premises look speaks volumes 

not only of the employees that spend time there, but 

also of the company’s success rate. It is unimaginable 

to invite clients into the premises that don’t agree with 

the company policy. Therefore, if you want to leave 

an impression of successfulness, creativity, professionalism 

and skilfulness on your potential clients, it is very 

important to give a 100% of your time to the purpose 

of finding a person that will do a tremendous job with 

your business premises. As you must assume, the best 

people for the job are interior stylists. 

Where Do We Find Them? 

Work locations where an interior stylist successfully 

hones his skills are usually interior design studios, shopwindow 

decoration studios, scenography studios and 

companies that sell furniture and equipment. Also, they 

can be found in companies that deal with creating 

and furnishing residential and business spaces. Long

Potreba za profesionalnim uređenjem kuće ili stana 

postala je nužnost / The need for professional decoration 

of an apartment or a house has become a necessity 

story short, stylists can be found everywhere. If you wish 

to hire a stylist that will decorate your private premises, 

you can recognize a proper expert by knowing the 

basic rules of the profession yourself. One of the most 

important rules is that a well-decorated space mustn’t 

have a single object that is positioned in such way that 

it stands out like “a fish out of water”. 

Experts for Shop Windows 

Well-decorated shop windows are a crucial visual “detail” 

that often makes the difference when it comes to 

the business of any store. When it is decorated by professionals 

or educated stylists, we look at it and recognize 

the spirit of professionalism, aesthetic sophistication 

and good taste. If you walk into a store, you will notice 

that its goods represent the main element. Regardless 

of the ideas and creative solutions that dominate the 

decoration job on that particular premise, the main rule 

is that the equipment that carries the goods mustn’t 

dominate in any way. A shop window that was worked 

on by stylists is completely opposite. It is enriched by a 

detail that intrigues the observers and lures them into 

checking out the store. The item in the window is emphasized 

in combination with special effects such as 

lighting or interesting details, artistic or decoration elements. 

The art of the trade is hidden in the process of 

attracting potential buyers and making them want to 

find out what is behind the door. 

Closely Related Jobs 

Many interior stylists are also designers at the same time, 

which means they come up with, create and decorate 

someone’s environment in order to make it as functional 

and lovely as possible. They receive recognition for 

stylistic decoration of homes, business premises, banks, 

hotels, stores, shop windows, coffee bars, restaurants 

and all other premises that we find ourselves in on daily 

basis. They leave their mark on the most diverse of 

places, which enables the further development of this 

profession where many others will achieve major careers. 

Smart People – They Don’t Mind Giving Some 

Extra-Kunas 

A warm and pleasant home, especially if that is where 

we spend the majority of our time hanging out with 

family or friends, is something that every person wants. 

Younger people usually have modest beginnings in 

subtenant rooms, but those precise residential beginnings 

help them to understand the type of home they 

want, so they can carefully plan it out and decorate it. 

Considering the design and fashion revolution, we all 

have one important question in front of us: since we’re 

giving dozens of thousands of euros for our own square 

metres, how smart is it to release a few extra thousands 

in order to decorate our home in style? And we’re not 

talking about buying luxurious furniture or expensive 

antique objects, but rather about harmonizing all the 

elements in the apartment according to our wishes, 

with the help of a professional. The need for professional 

decoration of an apartment or a house has become 

a necessity. Due to the lack of time and money, we 

buy things in very fast manner, and we hardly ever stop 

to think about those purchased objects getting along 

within one room. We often don’t even think about colours, 

as we don’t know their meanings and possible 

combinations. Due to all these reasons, the smart thing 

to do is to find the courage, imagine a perfect home, 

and open your doors to interior stylists. Their time is still 

to come.

Na strmoj uzvisini u utrobi Istre, na lijevoj obali 

rijeke Mirne, okružen očuvanim gotičkim zidinama 

i kulama, miruje gradić Motovun. Osim 

što stoljećima privlači posjetitelje svojom srednjovjekovnom 

ljepotom, iz nekog razloga na sebe stoljećima 

vezuje brojne mitove, poput onoga po kojemu 

su ga izgradili sami divovi (među najpoznatijima je zasigurno 

i sam Nazorov Veli Jože), i ezoterijska vjerovanja. 

Tako se u novije vrijeme tvrdi kako se Motovun nalazi na 

tzv. Zmajevoj brazdi, sjecištu energetskih meridijana samoga 

planeta. Prema takvim teorijama new agea, na 

mjestima na kakvom se smjestio Motovun Zemlja pronalazi

da je područje Motovuna jedno od najranije naseljenih

Joseph Ressel, primjerice, izumitelj brodskog vijka i autor 

mnogih drugih patenata, proveo je dobar dio svoga 

radnog vijeka u Motovunu, kao državni upravitelj 

šuma. Stoga bi možda zgodno bilo povezati to nadahnuće 

sa spomenutim fenomenima vezanim uz grad i 

područje. Također je malo poznato da je izumitelj glazbenog 

tiska Andrea Antico rođeni Motovunac. Očito 

se ovaj minijaturni gradić s velikim divovima, osim Velog 

Jože, ima pohvaliti i drugim značajnim povijesnim 

osobama. 

Unutrašnjost Istre doista je posebno začudna, a Motovun 

je svojevrsni njezin centar. Zapravo je Motovun 

idealna izletnička lokacija. Blizina vinskih cesta, drugih

zvjezdarnice u Višnjanu, omogućuje trenutke uživanja

“artikle“ iz ponude Motovuna namijenjene toj svrsi. Turizam 

u Motovunu voli se pohvaliti brojnim originalnim 

aktivnostima, poput vožnje biciklima po gradu i okolici, 

berbe grožđa u motovunskim vinogradima u rujnu, 

branja šparoga, sakupljanja tartufa, ribolova na rijeci 

Mirni, u podnožju grada, škole jahanja u prirodnom ambijentu,

Dojmovi lišenosti stresa i potpunog zaborava poslovnih

mirom, zajednički su velikom broju onih koji su proveli 

svoj tjedni odmor u Motovunu. Također se neprestano

Motovun danas živne u vrijeme filmskog festivala, koji 

je u početku okupljao alternativu i entuzijaste, a danas 

već i svekoliku društvenu kremu. Ono što privlači elitu 

na Motovunski filmski festival zasigurno je jedinstven 

osjećaj jednakosti među sudionicima i publikom, također 

i među pripadnicima različitih društvenih skupina i 

slojeva. Drugim riječima, kad dođu u Motovun, svi su 

isti – nema mjesta za štikle i šljokice. Jednostavno se ne 

uklapaju u koncept događanja. U Motovunu svi postanu 

prirodno opušteni. Kronični problemi s parkiranjem, 

kao i činjenica da Motovun još uvijek nema više od jednog 

hotela, nikako ne može naškoditi dojmu iskonskoga, 

živopisnoga i prekrasnoga, u Motovunu i oko njega 

– pogotovo u proljeće i ljeti. I nepobitnoj spoznaji da se 

onamo uvijek isplati otići.

“Sweet Escape” into the

On a steep hill in the entrails of Istria, on the 

left coast of the river Mirna, surrounded by 

preserved Gothic city walls and castles, we 

find a peaceful town called Motovun. Besides 

the centuries of attracting visitors with its medieval 

beauty, some curious reason has attached numerous 

myths to the town over the centuries, such as the one 

that says that the town was built solely by giants (Nazor’s 

Veli Jože is certainly the most famous of them all), 

as well as numerous esoteric beliefs. It has lately been 

claimed that Motovun is positioned on the so-called 

Dragon’s Furrow, which stands for the crossroads of the 

planet’s energetic meridians. According to such newage 

theories, places such as Motovun feature the “bre-

the so-called Dragon’s Furrow, which stands for the crossroads

athing organs” of the Earth, which makes them particularly 

attractive and pleasant to stay at, due to the 

fact that they encourage spirituality and creativity and 

have a favourable effect on many aspects of life. 

Perhaps those reasons can offer the explanation for 

the fact that the area around Motovun is one of the 

first areas to be inhabited, being that its first communities 

have been established in the pre-historic era. 

Whether we’re talking about merely a favourable natural 

area for living or have the ancient representatives 

of the human race used their instincts to “sense” this 

fine vibration, we’ll leave that decision to those dealing 

with litopuncture and similar bio-artistic new-age 

disciplines. We will leave the pre-historic times and re-

Adventure 

turn to Motovun of today, as it is a small town with 

a geographical position and strategic meaning that 

have provided a far richer history and a more famous 

present than its own physical limitations and realistic 

spatial dimensions would indicate. 

Joseph Russell, for example, the inventor of a boat 

propeller and author of many other patents, has

pretty unfamiliar that Andrea Antico, inventor of the

music press, was born in Motovun. It is obvious that this 

One of the myths says that the town was built solely by 

miniature town with grand giants has more significant 

giants 

historical people to boast with than merely Veli Jože. 

The inside parts of Istria are especially wondrous, and 

Motovun may as well be proclaimed their centre. Motovun 

can actually be observed as an ideal daytrip 

location. The closeness of wine roads and other picturesque 

locations, such as the Istrian Spa, Meadows 

and the Astronomical Observatory in Višnjan enable 

plenty of moments of enjoyment in active vacation, 

especially when we list all the “articles” that Motovun 

has to offer in that field. Tourism in Motovun likes to 

brag with many original activities, such as biking around 

the town and its area, picking grapefruits in Motovun’s 

vineyards in September, picking asparagus, 

collecting truffles, fishing in the river Mirna below the 

town, horseback riding in the natural ambience around 

Motovun, canoeing in the river during the summer, 

having dinner near the campfire in a natural ambience, 

going game hunting around Motovun, free 

climbing, paragliding and detouring the wine roads. 

A weekend in the inside parts of Istria will make you 

feel as if you were reborn. The impression of being 

devoid of stress and completely forgetting about business 

or other concerns and problems of the everyday 

life, as well as getting “high” on peace, is what 

is in common to a large number of people that have 

decided to spend their week-long vacations in Motovun. 

Serenity cannot be emphasized enough, as well 

as the good manners of the local people. It is a truly a 

“sweet escape” experience – a perfect corner where 

time stands still in the most possible way. 

These days, Motovun will get a little busier during its 

film festival, which originally assembled the alternative 

and enthusiasts, but has now grown into an overall 

mainstream occasion. The one thing that attracts the 

elite to the Motovun Film Festival is surely the unique 

feeling of equality among the participants and the 

audience, as well as among members of different social 

groups and classes. In other words, everyone’s the Boravak na ovakvim mjestima potiče duhovnost i kreati- 

same when they get to Motovun – there is no room vnost / Staying at such places encourages spirituality and 

for high heels and posers. They just do not fit into the creativity 

event’s concept. Everyone will become relaxed in a 

natural way in Motovun. Chronic parking problems, as 

well as the fact that Motovun still has only one hotel, 

cannot do anything to harm the impression of the instinctive, 

picturesque and beautiful in Motovun and 

around it – especially in spring and summer. As well 

as the undeniable fact that it’s always worth it to take 

this particular trip.

je Starck, budući da se trebalo raspolagati 

širokim spektrom elemenata suvremenog 

industrijskog dizajna, kao i dizajna interijera, 

u čemu je Francuz provjereno suverena 

figura 


Prošle je godine, u rujnu, u Hollywoodu otvoren 

novi restoran u lancu SBE Restaurant & Nightlife 

Group. Njihov brand Katsuya dobio je ime 

prema poznatome japanskome majstoru sushija 

u Los Angelesu Katsuyi Uechiju, a o kakvoj se 

veličini radi u svijetu gastronomije i lifestylea uopće, 

svjedoči uspjeh prethodnog lokala u lancu, onoga u 

kalifornijskom Brentwoodu, kraju zapadnog LA-a, koji 

je ubrzo nakon otvaranja dobio epitet spektakularnoga. 

Katsuya Hollywood, pak, podičio se pečatom i potpisom 

Philippea Starcka, jednog od produktivnijih i 

intrigantnijih dizajnera današnjice. Za njega direktor 

SBE-a Sam Nazarian kaže kako će se i uz standardnu, 

provjerenu ponudu branda Katsuya, hollywoodska 

filijala ne samo pokušati duhom uklopiti u novo okružje, 

nego će preuzeti i vodeću ulogu u poboljšanju 

kvalitete usluge, odnosno konzumerskog identiteta 

čitavog okruga. 

Ono što razlikuje i unaprjeđuje hollywoodski restoran 

od brentwoodškog prethodnika prije svega je, dakle, 

nešto provokativniji i seksepilniji Starckov dizajn.

Hvaleći se “remek-djelom senzualnosti, ljepote i duševnosti”, 

u pokušaju približavanja općem značenju 

Hollywooda, restoran već pri prvom susretu odaje dojam 

uzvišenoga. Ulazi se, dakle, kroz barsku prostoriju 

s umjetnički posloženim primjercima noževa za sushi 

i autentičnim, “lebdećim” crvenim kimonima. Slijedi 

središnja prostorija u kojoj se ističe sushi bar, opremljen 

zavodljivim Starckovim stolicama iz serije Kong i crnom 

zavjesom Noren s Katsuyinim kanji-simbolom. Inače, zidom 

čitavog restorana dominiraju fetiši izazovnih motiva 

s lica i tijela japanske gejše, što je već postalo zaštitnim 

znakom ovog lanca. 

Katsuyina filozofija, u suradnji sa Starckom, jest pružiti 

autentično iskustvo Japana, odnosno još jednom, spojem 

tradicionalnoga i modernoga, suvremenoga go- 

Brand Katsuya dobio je ime prema poznatome japanskome 

majstoru sushija Katsuyi Uechiju / Brand Katsuya was named 

after a famous Japanese master of sushi Katsuya Uechi 

sta približiti doslovno iskustvu jedenja hrane u krugu oko 

vatre. Za takav spoj nužan je bio angažman autora kakav 

je Starck, budući da se trebalo raspolagati širokim 

spektrom elemenata suvremenog industrijskog dizajna, 

kao i dizajna interijera, u čemu je Francuz provjereno 

suverena figura. Primjerice, za priziv osjećaja bliskosti, 

Starck je posegnuo za prostorom lounge bara, gdje je 

posložio niske stolove s mnoštvom jastuka, koristio se intimističkom 

rasvjetom uz već spomenuta artistička obilježja 

na zidovima i drvene stropne i podne elemente 

koji dodatno djeluju udobno i toplo. Općenito, čitava 

ideja vodilja je istočnjački minimalistična, a za iskustvo 

rada u restoranu Katsuya sam Starck je sklon izjaviti 

kako mu je bliži “monaški” pristup od dizajna loungea 

te kako je tu on zapravo “stvorio i opremio jedan sa- 

51

Dragon lounge namijenjen je uživanju u koktelima / Dragon Lounge 

is aimed for enjoying cocktails 

mostan”. Možda baš sraz ovog principa s prethodno 

uočenim fetišističkim nabojem naglašene senzualnosti 

čini Katsuyu osobito privlačnim i poželjnim. 

Sami podaci o restoranu govore sljedeće: od ukupno 

180 mjesta, u središnjoj se prostoriji može smjestiti 68 

osoba, dok tamniji Dragon lounge, namijenjen ponajprije 

uživanju u koktelima, ali i kompletnim obrocima, 

ugošćuje njih 50. Također su na raspolaganju dva privatna 

separea, od kojih svaki prima po osam osoba. 

Spomenuti bar na ulazu ima mjesta za 18, a također je 

tu i otvoreni dio s 40 stolova orijentiran prema Hollywoodu 

i Vine Boulevardu. 

Hrana koja se poslužuje u restoranu originalan je uzorak 

Katsuyina gastroportfelja kojim već tri desetljeća obogaćuje 

ponudu japanske tradicionalne kuhinje u Los Angelesu. 

Štoviše, promotori kažu kako je sam dizajn i ambijentalni 

hype restorana tek “energetska nadgradnja” u ideji Kat- 

52 

suya Hollywooda, budući da je osnova i razlog čitavog 

lanca upravo u Katsuyinu kulinarskom umijeću. Tako 

spomenuti sushi bar unutar restorana nudi remek-djela 

umjetnosti sushija, rolada i sashimi plata. Japanski grill 

Robata u Katsuyi priprema jela poput odreska sa šparogama 

u ljutom umaku teriyaki ili pak kraljevskog (aljaskanskog) 

raka sa sojinim maslacem i češnjakom. Specijaliteti 

glavne kuhinje su ljuta tuna s hrskavim lukom i 

druga jela, uglavnom od ribe, s atraktivnim umacima i 

prilozima od soje ili miso-algi. 

Katsuya Hollywood, kao još jedan proizvod nedavno 

započete suradnje nekoliko brandova – majstora kuhinje 

Katsuye, SBE-ova menadžmenta i Starckova dizajna, 

navela je kritiku trendsetera magazina Angeleno 

na zaključak kako je iskustvo posjeta ovom tek otvorenom 

restoranu “sudjelovanje u nečemu vrlo, vrlo važnome”...

Gastro 

In September of last year, Hollywood witnessed the 

opening of a new restaurant from the SBE Restaurant 

& Nightlife Group. Their brand Katsuya was named after 

a famous Japanese master of sushi Katsuya Uechi 

from Los Angeles, and to further emphasize its importance 

in the world of gastronomy and lifestyle in general, 

one must only look at the success of the chain’s previous 

establishment, the one in Brentwood, California near 

western LA, which was dubbed as spectacular soon after 

the opening. 

On the other hand, Katsuya Hollywood prides itself on being 

“signed and sealed” by Philippe Starck, one of the 

more productive and intriguing designers of our time. 

He is the reason the SBE director Sam Nazarian claims 

that, along with the standard and established offering 

of brand Katsuya, the Hollywood branch will not only attempt 

to adjust to the spirit of the new environment, but 

will also accept the leading role in the process of improv- 

54 

In order to successfully combine the traditional and the modern at the newly opened 

restaurant Katsuya Hollywood, it was necessary to hire an author like Starck because 

it was required to work with a wide spectrum of elements from the fields of industrial 

design and interior design, in which Starck is established as a second-to-none figure. 


Restoran već pri prvom susretu odaje dojam uzvišenoga / 

The restaurant achieves the impression of transcendence 

during the very first encounter 

ing the quality of service and the consumption identity of 

the entire district. 

The one thing that separates and improves the Hollywood 

restaurant from its Brentwood predecessor is 

primarily Starck’s somewhat sexier and more provocative 

design. Being praised as “a masterpiece of sensuality, 

beauty and spirituality” in an attempt of getting 

nearer to Hollywood’s general meaning, the restaurant 

achieves the impression of transcendence during the 

very first encounter. The entrance leads you through 

the bar room with artistically arranged samples of sushi 

knives and authentic “floating” red kimonos. That is followed 

by the central room that is dominated by the sushi-bar, 

which is equipped with seductive Starck’s chairs 

from the Kong Series and a black Noren curtain with 

Katsuya’s kanji-symbol. It should also be mentioned that 

the entire restaurant’s walls are dominated by fetishes of 

challenging motifs from the face and body of a Japa-

nese geisha, which has already become a trademark of 

this chain. 

Katsuya’s philosophy, in cooperation with Starck, is to provide 

an authentic experience of Japan, which is achieved 

by once again using a combination of traditional and 

modern elements that lead the contemporary guest closer 

to a literary experience of eating in a circle around the 

fire. That sort of combination simply craved for the hiring 

of an author like Starck, as it was required to work with a 

wide spectrum of elements from the fields of contemporary 

industrial design and interior design, in which Starck 

is established as a second-to-none figure. For example, in 

order to achieve a sense of closeness, Starck made a few 

decisions regarding the lounge bar, where he positioned 

low tables with plenty of cushions while using intimate lighting 

that, when combined with the already-mentioned artistic 

features on walls and the wooden elements on the 

ceiling and the floor, has further effect on the warm and 

cosy ambience. In general, the whole guiding idea was 

influenced by Eastern minimalism, and while talking about 

the experience of working on restaurant Katsuya, Starck 

has the tendency to say that he prefers the “monastic” 

approach to designing a lounge, and that he actually 

“created and equipped a monastery” while working on 

Katsuya Hollywood. It could be that the conflict of this 

principle with the previously described fetishist impulses of 

extreme sensuality is what makes Katsuya attractive and 

desirable to this extent. 

The basic restaurant information contain the following: 

out of the overall capacity of 180 people, 68 of them can 

be accommodated in the central room, while the darker 

Dragon Lounge, aimed primarily for enjoying cocktails as 

well as complete meals, can be filled up with 50 people. 

Guests also have two private booths at their disposal, and 

both of them can take up to eight people. The abovementioned 

entrance bar has enough room for 18 people, 

and we can also find the open section with 40 tables oriented 

towards Hollywood and Vine Boulevard. 

The food that is served in the restaurant is an original sample 

of Katsuya’s gastro-portfolio, which has been improving 

the offering of Japanese traditional cuisine in Los Angeles 

for three decades. Furthermore, the promoters claim 

that the very design and ambient “hype” of the restaurant 

serve as the “energetic addition” in the idea of Katsuya 

Hollywood, due to the fact that the entire basis and reason 

for the existence of the entire chain lie in Katsuya’s 

culinary skills. That’s why the abovementioned sushi-bar 

within the restaurant offers masterpieces of sushi meals, 

rolls and sashimi plates. Japanese grill Robata in Katsuya 

prepares meals such as steak with asparagus in spicy teriyaki 

sauce, as well as the royal (Alaskan) crab with soya 

butter and garlic. The cuisine’s main specialties include 

spicy tuna with crunchy onion and other meals that are 

mostly fish-oriented, and which feature attractive sauces 

and side dishes containing soya and miso-algae. 

Katsuya Hollywood, as another product of the recently established 

cooperation between several brands – cuisine 

master Katsuya, SBE management and Starck’s design, 

has encouraged the critics of the trend-setting Angeleno 

Magazine to come up with the conclusion that the experience 

of visiting this just-opened restaurant is “taking part in 

something that is very, very important”…

Vauni Globe is a spherical fireplace,

without a chimney and standing 

on a 360°-adjustable stalk. 

Globe functions on the principle 

of a most advanced 

device for ethanol burning, 

with regulation of the burning

Vauni are numerous – no additional 

cleaning or maintaining is 

required, and this combination 

puts ashes and soot way into the 

past.

The waterproof 

Idomeneo binocular

package and it is bound to come 

in handy while watching theatre 

plays from far-away sections of the 

crowd, presuming that you’re not a 

lighthouse keeper with a developed 

passion for additional, non-applicable 

details. 

Lifestyle 

and Telecommunication 

The new Armani’s luxurious cell-phone 

perfectly suits Armani’s lifestyle philosophy 

as a decision in which design and 

performance are the criteria. A partnership 

with Samsung, which is a pioneer 

of combining technology and lifestyle, 

was established for that purpose. That 

resulted in the creation of the Armani- 

Samsung cell-phone, and it is the first 

presented product of this new “strategic” 

partnership.

MARKO TADIÆ: 

Prièe iz nepoznatog 

“Iako je zaigranost važna odrednica radova 

Marka Tadića, prepoznatljivo vizualno šarenilo 

gotovo uvijek zrači i nekovrsnom nelagodom. 

Ona izvire iz senzibiliteta za karnevaleskno: 

sklonost k razotkrivanju ispraznih reprezentacija 

i zavirivanja iza poroznih fasada, istraživanje 

medijskog zagađenja, portretiranje 

svakodnevice u srazu kontrasta konzumerizma 

i osiromašenja, strast transformiranja i 

izokretanja naglavce” (Ana Dević) 

Piše: Nataša Bodrožiæ 

Umjetnost danas uspješna je manipulacija znakovima, 

što neizbježno podrazumijeva kontekst 

u kojemu se djeluje. Kada govorimo o suvremenoj 

umjetnosti, bitno je naglasiti da ona izlazi iz 

čistog svijeta likovnosti koji joj je postao preuzak, baveći 

se, među ostalim, artikulacijom suvremenih društvenih 

pitanja. Slika nije više samo objekt obješen na zid. Priča 

o Marku Tadiću, jednom od najprisutnijih i najuspješnijih 

mlađih umjetnika kod nas, priča je o stvaranju specifičnog 

likovnog jezika koji balansira na granici između 

slikarstva, grafitti arta, ambijentalnih instalacija, kreirajući 

nove, hibridne forme i prepoznatljiv rukopis, na prvi 

pogled nalik dječjem crtežu. Izokrenuta značenja, jezične 

slagalice, privatna mini mitologija u naglašenom 

koloritu, miks osobnih preokupacija i pop-kulture, dio je 

onoga što se može iščitati iz njegovih radova. 

Marko Tadić je rođen u Sisku 1979. godine. Diplomirao

je slikarstvo na Accademiji di belle arti u Firenci 2006. 

Već nekoliko godina prisutan je na umjetničkoj sceni; 

imao je tri samostalne izložbe u Hrvatskoj te sudjelovao 

na skupnim izložbama u Zagrebu, Ljubljani, Beogradu, 

Firenci, Kasselu i Nottinghamu. Dobitnik je nagrade Salona 

mladih 2006. u Zagrebu, a bio je i finalist nedavno 

održanog natječaja za T-HT nagradu Muzeja suvremene 

umjetnosti u Zagrebu. Njegov je rad krajem prošle 

godine predstavljen u Berlinu projektom “Linienstrasse- 

113” Filip Tradea, kojim se promovira nekoliko odabranih 

hrvatskih suvremenih umjetnika u jednoj od najvažnijih 

europskih umjetničkih metropola. 

Crteži Marka Tadića izrazito su upečatljive minijature, 

čudni pejsaži derivirani iz autorove nutrine više nego iz 

stvarnosti koja ga okružuje, iako je njezin utjecaj više 

nego prisutan, a manifestira se u stripovskoj estetici, 

medijski posredovanim slikama kao vizualnoj osnovi i 

svim onim nesvjesnim utjecajima popa, kao generacijskoj 

odrednici. Crtačka minucioznost, pomalo nadrealni 

narativni sklop, neprijeteća komunikativnost unatoč 

naglašenom koloritu, ono je što Tadićev rad čini mikrokozmosom 

nikad prije ispričanih priča. Zanimljiv je i njegov 

odabir tehnika te materijala kojima se služi. Često 

koristi flomaster i tuš te slika na odbačenim upotrebnim 

predmetima, plastičnim tanjurima, drvenim kuhinjskim 

daskama, jeftinim podlošcima. 

U okviru svoje prve samostalne izložbe u Zagrebu, naziva 

“Household”, u galeriji Nova 2003. godine, Tadić 

se bavio propitivanjem statusa umjetničkih i svakodnevnih 

predmeta, njihove funkcionalnosti i dekorativnosti, 

preklapanja i reverzibilnosti. Napušteni prostor bivše 

prodavaonice cipela postao je kontekst i podloga za 

umjetničku intervenciju. Grafitiranjem zidova, oslikavanjem 

tapisona i zatečenog namještaja te unošenjem 

vlastitih radova, slika, polaroida, plakata, umjetnik je 

pretvorio izložbeni prostor u svojevrsni “totalni atelijer” u 

kojemu aktivnosti ne prestaju ni nakon formalnog otvorenja 

izložbe. “Projekt upućuje na preklapanje umjetničke 

prakse i svakodnevnog života, te, općenito, na 

manjak radnog umjetničkog prostora, kao i na mogućnosti 

privremenog kreativnog prisvajanja i privatiziranja 

različitih disfunkcionalnih urbanih zona.” 

“Storyboards” u galeriji Galženica te “Suveniri” u VN-u, 

nazivi su dviju prošlogodišnjih izložbi u okviru kojih je Tadić 

predstavio svoje novije radove. 

Originalno značenje riječi storyboards odnosi se na sekvencijalno-narativne 

prikaze koji se koriste pri produkciji 

stripova ili filmova kako bi što bolje predočili neku 

akciju ili narativ. “Storyboards” Marka Tadića čini podloga, 

u ovom slučaju drvena, na kojoj umjetnik gradi 

priču, ali ona nije jednoznačna niti egzistira u nekom 

strogo određenom, logičkom sustavu. Elementi figuracije 

razasuti su po površini i zajedno ne teže nikakvom 

cjelovitom narativnom sustavu, jednom, cjelovitom 

značenju. Više odgovaraju autorovoj potrebi da ispuni 

prostor osobnim simbolizmom, iscrtavajući možda 

61

62 

topografiju neke podsvjesne mape u kojoj je sadržano 

sve ono što može ili je moglo biti. Postoje tumačenja 

koja Tadićev postupak opisuju pojmom “grafitiranja”, 

kao postupkom “antiestetske intervencije u urbanom 

prostoru, koja brutalnim prisvajanjem javnih površina 

želi simbolički razbiti njihov neutralni građanski identitet 

te u javni prostor uvesti dimenziju društvene diferencijacije”, 

s tim da se on ovdje odnosi na “Tadićev tip 

voluntarističke intervencije koja ne intendira estetskoj 

ili narativnoj cjelovitosti, nego spomenute komponente 

združuje okrećući ih protiv, ili barem mimo, njihova formalnog, 

funkcionalnog i značenjskog integriteta. No, 

bez ikakve agresije ili etički upitne prisile, Tadićeva je 

gesta izrazito laka, a prijelaz između jedne stvarnosti u 

drugu gotovo neosjetan.” 

Možda je najzanimljiviji segment Tadićeva rada upravo 

njegov posljednji ciklus “Suveniri”. Umjetnik se, već godinama, 

bavi sakupljanjem staromodnih suvenira koji 

su se mogli naći na štandovima i u trgovinama diljem 

obale, ali i u drugim turističkim područjima, drvenih 

ploča na kojima su otisnute vedute nekog primorskog 

mjesta, planinski motiv ili nešto slično. “Ovi objekti autora 

privlače svojim izgledom, ali i kao dokument jednog 

iščezlog vremena s mutnim reminiscencijama na 

razdoblje socijalizma i vlastito odrastanje, na predvrijeme 

turizma u kojem su raznovrsne masovne migracije 

neprimjetno i polako prerastale u dominantnu svjetsku 

industriju.” U postojeće slikovne prikaze, često oštećene 

protokom vremena čime je promijenjen sam izgled 

mjesta na koje se odnose, umjetnik intervenira doslikavajući 

motive, dodajući tekst, mijenjajući ih, igrajući se 

samim motivom i vlastitim te kolektivnim sjećanjem. Tadić 

kreira polustvarna mjesta koja postaju podloga za 

sasvim drugi narativni okvir, za mistični prikaz na granici 

stvarnog, za priču iz nepoznatog… 

“Karakteristični element Tadićeva rada je preuzimanje 

različitih vrsta znakova s područja stripa, filma, reklamnea 

industrije, povijesti umjetnosti… Skupljajući ih 

marom strastvenog staretinara, Tadić reciklira ogromnu 

količinu odbačenih i potrošenih vizualnih znakova, 

dajući im novo značenje u kontekstu umjetničke slike, 

odnosno umjetničke izložbe.” Marko Tadić trenutačno 

živi i radi u Zagrebu.

MARKO TADIÆ: 

Stories from the Unknown 

“Although playfulness is an important characteristic of Marko Tadić and his works, the recognizable 

visual medley of colours almost always radiates a certain kind of awkwardness. It 

transpires from the sensibility for carnival aspects: a tendency towards revealing shallow representations 

and processes of peeping behind porous facades, analysing the media pollution, 

creating portraits of the everyday life based on the contrast between consumerism and poverty, 

a passion of transforming things and turning them upside down” (Ana Dević) 

Today’s art is a successful manipulation of signs, 

which unmistakably includes the context in which 

it takes part. When we talk about contemporary 

art, it is important to point out that it is starting to 

find its way out of the pure world of traditional art that 

has become slightly too narrow, and is starting to deal 

with, among other things, an articulation of modern social 

issues. A painting is no longer merely an object that 

Written by: Nataša Bodrožić 

is hung up on the wall. The story of Marko Tadić, one of 

the most present and most successful younger artists 

we have to offer, is a story about the creation of a specific 

art language that is walking a fine line between 

the art of painting, graffiti art, ambient installations, 

and that creates new hybrid forms and a recognizable 

style, which can originally look slightly like a drawing 

from a child. Twisted meanings, language puzzles, pri- 

63

vate mini-mythology within an emphasized structure 

of colours, a mixture of personal preoccupations and 

pop-culture, are all just a part of what can be found 

in his works. 

Marko Tadić was born in Sisak in 1979. He graduated 

painting at Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence in 2006. 

He has been present on the art scene for several years 

now; he had three solo exhibits in Croatia, as well as 

participated at group exhibits in Zagreb, Ljubljana, Belgrade, 

Florence, Kassel and Nottingham. He won the 

top award at the Youth Salon 2006 in Zagreb, and he 

was also the finalist of the recently held contest for the 

T-HT Award of the Museum of Modern Arts in Zagreb. 

At the end of last year, his work was presented in Berlin 

within the “Linienstrasse113” project by Filip Trade, 

which is used to promote several chosen Croatian contemporary 

artists in one of the most important European 

art capitals. 

Marko Tadić’s drawings are usually distinctive miniatures, 

odd landscapes that are more derived from 

within the author than from the reality that surrounds 

him. Although the influence of that reality is more than 

evident, as it manifests in comic-book aesthetics, media-transmitted 

pictures that also serve as a visual base 

for all those unconscious influences of pop that have 

64 

the role of being the generation determinant. Meticulous 

drawings, a slightly surreal narrative structure, a 

non-threatening way of communication despite the 

emphasized structure of colours – all those things make 

Tadić’s projects a micro-cosmos of stories that haven’t 

been told before. He is also interesting when it comes 

to his choice of techniques and materials that he uses. 

He often uses markers and ink, as well as draw on rejected 

used objects, plastic plates, wooden kitchen 

boards and cheap braces. 

Within his first solo exhibit in Zagreb, which was called 

“Household” at Nova Gallery in 2003, Tadić attempted 

to analyse the status of artistic and everyday objects, 

their functional and decorative qualities, as well as 

their overlapping and reversibility. The abandoned 

premise that used to serve as a shoe store became a 

context and a surface for artistic intervention. Drawing 

graffiti on walls, painting tapestries and the premise’s 

furniture, as well as bringing in his own works, paintings, 

polaroids and posters, the artist transformed the exhibit 

space into a type of “total atelier” where activities 

didn’t stop even the exhibit was formally opened. “The 

project refers to the overlapping of artistic practice 

and everyday life, as well as the general lack of work 

space for artists, which can possibly lead to the option

of the temporary creative occupying of various dysfunctional 

urban zones, thus making them your own 

for the moment.” 

“Storyboards” at Galženica Gallery and “Souvenirs” 

at VN are the names of two last year’s exhibits within 

which Tadić presented his latest projects. 

The original meaning of the word “storyboard” relates 

to the sequencing-narrative scenes that are used in 

the production of comic books or movies in order to 

adequately display any action or narrative aspects. 

“Storyboards” by Marko Tadić consist of a wooden 

surface on which the artist builds a story that is not 

single-minded, nor it exists in a strictly determined, 

logical system. Figurative elements are scattered all 

over the surface, thus ceasing to attempt the creation 

of a complete narrative system with only one 

wholesome meaning. They rather lean towards the 

author’s need to fill the space with personal symbolism, 

which may be sketching topography of a subconscious 

map that features all that is possible, or 

once might have been. There are interpretations that 

describe Tadić’s procedure as “graffitization”, which 

stands for a procedure of “an anti-aesthetic intervention 

in urban space, which uses brutal occupying of 

public premises to symbolically break their neutral 

civil identity, and to bring in a dimension of social differentiation 

into the public space”. That procedure 

relates to “Tadić’s way of voluntary intervention that 

doesn’t aim for aesthetic or narrative completion, 

but rather unites those components by turning them 

against, or at least outside of, their formal, functional 

and meaningful integrity. But that takes place without 

any aggression or ethically questionable enforcement, 

as Tadić’s gesture is extremely effortless, and 

the transition from one reality into the next can hardly 

be felt.” 

Perhaps the most interesting segment of Tadić’s work is 

his latest cycle “Souvenirs”. For years now, the artist has 

occupied himself with collecting old-fashioned souvenirs 

that could be found on stands and in stores across 

the coast, but also in other tourist towns. Those souvenirs 

include wooden boards featuring aspects of a smaller 

coastal town, a mountain motif or something similar to 

that. “These objects attract the author with how they 

look, but also as a document of a vanished period of 

time with vague references to the era of socialism and 

his growing-up process, as well as to the early period 

of tourism in which various mass migrations slowly and 

unobtrusively transform into the dominant world industry.” 

The existing artistic motifs, often damaged by the 

passage of time that causes the change in the appearance 

of that specific little town, are approached by 

the artist in a way that he adds little motifs and pieces 

of text, changes the existing ones, plays with the motif 

itself, as well as with his own and collective memory. 

Tadić creates semi-actual places that become the 

base of an entirely different narrative frame, a mystical 

description at the limit of what’s real, and a story from 

the unknown… 

“A characteristic element of Tadić’s work is the takeover 

of different types of symbols from the fields of comic 

book, film, advertisement industry, art history… By collecting 

them with an enormous passion for all things antique, 

Tadić recycles a huge amount of rejected and 

worn-out visual symbols, providing them with a new 

meaning within a context of an artistic painting or an 

artist’s exhibit.” Marko Tadić currently lives and works in 

Zagreb.

Turisti koji su nedavno posjetili Oman kažu kako je 

obala te arapske zemlje na pragu Perzijskog zaljeva, 

pogotovo dijela u okolici drevne prijestolnice 

Muscata (Masqat), u potpunosti podređena turističkoj 

izgradnji, tj. devastirana. Rovokopači na izrovanim 

plažama možda pripremaju novu, napredniju 

vizuru atraktivnog odredišta, međutim trenutačno to 

sve skupa ne djeluje impresivno, pogotovo ne na mjestu 

kakvo se očekuje kao ambijentalni kontekst hotela 

The Chedi Muscat, jednog od aduta poznatog lanca 

Chedi. 

Sam Muscat je jedan od najstarijih gradova Bliskog istoka, 

koji je sredinom prošle godine doživio jedan od najsnažnijih 

ciklonskih vjetrova u posljednjih 60 godina. Ciklon 

Gonu poharao je regiju i natjerao u bijeg desetke 

tisuća Omanaca, upravo u području oko Muscata. Po- 

Serai – otvoreni bazen s otvorenim pogledom / 

Serai – open pool with an open view 

sljedice te nepogode, međutim, uspješno su sanirane i 

nitko tko se zatekao na odmoru u The Chedi Muscatu, 

čak nedugo nakon nje, nije osjetio nikakve popratne 

efekte, sve od trenutka slijetanja u obližnju zračnu luku 

pa do kraja svog boravka u Omanu. Gosti hotela organizirano 

se dočekuju nakon slijetanja i, počašćeni jelom 

i pićem u znak dobrodošlice, odvoze se u hotel. 

Smještaj The Chedi Muscata pažljivo je promišljen i pozicioniran 

na slikovitom, uskom pojasu u podnožju monumentalnog 

prirodnog zastora – gromadnih planinskih 

obronaka, u izravnoj komunikaciji s pitomom površinom 

Indijskog oceana. Uza svu glomaznost prirodnih elemenata 

koji ga okružuju, hotel je smješten na nadasve mirnoj 

lokaciji, koja, iako leži na dijelu zrakoplovne rute, 

nije isuviše izložena buci budući da Oman u cjelini nije 

prometno prebukirano područje. U svakom slučaju, 15 

67

minuta udaljena zračna luka ni izdaleka ne remeti red 

među pet zvjezdica ovog vrlo hvaljenog hotela. 

Ideja dizajnera The Chedi Muscata pratila je ritam čitavog 

područja, samog grada Muscata, u kojemu starinsko, 

drevno, mirno koegzistira s novim i modernim. “Stare 

forme na nov način” bila je vodilja dvojca potpisnika 

hotelskog identiteta, Jean-Michela Gathyja, direktora 

Denniston Internationala sa sjedištem u Kuala Lumpuru, 

i Yasuhira Koichija iz svjetski poznatoga tokijskog studija 

Spin Design. U svrhu opuštenog pogleda na sve prirodne 

elemente u okruženju hotela, dvojica arhitekata s 

iskustvom rada na istočnoazijskim resortima osmislili su 

sustav međusobno užlijebljenih fasadnih slojeva oko 

tradicionalnih omanskih struktura. Tako se panoramski 

pogledi kroz vrtove palmi i vodene vrtove šire na sve 

strane Omanskog zaljeva, a sve skupa rezultira ambijentom, 

u najmanju ruku iznenađujućim za sve koji u 

Oman dođu s očekivanjem klasičnijeg iskustva unutar 

ove, najviše, razine izvrsnosti u globalnom odmorišnom 

asortimanu. 

Koncept likovnosti hotela sastoji se u ravnoj crti – matrica 

koja se ponavlja kroz sve funkcionalne cjeline, od

svaka od 115 soba i 36 hotelskih apartmana raspolaže 

terasom ili balkonom te potpunom opremom (zanimljivo 

je da u sobama uopće nema “bračnih” kreveta), naravno, 

s mogućnošću korištenja dječjeg (plitkog) i jednog 

standardnog, velikog bazena. 

Iako posjetitelji često navode nedostatke vezane uz svoj 

boravak u The Chedi Muscatu, poput spomenutih niskih 

preleta zrakopolova, desalinizacijskog sustava nezgodno 

smještenog u sklopu plaže, čak i krupne stijene na prilazima 

moru, gotovo svi su odreda zadivljeni boravkom 

na ovom fantastičnom mjestu, ponajprije zbog ljudskog, 

kreativnog faktora koji je rukom dvojice darovitih i motiviranih 

arhitekata stvorio arhetipski objekt, hotelski biser 

na Indijskom oceanu i Arapskom poluotoku. Uostalom, 

o kvaliteti The Chedi Muscata najbolje govore nagrade 

Condé Nast Traveller Readera, i to za 2007. (The Best of

Posljedice ciklona Gonu uspješno su sanirane / 

The consequences of cyclone Gonu heve been

Hotel je smješten na nadasve mirnoj lokaciji / The hotel 

is positioned on a remarkably peaceful location 

Tourists that recently visited Oman say that the 

coast of that Arabic country on the verge of the 

Persian Gulf, especially the area around the ancient 

capital Muscat (Masqat), is completely submitted 

to tourism construction, which means that it has 

been devastated. Trench-diggers on the destructed 

beaches may be preparing the new, more advanced 

visual version of the attractive destination, but that 

certainly doesn’t look impressive at this very moment, 

especially in a location like the ambient context of The 

Chedi Muscat Hotel, one of the branches of the famous 

chain Chedi. 

Muscat itself is one of the oldest cities in the Middle East, 

and it has experienced one of the strongest cyclonic 

winds over the last 60 years in the middle of last year. 

Cyclone Gonu has rampaged the region and caused 

the evacuation of dozens of thousands of Oman people, 

especially in the area around Muscat. The consequences 

of that disaster, however, have been successfully 

removed and no tourists that found themselves on 

vacation at The Chedi Muscat, even if it was shortly 

after it, have felt any side effects from the moment of 

landing into the near-by airport until the end of their 

Starinsko, drevno, mirno koegzistira s novim i modernim 

/ The archaic and ancient peacefully co-exists 

with the new and modern 

stay in Oman. The hotel guests are greeted in an organized 

way after the landing and, after they’re offered 

some food and drinks, are taken to the hotel. 

The Chedi Muscat’s location has been carefully considered 

and positioned on a picturesque, narrow area 

below a monumental natural curtain – enormous 

mountain slopes, which are in direct communication 

with the mild surface of the Indian Ocean. With all that 

grandeur of natural elements that surround it, the hotel 

is positioned on a remarkably peaceful location that, 

even though it lies on a part of the airline route, is not 

overly exposed to noise since Oman generally isn’t particularly 

active in the traffic sense. One way or another, 

the local airport, which is fifteen minutes away, does 

nothing to disturb the peace and quiet of this very 

praised five-star hotel. 

The idea of The Chedi Muscat’s designers has been 

in touch with the rhythm of the entire area, as well as 

the City of Muscat itself, which manages to have the 

archaic and ancient peacefully co-existing with the 

new and modern. “Old forms in a new way” was the 

guiding light of the two authors of the hotel’s identity – 

Jean-Michel Gathy, director of Denniston International

from Kuala Lumpur, and Yasuhiro Koichi from the worldfamous 

Tokyo studio Spin Design. With the purpose of 

achieving a relaxed view over all natural elements that 

surround the hotel, the two architects with experiences 

of working on East-Asian resorts have come up with a 

system of mutually intertwined façade layers around 

traditional Oman structures. That results in panoramic 

views through palm gardens and water gardens capturing 

all sides of the Gulf of Oman, and it all results in 

an ambience that is at least surprising for all those that 

visit Oman with expectations of a classic experience 

within the highest level of excellence in this global vacation 

assortment. 

The hotel’s artistic concept is defined through a straight 

line – a matrix that repeats itself through all functional 

units, from passages with arcs in the entrance to the 

lobby and the reception, continues within the bedrooms 

themselves. Mahogany is the predominant material, 

the furniture comes in cabana-style, and each of 

the 115 rooms and 36 hotel apartments have a terrace 

or balcony, as well as complete equipment (it’s inter- 

U odabiru materijala dominira mahagonij / Mahogany is the predominant material 

esting that there are no “marriage” beds in the rooms 

at all), and there is also the possibility of using the children’s 

(shallow) and one standard-sized swimming pool. 

Although visitors often mention certain downsides regarding 

their stay at The Chedi Muscat, such as the 

already-mentioned close encounters with airplanes, a 

desalination system that is awkwardly positioned within 

the beach, as well as huge rocks that can be found as 

you go for a swim, almost everybody remains in awe 

with their time in this fantastic location, primarily due to 

the human, creative factor that saw two talented and 

motivated architects create an archetypal object, a 

hotel pearl on the Indian Ocean and the Arabic Peninsula. 

The quality of The Chedi Muscat is best testified by 

awards from the Conde Nast Traveller Reader for 2007 

(The Best of the Best – 100 finest world’s vacation resorts 

in the Middle East, Africa and the Indian Ocean), as well 

as 2005 and 2006 (among ten of the finest resorts in the 

Middle East, Africa and the Indian Ocean), and the 2005 

award for being among ten best hotels with spa services 

in the Middle East, Africa and the Indian Ocean.

Mladalaèki stan 

s puno stila 

Dok moderne metode katkad mogu rezultirati hladnim i asketskim prizorima, u stanu 

Flama Davida, jednog od direktora u TDR-u, moderne linije su kombinirane s 

ugodnim tkaninama, toplim bojama i zaigranim detaljima 

Piše: Tatijana Suljiæ-Shoan Foto: Kristina Faziniæ 

Sve je tu šik, pa je čak i žlica za cipelu od inoksa 

oblikovana kao cipela Manola Blahnika, dok zelene 

jabuke na stolu u blagovaonici izgledaju kao 

skulptura Renea Magrittea. No takav stil je nešto 

sasvim prirodno za Flama Davida. On se nedavno doselio 

natrag u svoj rodni grad Zagreb iz Muenchena, te 

je sam dizajnirao svoj stan pomno obraćajući pažnju na 

svaki detalj. “Kažu da je stan zapravo ogledalo njegova 

vlasnika”, napominje Flam, “to je vrlo osobno mjesto koje 

te odražava i otkriva kakva osoba zaista jesi. Nadam se 

da moj stan otkriva da sam vrlo društvena osoba koja 

cijeni sitne životne luksuze i poštuje dizajn.” 

David je uspio u onome što je naumio ostvariti sa svojim 

trosobnim gradskim utočištem, iako nije bilo lako pronaći 

savršenu lokaciju koja će ispuniti brojne zadane kriterije. 

“Stan se ne kupuje svaki dan i ovo je bila moja velika 

životna investicija, tako da sam želio nešto posebno. 

Kriteriji su bili sljedeći: centralna pozicija, veliki balkon ili 

terasa, parkirališno mjesto ili garaža, te stan koji je obrađen 

na vrlo funkcionalan način.” Nakon više od šest 

mjeseci potrage, David je pronašao svoj stan iz snova 

u ekskluzivnom dijelu Šalate, koji ispunjava sve njegove 

potrebe. Jedan od najdojmljivijih aspekata toga stana 

su njegove vanjske površine, koje obuhvaćaju i balkon i 

razbarušenu travnatu terasu, i koje te natjeraju da zaboraviš 

da se nalaziš u centru grada. Ova jedinstvena karakteristika 

je inspirirala veliki dio njegove kreativne vizije. 

Dok je namještaj u kombinaciji crne, bijele i sive boje, 

a duboka čokoladna boja zidova pretvara svaku prostoriju 

u zasebnu cjelinu, upravo zeleni naglasci podižu 

ukupnu atmosferu i čine ju svježijom i življom. 

Savršen primjer ovakvog načela su hirovite zidne tapete 

s travnatim uzorkom u hodniku. “U posljednjih nekoliko 

godina, zidne se tapete uvelike vraćaju u dizajn interijera, 

te sam došao na ideju da to iskoristim na dva različita 

načina. U hodniku sam koristio tapete s travnjakom na 

bijeloj pozadini, što je jedna zaigrana ideja koja koketira 

sa zelenom travom na površini koja se vidi iz dnevnog 

boravka. Koristim ovu zelenu boju po cijelom stanu kao 

četvrtu opciju boje koja donosi vanjsko zelenilo u unutrašnjost 

stana.”

Hodnik nije jedino mjesto koje se koristi ovim trendom. 

Cijeli zid glavne spavaće sobe je prekriven prizorima Pariza 

noću kakav se vidi s Eiffelova tornja. “Volim Pariz i 

želio sam zaspati gledajući Pariz noću. Moja prijateljica, 

grafička dizajnerica Maja Preglej, to je dizajnirala i producirala 

za mene u Zagrebu.” 

Dok moderne metode katkad mogu rezultirati hladnim 

i asketskim prizorima, ovdje su moderne linije kombinirane 

s plišanim tkaninama, toplim bojama i zaigranim 

detaljima. U blagovaonici možemo naći okrugli stol od 

crnog stakla i inoksa kako stoji na kružnom tepihu Flokati 

inspiriranom sedamdesetim godinama. Blizu kuhinjskog 

prozora je gipsano Adonisovo poprsje pokraj ekskluzivnog 

izdanja staklenog mozaika boce Absolute Vodka i 

starinskog mlinca za kavu. Umjesto da koristi tradicionalni 

mramor ili podlogu od linoleuma na pultu, David se 

odlučio za tvrdi aluminijski materijal koji je otporan na toplinu 

i pritisak, i koji je fotografija Flokati tepiha na kojem 

je crni stakleni stol za blagovanje čime na jedan zabavan 

način povezuje ove dvije cjeline. Slika dobivena u 

potpunosti digitalnom tehnikom i ispisana na slikarskom 

platnu Željka Borčića, zauzima čitavi zid u dnevnom boravku. 

“Kad bih gledao platna većeg formata, koja mi 

se sviđaju, njihova snaga me opčinjala. Želio sam stvoriti 

taj osjećaj i u svome stanu. To nije obična slika na zidu, 

to je centralni element dnevne sobe dodatno istaknut 

zlatnom bojom zida na kojemu stoji, koji odmah zaokupi 

pažnju svojom veličinom, snagom i jedinstvenim, kaoti-

čnim univerzumom.” Soba za goste, koja isto tako služi i 

kao kućni ured, ima tri manje slike istog umjetnika. Ipak, 

Davidov pristup unutrašnjem dizajnu se ne ograničava 

samo na stil. “Život je htio da sam proputovao svijet i tako 

skupio mnogo sitnica koje su moja osobna, jedinstvena 

memorabilija. Neki opet antikni predmeti su pripadali 

mojoj pokojnoj baki koja je bila vrlo važna u mom životu, 

a oni također umnogome pridonose ukupnoj atmosferi. 

Tako sam okružen osobnim uspomenama koje će me 

podsjećati na ljude, mjesta i važne pouke u zivotu koje 

ne želim zaboraviti.” 

Ovaj stan pruža mnogo više od samog izgleda i osjećaja 

budući da je funkcionalno dizajniran i opremljen najnovijim 

napravama. “To je tzv. inteligentna kuća”, ističe 

David. Svjetla i rolete se mogu regulirati pomoću kućišta 

u dnevnom boravku, kao i toplina poda u kupaonici, 

dok se klima-uređaj može uključiti jednostavnom tekstualnom 

porukom s mobitela. Čak je i kamin električan i 

aktivira se daljinskim upravljačem. 

Kombiniranje umjetnosti, udobnosti i funkcionalnosti je 

nešto što se po Davidu podrazumijeva samo po sebi, 

a svoje istrenirano oko može zahvaliti svojoj užurbanoj 

karijeri. “Mogu reći da mi je rad u tako konkurentoj industriji 

kao što je duhanska, gdje jedan mali detalj može 

odlučiti o svemu, izoštrio osjetila i pažnju prema grafici, 

industrijskom i unutrašnjem dizajnu.” Potpuno zasluženo, 

nakon napornog radnog dana, David može doći kući i 

biti siguran da su svi elementi na svome mjestu.

A Youthful 

Apartment 

with Plenty 

of Style 

While Modern can sometimes translate into 

cold and austere, in apartment of David Flam, 

one of directors of TDR, modern lines come 

together with plush fabrics, warm colors and 

playful touches 

It’s chic, even the stainless steel shoehorn is shaped 

like a Manolo Blahnik stiletto and the green apples on 

the dining room table look like a Rene Magritte sculpture. 

But such style comes natural to David Flam. He 

recently moved back to his hometown of Zagreb from 

Dream home 

Munich and designed his apartment with every detail 

in mind. “An apartment is said to be the face of the 

owner,” remarks Flam, “it’s a very personal place that 

reflects you and gives away what kind of person you 

are. I hope my apartment reflects who I am - a very social 

person who appreciates small luxuries in life and respects 

design.” 

David has achieved what he set out to do in his threebedroom, 

city retreat. Though it wasn’t easy to find the 

perfect space and he had many criteria that had to be 

met. “You don’t buy an apartment every day and this 

was a big investment in my life so I wanted something 

special. The criteria were: central position, large balcony 

or terrace, parking place or garage and the apartment 

had to be cut in a functional way.” 6-months later 

Flam found his dream apartment in the exclusive Šalata 

neighborhood that fit all his needs. One of the most impressive 

features are the outside areas, fashioned with 

both a balcony and sprawling lawn terrace making it 

easy to forget you’re in the city centre. It was this unique 

feature that inspired much of his creative vision. While 

combining furniture in black, white and grey colors, 

deep chocolate paint coats selected walls turning a 

single room into a statement; but it’s the green accents 

which lift the atmosphere making it fresh and alive. 

A perfect example of this is the whimsical grass print 

wallpaper in the hallway. “In the last few years I’ve noticed 

wallpaper making a big comeback in interior de- 

77

Duboka čokoladna boja zidova pretvara svaku 

prostoriju u zasebnu cjelinu / Deep chocolate 

paint coats selected walls turning a single room 

into a statement 

sign and I had an idea to use it in two different ways. In 

the hall I used grass print paper, which is a playful idea 

to interact with the green grass on the terrace that is visible 

from the living room. I use this grass color throughout 

the apartment as the fourth color element, which brings 

the outside greenery - inside.” 

The hallway isn’t the only place that takes advantage 

of this trend. In the master bedroom an entire wall is 

draped with the view of Paris at night as seen from the 

Eiffel Tower. “I simply love Paris and wanted to fall asleep 

while watching Paris by night. A friend of mine, graphic 

designer Maja Preglej designed it and produced it for 

me in Zagreb.” 

While Modern can sometimes translate into cold and 

austere, here modern lines come together with plush 

fabrics, warm colors and playful touches. In the dining 

area a round, black-glass and stainless steel table rests 

above a circular, 70’s inspired shag rug. On the kitchen 

windowsill sits a plaster bust of Adonis beside a limited 

edition, glass mosaic Absolute Vodka bottle and coffee 

grinder. Rather than using a traditional marble or linoleum 

counter-top, David used a smooth, temperature 

and pressure resistant material that is photograph of the 

Flokati carpet which find it’s place below black glass 

table. A large scale, fine art painting by Željko Borčić 

commands an entire wall in the living room. “When 

viewing large works on canvass I always felt a monumental, 

awe-struck feeling within me. I wanted to create 

that feeling here, too. It’s not just a painting on the

wall, it catches your eyes instantly with its size, strength 

and unique, chaotic universe.” The guest room, which 

also functions as a home office, has three smaller works 

by the same artist. However, David’s approach to interior 

design doesn’t limit itself to mere style alone. “I 

have traveled a lot around the world and have brought 

back many things – my own unique memorabilia. Some 

pieces belonged to my late Grandmother who was 

very important to me, so these also make up much of 

the atmosphere. I like to be surrounded with personal 

memorabilia to remember the people, places and important 

lessons in life.” 

But there is more to this apartment than just the look 

and feel, it’s also functionally designed and equipped 

with the latest gadgets. “It’s the so-called ‘intelligent 

house,’ ” boasts David. You can control the light and 

shades from one display-box in the living room, program 

the heating in the bathroom floor, or turn on the 

air-conditioner with a text message from your mobile 

phone. Even the fireplace is electrical and is activated 

by remote controle.. 

Combining art, comfort and function is second nature 

to David, owing much of his eye to his fastpaced career. 

“I can say that working in such a competitive industry, 

where just a little accent can make a world of difference, 

has sharpened my senses and attention towards 

graphic, industrial and interior design.” Deservedly, after 

a hard day’s work David can come home and rest 

assured that all the elements are in the right place.

Ulazna vrata - ljepota izvana, 

sigurnost iznutra 

Bila ona masivna, moderna, tradicionalna, drvena, PVC ili aluminijska, svaka ulazna vrata 

imaju svoje prednosti, ali i nedostatke, a kod njihova odabira na prvom bi mjestu trebala biti 

njihova funkcionalnost; no nikako ne treba zaboraviti na činjenicu da ulazna vrata trebaju 

odgovarati cjelokupnom izgledu kuće, odnosno stilu kojem nekretnina i njezin okoliš naginju 

Baš kao i pročelje kuće, i ulazna vrata uvelike pridonose 

cjelokupnom dojmu koji vanjština kuće 

ostavlja. Ulazna vrata iskazuju dobrodošlicu svima 

koji ulaze u kuću, no osim toga imaju još jednu 

važnu ulogu – sigurnost. Kvalitetna vrata zaštitit će 

svaki dom, bilo da se radi o eventualnom pokušaju provale 

ili o nepovoljnim vremenskim uvjetima. Dobro izrađena 

vrata, osim estetske uloge, imaju i vrlo važnu ulogu 

kad je u pitanju ekonomičnost jer izoliraju životni prostor 

te sprječavaju gubitak toplinske energije zimi, dok kod 

uporabe rashladnih uređaja u toplijim mjesecima osigu-

njezin okoliš naginju. 

Drvo kao najstariji i vizualno najtopliji materijal 

Za izradu stolarije, drvo se koristi od najranije povijesti, po-

najprije zbog svojih izolacijskih svojstava, ali i činjenice da 

je lako dostupna sirovina. Kvalitetno drvo je relativno dugovječno 

i postojano, a ako se pravilno održava, prilično 

je otporno na sve vremenske uvjete. U estetskom smislu, 

drvena ulazna vrata nemaju premca jer djeluju toplo, 

ugodno i, što je najvažnije, prirodno. Ipak, ulazna vrata 

izrađena od drveta imaju brojne nedostatke. Na prvome 

mjestu je upravo održavanje. Drvena vrata treba redovito 

njegovati kvalitetnim bojama, a barem svake dvije 

godine ih je potrebno temeljito izbrusiti i nanijeti novi sloj 

boje. Iako je drvo dobar izolator, niske i visoke temperature 

s godinama na njega znaju ostaviti negativne posljedice. 

Stručnjaci rado koriste izraz da drvo “radi”, što znači 

da se širi ili sužava pod utjecajem visokih, odnosno niskih 

temperatura. To često zna rezultirati deformacijama, 

zbog čega nakon nekog vremena vrata više ne sjedaju 

na ovratnik kako treba, čime uvelike gube na izolacijskim 

svojstvima. Bez obzira na neke loše strane, drvena ulazna 

vrata su i danas jednako popularna i nezamjenjiva kod 

adaptacija starina ili novoizgrađenih tradicionalnih kamenih 

kuća te kod svih nekretnina na kojima dominira 

prirodan izgled. 

PVC - stolarija novog doba 

Zahvaljujući izvrsnim mehaničkim i izolacijskim svojstvima i 

načinu izrade, danas je PVC najtraženiji materijal kada je 

stolarija u pitanju. Točnije, više od 60 posto svjetske proizvodnje 

stolarije svodi se upravo na onu od PVC-a. Polivinil 

klorid je umjetni materijal koji se proizvodi od prirodnih 

sirovina nafte i soli, a stolarija se izrađuje po sustavu zračnih 

komora od kojih svaka ima svoju izolacijsku namjenu. 

Ulazna vrata od PVC materijala su postojana na sve vremenske 

i klimatske uvjete, ne stare, ne zahtijevaju nikakvo 

dodatno održavanje osim redovitog pranja i čišćenja od 

prašine, a kad je toplinska i zvučna izolacija u pitanju, bez 

sumnje su najbolji izbor. Kad se govori o estetici i osobnom 

stilu, PVC vrata nude još jednu veliku prednost. Naime, 

možete ih sami osmisliti – dovoljno je uzeti papir, olovku 

i ravnalo i nacrtati vrata po vlastitim idejama. Rapored 

stakala, broj pregrada, boju vrata, sve možete osmisliti 

baš onako kako sami želite. Tako ćete iz radionice dobiti 

ulazna vrata iz snova. Vrata od PVC materijala su dostupna 

u svim bojama, u najrazličitijim uzorcima koji vrlo vjerno 

oponašaju izgled pravog drveta, a danas se prodaju 

po vrlo pristupačnim i povoljnim cijenama. S obzirom da 

su trajna i da je gubitak energije minimalan, PVC vrata 

su svakako najekonomičniji izbor, a tu je i osiguran servis 

proizvođača. 

Aluminij 

Ulazna vrata od aluminija imaju gotovo sve prednosti kao 

i PVC vrata, no u pravilu su nešto skuplja. Također su trajna 

i postojana na sve vremenske uvjete, a aluminij je izrazito 

pogodan izbor za novogradnju i nekretnine na kojima 

dominira moderniji stil. Ovisno o boji ulaznih vrata, aluminij 

se može sasvim dobro uklopiti i na starijim nekretninama. 

Nedostaci? Ako se izuzme nešto viša cijena, zapravo ih i 

nema. Ulazna aluminijska vrata izrađuju se u varijantama 

sa ili bez termičkog mosta (plastični umetak uzduž profila 

čija je svrha odvajanje vanjskog od unutarnjeg dijela 

profila kako bi se izbjegla kondenzacija), a jednako kao i 

PVC vrata, dostupna su u različitim bojama. Također, va- 

Za modernu novogradnju svakako odaberite aluminij 

ili PVC / For a modern building, make sure to pick 

aluminium or PVC 

žno je napomenuti da kod mnogih proizvođača odabir 

boje ne utječe na cijenu proizvoda. 

Za što se odlučiti? 

Jasno, sigurnost i postojanost su najvažniji elementi, ali 

estetika mora biti jednako bitna. Činjenica je da će na 

tipiziranoj kamenoj kući najbolje odgovarati drvo, pa 

bez obzira na potrebno održavanje, nema sumnje da je 

kod takvih nekretnina drvo dobar izbor jer masivna hrastova 

ili smrekova vrata zaista daju dušu kamenoj kući. 

U Hrvatskom primorju čak postoje neki gradovi u kojima 

je u starim jezgrama zabranjeno postavljanje PVC i aluminijske 

stolarije da bi se očuvala autentičnost. Ulazna 

vrata od PVC materijala odlično oponašaju pravo drvo, 

ali jednako dobro se uklapaju na modernim objektima, 

pružajući maksimalnu sigurnost i izolaciju, i, što je jednako 

važno, nemaju rok trajanja. Aluminij jest skuplji, no teško 

je zamisliti nekakav moderan objekt bez besprijekornih 

ulaznih vrata, dakle odabir bi trebao biti jednostavan. 

Ako vaša kuća naginje tradicionalnom stilu, odlučite se 

za drvo ili PVC stolariju u nekom prirodnom dekoru, a 

za modernu novogradnju svakako odaberite aluminij 

ili PVC, i originalnim odabirom naglasite karakter svoje 

kuće i ugodnu, toplu dobrodošlicu svima koji će vas posjećivati.

The Entrance Door - 

Beauty from the Outside, 

Safety from the Inside 

Files will keep being your good friends for a while longer because everything the IRS 

requires to determine your taxes, or to liberate you from those same taxes, will have 

to be supported by you with a large pile of papers – from the ownership transfer 

certificate to proof that you are married/single, have/don’t have kids, own/don’t own 

any other real estates... The great comfort is that this is truly the last “round” of paperwork 

that awaits you

Ako vaša kuća naginje tradicionalnom 

stilu, odlučite se za drvo ili PVC 

stolariju / If your house tends to be 

more traditional, choose wood or 

PVC joinery

Just like the facade of the house, the entrance door 

also contribute quite a lot to the overall impression 

that the outside of the house achieves. The entrance 

door express the welcome to all those who 

enter the house, but they also carry another important 

aspect – safety. Quality doors will protect any house, 

whether from a possible burglary attempt or from unfavourable 

weather conditions. Competently constructed 

doors, besides its aesthetical function, also have a lot 

to do with the economical aspect because they isolate 

the living space and prevent the loss of heat energy during 

winter, as well as ensure the presence of pleasant 

cooler air in a room while using air conditioning during 

the warmer months. Regardless of whether they’re massive, 

modern, traditional, wooden, PVC or aluminium, all 

entrance doors have some advantages and shortcomings, 

but the one aspect that should always come first 

while choosing them is their functionality; however, you 

also shouldn’t forget the fact that the entrance door 

should be in harmony with the overall look of the house, 

as well as the style that the real estate and the environment 

lean towards. 

Wood as the Oldest and Visually Warmest Material 

When it comes to constructing joinery, wood has been 

used since the earliest days of history, primarily due to 

its isolation characteristics, but also because it’s a very 

accessible material. Quality wood is relatively long-term 

and durable, and if it’s correctly maintained, it’s pretty 

resistant to various weather circumstances. Aesthetically 

speaking, wooden entrance door have no competition 

due to their impression of warmth, comfort and, 

more important than anything, sense of being natural. 

Still, entrance doors made from wood have numerous 

shortcomings. The first of those shortcomings would be 

the maintenance process. Wooden doors must be regularly 

maintained with quality paint, and it is necessary to 

do a thorough grinding job and submit a fresh coating 

of paint at least every two years. Although wood is a 

good enough isolator, low and high temperatures will 

still find a way to inscribe negative consequences on it 

over the years. Experts like to say that wood is “working”, 

which means that it’s narrowing or widening under the 

influence of low or high temperatures. That often results 

in deformations, which causes their positioning to get 

messed up, and that affects their isolation characteristics. 

Regardless of some of these shortcomings, wooden 

entrance doors are still just as popular and irreplaceable 

when adapting old houses or building new traditionalstyle 

stone houses, as well as with all real estates that are 

dominated by a more natural look. 

PVC – Joinery of the New Age 

Thanks to excellent mechanical and isolation characteristics 

and the way it is produced, PVC stands before 

us as the most wanted material when it comes to joinery. 

To be more precise, over 60 percent of the world’s 

joinery production is made from PVC. Polyvinyl chloride 

is an artificial material that is produced of natural materials 

like oil and salt, and joinery is constructed thanks to 

a system of aerial chambers, all of which have their isolation 

purpose. Entrance doors out of PVC material are 

resistant to all weather and climate circumstances, they

do not age, do not demand any extra-maintenance besides 

regular washing and dust cleaning, and there is no 

doubt that they represent the best choice when it comes 

to heat and sound isolation. When it comes to aesthetics 

and personal style, PVC doors offer one more large 

advantage. It is revealed in a fact that you can design 

them yourself – all you have to do is grab a pencil, a 

piece of paper and a ruler, and draw the door by following 

your own ideas. Glass arrangement, number of 

partitions, door paint – you can design all these things 

just the way you want to. In that way, your dream doorway 

will come straight from your workshop. Doors from 

PVC material are accessible in all colours, with most diverse 

samples that very faithfully replicate the look of real 

wood, and they are sold by very accessible and favourable 

prices. Considering their durability and the fact that 

the loss of energy is minimal, PVC doors are certainly the 

most economical choice, and it’s worth mentioning that 

the manufacturers ensure the repair service. 

Aluminium 

Entrance doors from aluminium have almost all the advantages 

as the PVC doors, but they are usually a bit 

more expensive. They are also durable and resistant to 

all weather circumstances, and aluminium is a very convenient 

material for new buildings and those real estates 

that are dominated by a somewhat more modern style. 

Depending on the colour of the entry door, aluminium 

can fit into older real estates just fine. Shortcomings? If 

we ignore the slightly higher price, there really aren’t any 

left. Entry aluminium doors can be built with or without a 

thermal bridge (a plastic insert alongside the profile, the 

purpose of which is to separate the profile’s outside from 

its inside in order to prevent condensation), and just like 

the PVC door, they can be bought in different colours. 

It’s also important to mention that many manufacturers 

do not change their price depending on the colour you 

choose. 

What Do You Decide On? 

It’s a given that safety and durability are the most important 

elements, but aesthetics has to be just as important. 

It’s normal that your typical stone house is best suited 

for wood, so regardless of the necessary maintenance 

job, there is no doubt that wood agrees with those types 

of real estates the best because massive oak or juniper 

doorway truly gives soul to a stone house. At the Croatian 

coast, there are even some towns where setting up PVC 

or aluminium joinery in old town centres is banned in order 

to preserve authenticity. Entry doors from PVC make 

an excellent imitation of real wood, but they adjust just 

as good to modern objects by providing them with maximum 

safety and isolation, and what’s just as important, 

they don’t have an expiration date. Aluminium is more 

expensive, but it’s hard to imagine a modern object of 

sorts without impeccable entrance doors, which should 

make your choice a lot easier. If your house tends to be 

more traditional, choose wood or PVC joinery in a natural 

décor, and for a modern building, make sure to pick 

aluminium or PVC and achieve the originality that emphasizes 

the character of your house, as well as offers 

a warm, pleasant welcome to everyone that comes to 

visit you.

Tepih - vjeèna moda i 

neodoljiva toplina 

Bilo da se radi o modernom tepihu izrađenom od kvalitetnih i postojanih umjetnih materijala, 

o skupocjenom tradicionalnom tepihu iz neke istočne zemlje ili, pak, o komadu 

medvjeđeg krzna u nekoj planinskoj kući, jedno je sigurno – tepisi su uvijek u modi 

Piše: Aleksandar Vrtariæ

U 

svijetu bajki i legendi drevne književnosti, tepisi 

se vezuju uz letenje i čarobna putovanja, a 

prvi poznati tepih datira iz petog stoljeća prije 

Kristova rođenja – 1949. godine u dolini Pazyrik, 

na sibirskom području, zaleđenog ga je pronašao arheolog 

Sergej Ivanovič Rudenko. Ipak, uz tepihe se najčešće 

vezuju istočne zemlje, poput Irana, Egipta, Sirije, 

Nepala i Pakistana. Danas tepih može biti tek obična 

dekorativna konfekcijska prostirka koja se može kupiti 

po povoljnoj cijeni, može poslužiti kao toplinski i zvučni 

izolator, no jednako tako, tepih u prostoriju može donijeti 

dašak luksuza kao unikatan i vrijedan umjetnički 

predmet. Bilo da se radi o modernom tepihu izrađenom 

od kvalitetnih i postojanih umjetnih materijala, kao što 

su vlakna polipropilena, poliamida ili poliestera, o skupocjenom 

tradicionalnom tepihu iz neke istočne zemlje 

ili, pak, o komadu medvjeđeg krzna u nekoj planinskoj 

kući, jedno je sigurno – tepisi su uvijek u modi. Tepisi se 

uvelike razlikuju po kvaliteti, odnosno po vrijednosti habanja 

i komfora, a u svakoj specijaliziranoj prodavonici 

mogu se pronaći najrazličitiji proizvodi, od onih antistatičnih 

i antialergijskih, ručno rađenih s pripadajućom 

deklaracijom, onih s visokim izolacijskim svojstvima, pa 

čak do onih namijenjenim vlažnim prostorijama. 

Modeli za svačiji ukus 

Tepisi izrađeni od umjetnih vlakana, osim onih vunenih, 

definitivno spadaju u kategoriju najpopularnijih tepiha, 

kako iz estetskih, tako i iz praktičnih razloga. Tepisi od 

umjetnih vlakana se lako održavaju, rijetko izazivaju 

alergije, a otporni su na habanje zbog čega su pogodni 

za prostorije u kojima se često kreće više osoba. Ovakvi 

tepisi su vrlo dobri toplinski i zvučni izolatori, no istodobno 

mogu biti itekako atraktivni dekorativni elementi 

koji će naglasiti toplinu prostorije te podignuti cjelokupnu 

atmosferu. Vuneni tepisi vrijede za visokoizdržljive, 

a osim toga su snažni termički izolatori te spadaju u kategoriju 

ekoloških tepiha. U dekorativnom smislu, vuneni 

tepisi također imaju znatnu vrijednost, no imaju i neke 

nedostatke. Naime, vuneni tepisi su često debeli i teški 

zbog čega su idealna podloga za skupljanje prašine, ali 

i grinja. Također, nisu pogodni za osobe koje su sklone 

alergijama na životinjsku dlaku. Iako se relativno lako 

mogu očistiti usisavanjem, tijekom dužega vremenskog 

razdoblja mogu skupiti puno prašine, a nakon “mokrog” 

čišćenja mogu poprimiti i dugo zadržati neugodan miris, 

stoga je nužno redovito čišćenje. No, budući da vu-

Osim 

vunenih 

i tepiha 

od sintetskihvlakana, 

danas su 

gotovo jednako 

popularni tepisi i 

dekorativne prostirke 

od trske i bambusa koji 

se izrađuju strojnim uvezivanjem 

tankih lamela. Tepisi od lamela 

trske i bambusa se odlično uklapaju u sve prostore 

u kojima dominira pomalo orijentalni stil, no jednako 

dobro izgledaju i kada se kombiniraju s modernim namještajem 

i trenutačno popularnom minimalističkom 

pristupu kod uređivanja i opremanja prostora. Ovakvi 

modeli su pogodni za sve prostorije jer se vrlo lako održavaju. 

Zahvaljujući ravnoj i relativno glatkoj površini, 

tepisi od bambusa i trske ne skupljaju i ne talože prašinu, 

lagani su i pa ih je moguće iznijeti vani i dobro protresti, 

lako se usisavaju, a odlično podnose i čiščenje 

vlažnim krpama. U posljednje vrijeme često se mogu 

pronaći i podloge od kokosovih vlakana koje su vrlo 

atraktivne, no često su premazane pesticidima pa prije 

kupnje valja dobro pogledati deklaraciju i pripaziti da 

proizvođač udovolja svim ekološkim zahtjevima.

U svijetu bajki – ručno tkani tepisi 

S obzirom da je za samo jedan četvorni metar 

ručno tkanog tepiha potrebno nekoliko tjedana 

rada, pa čak i do dvije godine kada su u pitanju 

višebojni tepisi, nije ni čudno da oni postižu najveće 

cijene i znače vrhunac luksuza. Ručno tkani 

tepisi dostupni su samo najimućnijima, a ovisno o 

tipu, načinu izrade i materijalu, cijene im se kreću 

do nekoliko desetaka tisuća eura. Ručno tkani tepisi 

donose ugođaje iz egzotičnih zemalja, a ornamenti 

i detalji na njima odraz su drevne tradicije 

iz zemalja poput Irana, Indije, Afganistana, Turske, 

Kazahstana i mnogih drugih. Brojne su tehnike tkanja 

i pletenja, a detalji su često apstraktni ili, pak, 

vjerno prenose prizore iz biljnog i životinjskog svijeta 

istočnih zemalja. Skupocjeni ukras koji će utopliti 

vaš dom? Nikako! Ručno tkani tepisi su mnogo 

više od toga. Oni su prava umjetnička djela koja 

imaju iznimno veliku vrijednost. Odlučite li se za kupnju 

ručno tkanog tepiha, postavite ga na vidljivo 

mjesto i nikako nemojte stavljati namještaj preko 

njega kako biste izbjegli moguća oštećenja. 

Održavanje i čišćenje tepiha 

Bez obzira je li u pitanju tepih od sintetičkih vlakana, 

onaj od kokosovih vlakana ili debeli vuneni 

tepih, svi oni zahtijevaju održavanje. Osim prašine, 

veliki problem su i grinje koje se rado zavlače pod 

tepihe i u njih, jednako kao i u mnoge ležajeve i 

sjedaće garniture. Prašina i grinje se najbolje tretiraju 

čestim i temeljitim usisavanjem, a definitivno 

će najbolje rezultate dati usisavači koji umjesto 

klasičnih filtar vrećica koriste vodu koja onemogućava 

eventualno vraćanje prašine u prostoriju. 

Nakon usisavanja, voda se jednostavno odlije u 

odvod, a spremnik se lako opere. Uz redovito usisavanje 

svaki će tepih biti čist i uredan, no ne zaboravite 

da je jednako važno i održavanje donje 

strane tepiha.

Carpet - Eternal Fashion 

and Irresistible Warmth 

Whether we’re talking about a modern carpet 

made out of quality and lasting artificial 

materials, an expensive traditional rug 

from an Eastern country, or maybe a piece 

of bear fur in a house on a mountain, one 

thing is for sure – carpets never go out of 

style

In a world 

of fairytales 

and legends 

from ancient literature, 

carpets have always 

been associated with flying 

and magical voyages, while the 

first familiar carpet goes back five centuries 

before Christ was born – in Pazyrik 

Valley near Siberia in 1949, archaeologist 

Sergey Ivanovich Rudenko discovered it in frozen 

condition. However, carpets are still primarily connected 

to Eastern countries like Iran, Egypt, Syria, Nepal and Pakistan. 

These days, a carpet can be nothing more than 

an ordinary decorative ready-made cover that can be 

bought for a favourable price, it can serve as a heat and 

sound isolator, but it can also bring a breath of luxury into 

90 

a room as a unique and valuable 

work of art. Whether 

we’re talking about a modern 

carpet made out of quality 

and lasting artificial materials, 

such as fabrics like polypropylene, 

polyamide or polyester, or an expensive 

traditional rug from an Eastern 

country, or maybe a piece of bear 

fur in a house on a mountain, one thing 

is for sure – carpets never go out of style. 

Carpets have a great deal of variation 

when it comes to their quality or the value of 

scuffing and comfort, and every specialized 

store features products of utmost diversity, from 

those that are antistatic and anti-allergic, handmade 

with the accompanying declaration, that 

carry strong isolation characteristics, all the way to 

those that are aimed to particularly damp rooms. 

Models for Everyone’s Taste 

Carpets made out of artificial fabrics, besides those 

made out of wool, definitely fall into the category of most 

popular carpets, for both aesthetical and practical reasons. 

Artificial-fabric carpets are easy to maintain, they 

rarely provoke allergies and they’re resistant to scuffing, 

which makes them convenient for rooms that have a 

lot of people constantly moving around. These types of 

carpets are very good heat and sound isolators, but they

can simultaneously serve as extremely attractive decorative 

elements that emphasize the warmth of the room 

and bring the atmosphere to a whole new level. Wool 

carpets are regarded as highly durable, and they’re 

also strong thermal isolators that fall into the category 

of ecological carpets. As far as the decorative dimension 

goes, wool carpets also have plenty of value, but 

there are some flaws that come with them. Wool carpets 

are often very thick and heavy, which makes them 

the ideal surface for collecting dust and mites. They are 

also not very convenient for people that have the tendency 

to be allergic to animal hair. Although they can 

be cleaned by vacuuming relatively easily, they can 

collect a lot of dust during a prolonged period of time, 

while “wet” cleaning can provide them with an uncomfortable 

odour for quite some time, which makes regular 

cleaning a necessity. However, due to the fact that 

wool carpets have a warm and pleasant effect, some 

flaws ought to be forgiven. Besides wool carpets and 

those made from synthetic fabrics, what’s almost just 

as popular today are carpets and decorative covers 

made of cane and bamboo, and they are produced 

by mechanical embroidery of thin laminas. Carpets 

of cane and bamboo laminas excellently adjust to all 

spaces that are dominated by a slightly oriental style, 

but they look just as good even when they’re combined 

with modern furniture and the currently popular minimalist 

approach to decorating and furnishing space. 

These models are very convenient to all rooms because 

they are maintained very easily. Thanks to a straight 

and relatively smooth surface, bamboo and cane carpets 

don’t collect or hold on to dust, are very light and 

can be taken outside and simply given a good shake; 

they are also easily vacuumed, and they are very good 

at handling being cleaned with wet mops. It’s also 

been easy lately to find surfaces made of coconut fabrics 

that are very attractive, but they are often coated 

with pesticides, so before you decide on buying them, 

make sure to take a close look of the declaration to be 

certain that the manufacturer meets all the ecological 

conditions.

In the World of Fairytales – Hand-Woven Carpets 

Considering the fact that one square metre of a handwoven 

carpet requires several weeks of work, which leads 

to as much time as two years if we’re talking about multicoloured 

carpets, it is no wonder that they achieve the 

highest prices and stand for the peak of luxury. Hand-woven 

carpets are accessible only to the wealthiest among 

us, and depending on the type, method of production 

and the material, their prices are reaching the heights of 

several dozens thousands of euros. Hand-woven carpets 

bring the ambience of exotic countries, and their ornaments 

and details reflect ancient traditions of countries 

like Iran, India, Afghanistan, Turkey, Kazakhstan etc. There 

are numerous techniques of weaving and knitting, and 

their details are often abstract or faithfully transmit scenes 

from the flora and fauna of Eastern countries. Just an expensive 

decoration that will bring warmth to your home? 

Not at all! Hand-woven carpets are much more than 

that. They are genuine works of art that have a remarkably 

high value. If you decide on buying a hand-woven 

carpet, position it to a visible place and don’t put any 

furniture over it to avoid any possible damage. 

Maintaining and Cleaning a Carpet 

Regardless of whether we’re talking about a carpet 

made of synthetic fabrics, coconut fabrics or a thick wool 

carpet, they all demand to be maintained. Besides dust, 

mites also represent a big problem because they like to 

crawl under the carpets as well as inside them, similar 

to the way they often invade beds and seating ensembles. 

Dust and mites are best prevented by regular and 

thorough vacuuming, and the absolute best results are 

guaranteed by vacuum cleaners that don’t use classic 

filter bags, but rather use water that makes it impossible 

for dust to return into the room. After the vacuuming, 

you simply pour the water into the drain, while the tank 

can be cleaned very easily. If it is regularly vacuumed, 

any carpet is bound to be clean and tidy, but don’t forget 

that it is just as important to maintain the lower side 

of the carpet.

Savršena organizacija / A perfect organisiation 

Pametna organizacija 

- preduvjet ugodnog 

stanovanja 

Bez obzira koliko malen bio vaš stambeni prostor, uz malo truda i dobre organizacije 

može ga se učiniti prostranijim i ugodnijim za život. Rješenje je zapravo vrlo jednostavno 

– potrebno je samo svakom predmetu pronaći odgovarajuće mjesto i njega se držati 

Piše: Aleksandar Vrtariæ Foto: Ikea, Casa 

Usprkos manjoj površini, manji stambeni prostori su 

često vrlo atraktivni jer djeluju simpatično i toplo, 

te ostavljaju ugodan i intiman dojam. Ipak, često 

se dogodi da nakon nekog vremena takvi prostori 

postanu skučeni i pretrpani jer stvari nisu tamo gdje bi 

trebale biti. Manji stanovi možda “pate” od malog dnevnog 

boravka, premale kuhinje ili naizgled tijesne i skučene 

kupaonice, no uz malo truda se sve to može dovesti u 

red, pa čak tridesetak četvornih metara može biti itekako 

udobno ako se prostor učinkovito iskoristi. Dobra i pametna 

organizacija od presudne je važnosti za ugodno stanovanje 

(bez obzira jesu li u pitanju manji ili veći stambeni 

prostori), a ključ pametne organizacije je zapravo vrlo 

jednostavan – potrebno je samo staviti svaki predmet na 

svoje mjesto. No, prije nego organizacija i preokretanje 

uopće počnu, potrebno je dobro pregledati sve stvari, 

odvagnuti što je potrebno, a stare i beskorisne predmete 

bez žaljenja valja baciti. 

Korak po korak 

Pritom je vrlo važno radi li se o samačkom stanu, dijeli li 

stambeni prostor više osoba ili je, pak, riječ o ljubavnom 

gnijezdu za dva partnera, jer svaki član kućanstva mora 

imati svoj kutak u stanu, koji će biti organiziran po njegovim 

željama. Svatko će se lakše i jednostavnije snaći u 

kutku koji je uređen po njegovim željama, pa ako imate 

djecu, svakako poštujte i njihove želje. U dnevnom boravku, 

uz ukućane, često borave i gosti, pa ta prostorija 

spada u “najprometnije”. U dnevnom boravku se često 

mogu vidjeti predmeti koji ne mogu pronaći pravo mjesto, 

a regali kao da nikada nemaju dovoljno ladica. No, 

to se uz malo kreativnosti i dobre volje može riješiti. U prodavaonicama 

se prodaju razne dekorativne kutije i vrlo 

je lako odabrati uzorak koji će se lijepo uklopiti u ostatak 

prostorije, a možete se poigrati i s nijansama. Na primjer, 

u kutiji žute boje svoje mjesto mogu pronaći dokumenti, 

u kutiji oker boje mogu stajati rezervne žarulje, a u kutiju 

93

smeđe boje žena može držati svoje omiljene ogrlice. Tako 

ćete uvijek znati u kojoj kutiji se što nalazi, a sve skupa će 

izgledati toplo i dekorativno. 

Ormari često zauzimaju mnogo prostora, a većina njih, 

unatoč svojoj veličini, nije praktična i svrhovita. Provjerite 

kako je konstruiran vaš ormar, na kojoj visini je postavljena 

šipka, pa ako je moguće, podignite je koji centimetar, 

a ispod nje dodajte još jednu. Tako će na gornjoj ostati 

duži odjevni predmeti, dok se na donju mogu postaviti 

suknje ili kratke majice. Viseće police od jute ili lana su vrlo 

praktične jer su vrlo ergonomične, a u džepove se lako 

može odložiti donje rublje i ostali odjevni predmeti koji u 

ormaru nikako nisu mogli pronaći svoje mjesto. Na dno 

ormara mogu se staviti kutije, a u prodavaonicama se 

mogu pronaći dekorativne kutije s različitim natpisima pa 

ćete se uvijek lako snaći, a prostor u ormaru će biti optimalno 

iskorišten. Kad su u pitanju spavaće sobe, prostor 

ispod kreveta je uvijek prva meta za odlaganje suvišnih 

stvari. Naravno, nema ničeg lošeg u tome jer je u malim 

prostorima svaki centimetar važan. No, kutije nije potrebno 

skrivati. Puno ljepše rješenje su kutije od ratana koje 

djeluju dekorativno i ugodno, pa osim što će poslužiti za 

pospremanje posteljine i pokrivača, dodatno će ukrasiti i 

uljepšati krevet. 

Kuhinja i kupaonica 

Svatko tko barem povremeno vrijeme provodi za štednjakom, 

složit će se da u kuhinji prostora nikad nema 

dovoljno. Bila kuhinja manja ili veća, uvijek ćete se u njoj 

lakše snaći ako su svi predmeti nadohvat ruke, uredno i 

praktično posloženi. Borite se s manjkom mjesta u kuhinjskim 

elementima? Postavite dekorativne inoks nosače 

na zid i poredajte na njih sve što nije stalo u elemente. 

94 

Kutije nije potrebno skrivati / You don’t have to 

hide your boxes 

Iskoristite slobodni dio zida pa na njega postavite manju 

policu na kojoj svoje mjesto mogu pronaći lijepe staklenke 

sa začinima, ukrasne posude od prirodnih materijala u 

kojima mogu stajati suhe namirnice i tako ćete osloboditi 

kuhinjske elemente u kojima mogu stajati krupniji dijelovi 

posuđa. 

Koliko god mala bila, kupaonica se može lijepo organizirati. 

Odaberite lijepe viseće police s džepovima u koje 

ćete odložiti sve gelove za tuširanje, šampone, ulja, mlijeka, 

regeneratore i ostalu kozmetiku. Manje kutije od ratana 

ili bambusa izgledaju vrlo toplo, a odlična su “skladišta“ 

za sve mirisne soli, sapune, sredstva za čišćenje lica 

i slično. Dakle, uz minimum truda dobit ćete maksimalne 

rezultate. 

Ured na kotačima 

Danas gotovo da ne postoji kućanstvo bez računala, a 

stolovi za računala su velik problem jer su pravo leglo nereda. 

Dijelovi računala, CD-ovi s programima, papiri za 

štampač, hrpa kabela, sve to ne djeluje nimalo uredno 

i atraktivno. Rješenje je – mobilni stol! Ured na kotačima 

se lako može “preseliti” s jednog kraja prostorije na drugi, 

pa kad se računalo ne koristi može se odložiti u prvi slobodan 

kut gdje nikome neće smetati. Svakako odaberite 

mobilni stol koji ima puno ladica i polica, tako da vaš minijaturni 

ured uvijek bude uredan. Također, mobilni stolovi 

s panel pregradom su vrlo praktični jer vizualno odvajaju 

radni dio od ostatka prostorije. Čist i uredan radni stol ima 

izravan učinak na produktivnost, stoga ga nastojte lijepo 

organizirati i uvijek ga držati urednim. I, na kraju, uz malo 

rada i kreativnosti, dobit ćete ugodan i topao životni prostor 

u kojem ćete se u svakom trenutku osjećati nesputano 

i ugodno.

Smart 

Organization - 

A Prequisite 

for Comfortable 

Living 

Regardless of how small your residential space is, a little effort and good organization 

can make it more spacious and comfortable to live in. The solution is actually very 

simple – all it takes is finding the right spot for every object and stick by it

Interiors 

Despite their lack of size, smaller residential spaces 

can often be very attractive due to their 

likeability and warmth, as they leave a pleasant 

and intimate impression. However, it often 

occurs that such spaces become too small and overcrowded 

after a while because things are not placed 

at their right positions. Smaller apartments might “suffer” 

from an undersized living room, a too-small kitchen or a 

seemingly narrow and scanty bathroom, but a little effort 

can put it all in the right place, and even something 

that takes up only about thirty square metres can have 

all the comfort in the world if there is adequate usage 

of space. A good and smart organization is essential for 

comfortable living (regardless of whether we’re talking 

about smaller or bigger residential spaces), while the 

key to a smart organization is actually very simple – all it 

takes is finding the right spot for every object. But before 

the organization and repositioning even begin, you will 

need to go through all your things, decide on which of 

them are really necessary, and throw away the old and 

useless items without feeling a pinch of remorse. 

96 

Step by Step 

It makes a whole lot of difference whether we’re dealing 

with a bachelor apartment, whether more people 

share the residential space, or we’re talking about 

a love nest for two partners, as every member of the 

household must have his/her corner in the apartment 

that will be organized according to their wishes. Everyone 

will find it easier and more simple to know their way 

around a corner they decorated by their wishes, so if you 

have children, make sure you also respect some of their 

wishes. The living room is one of the “busier” sections of 

any apartment due to the fact that both the tenants 

and their guests spend a lot of time there. It’s very common 

for a living room to feature objects that just can’t 

find their right place, and shelves never seem to have 

enough drawers in them. However, a little creativity and 

good will can take care of that. Numerous stores feature 

various decorative boxes and it’s very easy to pick 

a sample that will nicely fit into the rest of the room, and 

you can also play around with the shades. For example, 

a yellow box can be used for different documents, an

ochre box can be a place for spare light bulbs, while a 

brown box could be ideal for a woman to stash her favourite 

necklaces. By using this method, you will always 

know which item can be found in which box, and it will 

all leave a warm and decorative impression. 

Closets often take up a lot of space, and most of them 

aren’t particularly practical and purposeful, despite of 

their size. Double-check the construction of your closet, 

including the height of its bar, and if it’s possible, lift it up 

a few centimetres and add another bar just below it. 

That will leave longer pieces of clothes on the upper bar, 

while the lower bar can be used for skirts and short shirts. 

Hanging shelves made of jute or flax are very practical 

because they are very ergonomic, and their pockets 

can be used for underwear and other pieces of clothes 

that didn’t fit in the rest of the closet. The closet bottom 

can be used for boxes, and you can find decorative 

boxes with different labels in any store, which will make 

it a lot easier for you to know the position of everything, 

as well as make optimal usage of the entire space of the 

closet. When it comes to bedrooms, the space under 

the bed is always the first option for storing trivial things. 

It goes without saying that there is nothing wrong with 

that because every centimetre counts in smaller spaces. 

However, you don’t have to hide your boxes. It is a 

much better option to choose ratan boxes that have a 

pleasant decorative effect, so besides their purpose of 

storing up linen and blankets, they will further embellish 

and improve the bed. 

Kitchen and Bathroom 

Anyone who spends even a small part of their time behind 

the stove will agree that there is never enough 

room in the kitchen. Whether the kitchen is bigger or 

smaller, you will always find it easier to know your way 

around it if all the objects are within your reach, neatly 

and practically arranged. You’re struggling with lack of 

space in kitchen elements? Set some decorative inox 

porters on the wall and use them for whatever couldn’t 

find its place within the elements. Use the available part 

of the wall to assemble a smaller shelf that will be home 

for nice jars with spices, decorative dishes from natural 

materials that will feature dry groceries, all while freeing 

the kitchen elements exclusively for bigger dishes. 

Regardless of its small size, a bathroom can be nicely organized. 

Pick out some nice hanging shelves with pockets 

that will be used for all the shower gels, shampoos, 

oils, milks, regenerators and other cosmetics. Smaller 

ratan or bamboo boxes have a very warm effect, and 

they can be excellent “storages” for all the aroma salts, 

soaps, face-cleaning products and similar things. It is 

obvious that a minimum of effort will provide you with 

optimal results. 

Office on Wheels 

These days, you can hardly find a household without a 

computer, but computer desks are a pretty big problem 

because they often epitomize what mess is all about. 

Computer parts, CDs with programmes, printing paper, 

a stack of cables, and it all leaves nothing resembling 

a nice and attractive impression. Your solution is – a 

mobile desk. This office on wheels can easily be “relocated” 

from one end of the room to the next, so you 

can put it into the first available corner when you’re not 

using a computer and nobody will be bothered. Make 

sure to choose a mobile desk with plenty of shelves and 

drawers, as it will keep your miniature office in everlasting 

order. It is also worth mentioning that mobile desks 

with panel dividers are very practical because they visually 

separate the working section from the remainder 

of the room. A tidy and clean desk has a direct effect 

on your productivity, so make sure it is nicely organized 

and never gets to messy. And eventually, with just a little 

work and creativity, you will gain a pleasant, warm living 

space that will always make you feel uninhibited and 

comfortable.

Eero Saarinen, arhitekt i dizajner, čovjek koji je dao 

izgled reprezentativnim građevinama dvadesetog 

stoljeća, poput aerodroma JFK u New Yorku 

ili zračne luke Dulles u Washingtonu, ostavio je vidljiv 

trag i u unutrašnjem uređenju stvarajući namještaj 

koji je obilježio 20. stoljeće. Ime Saarinen u više je generacija 

ostalo sinonim rafiniranosti i sklada. 

Rođen u Helsinkiju, Eero Saarinen, zajedno s obitelji, 

dvadesetih godina prošlog stoljeća odlazi u Ameriku, 

gdje njegov otac, Eliel Saarinen, poznati arhitekt i tvorac 

modernog stila u Finskoj, dobiva posao na visokom 

učilištu Cranbrook Academy of Art u Michigenu. Obrazovanje 

je počeo kao skulptor, u Parizu, na Académie 

de la Grande Chaumiére, a zatim upisuje arhitekturu na 

prestižnom sveučilištu Yale, u Connecticutu. Za njega je 

arhitektura bila nastavak umjetničkog izražavanja, mislio 

je o njoj kao nastavku lijepih umjetnosti. Često je naglašavao 

da je on zapravo “oblikovatelj”, stvaralac formi, i 

sve što je radio, u sebi je sadržavalo snažnu skulpturalnu 

notu. To se, svakako, odnosilo i na njegovu viziju u dizajnu 

namještaja. 

Još na fakultetu, Saarinen je bio blizak s kolegama 

Charlesom i Ray Eames, koji će poslije postati vodeća 

imena američkog poslijeratnog dizajna, kao i s Florence 

Knoll, te će to prijateljstvo snažno obilježiti njegovu 

dizajnersku karijeru. Priznanja za svoj rad Eero Saarinen 

je dobio vrlo brzo, dok je još uvijek radio za svoga oca,

Saarinenove stolice Tulip dostupne su u varijantama sa i bez naslonjača za ruke / 

The Saarinen Tulip chairs are available with or without arms 

a prvi veći uspjeh uslijedio je za stolicu koju je dizajnirao 

s Charlesom Eamesom za natječaj “Organski dizajn 

u opremanju doma” 1940., američkog Muzeja moderne 

umjetnosti, na kojemu su dobili prvu nagradu. Tu je 

stolicu visoko progresivnog dizajna, kao i druge komade 

njegova namještaja (kultne sjedalice Grashopper, 

Womb i Tulip), počela proizvoditi tvrtka Knoll, tako da 

je fakultetski prijateljski kružok postao važan poligon za 

poslovnu suradnju. 

Nakon Drugog svjetskog rata, nove su tehnologije dopuštale 

upotrebu materijala korištenih u ratnoj industriji, 

poput zaobljene šperploče i aluminija, a uskoro na scenu 

stupa i plastika koja će se široko koristiti u proizvodnji 

namještaja. To je i vrijeme kada počinje masovna produkcija 

za rastuće potrebe poslijeratnog svijeta. Saarinenova 

stolica Tulip (Tulipan), tipičan je primjerak dizajna 

sredine dvadesetog stoljeća, klasik industrijskog dizajna. 

Stolica Tulip dizajnirana je za newyorški Knoll 1956. godine. 

Glatke modernističke linije, zaobljene plohe, novi, 

eksperimentalni materijali (aluminijska baza, fiberglas), 

sve ju je to činilo pomalo futurističkim komadom namještaja, 

a njezino prožimanje s prostorom i otvorena forma 

cvijeta, posveta je organskom dizajnu, skandinavskom 

podrijetlu autora i njegovu kiparskom backgroundu. Stolica 

Tulip dio je Saarinenove poznate pijedestalne kolekcije, 

motivirane autorovom željom da se riješi “nereda” 

koji stvaraju sve one noge na kojima obično počiva namještaj 

poput stolova i stolica. Smatrao je da je upravo 

oslonac ono što pridonosi harmoniji konačne forme i 

njezina prožimanja s prostorom. Oslonac stolice Tulip inspiriran 

je padom, slijevanjem tekućine visoke ljepljivosti, 

poput meda ili smole. Baš kao i njegove arhitektonske 

projekte, Saarinenov namještaj karakteriziraju ekspresivne 

skulpturalne forme. U svom purističkom pristupu 

arhitekturi i dizajnu tražio je bazičnu ideju koju bi zatim 

reducirao na najbolje strukturno rješenje unutar sveobu- 

hvatnog dizajna. Ideja za stolicu Tulip razvila se više u 

odnosu na prostor u kojemu je trebala stajati nego što 

je težila a priori određenom obliku. Saarinen je stremio 

uspostavljanju ravnoteže između komada namještaja i 

njegova neposrednog okružja. Tulip chair ovjenčana je 

nagradom Muzeja moderne umjetnosti 1969., kao stolica 

koja predstavlja jedinstvo forme i materijala. 

Njegov dizajn, od Womb chair, koja je nastala iz želje Florence 

Knoll da se osmisli stolica u koju bi se mogla sklupčati, 

do pijedestalne serije skulpturalnih stolova i stolica, 

danas ima kultni status, a časopis Playboy opisao ga 

je riječima “bujnost, finesa i visok stupanj imaginacije”. 

Saarinen je tijekom čitave karijere dizajnirao namještaj, s 

istim zanimanjem za istraživanjem novih materijala, inovativnih 

tehnika konstrukcije i skulpturalnih formi, što je 

odlikovalo i njegovu arhitekturu. Još kao tinejdžer, dizajnirao 

je namještaj za akademiju Cranbrook. 

Eero Saarinen bio je jedan od najplodnijih, najneortodoksnijih 

i najkontroverznijih majstora arhitekture 20. stoljeća, 

jedan od najslavnijih ahitekata svoga vremena. U 

postratnim godinama uvelike je pridonio kreiranju međunarodnog 

imidža Sjedinjenih Američkih Država stvarajući 

neke od najpotentnijih simboličkih izraza američkog 

identiteta. Vjerojatno je najpoznatije njegovo 

djelo upravo čuveni TWA terminal aerodroma JFK, koji je 

vrhunac njegova dizajnerskog i arhitektonskog djelovanja 

i zoran primjer ekspresionizma i tehničke izvrsnosti u 

radu s betonskim školjkama. 

Tridesetih i četrdesetih godina dvadesetog stoljeća Saarinen 

je umnogome pridonio upletanju moderne arhitekture 

u američki mainstream, zajedno sa svojim ocem. 

Danas se smatra jednim od najvećih majstora američke 

arhitekture prošlog stoljeća. Umro je u pedeset prvoj 

godini života, ostavivši desetak nedovršenih projekata. 

Energija i želja za stvaranjem bila je prisutna do samoga 

kraja njegova života.

Stolica Tulip tipičan je primjerak dizajna sredine dvadesetog stoljeća, klasik industrijskog dizajna / Tulip Chair is a typical 

design example of the middle of the twentieth century, and it is regarded as a classic of industrial design 

tect and creator of the modern style in Finland, received 

a job at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan. He 

started his education as a sculptor at the Academie de 

la Grande Chaumiere in Paris, which was followed by 

him studying architecture at the prestigious Yale University 

in Connecticut. He observed architecture as a continuation 

of artistic expression, as he regarded it a logical 

extension of fine arts. He often emphasized that he is 

actually “a shaper” or creator of forms, and everything 

he ever did contained a strong sculptural note. And that 

certainly also goes for his vision in furniture design. 

While he was still at university, Saarinen struck a bond 

with colleagues Charles and Ray Eames, who were 

about to become the leading names of American 

post-war design, as well as with Florence Knoll, and that 

friendship was about to strongly influence his designing 

career. Eero Saarinen received recognition for his work 

fairly early while he was still working for his father, and he 

achieved his first major success with a chair he designed 

with Charles Eames for the “Organic Design in Home 

Furnishing” contest by the American Museum of Modern 

Arts in 1940, as they won the first award. That chair with 

a highly progressive design, much like many other of his 

furniture pieces (legendary chairs Grasshopper, Womb 

and Tulip), was being manufactured by company Knoll, 

which means that a circle of university friends became 

an important training ground for the idea of doing business 

together.

After World War II, new technologies allowed the usage 

of materials that were used in the war industry, such as 

rounded plywood and aluminium, and it wasn’t long 

before plastic arrived and started being widely used in 

furniture production. That was a period that signalled 

the beginning of mass production for the growing 

needs of the post-war world. Saarinen’s Tulip Chair is 

a typical design example of the middle of the twentieth 

century, and it is regarded 

as a classic of industrial design.

Poster od Saarinenove stolice iz 50-ih / Poster of 

Saarinen chair from 50’s 

thor’s desire to get rid of “the disorder” that 

was created by all those numerous legs that 

supported furniture like chairs and tables. He 

felt that it was actually the back of the chair 

that contributed to the harmony of the completed 

form and its intertwining with space. 

The back of the Tulip Chair was inspired by a 

fall or the pouring of a very sticky liquid, like 

honey or resin. Just as was the case with his 

architectonic projects, Saarinen’s furniture 

was characterized by expressive sculptural 

forms. His purist approach to architecture 

and design demanded a basic idea that 

would be reduced to the finest structural solution 

within the overall design. The idea for 

the Tulip Chair owed more to its immediate 

environment than to aiming for a very predetermined 

shape. Saarinen strived towards 

achieving balance between a piece of furniture 

and its immediate environment. Tulip 

Chair received an award by the Museum of 

Modern Arts in 1969 as a chair that presented 

the unity of form and material. 

His design work from the Womb Chair, which 

was created out of Florence Knoll’s desire to 

come up with a chair that you can curl up 

in, all the way to the pedestal series of sculptural 

tables and chairs, now enjoys a legendary 

status, and it must be said that Playboy 

Magazine described him with words like “vibrancy, 

finesse and a high degree of imagination”. 

Saarinen spent the entire course of 

his career designing furniture, and he never 

stopped being interested in exploring new 

materials, innovative construction techniques 

and sculptural forms, which were the 

same characteristics that were present in his 

architecture. Even back as a teenager, he 

designed furniture for Cranbrook Academy. 

Eero Saarinen was one of the most productive, 

unorthodox and controversial masters 

of twentieth-century architecture, as well as 

one of the most famous architects of his time. 

During the post-war years, he very much 

contributed to the creation of the USA’s international 

image by creating some of the 

most potent symbolic expressions of American 

identity. It’s likely that his most famous 

project is the famous TWA Terminal at JFK 

Airport, which represents the peak of his designer 

and architectonic career and a clear 

example of expressionism and technical excellence 

while working with concrete shells. 

During the 1930s and 1940s, Saarinen contributed 

a great deal to the involvement of modern 

architecture into American mainstream, 

along with his father. He is now considered 

to be one of the great masters of American 

architecture of the last century. He died in his 

fifty-first year of life, leaving behind about a 

dozen of unfinished projects. His energy and 

the desire to create haven’t abandoned him 

till the very end of his life.

Veljača je mjesec zaljubljenih i pravo vrijeme za 

uvođenje romantike u vaš dom. Uz samo nekoliko 

intervencija sasvim običan prostor može postati 

pravo ljubavno gnijezdo. 

Svijeće, i to po mogućnosti mirisne, prvi su korak. 

Postavite ih po cijelom domu, čak i u kupaonici, i 

stvorit će toplu i ugodnu atmosferu. Cvijeće je također 

bitan detalj, te ga se ne smije izostaviti. 

Kod odabira boja nema dvojbe, crvena, boja ljubavi, 

najbolji je izbor. 

Prepustite se dekoriranju stola. Izvadite najbolje 

posuđe, po mogućnosti s crvenim detaljima, te se 

prepustite romantičnom ugođaju. 

February is the month for those in love, and the 

perfect time for you to bring in some romance 

into your home. With just several interventions, a 

perfectly regular space can become a true love 

nest. 

Candles, preferably those with aroma, are the first 

step. Position them all over your home, including 

the bathroom, and you will create a warm and 

cosy atmosphere. Flowers also represent an important 

detail, and they must be included. 

While choosing the colours, there is really only one 

way to go – red, the colour of love, is the best 

choice. 

Engage yourself in decorating the table. Bring out 

your best dishes, especially if they have some red 

details, and embrace the romantic ambience.

Lošinj 

Na uskoj prevlaci koja spaja otoke Cres i Lošinj, prodaje se stara kamena kuća. Smještena je u samoj povijesnoj jezgri 

grada Osora. Kuća se sastoji od tri etaže površine 210 m 2 , tavana površine 72 m 2 te dva balkona od 15 m 2 . Kuća je 

građena na prijelazu iz 15. u 16. stoljeće i zidana je od debelih kamenih blokova. Na zidu dnevne sobe u prizemlju se 

nalaze dvije freske s početka 19. stoljeća. U početku su u kući boravili crkveni vjerodostojnici da bi nakon toga kuća 

bila stan osorskih biskupa. Kada se biskupija preselila, kuća dolazi u vlasništvo imućne osorske obitelji koja je kuću 

prenamijenila u jednu od najpoznatijih konoba i prenoćišta na Jadranu. Kuća je posljednjih pola stoljeća u vlasništvu 

prodavateljeve obitelji. Uz kuću se prodaje i sav pripadajući namještaj iz 19. i 20. stoljeća. 

On a narrow land bridge that connects the islands of Cres and Lošinj, there is an old stone house for sale. It is located 

right in the historical centre of the town of Osor. The house consists of three storeys with 210 m 2 of surface, as well 

as a 72 m 2 attic and two 15 m 2 balconies. The house was originally built in the late 15th/early 16th century, and thick 

stone blocks were used during the process. On the wall of the ground-floor living room, we find two frescoes from 

the early 19th century. In the beginning, church officials were residing in the house, and after that the house served 

as an apartment of the Osor bishops. When the Bishopric moved, the house came into possession of a wealthy Osor 

family, which redefined the house as one of the most famous taverns and hostels at the Adriatic. Over the last half of 

the century, the house was owned by the seller’s family. The sale also includes all the accompanying furniture from the 

19th and 20th century.
