“Čovječe, pazi da ne ideš malen ispod zvijezda...” riječi su Antuna Branka Šimića urezane u
pamćenje još od ranih školskih dana.
Bez imalo lažne skromnosti izjavljujem da se osjećam ponosnom što sam dio velikih. Ne misleći
pritom na prihod ostvaren u prošloj godini niti na broj prodanih oglasa, već na veličinu ljudi
koji me okružuju.
Gospođa Marija Goreta, prognanica i samohrana majka dvoje djece, posljednjih nekoliko
godina živjela je bespravno u prostorijama devastiranog hotela Central na splitskoj Pjaci, u
vrlo lošim životnim uvjetima. Odlukom suda morala se u svibnju ove godine iseliti, a zbog katastrofalne
imovinske situacije dugoročno nije ni na koji način mogla riješiti pitanje krova nad
glavom. Stoga je tvrtka DalCasa, na čelu s direktorom Jakšom Mrčelom, pronašla najbolji
mogući način da pomogne obitelji, dajući gospođi Goreti na doživotno korištenje stan od 40
četvornih metara u kompleksu novogradnji na Duilovu.
Biti osjetljiv na tuđe probleme i pri tome se još involvirati, odlika je samo velikih. Osmijeh i iskreno
“hvala” u očima gospođe Marije nama su neprocjenjivi.
Vjerujući kako će i druge tvrtke prepoznati važnost ovakvog načina pomaganja i društvene
solidarnosti, pozivamo zainteresirane tvrtke da se uključe u akciju doniranjem nužnog namještaja
i kućanskih uređaja obitelji Goreta.
A u rujanskom broju DalCase pronaći ćete mnoštvo zanimljivih i korisnih tema: kako je IKEA
postala najmoćniji brand na svijetu? Koje su kvalitete dobrog agenta za nekretnine, koji pod
izabrati, kako se osjećati ugodno u svojoj spavaćoj sobi, gdje jesti u Rijeci, gdje spavati kada ste
na Siciliji?... Odgovore na ta i još mnoga druga pitanja pripremila je za vas naša vrijedna ekipa.
Čitajte nas i dalje i javite nam svoje kritike, savjete i pohvale.
“Man, make sure you don’t walk small under the stars...” - these words by Croatian poet Antun
Branko Šimić have a way of sticking around since the early days of school.
Without any false modesty, I declare that I feel proud to be part of the greats. And when I say
that, I don’t mean the income that was achieved over the last year or the number of adverts
that were sold, but rather on the greatness of people that surround me.
Mrs. Marija Goreta, refugee and a single mother of two, has spent the last few years illegally
living inside the devastated hotel “Central” at the Split Piazza, surrounded by horrible living
conditions. Due to the court’s ruling, she had to move out of there in May, and her disastrous
money situation prevented her coming up with any long-term solutions for her housing issue.
That’s why the DalCasa Company, led by Chairman of the Board Jakša Mrčela, found the
best way of helping the family by giving Mrs. Goreta life-long usage of a 40-square-metre
apartment in a complex of new buildings in Duilovo. To be sensitive about someone else’s
problems and to then get involved, that is something that only great people do. The smile and
the sincere “thank you” in Mrs. Marija’s eyes is something we find invaluable.
Believing that other companies will also recognize the importance of this type of helping and
social solidarity, we invite all the interested companies to join the action and donate the necessary
furniture and household appliances to the Goreta family.
And there are also plenty of interesting and useful topics in the September issue of DalCasa:
how did IKEA become the most powerful brand in the world? Which are the qualities that a
good real estate agent must possess, which floor do you choose, how do you feel comfortable
in your bedroom, where do you eat in Rijeka, where do you sleep in Sicily?… Answers to
those and to many other questions have been prepared by our hard-working team.
Keep reading us and stay in touch with your critiques, advices and compliments.

Piše: Tanja Jadrešiæ
O Ikei ćete uvijek čuti koliko novih artikala ima, koliko prodavaonica ima u svijetu, ali
nikada nećete čuti hvalisanje porastom profita u protekloj godini i drugim “antipatičnim”
podacima koji bi kupca mogli odvratiti od njegova osobnog priloga rastu današnje
megakorporacije. Komunikacijska taktika strogo zabranjuje izgradnju imidža tvrtke na
financijskoj moći
Četiri debeljuškasta modra slova na intenzivnoj
žutoj podlozi danas su širom svijeta ekvivalent
kvalitetnoga, simpatičnog i svima dostupnog
namještaja: Ikea je odabirom boja nepogrešivo
švedska, no po svemu drugome već je odavno globalni
megabrand.
Jedna od najuspješnijih američkih TV reklama za Ikeu
djelo je redatelja Spikea Jonzea, autora “uvrnutih” filmova
“Adaptacija” i “Biti John Malkovich”. Reklama počinje
kadrom u kojemu prelomljena samostojeća svjetiljka
stoji na rubu pločnika dok po njoj uporno pljušti kiša. U
pozadini se kroz prozor nazire vlasnik “ostavljene” svjetiljke
koji se upravo divi novoj u dnevnome boravku. A
tada na scenu stupa čovjek koji nordijskim naglaskom
govori: “Žao vam je ove svjetiljke? To je zato što niste
normalni. Ova je svjetiljka stvar. Ona nema osjećaja. A
nova je puno bolja.”
Tako, jednostavno i jezgrovito, Ikea pobija stoljetni običaj
ljudi da se vezuju uz svoj namještaj i prenose komode
iz generacije u generaciju. Na filozofiji namještaja
kao potrošne robe, Ikea je stvorila svoj identitet i počela
ostvarivati osnovnu ideju svog osnivača Ingvara Kamprada.
A ta je bila da ono što stvara proda što većem
broju ljudi. Namještaj mora biti kvalitetan, praktičan, inovativan,
dizajniran tako da se svidi što većem broju ljudi i
financijski dostupan svima, od studenata do mladih bračnih
parova s djecom, od radnika do umirovljenika. Ili,
Kampradovim riječima: “Stvoriti što bolji život za većinu
ljudi.” Reklo bi se, prava švedska socijalna osviještenost
udružena s puno trgovačkog duha.

Upakirani namještaj
Ikea je dobila ime po inicijalima svojega vlasnika Ingvara
Kamprada te imenima gradića i farme u južnoj Švedskoj
gdje je u kasnim četrdesetim godinama prošlog stoljeća
svoj biznis započeo kao sedamnaestogodišnjak, prodajući
olovke i božićne čestitke u šupi obiteljskog imanja.
Pet godina poslije svoj je posao proširio i na namještaj,
a prva je prodavaonica sa slavnim imenom otvorena
1958. u Almhultu. No, nije vlasnik, nego jedan od njegovih
prvih zaposlenika 1956. učinio Ikeu onim što danas
jest, zahvaljujući jednostavnom izumu: namještaju koji se
dostavlja u dijelovima i sastavlja kod kuće. Legenda kaže
da ga je na to natjerala nužda, pokušaj da preveze stol
u automobilu. Skinuvši noge stola, pakiranje stola u prtljažnik
je postalo lako, a već iste godine Ikea je gotovo
sve svoje uratke počela pakirati u plosnate pakete koje

novi vlasnici sami sastavljaju i stvorila odani krug ljubitelja
u domovini kojima se svidjela ideja da i sami “nešto”
naprave oko svog namještaja. Ikeina tehnologija “uradi
sam” jedna je od najjednostavnijih, prilagođena i onima
koji nisu vični alatu. Možda i tu leži dio Ikeina šarma:
u vremenima visoke tehnologije, kada sve manje ljudi
stvara vlastitim rukama neki čvrst, opipljiv predmet, Ikea
je demokratično svima dala mogućnost stvaranja, igranja.
Kamprad i njegovi ostali su vjerni tome konceptu od
osnutka do danas, a sve ono što je Ikeu učinilo onim što
je danas, njezin je vlasnik sakupio u djelu pod nazivom
“Ostavština trgovca namještajem”, koje je napisao još
1976. i koje je u međuvremenu preraslo u polufilozofski
manifest kompanije.
U njemu se krije još jedna posebnost Ikeina odnosa prema
poslu, profitu, novcu. Kompanijina je politika vezana
uz brojeve vrlo čvrsta: o Ikei ćete uvijek čuti koliko novih
artikala ima, koliko je kataloga tiskano, koliko prodavaonica
ima u svijetu, ali nikada nećete čuti hvalisanje brojkama
iz financijskog izvješća, porastom profita u protekloj
godini i svim drugim “antipatičnim” podacima koji bi
kupca mogli odvratiti od njegova osobnog priloga rastu
današnje megakorporacije. Komunikacijska taktika
strogo zabranjuje izgradnju imidža tvrtke na financijskoj
moći i umjesto toga nalaže svojim glavnim ljudima da
govore o uspjesima vezanim uz proizvodnju, inovaciju,
usredotočujući pažnju javnosti na to da tvrtku vodi želja
da ugode kupcima, a ne dioničarima.
Forbesov prvak
No, dioničarima je vrlo dobro: vlasnički su okupljeni u
fundaciji INGKA te INGKA holdingu kao krovnoj tvrtki
Ikea grupe, koja je u razdoblju od rujna 2005. do kolovoza
2006. ostvarila promet od 17,3 milijarde eura. Tvrtka
je registrirana u Nizozemskoj, pa je cijela Ikea danas, de
facto, nizozemska, no članovi upravnog odbora i dalje
su dijelom članovi obitelji Kamprad.
I dok osnivač tvrtke već dvadesetak godina figurira kao
tihi savjetnik u pitanjima upravljanja, živi u Švicarskoj i vozi
se javnim prijevozom iako je s bogatstvom procijenjenim
na 32 milijarde prošle godine bio četvrti na Forbesovoj
listi najbogatijih ljudi na svijetu, Ikea i dalje raste. Nakon
osvajanja Europe, Australije, Sjedinjenih Država, Kanade
i dijelova Azije, jedan od posljednjih palih bastiona
je i Kina. Do prije desetak godina mnogi bi se kladili da
Ikein koncept ne može uspjeti u Kini. Jedan od vodećih
svjetskih izvoznika, zemlja koja po nezamislivo povoljnim
cijenama proizvodi kopije apsolutno svega – od torbi
Louis Vuitton do umjetničkih slika – po logici stvari ne bi
trebala imati potrebu za uvoznim brandom koji cijenom
nipošto ne može konkurirati domaćoj proizvodnji. No,
pomodnost nove urbane Kine, željne zapadnih utjecaja
i s hrpom novoga kapitala, u kombinaciji s Ikeinom moći
prilagodbe, učinila je svoje. Od 1998., kad je u Šangaju
otvorena prva Ikeina prodavaonica, do 2004. godine
godišnji promet tvrtke u Kini se popeo na stotinjak milijuna
eura. I dalje raste, zajedno s brojem novootvorenih
prodavaonica. A dok ostale razvikane tvrtke vode
vječnu borbu s jeftinim kopijama svojih proizvoda, u Kini
je Ikea odlučila za borbu primijeniti oružje protivnika,
snizivši cijene svojih proizvoda za gotovo 50 posto čim
je primijetila kinesku tendenciju krađe ideja. Općenito,

Ikei je posljednjih godina uspjelo sniziti svoje cijene na
svjetskome tržištu prosječno za 15 do 20 posto, što na
tržištu namještaja, s porastom cijena sirovina i transporta,
rijetko kome uspijeva. A kako svaka medalja ima dvije
strane, tu je cijenu umjesto kupca morao platiti netko
drugi, u ovome slučaju dobavljači širom svijeta (među
njima i nekoliko hrvatskih tvrtki) kojima se ne isplati izgubiti
posao s velikom Ikeom i radije će poslovati na rubu
isplativosti. Kao i obično, veliki diktiraju uvjete.
18
Ekologija Ikee
No, Ikeini menadžeri inovativno su pristupili i rezanju nekih
drugih troškova, pa je tako 2003. Ikea postala prva
europska tvrtka koja sirovinu i svoje proizvode prevozi u
željezničkim kompozicijama. Ikeini vlakovi mogu dnevno
prevesti ekvivalent od 60 tegljača, uz smanjenje emisije
ugljičnog dioksida od 70 posto, i nepoznatu, ali vrlo vjerojatno
veliku uštedu na gorivu. Ikea je općenito jedna
od velikih svjetskih tvrtki koja je u svoju poslovnu filozofiju
davno ugradila jaku ekološku komponentu. S posebnom
se pažnjom pristupa drvu kao osnovnoj sirovini, a svaka
drvna građa koja se koristi mora zadovoljiti neke uvjete:
podrijetlo drveta mora biti poznato, mora biti proizvedeno
u skladu s lokalnim zakonima zemlje iz koje dolazi,
drvo ne smije biti iz zaštićenih područja, netaknutih prirodnih
šuma...
Još jedno veliko tržište, ono američko, davno je osvojeno.
No, imidž koji Ikea uživa u SAD-u uvelike se razlikuje
od onoga kako Ikeu doživljavaju Europljani. Dok su
na Starom kontinentu kupci većinom svjesni da u Ikei
za dobru cijenu dobivaju “konfekciju” prihvatljive kvalitete,
Amerikanci u švedskom proizvođaču vide visokosofisticiranu
europsku egzotiku po prihvatljivoj cijeni.
Šveđani, primjerice, nerado uređuju kompletan dom
po Ikeinu katalogu, držeći to manjkom vlastita ukusa
i svojevrsnim “fast-food” življenjem, dok je u pojedinim
dijelovima SAD-a to gotovo stvar prestiža, a dom
uređen u Ikei smatra se vrlo šik. Stoga ni ne čudi da
je Ikeina prodaja u SAD-u druga u svijetu (jedino je u
Njemačkoj viša).
A kako je kod nas? Otvaranje Ikeina prodajnog centra
još se iščekuje, iako bi se, prema nekim najavama,
švedski div trebao pojaviti “na ovim prostorima” – ali najvjerojatnije
u Hrvatskoj – u sljedeće tri godine. U međuvremenu
će, kao i dosad, rijeke ljudi iz sjevernoga dijela
Hrvatske hodočastiti put Graza, gdje ionako pola osoblja
Ikee govori hrvatski i slovenski, a Dalmatinci i ostali
radije će brodom preko Jadrana, do Ancone. No, valja
očekivati da će se i kod nas, kao i u svim drugim zemljama
u kojima se dugo očekivao dolazak ovog prodajnog
centra, na otvorenju skupiti rekordan broj ljudi
– otvaranja u nekim zemljama, poput Saudijske Arabije,
pratili su čak i neredi tijekom kojih je morala intervenirati
i policija. Zahvaljujući relativnoj dostupnosti, popularnim
cijenama čak i za ovdašnje pojmove te mladalačkom
dizajnu, Ikea je postala opće mjesto uređenja interijera
u Hrvata, s očitom tendencijom da to još dugo vremena
i ostane.
Uostalom, kao i u ostatku svijeta. Ikea danas ima 259
prodavaonica u 35 zemalja svijeta, a ovogodišnji je katalog,
s više od 191 milijun primjeraka, najtiskanija publikacija
na svijetu. Popularnija od Biblije.

Cover story
Written by: Tanja Jadrešiæ
Prva Ikeina prodavaonica otvorena 1959. u Älmhultu
/ The first IKEA store opened 1958 in Älmhult
When Ikea is the subject of conversation, you will always hear about the amount of
their new items, as well as about the number of their stores in the world, but you will
never hear the bragging about the increase of profits during the last year or other
“dislikeable” information that could turn the customer off from personally contributing
to the growth of today’s mega-corporation. The communication tactic strictly forbids
constructing the company’s image on the basis of financial power
These days, four chubby dark-blue letters on an
intensive yellow surface are equivalent to highquality,
likeable and very accessible furniture all
over the world: Ikea’s choice of colours may be
unmistakably Swedish, but every other possible aspect
has long made it a global mega-brand. One of the most
successful American TV adverts for Ikea was created by
director Spike Jonze, author of such “twisted” movies like
“Adaptation” and “Being John Malkovich”. The advert
starts with a frame in which a broken detached lamp
stands at the edge of sidewalk while the rain is constantly
pouring. You can slowly recognize the owner of the
“forgotten” lamp in the background as he is admiring
the new one in his living room. And then another man
appears on the scene and says with a strong Nordic accent:
“You’re feeling sorry for this lamp? That is because
you are not normal. This lamp is a thing. It has no feelings.
And the new one is vastly superior.”
And in such manner, simply and to the point, Ikea finishes
off people’s everlasting practice to become attached
to their furniture and to carry dressers over from one generation
to the next. Based on the philosophy of furniture
as disposable goods, Ikea has created its identity and
started accomplishing the primary idea of its founder In-
20
gvar Kamprad. And that was to sell his creations to as
many people as possible. The furniture must be highquality,
practical, innovative, designed so it appeals to
as many people as possible and financially accessible
to everyone, from students to young married couples
with children, as well as from workers to retired people.
Or as Kamprad said: “To create as good a life as pos-

ally create firm and tangible
objects with their own hands,
Ikea has democratically given
everyone a chance to create
and play around. Kamprad
and his associates have remained
faithful to that concept
from the beginning to
this day, and everything
that has made Ikea what it
is today was assembled by its
owner in a book called “Legacy of a Furniture Dealer”,
which he wrote back in 1976, and which has now been
turned into the company’s semi-philosophical manifesto.
It reveals another special dimension of Ikea’s relationship
towards business, profit and money. When it comes
to numbers, the company policy is very strict: you can
always hear about the amount of Ikea’s new items, or
the number of catalogues that have been printed, or
the stores that are spread all over the world, but you will
never hear the bragging about numbers from financial
reports, increased profits during the last year or other
“dislikeable” information that could turn the customer
off from personally contributing to the growth of today’s
mega-corporation. The communication tactic strictly
forbids constructing the company’s image on the basis
of financial power, instead instructing its chief executives
to speak about the successes in the fields of manufactursible
for the majority of people.” You might call it true
Swedish social conscientiousness combined with a lot of
business spirit.
Packaged Furniture
Ikea received its name after the initials of its owner Ingvar
Kamprad, as well as the names of the little town and the
farm in southern Sweden where, during the late 1940s, he
started his business as a seventeen-year old, selling pencils
and Christmas cards in the shed of his family estate.
He expanded his business to furniture five years later, and
the first store with the famous name was opened in 1958
in Almhult. But it wasn’t the owner who made Ikea what
it is today; it was rather one of his first employees in 1956,
thanks to a simple invention: furniture that is delivered in
parts and assembled at home. Legend says that it was
purely a stroke of necessity, as he attempted to deliver
a table by his car. By taking the legs off the table, packing
that table into the trunk suddenly became very easy,
and it was during that same year that Ikea started to
pack all their products into flat packages that the new
owners were assembling by themselves, thus creating a
cult following in their country because people liked the
idea of doing some work on their new furniture themselves.
Ikea’s “do it yourself” technology is one of the simplest,
as it is also adjusted to those who aren’t very strong
with tools. Maybe that’s a part of Ikea’s charm: in these
times of high technology, when very few people actu-
21

Gunghult rocking chair and Ånga TV storage
ing and innovation, thus focusing the public’s attention
on the fact that the company is driven by the desire to
please its customers, and not its stockholders.
Forbes’s Champion
Naturally, the stockholders aren’t doing too shabby: the
ownership ones are gathered in the INGKA Foundation
and INGKA Holding as the top company of the Ikea
Group, which has performed transactions in the value
of 17,3 billion euros in the period from September 2005
to August 2006. The company is registered in Holland,
which really makes Ikea a Dutch company these
days, but it’s still the members of the Kamprad
family that are sitting in the Board of Directors of
the INGKA Foundation.
And while the company’s founder has been acting
as a silent consultant when it comes to management
for about twenty years, spending his
time in Switzerland and riding
the public transport despite
being the
fourth richest
person in the
world on the
Forbes list with
about 32 billions
worth of wealth, Ikea
keeps growing and
growing. After con-
22
quering Europe, Australia, the USA, Canada and parts
of Asia, one of the last fallen bastions turned out to be
China. Up until ten years ago, many would be willing to
bet that Ikea’s concept cannot succeed in China. One
of the world’s leading exporters, a country that, under
unimaginably accessible prices, produces copies of just
about anything – from Louis Vuitton bags to art paintings
– logically shouldn’t have any need to import a brand
that has no chance to compete with domestic production
when it comes to prices. However, the trendiness of
the new urban China, which is craving for Western influences
and has a stack load of capital, and combined
with Ikea’s ability to adjust, has accomplished the mission.
Since 1998, when the first Ikea store was opened in
Shanghai, up until 2004, the company’s yearly business
in China has climbed up to about a hundred million euros.
And it still keeps growing, along with the number of
recently opened stores. And while the other quasi-famous
companies fight the eternal battle against their
products’ cheap knock-offs, Ikea has decided to fight
their opponents with their own weapons in China, and
they did it by lowering their prices for almost 50% as soon
as they noticed the Chinese tendency of stealing ideas.
Generally, Ikea has managed to lower their prices on the
world market for about 15 to 20 %, which is a feat that
is not easy to achieve on the furniture market thanks to
the rising prices of materials and transport. And being
that every coin has two sides, someone else had to pay
that price instead of the buyers, and it turned out to be

the suppliers across the world (several Croatian firms included)
that are not willing to lose their business with the
great Ikea and will rather do their business on the verge
of profitability. As always, the mighty set the standards.
Ikea’s Ecology
However, Ikea’s managers have taken an innovative approach
to cutting some other expenses, so in 2003 Ikea
became the first European company that transports its
materials and products via railroad compositions. Today
IKEA Rail company is closed but IKEA still transport the
same amount of goods on the train, reducing the emission
of carbon dioxide as well as saving an unidentifiedbut-large
amount of money on fuel.
Ikea is generally one of the great companies of the world
that has been bringing in a strong ecological dimension
into its business philosophy for a long time. Wood as the
primary material is being approached with special care,
and every type of wood that is used must satisfy certain
conditions: the background of the tree must be familiar, it
must be produced within local laws of its native country,
the wood mustn’t be from protected areas, untouched
natural forests…
Another large market, the American one, has been conquered
for a long time. However, the image that Ikea has
in the States is much different from how Europeans see
Ikea. While the European buyers are mostly aware that
Ikea offers them products of acceptable quality under a
good price, Americans see the Swedish manufacturer as
high-sophisticated European exotics under an acceptable
price. The Swedes, for instance, aren’t too keen on
decorating their entire home after Ikea’s catalogue, seeing
it as lack of good taste and some sort of “fast-food”
living. On the contrary, doing that precise thing is almost
a matter of prestige in certain parts of America, and a
home decorated in Ikea is considered to be very “chic”.
Therefore, it’s not surprising that Ikea’s business in the USA
in second in the world (it’s higher only in Germany).
And what’s our situation? The opening of Ikea’s shopping
centre is still anticipated, although according to some,
the Swedish giant should appear “in this region” – but
most probably in Croatia – within the three years. In the
meantime, just like up until now, rivers of people from the
north of Croatia will go on a pilgrimage to Graz, where
half of Ikea’s staff speaks Croatian and Slovenian anyway,
while people from Dalmatia and nearby will rather
take the boat across the Adriatic to Ancona. It should
be expected that when this grand opening does occur
in our country, it will bring a record number of people to
come, just like in other countries where the opening of
this shopping centre was long-awaited – the openings
in some countries, like Saudi Arabia, were accompanied
by riots that caused the local police to intervene.
Thanks to relative accessibility, popular prices even for
our criteria and youthful design, Ikea has become a central
point of interior decoration in Croatian homes, with
the pretty obvious tendency of remaining the same for
a long time.
And it’s the same in other parts of the world. Ikea currently
has 259 stores in 35 countries of the world, and this
year’s catalogue, with over 191 million issues, is the most
printed publication in the world. More popular than the
Bible itself.

Predstavljamo DalCasin projekt “Vrata Splita”
Stanovi za 126 obitelji
Kako je Split danas po cijeni kvadrata najskuplji grad u Hrvatskoj, i novi i stari stanovi u već
izgrađenim kvartovima često su cijenom nedostupni prosječnom građaninu. “Vrata Splita”
upravo su zbog toga izazvala golemo zanimanje: investitor najavljuje cijenu već od 1990
eura/m 2 što je za novogradnju u Splitu gotovo nezamislivo
Piše: Tanja Jadrešiæ
U
posljednjih nekoliko godina DalCasa Grupa je
izrasla u respektabilnu tvrtku poznatu po investiranju
u kvalitetne graditeljske projekte koji zadovoljavaju
sve najviše standarde današnjega
stanovanja. Kompleks urbanih vila u elitnom zagrebačkom
kvartu Gramača i projekt malih stambenih zgrada
u splitskom Duilovu koji je u završnoj fazi unutarnjeg
uređenja, odnosno pred useljenjem, jamci su da je ova
24
tvrtka ozbiljan i pouzdan partner kupcima u pronalasku
svoga mjesta pod suncem.
Stoga ne čudi nezapamćen interes Splićana (i mnogih
drugih koji traže svoj životni prostor u tom gradu) za najavljenu
novogradnju DalCase, velikoga stambenog kompleksa
u splitskom naselju Brda. “Vrata Splita”, kako je
u međuvremenu nazvan ovaj projekt, posebno su zaintrigirala
popularnom cijenom “kvadrata”, ali i najavom

Veličine stanova će varirati od oko 40 do 65 m² / The apartment
sizes will vary from 40 to 65 m 2
Hortikulturno uređenje primijenit će se i na dijelu krovova /
Horticultural decoration will also be applied on the sections
of the roofs and terraces
Investitor najavljuje cijenu već od
1990 eura za četvorni metar / The
investor announces the price of
1990 euros/m 2
gradnje na jednoj od posljednjih urbanih lokacija koje
su infrastrukturno potpuno opremljene za kvalitetan obiteljski
život, a istodobno pružaju puni komfor stanovanja
izvan najveće gradske gužve. Točna lokacija na kojoj je
smješteno gradilište “Vrata Splita”, na brežuljku koji sa
sjeverne strane gleda na Vranjic i sjevernu splitsku obalu,
a s južne na centralni dio Brda, pruža s obje strane brzu
i kvalitetnu prometnu povezanost i s centrom grada i sa
svim sadržajima u periferiji, a u krugu od 10 minuta hoda
nalaze se svi sadržaji važni za cjelovitu urbaniziranu zonu
- škola, dječji vrtić, veliki trgovački centri, tržnica... Poučeni
iskustvima stanovanja u novim gradskim naseljima
gdje čak i osnovna infrastruktura, poput kanalizacije i
razvijenog elektroenergetskog sistema primjerenog količini
potrošača, kasni i po nekoliko godina za gradnjom,
kupci su uvijek u potrazi za stambenim prostorom u kvartu
koji odmah osigurava sve normalne uvjete za život.
No, kako je Split danas po cijeni kvadrata najskuplji grad
u Hrvatskoj (a i šire), i novi i stari stanovi u već izgrađenim
kvartovima često su cijenom nedostupni prosječnom hrvatskom
građaninu. “Vrata Splita” upravo su zbog toga
izazvala golemo zanimanje pa su se predbilježbe potencijalnih
kupaca primale i prije završetka arhitektonskoga
projekta. Naime, investitor najavljuje cijenu već od 1990
eura za četvorni metar, što je za novogradnju u Splitu
u posljednjih godinu-dvije bilo gotovo nezamislivo. Tako
popularna cijena odraz je činjenice da je na zemljištu
predviđenom za “Vrata Splita” dopušten visok stupanj
izgrađenosti pa će investicija u teren biti bolje “pokrivena”
brojem izgrađenih stanova. Objekt obuhvaća čak
15 000 četvornih metara bruto razvijene površine te će
sadržavati 126 stambenih jedinica koje će se prostirati
u dva objekta, svaki sa po pet nadzemnih i dvije podzemne
etaže. Potonje su rezervirane za parkirna mjesta
svih stanara.
Projekt, čiji je autor arhitekt Neno Mikulandra, krojen je
s posebnom pažnjom prema potrebama, mogućnostima
i stambenim navikama najvećega dijela današnjih

The object covers up to 15 000 square metres of brutto-developed surface
obitelji pa će veličine stanova varirati od oko 40 m² do 65
m², odnosno većina će stanova biti jednosobna ili dvosobna
s minimumom neiskorištenoga prostora. Osnovna
koncepcija stanova je prilagođena modernom stanovanju:
prostore karakterizira povezanost dnevnoga boravka
s blagovaonicom i kuhinjom u jedan prostor za dnevno
boravljenje, dok je “spavaći dio” – spavaće sobe sa svojim
kupaonicama – odvojen od dnevnog dijela stana.
Ovisno o poziciji u zgradi, stan može imati balkon ili loggiu,
a da bi se maksimalno iskoristila mogućnost povezivanja
stambenih prostora s okolišem i pružio komfor obiteljima
koje će živjeti u njima, prizemni stanovi imaju direktne izlaze
u svoj vlastiti ograđeni vrt. Svi stanari do svojih će domova
moći dolaziti panoramskim dizalima koja su izravno
povezana i s dvije podzemne garažne etaže, a uz okoliš,
hortikulturno uređenje primijenit će se i na dijelu krovova,
odnosno terasa koje će time postati još jedno mjesto
ugodno za boravak na otvorenome. U smislu primjene
materijala, objekt “Vrata Splita” bit će prilagođen najsuvremenijim
zahtjevima struke, uz solidnu gradnju, vrhunske
izolacijske materijale, ugradnju kvalitetne opreme u
interijer i profesionalnu izvedbu koja će u svim dijelovima
pratiti najnovije, vrlo striktne hrvatske propise o gradnji.
Završetak izgradnje najavljen je proljeće 2009. godine.
DalCasine zgrade će biti položene na blagoj uzvisini
koja omogućava lijep pogled na more i planine koje
26
okružuju Split. U prilog tome ide i činjenica da je u neposrednoj
blizini, u zaljevu ispod Brda, planirana izgradnja
pristaništa za megacruisere, dok će nešto zapadnije biti
smješten most koji bi spojio Split i Kaštela, a koji će zasigurno
dijelom rasteretiti i okolne prometnice. Pritom je
važno spomenuti i najavu da će sjeverna prometnica
u blizini “Vrata Splita” u sljedećih godinu-dvije biti proširena
na četiri prometna traka pa više neće biti gradsko
“usko grlo”.
Uz atraktivna “Vrata Splita”, najnoviji projekt DalCasa
Grupe predviđa izgradnju 30 tradicionalnih kamenih
vila namijenjenih obiteljima željnima mira i odmora od
urbane svakodnevice. Svaka od kuća bit će izgrađena
na parceli od 700-injak četvornih metara, s raskošnom
zelenom okućnicom, bazenom i parkirališnim mjestom,
dok će se sam objekt prostirati na oko 150 četvornih metara.
Lokacija u Rudinama iznad Kaštela, s fantastičnim
pogledom na more, idealna je upravo za ovakvo stanovanje.
Vile će se prostirati na čak 25.000 četvornih metara
terena, što će svakome od budućih vlasnika pružiti
potpunu intimu i mir.
Ono što je zajedničko svim planovima DalCasa Grupe
jest kvalitetna izvedba s potpunom prilagodbom željama
kupaca, te umjerenost cijena koja svjedoči o želji investitora
da se u profesionalnoj stanogradnji zadrži dugo, garantirajući
imenom tvrtke visoku razinu usluge.

We present DalCasa’s project “The Doors of Split”
Apartments for 126 Families
Being that Split is the most expensive city in Croatia today in terms of the price of a square
metre, the new and old apartments in the already constructed neighbourhoods often have
inaccessible prices for an average citizen. That’s precisely why “The Doors of Split” have
created such an enormous amount of interest: the investor announced the price of 1990
euros/m 2 , which is almost unimaginable for a new building in Split
Over the last few years, DalCasa Group has
developed into a respectable company
that is known for its investments into quality
construction projects that satisfy all highest
standards of today’s living. The complex of urban villas
in the elite Zagreb neighbourhood of Gramača, as well
as the project of small residential buildings in Duilovo in
Split, which is currently in the final stages of interior decoration
and just ahead of the moving-in process, guarantee
that this company is a serious and reliable partner
for buyers that are looking for their place under the Sun.
Therefore, it’s not surprising to see an unprecedented in-
terest of people of Split (and many others who are looking
for their living space in that town) for the announced
new DalCasa’s building, which appears in the shape of
a large residential complex in the Split neighbourhood
of Brda. “The Doors of Split”, as this project has been
named in the meantime, are especially intriguing thanks
to their popular price of a square metre, but also by announcing
their construction at one of the city’s final
urban locations that has a completely equipped infrastructure
for a quality family life, while still providing full
comfort of living outside of the city’s biggest rush. The
exact location of the construction site for “The Doors of
27

Investments Svi

dizalima /All the tenants will reach their homes with
panoramic elevators
Split” is the slope that overlooks Vranjic and the northern
coast of Split from its northern side, while its southern side
overlooks the central part of Brda. Both of those sides
provide fast and quality traffic connections to both the
city centre and all the facilities in the suburb, and all
those facilities that are important for a complete urban
zone – school, kindergarten, large shopping malls, market…
- are located within 10 minutes of walking from the
object.
Led by experiences of living in the city’s new settlements
where even the basic infrastructure, like sewerage and
the developed electricity system that is adequate to the
user’s needs, is still several years behind the construction
work, the buyers are always looking for a residential
space in a neighbourhood that immediately provides
all the normal life conditions. However, being that Split
is currently the most expensive city in Croatia (and beyond)
in terms of the price of a square metre, the new
and old apartments in the already constructed neighbourhoods
often have inaccessible prices for an average
citizen. That’s exactly why “The Doors of Split” have
created such an enormous amount of interest that led to
the potential buyers’ bookings to be received before the
architectonic project even got finished. That is because
the investor has announced the price of 1990 euros/m 2 ,
which has been almost unimaginable for a new building
in Split over the last year or two. This popular price
reflects the fact that the parcel that features “The Doors
28
of Split” has been allowed to be covered with construction
projects to a high degree, which means that the
investment into the parcel will be much more “covered”
thanks to the sheer number of constructed apartments.
The object covers up to 15 000 square metres of bruttodeveloped
surface and will feature 126 residential units
that will be spread across two objects, each featuring
five overground and two underground storeys. The latter
storeys are reserved for all tenants’ parking spaces.
The project, the author of which is architect Neno Mikulandra,
has been designed with special attention towards
the needs, possibilities and residential habits of
the largest number of today’s families, so the apartment
sizes will vary from 40 to 65 m 2 , and most of the apartments
will have one or two bedrooms with the minimum
of wasted space. The basic apartments’ concept is adjusted
to modern living: the spaces are characterized by
the connection of the living room with the dining room
and kitchen, all of which would create one space for
the daytime, while the “sleeping section” – bedrooms
with their bathrooms – would be separated from that
section. Depending on the position in the building, the
apartment can have either a balcony or a loggia, and
in order to achieve maximum advantage of the possibility
of connecting residential units to the environment
and to create comfort for the residing families, the
ground-floor apartments have direct exits into their own
private fenced gardens. All the tenants will reach their

Autor projekta je arhitekt Mikulandra / The author of
the project is architect Neno Mikulandra
homes with panoramic elevators that are also directly
connected to the two underground garage-storeys,
and along with the environment, horticultural decoration
will also be applied on the sections of the roofs and
terraces, which will make them another pleasant place
to spend your time outdoors. As far as the applied materials
go, “The Doors of Split” object will be adjusted
to the most modern demands of the profession, and
will feature solid construction work, top-notch isolation
materials, quality equipment built into the interiors and
professional performance that will completely obey the
latest, very strict Croatian construction regulations. The
end of the construction process is planned for the spring
of 2009.
DalCasa’s buildings will be placed on a mild slope that
provides a lovely view over the sea and the mountains
that surround Split. In addition to that, there are plans to
build a pier for mega-cruisers very near to the object, in
a small bay that is just below Brda, while slightly west of
that location there will soon be a bridge that will connect
Split to Kaštela, and that will surely unburden the
surrounding roads. It’s also important to mention the announcement
that the northern road near “The Doors of
Split” will soon be widened to four traffic lanes, which
would put an end to its “narrow throat of the city” reputation.
Along with the attractive “The Doors of Split”, DalCasa
Group’s newest project predicts the construction
of 30 traditional stone villas that are aimed at families
that want some peace and rest from the urban everyday
life. Each of the houses will be built on a parcel
of around 700 square metres, and will feature a green
courtyard, swimming pool and a parking space, while
the object itself will take up about 150 square metres. It
will be located in Rudine above Kaštela, and will feature
a fantastic view over the sea, which makes it ideal for
this type of living. The villas be built on 25 000 square metres
of turf, which will enable each of the future owners
to have their complete intimacy and privacy.
What is common to all plans of The DalCasa Group is
quality performance with complete adjustment to the
buyers’ wishes, as well as moderate prices that testify
the investor’s desire to keep his name in the professional
residential-building business for a long time, with
the company name that guarantees the high level of
service.

Tekuća poljska zgrada
To što tako curi prema podnožju zapravo je vješta organska metalno-staklena
konstrukcija koju je arhitekt Vicente Guallart namijenio
za poljski grad Wroclaw, jedan od kandidata za izložbu EXPO 2012.
Upravo ova, Guallartova zgrada u Wroclawu, trebala bi biti pravi
spomenik novome, futurističkom arhitektonskom i umjetničkom
konceptu koji EXPO slavi, u oštroj opreci s tradicionalnim građevinama
koje bi je okruživale.
OMA gradi zgradu rekorderku
Meksikanci se pripremaju za rekord – gradnju najviše zgrade

trebao bi biti izgrađen u prijestolnici Meksika 2010., na 200.
obljetnicu nezavisnosti te države, a osjetljiv posao povjeren je
slavnome studiju OMA Rema Koolhaasa. Projekt neobična izgleda
imat će visinu od 300 metara, te će u njemu biti smješteni
poslovni, kongresni, muzejski, trgovački i ugostiteljski sadržaji.
A Floating Polish Building
The fact that it leaks towards the base in such manner is actually a skilful
organic metal-glass construction that was designed by architect
Vicente Guallart for the Polish city of Wroclaw, which is one of the candidates
for the EXPO 2012 exhibition. This precise Guallart’s building in
Wroclaw should be a true monument to the new, futuristic, architectonic
and artistic concept that is celebrated by EXPO, and that is in stark
contrast to the traditional buildings that would surround it.
Nebeski park
Sve je teže pratiti graditeljska i arhitektonska dostignuća koja se

projekt Cloud (Oblak) još je u sferi projekta,
a riječ je o resortu koji bi bio smješten
300 metara iznad(!) Dubaija. Libanonski
arhitekt Nadim Karam iz Ateljea Hapsitus
zamislio je kako bi golemu, 20.000 četvornih
metara veliku konstrukciju na nebu
pridržavali jednako tako golemi, ali transparentni
stupovi, što bi trebalo podsjećati
na oblak iz kojega pada kiša, dok bi Oblak
sadržavao jezero, parkove, mostove, terase,
poligone za nebeske sportove. Nemoguće?
Nakon Palme, u Dubaiju gotovo ništa

OMA’s Constructing a Record
Building
Mexicans are preparing for a record – constructing Latin
America’s highest building. The pride of Mexico, named Torre
Bicentenario, should be constructed in the Mexican capitol
by 2010, when the country is celebrating the 200th anniversary
of its independence, and this delicate job was given to
Rem Koolhaas’s famous OMA Studio. This unusual-looking
project will feature 300 metres of height, and it will consist of
business and congress premises, as well as museums, stores
and restaurants.
A Park in the Sky
It’s getting harder and harder to keep record of all the construction
and architectonic achievements that are happening in the richest
countries of the Middle East, where there are practically no such
things as financial or any other limitations. However, project Cloud
is still only a project, and we’re talking about a resort that would be
located 300 metres above(!) Dubai. Lebanese architect Nadim Karam
from the Hapsitus Atelier has imagined this enormous, 20.000
m 2 large construction in the
sky being held up by just as
enormous, but transparent
pillars, which should be reminiscent
of a raining cloud.
The Cloud would feature a
lake, parks, bridges, terraces
and training grounds for sky
sports. Impossible? After The
Palm, nothing seems impossible
in Dubai.

Sagrada Familia u opasnosti
Uz rizik da nas se proglasi retrogradnim mrziteljima napretka, apeliramo
zajedno s milijunima drugih da se promijeni trasa brze željeznice

tračnice buduće španjolske

Familije, najpoznatijeg djela
slavnoga katalonskog

i jedne od najposjećenijih
znamenitosti Barcelone,
pod zaštitom UNESCO-a.
Čini se da su se projektanti
željeznice posebno obrušili
na Gaudija jer je trasom ugrožena i njegova kuća Mila, ali i još neki
spomenici kulture u Barceloni.
Na dokovima Middlesbrougha
Ono što su nekoć bili neugledni dokovi engleskoga grada

Razvojna studija nazvana Middlehaven obuhvaća 750 domova,
uz poslovne prostore te prostore uslužnih djelatnosti – od
hotela do barova, a opisuje se kao kombinacija čuda moderne
arhitekture i visokih standarda u održivom stanovanju. Gradnja
bi trebala početi već do kraja ove godine.
News
Sagrada Familia
in Danger
Accepting the risk that we are declared retrograde
haters of progress, we are asking,
along with millions of other people, for the
change of route of the fast railroad track that
would connect two largest Spanish cities
– Madrid and Barcelona. That’s because the
railways of this future Spanish traffic central
point are designed to be placed underground,
just four metres away from Sagrada
Familia, which is the most famous creation of
renowned Catalane architect Antonio Gaudio
and one of Barcelona’s most visited sights,
and it is under UNESCO’s protection. It seems
that the railroad planners have a special grudge against Gaudio because
the route puts his house Mila under jeopardy as well, and the
same goes for several other cultural monuments in Barcelona.
Zračna luka za hadž
Još jedan Koolhaasov projekt zaintrigirao je javnost: ideja nove
zračne luke u Jeddi u Saudijskoj Arabiji kreće se oko jednoga središnjeg
događaja – hadža u Meku, koji na aerodrom u Jeddu svake
godine u isto vrijeme nanese i po dva milijuna muslimanskih hodočasnika.
Za razliku od standardnih projekata aerodroma, gdje
se uvijek barata s pretpostavljenim brojem putnika jednoga dana,
obvezni kapaciteti za novi saudijski ponos otprve su poznati, što je
studiju OMA olakšalo zadatak. Rezultat je cirkularan, ornamentaran
aerodrom, s naglaskom na one koji dolaze, a ne odlaze, te “pomoćnim”
dijelom koji će biti u funkciji samo tijekom hadža.

On the Docks
of Middlesbrough
What once used to be plain-looking docks in the English city of
Middlesbrough, according to a project by much-awarded architect
Will Alsop, will now be turned into the most modern residential
area in Britain. The development study called Middlehaven
encompasses 750 homes, along with business premises
and facilities of the service industry – from hotels to bars, and
it is described as the combination of the modern architecture’s
miracle and high standards of maintainable residence. The
construction process could begin before the year is over.
An Airport for the Pilgrimage
Another Koolhaas’s project has intrigued the public: an idea for a
new airport in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, that would be revolved around
one central event – the pilgrimage into Mecca, which attracts up
to two million Muslim pilgrims into the Jeddah Airport in the same
period of every year. Unlike the standard airport projects where
you’re always working with an assumed number of travellers per
day, mandatory capacities for this new Saudi pride are immediately
known, which made OMA’s work a lot easier. This resulted in a
circular and ornamental airport, which emphasizes those who are
arriving instead of leaving, and which features an assistant section
that will be in function solely during the pilgrimage.

Sasvim privatni, obiteljski razlozi natjerali su Antu
Madunića, pravnika s dugogodišnjom diplomatskom
i gospodarskom karijerom, da uplovi i u
vode građevinskog poduzetništva. Dva puta konzul
pri gospodarskoj upravi Ministarstva vanjskih poslova
– u Frankfurtu i Zürichu, konzultant za strana ulaganja u
Hrvatskoj (ponajprije na području turizma), u Njemačkoj
uspješni poduzetnik i hotelijer s iskustvom vođenja malog
obiteljskog hotela pokraj Münchena, a posljednje dvije
godine i vlasnik splitskoga hotela “Globo”, odlučio je
svojoj obitelji, nakon godina provedenih u inozemstvu,
napokon priuštiti stalan dom u domovini, u gradu u kojem
je i odrastao. A kako je kao diplomat naučio cijeniti
vrijednost mirnih kvartova izvan glavne gradske vreve
(što se u Hrvatskoj tek sada “na mala vrata” pojavljuje
kao poželjan i kvalitetan model stanovanja), njegov prvi
izbor lokacije bio je jugoistočni, ne prenaseljeni dio grada
iz kojeg se pruža najljepši pogled na splitski akvatorij.

Zemljište obuhvaća nešto manje od 3000 četvornih
metara i jedno je od najskupljih u gradu / The parcel

Stanari najviših katova moći će uživati u vlastitim raskošnim

Lokacija na samome rubu kvartova Žnjan i Pazdigrad,
u neposrednoj blizini hotela “Duilovo”, na brežuljku s
otvorenim pogledom k jugu i moru, bila je idealna za
Madunićev plan o mirnom obiteljskom življenju, iako je
zemljište koje obuhvaća nešto manje od 3000 četvornih
metara, priznaje, bilo jedno od najskuplje plaćenih
u gradu, a cijela se investicija procjenjuje na oko 4,5 milijuna
eura.
Prvotna ideja o gradnji urbane vile s nekoliko stanova za
svoje najbliže, prerasla je ubrzo u projekt šest malih atraktivnih
zgrada od kojih će svaka imati tek tri ili četiri stana,
a koji operativno vodi Madunićeva novoosnovana
tvrtka “Virgula” d.o.o. No, osnovni motiv gradnje ostao
je isti, a taj je – osigurati svojoj obitelji kvalitetno i luksuzno
stanovanje.
– Na ovom prvom projektu ne radim prvenstveno radi
profita, nego da bih napravio kvalitetan i lijep životni
prostor u kojemu će se i moja obitelj i svi ostali stanari
dobro osjećati – naglašava Ante Madunić, otac troje
djece. Najstarije od njih, osamnaestogodišnja kći Marijana,
odlikašica, odlučila je upisati Pravni fakultet, dok
se stariji sin Petar (inače uspješan tenisač) školuje u Školi
za hotelijersko-turistički menadžment. Oboje starije djece
je, dakle, odlučilo krenuti očevim stopama i jednoga
dana nastaviti uspješan obiteljski posao. – Oboje su sa
mnom prošli cijelu diplomatsku karijeru i usvojili iskustva
života u stranim zemljama, različite vrijednosne sustave
i širinu pogleda, pa već sada vidim koliko ih je to oblikovalo
kao ljude – kaže ponosni otac, čiji je najmlađi
sin Marko tek napunio devet mjeseci, no za njega otac
očekuje da će (iako je rođen u Münchenu) imati čvrste
korijene u Splitu.
Cijela obitelj Ante Madunića bila je, na jedan ili drugi
način, vezana uz graditeljstvo, ali slučaj je htio da se
ovaj pravnik tek sada okuša u svome prvom građevnom
pothvatu. Stoga je oko projekta okupio niz stručnjaka
s područja arhitekture i građevine. – Nisam stručnjak
za građevinu, ali znam prepoznati ljude koji kvalitetno
rade, i zato sam odabrao najbolje na tržištu kako bih bio
siguran u ishod. Sve su to ljudi s dugogodišnjim iskustvom
i velikim uspjesima. Primjerice, Vlado Sanader, vlasnik
tvrtke “Brodosplit Inžinjering”, čiji su mi konzalting i prijateljski
savjeti u prvim koracima bili od neprocjenjive vrijednosti,
a koji je napravio izvrstan posao na dogradnji
i adaptaciji hotela “Globo”, zatim Ante Drmić, moj prijatelj
i nadzorni inženjer čija tvrtka ima trdesetogodišnje
iskustvo kao investitor i izvođač, te tvrtka “Šakić” d.o.o.
kao izvođač radova – ističe Madunić.

metru / Announced prices are from 2900 to
3000 euros per square metre
Stanari u prizemlju imat će vlastite vrtove / The groundfloor
tenants will have their own gardens
34
U tom duhu visoke kvalitete, projekt je osmislio jedan
od najcjenjenijih splitskih arhitekata – Neno Kezić, čiji
su radovi poznati po kvaliteti i inovativnome pristupu,
ali i poštovanju nekih sasvim specifičnih mediteranskih
zadatosti. Vile, čija je gradnja nedavno počela, upravo
odražavaju taj mediteranski duh življenja: posebna
je pažnja posvećena otvorenim prostorima, pa će stanari
najviših katova (svaka ima prizemlje i dva kata)
moći uživati u vlastitim raskošnim ozelenjenim terasama
s pogledom na more, na kojima će vjerojatno postojati
i mogućnost gradnje bazena. Kezićev je naum bio
otvoriti pogled što više, pa će i ograde terasa na vrhu
zgrada i ograde balkona na ostalim katovima biti ostakljene.
Usto, stanari u prizemlju imat će vlastite vrtove jer
je između kuća ostavljen “humani” prostor za kretanje,
s prilaznim putevima i vrhunski opremljenim garažama.
I interijeri su osmišljeni s posebnim poštovanjem kvalitete
života: riječ je o stanovima s kvadraturom od 70
do čak 150 četvornih metara, no u kojima prostranost
i udobnost nisu žrtvovane radi “sobe više”, koji će biti
opremljeni najkvalitetnijom opremom – od prvoklasnog
parketa i podnoga grijanja, preko vrhunskih sanitarija
poznatih svjetskih brandova do bešumnih klima-uređaja
i kamina u većim stanovima. Upravo su takvi, raskošno
opremljeni i veliki stanovi danas na tržištu rijetkost jer se
građevinari mahom odlučuju na gradnju više malih stanova
kako bi ostvarili bolji povrat uloženog.
No, zbog takve računice, za one koji od doma žele više
nije ostalo previše izbora. Prema riječima investitora, golemo
zanimanje koje bilježi za stanove čija je gradnja
tek u početnoj fazi (useljenje se predviđa za jesen iduće
godine) potvrđuje da je učinio pravi posao gradeći za
one koji su u mogućnosti platiti više. – Ljudi žele svoje
stambeno pitanje riješiti jednom u životu, kupiti stan koji
će kvadraturom, uređenjem, lokacijom, opremom zadovoljiti
sve njihove potrebe, a mnogi među njima koji
imaju novca da kupe najbolje, jednostavno nemaju
što kupiti. Isprva me i samog iznenadilo toliko zanimanje
potencijalnih kupaca, no shvatio sam da, posebno
u Splitu, ta kategorija ljudi vrlo rijetko nailazi na projekt
koji bi obuhvatio sve njihove zahtjeve – tvrdi Ante Madunić.
A upravo tu tezu, koja tvrdi da ljudi u Hrvatskoj imaju
novca za platiti kvalitetno, a koja je ovdje dobila punu
potvrdu, redovito zastupa i Dubravko Ranilović, vlasnik
agencije za nekretnine “Kastel” i predsjednik Ceha posrednika
u prometu nekretninama pri HGK, čija tvrtka
ima i ekskluzivno pravo prodaje Madunićevih stanova
na Pazdigradu.
Kupce, čini se, ne odbija ni najavljena cijena od 2900 do
3000 eura po četvornome metru. Ta je cijena, objašnjava
investitor, odraz kvalitete projekta ne samo u zamisli
nego i u realizaciji. – Zgrade koje gradimo po svim su
kriterijima vrhunske. Atraktivna lokacija, odabir materijala,
kvaliteta arhitektonskog projekta i izvedbe interijera i
eksterijera, količina životnog prostora i intima malog susjedstva,
prilazni putevi, puna infrastruktura, gradnja škole
i vrtića u blizini, projekt čiji je osnovni uvjet za početak
radova bila “školski” dobivena građevinska dozvola...
sve su to razlozi koji povisuju cijenu, ali jamče najbolje za
kupca. A kupci, mahom moji poznanici iz svijeta poduzetništva,
sporta (Madunić je svojedobno bio i vrhunski
sportaš, op.n.) i diplomacije već su prepoznali o čemu
se ovdje radi, jer je tek manji dio stanova ostao neprodan.
Sudeći prema zanimanju, kupci su željni kvalitetnih
projekata – tvrdi Madunić, najavljujući nakon završetka
gradnje ovih šest vila i novi građevinski projekt vrlo blizu
postojećemu. Na njemu će “Virgula” ponovno primijeniti
iskustva stečena ovdje, u potrazi za kvalitetom, a ne
brzim profitom.
No, “core business” ovoga poduzetnika je hotelijerstvo,
pa će se i u tom smislu dalje razvijati, kroz kupnju ili izgradnju
novoga hotelskog objekta. – Popunjenost hotela
“Globo”, koja je na godišnjoj razini 90 posto, titula najuspješnijeg
poduzetnika 2006. za moju tvrtku “Eurodom
trgovina” koja je vlasnik tog hotela, kao i dubinsko poznavanje
stanja u hotelijerstvu, daju mi za pravo očekivati
da bi i taj novi hotel bio jednako uspješan kao “Globo”,
ako ne i uspješniji. Sa znanjem postojeće ponude u
Splitu te ulaganjima u kvalitetno i educirano osoblje, za
koje sam siguran da je najveća vrijednost dobrog turističkog
posla, ne bojim se konkurencije – zaključuje Ante
Madunić.

Ante Madunić
Entirely private, family reasons have pushed Ante
Madunić, a lawyer with a multi-year career in diplomacy
and economics, to sail into the waters of the
construction business. A two-time consul within the
business management of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs – in
Frankfurt and Zurich, an adviser for foreign investments in
Croatia (especially in the field of tourism), a successful businessmen
and hotelier in Germany with the experience of
running a small family hotel near Munich, and the owner of
the Globo Hotel in Split for the last two years – he has finally
decided, after all those years spent abroad, to afford a
permanent home in his country for his family, and in the
very town he grew up in. And because he learned to appreciate
the value of peaceful neighbourhoods outside of
the city centre’s romp (which is just now starting to appear
“through the back door” as a desirable and top-quality
residential model in Croatia) as a diplomat, his first choice
for the location was the south-eastern, not-overcrowded
35

Investments
part of the city that provides a wonderful view across the
sea in front of Split. The location at the very edge of settlements
Žnjan and Pazdigrad, very near hotel “Duilovo”, on
a slope with the open view over the south and the sea,
turned out to be ideal for Madunić’s plan of the peaceful
family life, although the parcel that takes up just under
3000 square metres was, he will admit, one of the most
expensive ones in the city. The entire investment is estimated
at about 4,5 million euros.
The original idea of building an urban villa with several
apartments for his loved ones soon turned into a project
of six little attractive buildings, each of which will have
only three or four apartments. The project will be handled
by Madunić’s newly formed company “Virgula d.o.o.” .
However, the primary motivation for this construction has
remained the same, and that is – to ensure a quality, luxurious
standard of life for his family.
- I’m not working on this project merely for profit, but rather
to ensure a top-quality, lovely living space in which my
family and all other tenants will feel good – Ante Madunić,
father of three, points out. His oldest child, 18-year-old
daughter Marijana who is an excellent high-school student,
has decided on going to Law School, while his
older son Petar (a successful tennis player, by the way)
is frequenting the School for Hotel-Tourism Management.
Therefore, both older kids have decided to follow into
their father’s footsteps and some day carry on with the
successful family business. – They both went through my
entire diplomacy career with me and have experienced
life in foreign countries, becoming familiar with different
value systems and developing broad views in the process,
so I’m only starting to see how they grew as people
– the proud father says, and we must mention that his
youngest son Marko is only nine months old, and his after
expects him to fully establish his roots in Split (although he
was born in Munich).
The entire Ante Madunić’s family was, in one way or the
other, connected to the construction business, but it
36
turned out that this lawyer hasn’t tested himself in a construction
project until now. Therefore, he has assembled a
string of experts in the fields of architecture and civil engineering
for this project. – I am not a construction expert,
but I do know how to recognize people who are good at
what they do, and that’s why I chose the best ones on the
market so that the outcome wouldn’t be uncertain. All
these people have many years of experience and large
successes in their resumes. For example, there is Vlado
Sanader, who is the owner of the “Brodosplit Inžinjering”
company, whose consulting and friendly advice were invaluable
to me when I just got started, and who also did
a great job while upgrading and adapting the “Globo”
hotel. Then there is Ante Drmić, my friend and supervisory
engineer whose firm has thirty years of experience
at investing and performing, as well as the “Šakić d.o.o.”
company that performs the construction work.
Within that spirit of high quality, the project was designed
by one of the most appreciated architects from Split
– Neno Kezić, whose projects are well-known for their
quality and innovative approach, but also for respecting
some of specific Mediterranean characteristics. The
villas, the construction of which has just started, express
that particular Mediterranean spirit of life: special attention
was given to outdoor spaces, so the tenants on the
highest floors (each building has a ground floor and two
upper floors) will be able to enjoy their own sumptuous
green terraces overlooking the sea, and they will probably
have the option of building their own swimming pools.
Kezić’s idea was to open up the view as much as possible,
so the terrace fences on the highest floor, as well
as balcony fences on the other floors, will be made of
glass. In addition, the ground-floor tenants will have their
own gardens because there was a “human” space created
for walking between the houses, and there are also
driveways and top-equipped garages. Interiors were also
designed with special care for the quality of life: we’re
talking about apartments that have between 70 and as

arhitekata – Neno Kezić / The project was designed

Posebna je pažnja posvećena otvorenim prostorima /
Special attention was given to outdoor spaces
many as 150 square metres, but in which spaciousness
and comfort were not sacrificed to “squeeze in the extraroom”,
and which will feature equipment of the highest
quality – from first-class parquet and floor heating to topnotch
sanitary facilities by famous world brands, as well
as soundless air-conditioners and fireplaces in the majority
of apartments.
Precisely these types of apartments, luxuriously equipped
and large, are a true rarity on today’s market because
construction investors regularly opt for building a bigger
number of smaller apartments in order to achieve a better
refund of their investment. However, that type of calculation
is the reason why those who want more out of
their home don’t have a lot of choice. According to the
investor, there is an enormous amount of interest for these
apartments that are just at the beginning of the construction
process (the moving-in process isn’t predicted before
next year’s fall), and that confirms that he made the right
choice by building for those who have the possibility to
pay more. – People want to solve their housing issue once
and for all, and that means buying an apartment that
will satisfy their needs with its size, decoration, location
and equipment. Many among them have the necessary
money to buy the best, but they simply don’t have anything
to buy. At first, I was also surprised by such interest by
potential buyers, but then I realized that, and this goes especially
for Split, this category of people very rarely finds
a project that would encompass all their demands – Ante
Madunić claims. And it’s that precise premise, which says
that people in Croatia have the money to pay for quality
goods, and which was fully confirmed in this case, that
is regularly advocated by Dubravko Ranilović, owner of
the “Kastel” real estate agency and president of the Real
Estate Business Association within the Croatian Chamber
of Economics. His company also has exclusive rights of
selling Madunić’s apartments at Pazdigrad.
It seems that the buyers aren’t too repulsed with announced
prices that amount to 2900 to 3000 euros per
square metre. That price, the investor explains, is the reflection
of the project’s quality, not only in design but also
in performance. – The buildings we’re constructing are
top-notch in every single criterion. Attractive location,
choice of materials, quality of the architectonic project
and performances in both the interior and exterior, the
amount of living space and the privacy of a smaller neighbourhood,
driveways, full infrastructure, construction of a
nearby school and kindergarten, project that has routinely
received its construction license to signal the start of
the performance… all these reasons make the price go
higher, but they also guarantee that the clients receive
the very best. And the clients, most of them my acquaintances
from the worlds of business, sports (Madunić used
to be a top-class sportsman) or diplomacy, have already
recognized what this is all about, because only a small
number of apartments is still available. Judging by the interest,
the buyers are craving for some quality projects
– Madunić claims, and he also announces a new construction
project after these six villas are completed, and
it will be very similar to this one. That’s where “Virgula”
will apply some of the experiences they gained on this
project, and they will again search for quality, instead of
quick profit.
However, this businessman’s “core business” remains the
hotel business, so he will also keep developing in that direction
through buying or building a new hotel object.
– The fulfilled capacity of hotel “Globo”, which is about
90% on the yearly basis, as well as the title of the most
successful entrepreneur of 2006 for my company “Eurodom
Trade” that owns that hotel, and also the thorough
knowledge of the state of the hotel business that I possess,
have given me belief that this new hotel would be just
as successful as “Globo”, if not more successful. Knowing
the present offering in Split and investing into quality
and educated staff, for which I’m sure is what holds the
biggest value of a good tourism deal, I’m not afraid of
competition – Ante Madunić concludes.

Piše: Aleksandar Vrtariæ
Nažalost, sve donedavno je agenciju za promet
nekretninama mogao otvoriti i voditi doslovno
bilo tko jer djelatnost nije bila zakonski ispravno
regulirana, no u srpnju ove godine, Vlada
RH je napravila korak naprijed i iznijela novi prijedlog
glede agencija za promet nekretnina. Po novom
zakonu, ovim će se poslom moći baviti pojedinci, obrtnici
odnosno trgovci, jedino uz rješenje o ispunjavanju
uvjeta za obavljanje toga posla, a koje će im izdati
Ministarstvo gospodarstva RH. Na osnovi takvih rješenja
Hrvatska gospodarska komora će ih upisati u Registar
posrednika u prometu nekretninama. Jasno, reguliranjem
samog zakona dogodit će se i određeno profiliranje
među agencijama, kojih trenutačno u Hrvatskoj
ima gotovo tisuću, no vrlo je malo onih koje poslove
obavljaju stručno i korektno, uza svu dozu profesionalnosti
i maksimalnu uslužnost. Iako posrednici uglavnom
posluju po visokim europskim standardima, još uvijek je
mnogo i onih koji su daleko od tih standarda. Također,
valja istaknuti kako će novi zakon obavljanje poslovanja
u posredovanju dopuštati samo agentima koji imaju
najmanje srednju stručnu spremu i položen stručni
ispit, koji će također provoditi Gospodarska komora, te
jedan agent neće moći raditi za dvije agencije bez su-
38
glasnosti vlasnika istih. Dakle, obrazovanje
će postati nužna opcija, a agent
za prodaju nekretnina će postati prava
profesija.

komunikativna i susretljiva osoba, sklona stranim

poznavati barem lokalno područje. Nadalje, agent
mora biti ozbiljna i odgovorna osoba koja će s lakoćom
komunicirati s kupcima i prodavateljima, no istodobno
i nenametljiva, pouzdana i, što je vrlo bitno,
uvjerljiva. Posao nije nimalo lagan jer agenti moraju
uvijek biti raspoloživi i nasmiješeni, dok želje kupaca i
prodavatelja nekretnine moraju uvijek biti na prvome

mjestu. Poslove treba obavljati agilno i odgovorno, a
ugovorene pojedinosti prigodom kupoprodaje moraju
biti ispunjene u najkraćem roku. Jasno, o velikom dijelu
brinu i pravnici, no agent je taj koji se mora pobrinuti da
sve protekne u najboljem redu u zadanom vremenu.
Osoba koja obavlja poslove u prometu nekretninama
mora biti znatiželjna i uvijek spremna na nove izazove i
na obrazovanje, odnosno usavršavanje tijekom čitave
karijere. Također, agent mora klijentima uvijek govoriti
istinu i upozoriti na sve postojeće probleme. Iako većina
agenata posreduje u prodajama stambenih kuća
i stanova, malo je onih koji su se specijalizirali za prodaju
određenih tipova nekretnina, primjerice poslovnih
prostora ili zemljišta. Svako područje iziskuje specifično
znanje, stoga je nužno da agent dobro poznaje teren
na kojemu radi i da zna svaku sitnicu vezanu uz pojedinu
lokaciju – od blizine raznih ustanova do organizacije
javnog prijevoza i blizine medicinskih centara. Naravno,
informatička pismenost i dobro poznavanje rada
na računalu su svakako važan preduvjet, s obzirom da
se brojni kontakti i kratke prezentacije prostora često
ostvaruju upravo preko računala.
Kako i gdje se obrazovati?
Oni koji se već godinama bave ovim poslom reći će
kako nijedna škola i tečaj ne mogu zamijeniti deset
godina iskustva i rada na terenu, što je djelomično
točno, no velika je razlika između domaćih agenata
koji su samoinicijativno pokrenuli svoju djelatnost i onih
koji su prije toga prošli odgovarajuću pripremu, odnosno
kvalitetnu edukaciju. Postoje stvari koje su urođene
i koje se ne mogu naučiti, no postoje stvari koje bi
svaki agent morao znati, a to je moguće jedino pravilnim
i organiziranim obrazovanjem. U mnogim stranim
zemljama, škole i tečajevi za agente koji posreduju u
prometu nekretninama postoje već dugi niz godina, a
nakon završetka obrazovanja agenti postaju osobe s
profesionalnim zanimanjem. Na svu sreću, danas je to
moguće i u Hrvatskoj, i to u nekoliko gradova, odnosno
nekoliko ustanova koje organizirano školuju osobe koje
se žele baviti ovim poslom. Programi za osposobljavanje
agenata obično traju oko tri mjeseca, a jedna
od najuspješnijih i najpouzdanijih privatnih obrazovnih
ustanova jest splitsko Suvremeno učilište koje među
ostalim programima nudi i program za osposobljavanje
agenata. Tečaj traje tri i pol mjeseca, a zasnovan
je na predavanju koje provode ugledni predavači prateći
najnovije trendove iz područja nekretnina. Tečaj
se provodi u multimedijalnim učionicama opremljenim
modernim računalima, a program uključuje obrazova-

nje vezano uz osnove gradnje i građevinske standarde,
upoznavanje s poreznim i ostalim zakonima, organiziranje
kupoprodaje te rad s klijentima. Dokaz uspjeha
i profesionalne edukacije su i 800 zadovoljnih agenata
koji su uspješno završili tečaj na ovom učilištu. Osim
splitskoga Suvremenog učilišta, svakako valja istaknuti
i zagrebačko Pučko otvoreno učilište koje nudi sličan
program, ali u trajanju od dva mjeseca. Nužno je napomenuti
i da se završeni tečajevi upisuju u radnu knjižicu,
a odobrilo ih je Ministarstvo znanosti, kulture i športa RH.
Uvjeti za upis na tečajeve su završena srednja škola,
dok je od dokumenata potrebno priložiti svjedodžbu,
rodni list, domovnicu i malu fotografiju. Cijene tečajeva
40
su vrlo pristupačne – ovisno o ustanovi iznose između
3000 i 5000 kuna, što doista nije puno s obzirom da se
radi o zanimanju koje se upisuje u radnu knjižicu. Predavanja
održava i sama Hrvatska gospodarska komora, i
to u Zagrebu, a po potrebi i u ostalim županijskim komorama.
Naravno, za one koji se ozbiljno namjeravaju
baviti ovim poslom i žele maksimalno obrazovanje, na
raspolaganju su i škole u drugim zemljama, no to ima i
svoju cijenu. S obzirom na novi zakon, poslove u prometu
nekretninama moći će obavljati samo osobe s potrebnim
obrazovanjem i stručnim ispitom, stoga hrabro
upišite tečaj i postanite profesionalni agent – svakako
će se isplatiti.

REAL ESTATE AGENT -
Education Equals Success
An agent that negotiates real estate deals must possess certain tendencies and characteristics

deals is a very complex and demanding job that, regardless of the quality of the training

An unfortunate fact is that up until recently, literally
anybody could have opened and led a real
estate agency because this business branch
was not properly legally regulated, but since
July of this year, the Croatian Government has made a
step in the right direction and came up with a new preposition
regarding real estate agencies. According to the
new law, performing this job will be allowed only to businessmen
or traders who have a certificate that proves
that they’re fulfilling the conditions necessary for this profession,
and that will be issued to them by the Croatian
Ministry of Economics. Based on these certificates, the
Croatian Chamber of Economics will put their names into
the Register of Real Estate Negotiators. Naturally, merely
by regulating the law itself, certain order will be restored
among these agencies that currently mount up to about
a thousand in Croatia, but there are very few of those
that handle their business expertly and properly, with all
the professionalism and maximum complaisance that it
requires. Although negotiators mainly do business in line
with the high European standards, there are still plenty of
those who are far away from these standards. Also, we
must point out that this new law will allow performing this
negotiating job only to those agents who have gradu-

can’t be done by just about anybody, at least successfully
and professionally. The person that plans on becoming
a serious agent must, first of all, be a communicative
and sociable person, with good knowledge of foreign
languages, team work and cooperation, and must be
very familiar with at least the local area. Furthermore,
the agent must be a serious and responsible person that
will easily communicate with buyers and sellers, but at
the same time be unassuming, reliable and, very importantly,
convincing. This is not an easy job because the
agents always have to be in a good mood and have
smiles on their faces, while the wishes of the real estate’s
sellers and buyers must always come first. Business deals
should be performed with agility and responsibility, and
42
the agreed-upon details should be fulfilled in the shortest
amount of time possible. Naturally, a large part of the
work is preformed by lawyers, but the agent is that person
who makes sure that everything goes according to plan
within an agreed period of time. A person that performs
these real estate jobs must be curious and always willing
to take on new challenges and education, because you
must strive for perfection throughout your entire career.
An agent also must always tell his clients the truth and
warn them about all existing problems. Although most of
the agents negotiate purchases of residential houses and
apartments, there aren’t many of those who specialize
themselves in selling certain types of real estate, such as
business premises or parcels. Every area requires specific
expertise, and it is therefore necessary for the agent to
be very familiar with his turf and to have knowledge of
every tiny thing attached to a certain location – from the
proximity of various establishments to organizing public
transport and the proximity of medical centres. Naturally,
computer literacy and knowing your way around a computer
are certainly important conditions to fulfil, considering
that numerous contacts and real estate’s short presentations
are often preformed over computers.
Educating Yourself – How and Where?
Those who have been in this business for years will tell you
that no school degree or completed course can replace
ten years of experience and working on the turf, which is

Informatička pismenost i dobro poznavanje rada na računalu su važan
preduvjet, s obzirom da se brojni kontakti i kratke prezentacije prostora često ostvaruju
preko računala / Computer literacy and knowing your way around a computer
are certainly important conditions to fulfil, considering that numerous contacts
and real estate’s short presentations are often preformed over computer
partly true, but there is a big difference between those local
agents who have taken the initiative to start their own
business by themselves and those who have, prior to that,
went through the adequate preparation and quality education.
There are things that are inborn and can’t be
learned, but there are also things that every agent should
know, and that are possible only if you apply yourself to
proper and organized education. Many foreign countries
have featured schools and courses for real estate
agents for a large number of years, and these people
became professionals in this field after completing that
education. Fortunately, that is now also possible in several
Croatian cities that feature institutions with organized
education for those who want to become involved in this
business. The agents’ training programmes usually last
about three months, and one of the most successful and
reliable private educational institutions is the Contemporary
Education Centre in Split that, among many other
programmes, also features a training programme for real
estate agents. The course is held over three and a half
months, and it is based on the lectures that are provided
by respected teachers that follow the newest trends
from the real estate business. The course is being held in
multi-media classrooms that are equipped with modern
computers, and the programme includes learning about
the basis of civil engineering and construction standards,
becoming familiar with tax laws and other laws, as well
as learning how to organize ownership transfers and work
with clients. The proof of success and the education’s
professionalism lies within 800 satisfied agents who have
successfully completed this centre’s course. Besides the
Contemporary Education Centre in Split, we must also
certainly point out the Open University in Zagreb, which
offers a similar programme that lasts merely two months.
It must be mentioned that all these completed courses
will be registered into your work certificate, and they
have been approved by the Ministry of Science, Culture
and Sports. The required conditions for these courses are
completed high-school education, while the required
documents include school reports, birth certificate,
nationality certificate and a small photograph. These
courses’ prices are very accessible – depending on the
institution, they come between 3000 and 5000 kunas,
and that’s really not that much when you consider that
these occupations are registered into your work certificate.
The lectures are also held at the Croatian Chamber
of Economics in Zagreb, as well as in other county
centres if necessary. Naturally, for those who have a
serious intention of getting into this business and want
maximum education, there are schools in other countries
that are available, but that also has its own price.
Considering the new law, real estate deals will have to
be preformed by those people that possess necessary
education and have passed the professional exam, so
bravely plunge into this course and become a professional
agent – it is bound to be worth it.

Pitomi zeleni otok Lastovo zaštitni je znak odmora
u društvu s netaknutom prirodom. Na tom otoku
umočenom u plavetnilo jadranske pučine i
optočenom nizom srebrnih otočića, uživa se u
tisućljetnoj kulturi i vrhunskoj gastronomskoj ponudi. Još
su helenski državnici, rimski senatori i austrijski carevi pili
maslinovo ulje s Lastova. Za one koji život znaju živjeti punim
plućima, kojima ne smeta zvuk tišine, ovaj otok je
idealno mjesto za odmor.
Arhipelag Lastovo čini 46 otoka i grebena, ukupne površine
56,2 četvorna kilometra. Nalazi se južno od otoka
Korčule i 60 nautičkih milja od rta Gargano s talijanske
strane Jadrana. Glavni otok Lastovo površine je 46,9 četvornih
kilometara i četrnaesti je otok po veličini u Jadranskome
moru.
Uz Mljet, Lastovo je najšumovitiji hrvatski otok, koji posjeduje
sve karakteristike mediteranskog podneblja. Ovdje
su zime vlažne, a ljeta sušna, duga i topla. Lastovo je
jedan od deset rajskih vrtova Sredozemlja koji se nalazi
na popisu Svjetske naklade za prirodu (WWF).
Već je sredinom 10. stoljeća bizantski car Konstantin
VII. Porfirogenet spominjao Lastovo, iako se prve važne
napomene o ovom otoku vežu uz događanja u 1000.
godini. Kao što je opisao Ivan Đakon (Johannes Diaconus)
u svojemu djelu “Chronicon Venetum”, venecijski
dužd Pietro Orseolo II. je tijekom svojeg upada u Dalmaciju
uništio utvrdu i grad na Lastovu kao odmazdu za
pljačkaške napade na venecijske trgovce. Time je htio
zaštititi slobodan prolaz u Mediteran. U iduća dva i pol
stoljeća Lastovo je palo u zaborav. Stanovnici su se posvetili
poljoprivredi i stočarstvu zanemarivši svoju pomorsku
tradiciju. Sredinom 13. stoljeća (1252.-1254.) Lastovo
se samovoljno priključilo Dubrovačkoj Republici nakon
što je ona obećala stanovnicima da će moći zadržati
svoje tradicionalne običaje. Tijekom 16. stoljeća Lastovo
je odolijevalo Turcima, do 18. stoljeća i ulcinjskim gusarima,
ali i Francuzima, vojskovođi Napoleonu, te bečkoj
vojsci i, na kraju, talijanskoj. Talijanska okupacija Lastova
1918. bila je posljedica tajnoga Londonskog ugovora,
potpisanog 1915. između Italije i Antante. Prema Rapalskom
ugovoru iz 1920., Kraljevina Italija je sebi pripojila
Lastovo i uključila ga u zadarsko okružje. Za talijansku
vlast nad Lastovom bilo je značajno gušenje narodnog
identiteta, porast broja stanovništva, ubrzana gradnja
i poboljšanje životnog standarda. Talijanska vlast nad
otokom je završila 1943. kapitulacijom Italije.
Danas otok Lastovo još zovu i carskim otokom, kako su
ga nekada zvali Rimljani, zbog brojnih polja, bujnih šuma,
prekrasnog vijenca otočića i hridi koje ga okružuju, te bezbrojnih
skrovitih uvala i obilja morske ribe. Kako Lastovo

pripada najjužnijoj otočnoj skupini u južnoj Dalmaciji, zbog
svoje udaljenosti djeluje pomalo osamljeno. Dugačak je
10 kilometara i širok tek 5,8 kilometara. Glavno mjesto na
otoku je Lastovo koje se smjestilo na uzvisini podalje od
mora, a odlikuju ga brojne kamene kuće.
Zbog svoje netaknute prirode, čistog okoliša i impresivnog
podmorja, ovaj je otok odlukom Sabora RH 2006.
proglašen – Parkom prirode. Prema posljednjem popisu
stanovništva iz 2001., na otoku živi 835 Lastovljana, od
čega samo mjesto Lastovo broji 451 stanovnika. No, broj
koji se stalno ponavlja i za koji je otok vezan jest broj:
46. Toliko Lastovo, naime, ima nastanjenih otočića, na
njemu je 46 crkvica (kapelica), a i toliko uzvisina ili brežuljaka
i jednako toliko ravničarskih dolova (obrađenih
polja s maslinama, voćem i vinovom lozom). Svojim isturenim
položajem na Jadranu i brojnim uvalama, otok je
vrlo atraktivan nautičarima, a ronioci zasigurno imaju što
razgledati u okolnom podmorju. Lastovo obiluje brojnim
ribljim vrstama, školjkama i rakovima, a jastog je jedan
od najomiljenijih specijaliteta, posebno turistima. Osim
toga turistima je dragocjena informacija da se odmaraju
daleko od industrijske civilizacije, u okružju tradicionalne
mediteranske arhitekture. A koga ne bi oduševilo
46
kristalno čisto more, mir i spokoj netaknute prirode?
Ipak, turizam se na otoku jače počeo razvijati tek nakon
proglašenja nezavisnosti Republike Hrvatske 1991. godine.
Razlog tome je jugoslavenski vojni režim koji je zabranjivavo
pristup strancima, te je zajedno s otokom Visom
bio “zabranjeno voće” za strane turiste.
Danas mnogi od njih već znaju za tradicionalnu svečanost
u veljači, na Pokladni utorak, koji domaći zovu Lastovski
poklad. Tada se s obližnjeg brijega Pokladareve
Grže prema moru, na 300 m dugom konopu, spušta lutka
uz istodobne eksplozije petardi obješenih na noge Pokladu.
Prije samog spaljivanja lutke, pokladari i maškare
obilaze kuće utjecajnijih ljudi gdje im pjevaju: Eviva nam
kumpanija, poša nam je alavija. U kolovozu mnogi posjećuju
i jazz festival. Zabava za mlade svodi se na nekoliko
simpatičnih kafića i jedan diskoklub, tako da je ponuda
otoka više usmjerena obitelji, zaljubljenim parovima, a
zbog blagih zima i starijoj životnoj dobi. Ljeti se nude tečajevi
ronjenja, fish-piknik izleti na obližnje otoke, ribolov,
trecking planinarenje, razgled otoka na biciklima.
Mjesto Lastovo je najveće i jedno od najljepših starih naselja
na Jadranu. Cijelo naselje je zaštićeni kulturni spomenik
zbog svoje jedinstvene renesansne arhitekture i

pogleda s mora i nalazi se u unutrašnjosti, što je dokaz o
burnoj prošlosti i gusarskoj aktivnosti.
Odmah ispod mjesta Lastova je Lučica, mala uvala u
kojoj su stare kamene ribarske kućice i vezovi za brodice.
Iz Lastova putevi vode do Skrivene Luke na jugu otoka,
koja je zbog svoga oblika idealna za nautičare.
Ta velika uvala zaštićena je sa svih strana od mora i vjetra,
te skriva mir i tišinu i predivnu prirodu, idealna je za
odmor, kupanje i istraživanje bogatog podmorja. Tu je i
najstariji austrougarski svjetionik na Jadranu, koji se uzdiže
na visokoj strmoj litici i svojim svjetlom sigurno navodi
brodove.
Zaklopatica je još jedna prirodna uvala vrijedna spomena,
tri kilometra prije Lastova. Dobila je ime po otočiću
koji zatvara uvalu. Danas je Zaklopatica poznata po vrhunskim
konobama koja su obvezna meta stranih nautičara
kada uplovljavaju u hrvatske vode. Južno od otoka
je arhipelag Lastovnjaci, satkan od 46 otočića, a još južnije
su Vrhovnjaci, skup škoja i hridi vulkanske aktivnosti
što okomito izranjaju iz velikih dubina. Na nekim od tih
otočića su pješčane uvale idealne za piknik i kupanje.
Trajektna luka je u Ublima, malom obalnom mjestu koje
je udaljeno od Lastova 10 kilometara. U blizini Ublija je
turistička zona otoka smještena na Pasaduru, odnosno
uski prolaz preko kojeg prolazi mali most koji veže Lastovo
s drugim otokom – Prežbom. Do Lastova se može iz
Splita autom s velikim i udobnim brodom Jadrolinije koji
plovi svaki dan. Putovanje traje oko pet sati. Katamaran
je brži oblik prijevoza za pješake, a put traje oko 2,5 sata.
U ljetnim mjesecima postoji izravna veza s Italijom dva
put tjedno katamaranom. Do Splita se može doći avionom,
željeznicom, brodom ili autocestom.
S jedne i druge strane mosta u turističkoj zoni smještena
je većina privatnog smještaja na otoku, a tu je i jedini
hotel Solitudo te ronilački klub i nekoliko restorana. Hotel
Solitudo je jedinstven primjer sklada arhitekture i prirode.
Izvrsno uklopljen u gustoj borovoj šumi na samom moru s
vezovima za jahte. Hotel je izgrađen osamdesetih godina
prošloga stoljeća i ima dugu i bogatu povijest bavljenja
turizmom na otoku. Nedavno je kompletno uređen
i sada nudi prekrasne sobe i apartmane s balkonima
koji gledaju na more. Bujna borova šuma i kristalno čisto
more daju posebnu draž ovome mjestu, koje svakako
zaslužuje da bude posjećeno. Lastovo je, doista, posljedni

The Last Mediterranean Paradise
The island of Lastovo is ideal place for peaceful relaxation, far away from touristic

years, as well as an amazing gastronomic offering

little bay with archaic stone fishermen houses and boat moorings
The tame green island of Lastovo is the trademark
of a vacation accompanied by untouched nature.
On this island dipped into the blueness of the
Adriatic Sea and decanted with a string of little
silver islands, you can enjoy a culture that goes back
a thousand years, as well as an amazing gastronomic
offering. Even old Hellenic statesmen, Roman senators
and Austrian emperors have used Lastovo’s olive oil. For
those who are capable of living life to the fullest and
who are not afraid of the sound of silence, this island is
the ideal place for a vacation.
Archipelago Lastovo is comprised of 46 islands and ridges,
and they take up 56,2 square kilometres of overall
surface. It is located south of the island of Korčula and
48
about 60 nautical miles from Cape Gargano on the Italian
side of the Adriatic. The main island Lastovo has 46,9
square kilometres of surface and it is the fourteenth largest
island in the Adriatic Sea.
Along with Mljet, Lastovo is the most forested Croatian
island, and it owns all the standard characteristics of the
Mediterranean area. The local winters are rainy, and
the summers are dry, long and warm. Lastovo is one of
the ten “paradise” gardens of the Mediterranean that
make up the list of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
It was as early as mid-tenth century that Byzantine Emperor
Constantine VII. Porfirogenet mentioned Lastovo,
although the first major references of this island were
connected to the events of the year 1000. As described

y Ivan Đakon (Johannes Diaconus) in his book “Chronicon
Venetum”, the Venetian doge Pietro Orseolo II. has,
during his attack on Dalmatia, destroyed Lastovo’s town
and fortress as means of revenge for the pirate attacks
on Venetians merchants. He did that to protect his free
passage into the Mediterranean. Over the next two and
a half centuries, Lastovo has fallen into the background.
The residents have dedicated themselves to agriculture
and cattle breeding, ignoring their nautical tradition
along the way. In the middle of the thirteenth century
(1252-1254), Lastovo has volunteered to join the Dubrovnik
Republic after its residents were promised to be
able to hold on to their traditional customs. During the
16th century, Lastovo resisted the Turkish attacks, and
by the eighteenth century, they had to deal with the
pirates from Ulcinj, the French with their leader Napoleon,
the Austrian army and, eventually, the Italians as
well. The Italian occupation of Lastovo was the result of
the secret London Pact, signed by Italy and Antanta in
1915. According to the Treaty of Rapallo from 1920, the
Italian Kingdom annexed Lastovo and included it into
their Zadar Region. The Italian control of Lastovo was
characterized by a significant amount of suffocating
the national identity, as well as the increased population
number, rapid construction and improved standard
of living. The Italian control over Lastovo ended in 1943
when Italy capitulated.
These days, the island of Lastovo is also referred to as
“the imperial island”, as the Romans called it in the old
days because of numerous fields, sumptuous forests, a
beautiful wreath of little islands and cliffs that surround
it, and numerous hidden lagoons and an abundance
of sea fish. Because Lastovo belongs to the most-south
island group in southern Dalmatia, its distance gives it a
certain lonesome dimension. The island is 10 kilometres
long and just 5,8 kilometres wide. The largest little town
on the island is Lastovo, located on a hill away from the
sea, and it is marked by numerous stone houses.
Because of its untouched nature, clean environment
and impressive underwater life, this island was declared
a park of nature by the Croatian Parliament in 2006.
According to the last population census in 2001, there
are 835 people living on the island, 451 of which live in
the town of Lastovo. However, the number that keeps
repeating itself when it comes to this island is: 46. That’s
how many inhabited islands there are in Lastovo, and
there are also 46 little churches (chapels), as well as hills
or slopes and lowland valleys (farm fields with olives, fruit
and wine grapes). With its advanced position on the
Adriatic and its numerous bays, the island is very attractive
to nautical people, and the divers have an awful
lot to look at in the surrounding underwater world. Lastovo
is swarming with numerous fish species, shellfish and
crabs, and the lobster is one of the main local specialties,
especially to tourists. Besides that, tourists are most
drawn to the fact that they are relaxing far away from
industrial civilization, surrounded by traditional Mediterranean
architecture. And who wouldn’t be thrilled by
the crystal-clear sea, as well as the peace and quiet of
untouched nature?
Still, it wasn’t till the Republic of Croatia declared its
independence in 1991 that the island’s tourism really

Adventure
Lastovo
started to flourish. That is because the Yugoslav military
regime forbade foreigners from coming to this island,
which made it “forbidden fruit” for foreign tourists along
with the island of Vis. These days, many of them already
know about the traditional festivity in February, the Carnival
Tuesday, which is called the Lastovo Carnival by
locals. That’s when you’ll find a dummy being lowered
on a 300-metre rope from the near-by hill Pokladareve
Grže towards the sea, with simultaneous explosions from
firecrackers that are attached to its legs. Before the very
process of burning the dummy, masked people and
carnival participants visit homes of the more influential
people on the island and sing local songs and chants.
Come August, many also visit the local jazz festival. Entertainment
for young people is limited to several likeable
coffee shops and one disco-club, so the island’s offering
is much more aimed towards families, couples in love
and, due to mild winters, elderly people. In the summer
you can test yourself in diving courses, fish-picnic trips
to near-by islands, fishing, “trecking” mountain climbing,
as well as sightseeing the island on bicycles. The town of
Lastovo is the largest and it’s one of the most beautiful
older settlements on the Adriatic. The whole settlement
is a protected cultural monument due to its unique renaissance
architecture and amphitheatric way of constructing.
The town can’t be seen from the sea as it is located
inland, which is further proof of the turbulent past
and pirate activity.
Right below the town of Lastovo, there is a place called
Lučica, little bay with archaic stone fishermen houses
and boat moorings. When you leave the town of
Lastovo, you can head to Skrivena Luka (“hidden port”)
on the south of the island, which has an ideal shape for
nautical people. This large bay is protected from the sea
and the wind from all sides, and it features hidden peace,
quiet and wonderful nature, which makes it ideal
for resting, swimming and exploring the rich underwater
world. That’s where you can also find the oldest Austro-
Hungarian lighthouse on the Adriatic, as it ascends on a
tall steep cliff and guides all ships to safety with its light.
Zaklopatica is another natural bay worth mentioning,
Zaklopatica
and it’s located three kilometres ahead of Lastovo. It received
its name after a little island that closes in on the
bay. These days, Zaklopatica is renowned for its fantastic
taverns, which are a true “must see” for all foreign sailors
as they enter Croatian waters. South of the island, you
can find an archipelago called Lastovnjaci, comprised
of 46 little islands, and you will find Vrhovnjaci as you go
even further south, and that’s a group of ridges and tiny
islands that vertically rise from the deep sea and that
have some volcanic activity. Some of those tiny islands
feature sand beaches that are just ideal for picnics and
swimming.
The ferryboat harbour is located in Ubli, which is a small
coastal place about 10 kilometres from Lastovo. Near
Ubli, you can find the island’s tourist zone located in Pasadur,
as well as a narrow passage that features a small
bridge that connects Lastovo to another island – Prežba.
Lastovo can be reached from Split, bringing your car in
tow, with a large and comfortable “Jadrolinija” ship that
is active every day. The travel takes up about five hours.
A catamaran represents faster means of transport
for people without cars, as the trip lasts merely 2,5 hours.
During the summer months, there is a direct connection
to Italy that is provided by a catamaran that travels two
times a week. Split can be reached by plane, railroad,
ship or highway.
Most of the island’s private accommodation is located
in the tourist zone on both sides of the bridge, and that’s
where you can find the “Solitudo” hotel (only one on the
island), as well as the divers’ club and several restaurants.
Hotel “Solitudo” is a unique example of harmony between
architecture and nature. It is wonderfully adjusted to
the thick pine forest at the very coast with some yacht
moorings. The hotel was built in the 1980s and it has a
long, rich history of carrying the island’s tourism industry.
It has recently been completely redecorated and it now
features wonderful rooms and apartments with balconies
that overlook the sea. A sumptuous pine forest and the
crystal-clear sea give special charm to this place, and
they certainly deserve a visit from everybody. Lastovo is
truly the last Mediterranean paradise.

Prije nekoliko mjeseci u Rijeci je otvoren Tower centar,
jedan od najvećih trgovačkih centara u Europi.
Na petom katu toga objekta, koji će uskoro dobiti i
10-ak multiplex kino i konferencijskih dvorana, smjestio
se oku vrlo zanimljiv ugostiteljski lokal – Tower restaurant&bar
koji će osim svoga kičastoga izgleda, koji hvale
mlađi naraštaji, zadovoljiti i ponudom na jelovniku.
– Tower centar je definitivno promijenio navike shoppinga
za ljude iz ovih krajeva i dijelova Hrvatske koji gravitiraju Rijeci.
Ovdje su prisutni svi najveći trgovački brandovi i svatko
će naći nešto za sebe i bez problema ostajući cijeli dan u
Centru, od golemoga supermarketa preko raznih prodavaonica
odjeće, obuće, zatim ugostiteljskih objekata do,
uskoro, kina na “našem” katu. Na vrijeme smo prepoznali
dobru investiciju te s ovim i prije otvorenim self service i fastfood
restoranom Food city uokvirili ugostiteljsku ponudu na
petom katu – rekao nam je izvršni direktor Marin Brajković.
Vlasnik Tower R&B-a, riječki je poduzetnik Zoran Maržić, koji
već otprije dobro poznaje Studio Randić-Turato, pa je arhitekte
angažirao i za ovaj projekt. Ovaj ugledni dizajnerski
dvojac, koji je dobio brojne nagrade svoje struke, ponovno
je odradio sjajan posao, kojim su zadovoljni i vlasnik i gosti.
Ovdje je riječ o svojevrsnoj manipulaciji kiča, kombinaciji
raznih boja i dezena.
– Želja nam je bila napraviti restoran drukčijeg koncepta
od naviknutog na ovim područjima, a opet primjerenog
podneblju i prostoru trgovačkog centra. Upravo tom različitošću
dizajna interijera, gosti mogu osjetiti razliku od
“klasičnih” lokala. Opet, nismo izmišljali toplu vodu, jer je
ovakav “moderni kič” ili “trash” trend izvan granica naše
zemlje. Vodili smo se i mišlju da osim dizajna interijera lokal
mora pratiti i odgovarajuća ponuda hrane i pića – kazao
nam je Maržić, te dodao kako su gosti vrlo zadovoljni egzotičnim
izborom hrane na njihovu jelovniku.
Kuhinja je zapravo spoj međunarodnih kuhinja. Na jelovniku
možete birati između kineskih, meksičkih, indijskih, talijanskih
specijaliteta, ali i klasičnih jela iz našeg podneblja.
Bez obzira jeste li zaljubljenik u meksičke tacose, fajite i burritose
ili pak više preferirate razne salate, piletinu u slatkom
umaku, tjesteninu od riže s brancinom, možda ipak razne
vrste bifteka i ramsteka u raznim umacima, razna jela s ribom
ili slastice, ovdje ćete naći sigurno nešto za svoje nepce.
Svakako treba naglasiti da će sladokusci, poglavito
oni koji obožavaju sladoled, doći na svoje.
Naime, Tower R&B priprema svoj sladoled, a gosti ga mogu
birati sami kroz staklenu vitrinu slastičarnice, te ga doslovno
uzimati s vitrina gdje u pozadini slastičarka upravo radi sladoled.
– Za sladoled koristimo najkvalitetnije baze talijanske tvornice
Mec3, a zaista imamo velik izbor okusa – pohvalio se
Brajković, te nam rekao kako je jelovnik u restoranu osmislio
Boris Urem, direktor ugostiteljstva u njihovoj grupaciji, koji
ima glavnu riječ u kuhinji i koji svoje bogato iskustvo stečeno
dugogodišnjim radom u našoj zemlji i izvan nje prenosi
na svoje suradnike.
U kupnju i uređenje lokala utrošeno je
1,2 milijuna eura / It was invested about
1,2 million euros into the purchasing
and decorating the restaurant

Raznovrsna hrana bogatog kolorita /
Various meals filled with rich colours
Neki gosti, osupnuti uređenjem lokala, čiji izgled ne
mogu obuhvatiti u samo jednom pogledu, mišljenja su
da ovdje caruju previsoke cijene usluge, ali oni odvažni
razuvjerit će se, jer su cijene umjerene, čak i preniske za
ovaj tip restorana.
Osim izgleda lokala, goste iznenadi i njegova površina od
245 četvornih metara plus još 90 kvadrata netipične terase
u Centru koja se nalazi uz prolaz šetača, kupaca.
– U kupnju i uređenje lokala utrošeno je 1,2 milijuna eura,
što nije mala investicija, ali nije se štedjelo i sada imamo
rezultat. Recimo, stolovi, stolice, fotelje, separei, drveni
ormari i slično izrađeni su po narudžbi po projektu Randić-Turato,
a sve od različitih vrsta kvalitetnog drva, kože
i inoksa. A naravno da je i opremanje slastičarnice bilo
zahtjevno jer je opremljena najmodernijim strojevima za
proizvodnju sladoleda – ističe vlasnik Maržić.
Iako je teško izdvojiti najljepši dio lokala, ističe se dio
sa separeima uz veliku staklenu stijenku, s čijeg se povišenog
mjesta mogu vidjeti otoci Kvarnerskog zaljeva
i grad Rijeka, što će oduševiti i naizbirljivijega gosta. A
gosti ovog restorana su moderna i urbana populacija
54
srednjih godina, no ima tu i brojnih poslovnih ljudi i često
stranaca koji se nađu u Centru. Tko god da se ovdje
zatekne, uživat će uz glazbu lounge tipa. A naši sugovornici
potvrđuju da će nakon otvorenja kinodvorana
i dolaska mlađe populacije glazba u večernjim satima
biti bliža tim godinama.
Ambijent lokala uvelike se promijeni u večernjim satima
kada se osvjetljenje velikih lustera zamrači, te primat
preuzmu projektori na videozidovima prikazujući razne
vizualne efekte. Vlasnik se ne libi primiti i poneku sugestiju
gostiju koji žele idejama pomoći za što bolju atmosferu.
Ovaj stil modernog kiča, spoj je starog i novog. Tako s
otvorenih techno stropova s vidljivim cijevima ventilacije
vise barokni kičasti lusteri. Prostor dodatno obogaćuju
projektori i videozidovi te disko-kugle i laseri. Crne mozaik
pločice na podu, ljubičaste i crno-sive tapete na zidovima
slastičarnice, odnosno kuhinje, privlače pažnju,
kao i zlatni okviri, atraktivni separei i fotelje u imitaciji kravlje,
zmijske i krokodilske kože. Sve to ovom prostoru daje
dimenziju nečeg novog i apsolutno drukčijeg.

KITSCH MANIPULATION
The cuisine of Tower R&B is a combination of international cuisines. Therefore,
the menu offers you a choice between Chinese, Mexican, Indian and Italian specialties,

Several months ago, Rijeka witnessed the opening
of the Tower Centre, which is one of the largest
shopping centres in Europe. At the fifth floor
of that object, which is soon to boast about ten
multiplex cinemas and conference halls, we find a restaurant
object that is very interesting to the eye – the
Tower Restaurant&Bar that will, besides its “kitsch” appearance
that is praised by the younger generations,
also satisfy everyone with its menu offering.
- Tower Centre has definitely changed shopping habits
for people from this area and parts of Croatia that gravitate
towards Rijeka. All the largest commercial brands
are present here and everybody will find something for
themselves, while having no problems with spending the
entire day at the Centre, starting with a huge supermarket
all the way to various stores for clothes and footwear,
as well as restaurant objects and, in a little while, cinemas
at “our” floor. We have recognised a good investment
in time and, combined with this and the alreadyopened
self-service and fast-food restaurant Food City,
56
we have rounded up the restaurant service on the fifth
floor – says Executive Manager Marin Brajković.
The owner of Tower R&B is Zoran Maržić, a businessman
from Rijeka who was already familiar with Studio Randić-
Turato, so he hired those architects for this project as well.
This respectable designer duo, many times awarded by
their peers, has once again done a wonderful job, much
to the satisfaction of both the owner and the guests.
What we’re talking about here is a certain degree of
kitsch manipulation, as well as a combination of various
colours and patterns.
- It was our ambition to come up with a restaurant that
has a different concept than what we’re used to see
in this area, but also to make sure that it’s adequate
to the atmosphere and the space of a shopping centre.
It’s precisely that difference in interior design that
separates this place from other “classic” establishments
in the guests’ eyes. Then again, we made no attempts
to invent hot water, because this “modern kitsch” or
“trash” is very trendy outside of our country’s borders.

Na meniju
ima za svakog
ponešto / The
menu has a little
something for
everyone
We also made sure that, besides the interior design, the
restaurant features an adequate offering of food and
beverages – Maržić tells us, adding that the guests are
mighty pleased with the exotic choice of food on their
menu.
The cuisine is actually a combination of international cuisines.
Therefore, the menu offers you a choice between
Chinese, Mexican, Indian and Italian specialties, but
also features some classic meals from our area. Regardless
of whether you’re a lover of Mexican tacos, fajitas
or burritos, or whether you prefer various salads, chicken
in sweet sauce, rice pasta with sea bass, or maybe different
types of beefsteaks and ramsteaks in different
sauces, or even different fishmeals or delicacies, you
are bound to find something that suits your preferences
here. It must be pointed out that lovers of sweets, and
especially those who adore ice cream, will feel right
at home. That’s because Tower R&B makes its own ice
cream, and the guests can choose it themselves through
a glass showcase of the pastry shop, as well as literally
scoop it up from the showcase, while the confectioner
prepares the ice cream in the background.
- We use top-quality bases from Italian factory Mec3
for our ice cream, and we certainly have a large selection
of flavours – Brajković brags, and also says that the
restaurant’s menu was created by Boris Urem, Director
of Catering in their group, who is running things in their
kitchen and has an awful lot of experience, acquired
by years of working in our country and outside of it, to
pass to his associates. Some guests, shocked by how the
bar has been decorated because they can’t absorb its
look with a single gaze, have an opinion that the service
prices are much too high in this establishment, but those
who are brave will be proven wrong because the prices
are actually quite moderate, if not too low, for this type
of restaurant.
Besides how the restaurant looks, the guests are also
surprised by its surface of 245 square metres, plus 90
square metres of an atypical terrace in the Centre,
which is located right next to the aisle filled with customers.
– We invested about 1,2 million euros into the
purchasing and decorating the bar, which is no small
feat, but we weren’t holding back and now we have
a result. For example, tables, chairs, armchairs, booths,
wooden closets and similar things were custom-made
under the project of Randić-Turato, and they were using
various types of quality wood, leather and inox.
And preparing the pastry shop was certainly pretty demanding
too, for it is equipped with the most modern
machines for production of ice cream – owner Maržić
points out.
Although it’s difficult to single out the most beautiful section
of the establishment, the section with booths along
a large glass surface really stands out, as it is located
at an elevated position that overlooks the islands of the
Kvarner Gulf and the city of Rijeka, which is bound to
thrill even the most demanding customer. And this restaurant’s
guests are mostly a modern and urban middleaged
population, but we can also find many businessmen
and many foreigners who find themselves at the
Centre. Whoever it is that winds up being here, they’re
sure to enjoy themselves along the sounds of lounge
music. And the people we talked to confirmed that,
after the cinema theatres are opened and a younger
population arrives, the music at the evening hour will be
much closer to that age group.
The bar’s ambience is very much changed in the
evening as the light, produced by large chandeliers,
very much gets reduced, and the room is then suddenly
dominated by projectors at video-walls that display various
visual effects. The owner is also not above listening
to some of the guests’ suggestions as they try to pinch in
with ideas to create an even better atmosphere.
This modern kitsch style features a combination of the
old and the new. Along those lines, we can find open
techno ceilings with visible ventilation pipes and hanging
chandeliers of kitsch baroque. The room is extra-enriched
by projectors and video-walls, as well as discobowls
and lasers. The black mosaic tiles on the floor and
purple and black/grey wallpapers on the walls of both
the pastry shop and the kitchen are among the things
that are sure to draw plenty attention, as are some golden
frames, attractive booths and armchairs that imitate
cow, snake and crocodile leather. All these features
give this space a dimension of something that is brand
new and absolutely different.

Fine stvari
Džepno bogatstvo
zvano Gresso
Posebno afričko drvo, staro 200 godina, i čisto
zlato gradivni su elementi luksuznoga mobilnog
telefona Gresso iz serije Avantagarde. Izrada je
ručna, ekran je izrađen od safirnoga stakla, tipkovnica
presvučena slojem titana, čak i vijci
su zlatni, a “zvijer” je opremljena operativnim
sustavom Gresso, napravljenim na temelju
standarda Windows Mobile 6. Cijena se kreće
između pet i sedam tisuća eura. Tresu vam
se ruke pri pomisli da biste mogli ležerno nekoga
nazivati s ovakvoga džepnog bogatstva? Znači
da niste ciljani kupac, baš kao ni 99 posto današnjega
čovječanstva.
Mini za izletnike
Najnovije osvježenje iz BMW-ova pogona zove se
Mini Clubman, a na britanskom tržištu pojavit će
se krajem godine.
Još malo više retro
nego ostatak obitelji,
inspiraciju je pronašao
u modelima
iz 60-ih – Traveller,
Countryman i Clubman
Estate, čija
imena dovoljno govore
o namjeni; više
prostora u prtljažniku,
ugodniji prostor
za putnike, inovativno
otvaranje vrata
stvari su koje će
voljeti praktični zaljubljenici
u vječni
model. Clubman, kao ni starija Mini braća, neće biti
među najjeftinijim malim automobilima na tržištu.
A Pocket Fortune
Called Gresso
A special 200-year-old African tree and
pure gold are integral elements to a luxurious
Gresso cell-phone from the “Avantagarde”
series. It is hand-made, the screen
is made from sapphire glass, the keyboard is
covered with a titanium layer, even the bolts
are golden, and “the beast” is equipped with
a Gresso operative system, which was made
on the basis of the Windows Mobile 6 standard.
The price moves around in the range between
5.000 and 7.000 euros. Are your hands shaking
at the very thought of casually calling somebody
with this pocket fortune? If they are, that means
that you’re not within the targeted group of buyers,
just like about 99% of today’s population.
Mini for Picnickers
The newest breath of fresh air that emerged from the
BMW factory is called Mini Clubman, and it is set to
appear on the British market by the end of the year.
Even a little more retro than the remainder of the
family, it has found
its inspiration in the
60s models – Traveller,
Countryman and
Clubman Estate, and
they all have names
that reveal their purpose;
more room in
the trunk, more comfort
for the passengers
and an innovative
way of opening
doors are some of
the things that will enchant
practical lovers
of the eternal model.
The Clubman, much
like the older Mini brothers, will not exactly be among
the cheapest small cars on the market.
Podloga za nomadskog miša
Napravicu koju je osmislila tvrtka Belkin zavoljet će svi nespretni
kompjutoraši nomadi: miš koji
podnosi izlijevanje tekućina (pa i
vrele kave) prikladno se, zajedno
s drugim “gadgetima” bez kojih
se ne može, poput USB sticka i
“starinske” kemijske olovke, sprema
u – podlogu za miša! Sve je
uvijek pri ruci i sigurno od gubljenja
i oštećivanja.

Padding for a
Nomad Mouse
This little device that was designed
by the “Belkin” company will be loved
by all the clumsy computer freaks / nomads:
a mouse that can withstand outpouring
of liquids (even hot coffee) is conveniently, along
with other essential gadgets like the USB stick and
an “archaic” ballpoint pen, tucked away into – a
mouse pad. Everything is right next to you at all times
and it’s safe from being lost or damaged.

Nožiæ investicija
Među “finim stvarima” džepni je
nožić čest gost, što bi valjda
trebalo značiti da ljudi s puno
novca često žive uzbudljiv
život koji uključuje puno boravaka
vani, kampiranja i susretanja s
“elementima”. Pa, ma koliko to bilo
neobično, evo još jednoga s potpisom
Victorinoxa. Serija se zove
Victorija, kolekcija, napravljena u
povodu 120. obljetnice tvrtke, ograničena
je na 120 komada i najekskluzivniji
je nožić ikad proizveden. Oštrice su dijamantno
rezbarene, drška prekrivena s
800 dijamanata, a metal presvučen platinom
ili zlatom. Cijena: do 130.000 “švicaraca”.
Samo za najzagriženije kolekcionare.
Do oraha
sa stilom
Najseksi orašar na svijetu,
kako ga tituliraju
ljubitelji dobroga dizajna,
jednostavan je
valjkasti predmet od
aluminija s elipsastim
prorezom koji ga razdvaja
na dva dijela.
Orah savršeno pristaje
u bilo koju polovicu,
orašar se sastavi, zarotira
i voila! – ukusna
jezgra je oslobođena.
Malo umjetničko djelo
s uporabnom vrijednošću potpisuje dizajner
Christopher Kuh.
Stalna veza
s kišobranom
Ako ste od onih koji mrze kopati po
hrpi mokrih kišobrana u stalcima kafića
i restorana u potrazi za vlastitim
zaštitnikom od kiše, Hironao Tsuboi je
osmislio kišobran od kojega se nećete
morati odvajati. Obdaren laganim, ali
izgledom robusnim stalkom od aluminija
presvučenog plastikom, samostojeći kišobran
japanskog dizajnera dobrodošlo je
osvježenje.
Luxuries
A Pocket Knife as
an Investment
Pocket knives can often be found in our “Luxuries”
section, which would indicate that people
with plenty of money often live an exciting life
that includes lots of outdoor activities, camping
and facing “the elements”. Well, as unusual
as that sounds, here’s another one carrying the
“Victorinox” signature. The name of the series is
Victoria, and it is a collection designed to celebrate
the 120th anniversary of the company.
It is limited to 120 pieces and it is the most exclusive
pocket knife ever produced. The blades
a r e diamond-engraved; the handle is covered with
800 diamonds, while the metal is covered with platinum
or gold. Price: up to 130.000 “Swiss babies”. Only for the
most fanatical collectors.
Reaching
the Nut
with Style
The sexiest nutcracker
in the world, as it is referred
to by lovers of
fine design, is a simple
cylindrical object
made of aluminium,
and it features an oval
slash that separates its
two parts. The nut perfectly
fits into any of the two halves, and the nutcracker
is assembled, rotated and voila! – the tasty
centre is available. This little work of art with plenty
of utility is signed by designer Christopher Kuh.
Constant Connection with
the Umbrella
If you’re one of those people who hate scrapping
through a bunch of wet umbrellas in racks placed in
coffee shops and restaurants while you’re looking for
your own rain-protector, Hironao Tsuboi came up with
an umbrella that won’t have to leave your side. Featuring
a light, but robust-looking aluminium rack covered
with plastic, this self-standing umbrella by this Japanese
designer is a much-welcomed refreshment.

Tapas bar u Rijeci / Tapas bar in Rijeka
Povjesničar umjetnosti, dekorativni slikar i dizajner
interijera, školovan u Rijeci i Londonu, u istarskom
gradu Pazinu otvorio je obrt za umjetničko stvaralaštvo
“Heritage” te svojim intervencijama oplemenjuje
prostore starih vila, crkava, ali i drugih stambenih
objekata čiji vlasnici žele jedan drukčiji ambijent, u
kojemu će se osjećati ugodno i posebno. Prakticirajući
pomalo zaboravljene tehnike, poput slikanja murala i al
fresco slikanja, u prošlosti možda više prisutne u sakralnoj
umjetnosti, stvara nesvakidašnja okružja, produhovljujući
prostore svakodnevnog življenja.
S Arsenom Pletencem razgovarali smo o njegovu radu,
Istri i ambijentima koje stvara.
Diplomirali ste povijest umjetnosti i slikarstvo na Odjelu
likovne kulture Filozofskog fakulteta u Rijeci pa otišli u
London na usavršavanje, odnosno studij dekorativnog
slikarstva. Što je, zapravo, dekorativno slikarstvo i što ono
sve obuhvaća?
Najkraće rečeno, dekorativno slikarstvo je primijenjeno
slikarstvo. Dekorativno slikarstvo bavi se sličnim pitanjima
i problemima kojima se susrećemo i u štafelajnom slikarstvu,
samo što kod dekorativnog slikarstva obično radimo
na stotinama puta većim površinama. Druga važna razlika
je u definitivnom smještaju oslikane površine u odnosu
na ostale likovne i ne samo likovne elemente nekog prostora.
Postoji čitav niz dekorativnih slikarskih tehnika koje
nam, zahvaljujući pravom izboru kistova i ostalog alata,
kao i korištenjem posebnih materijala, omogućavaju jednostavnije
postizanje potrebnog efekta na tim velikim
površinama. Nerijetko postoje posebni zahtjevi, kao što
je otpornost na atmosferalije, ili kakvi drugi koje također
treba ispuniti. Tijekom mojega londonskog školovanja detaljno
smo obradili provjerene tehnike, poput raznih načina
postizanja savršenih imitacija različitih vrsta mramora i
drva, zatim pozlaćivanje, vrste patiniranja, kao i mnoge
druge tradicionalne i suvremene tehnike. Devetnaesto
stoljeće smatra se zlatnim dobom dekorativnog slikarstva,
no, po mojemu mišljenju, i danas može biti tako. Suvremena
tehnologija pruža niz novih, divnih mogućnosti,
a potreba ljudi da se razlikuju i istaknu, zajedno s bumom
izgradnje i fenomenalnom informiranošću, pruža izvanredne
mogućnosti da kombinirajući sve potrebno nastaju
visoko vrijedni radovi.
Dekorativno slikarstvo je, dakle, plemeniti zanat za koji se
radi umom, srcem i rukom.
Radite kao dizajner unutrašnjeg uređenja i dekorativni slikar.
Prema prikazima radova na vašemu službenom siteu
(www.arsenpletenac.com), čini se da uglavnom stvarate
rustikalne ambijente. Odražava li to vaš interes, odnosno
senzibilitet, ili je u vezi s narudžbama koje dobivate?
Na to najviše utječu narudžbe koje dobivam. Prve narudžbe
koje sam dobivao bile su na rustikalnim objektima
i crkvama, a tako je, uglavnom, i danas. U svakom pojedinom
projektu pokušavao sam naći ono što bi rezultiralo
ležernim prostorom, a nerijetko je put do toga bio
oslanjanje na stil okoline. Istra, posebno središnja, prilično
pošteđena neprivlačnih novogradnji, puna je prelijepih
primjera, uzoraka, kombinacija, i logično mi je služiti se
njima. Ta me je činjenica dovela do toga da sam se u
potrazi za takvim izgledom sve više vraćao na originalne
tehnike jer se pokazalo nepotrebnim imitirati ono što se
može napraviti “zapravo”. Ipak, radio sam i na više od nekoliko
suvremenih objekata, s vrlo suvremenim formama
i načinima promišljanja interijera i eksterijera, na kojima
se vidi kako dekorativno slikarstvo ni slučajno nije nešto
što se treba povezivati jedino sa starinskim ili rustikalnim.
U takvim prostorima, s posebnim zadovoljstvom koristimo
tradicionalne tehnike bez želje da evociramo bilo koje
drugo vrijeme osim današnjega, i to, usudio bih se reći, s
odličnim rezultatima.

Restoran Dani u Umagu / The restaurant Dani in Umag
Bavite se slikanjem murala i al fresco slikanjem te iluzionističkim
slikarstvom. Koliko je zanimanje za revitaliziranjem
tih pomalo zaboravljenih tehnika i tko su naručitelji
takvih specifičnih zahvata?
Zanimanje za revitaliziranjem se definitivno budi i postaje
sve veće. Najviše zbog toga što je želja za lijepo uređenim,
ugodnim, jedinstvenim, osobnim i zanimljivim prostorima
sve veća. Osim toga, znanja o tome da određeni
dojmovi iziskuju određene tehnike i da se ne mogu
postići uobičajenim dosadašnjim tehnikama, materijalima
ni “savršenim” suvremenim bojama, iz dana u dan
su sve veća. Posebna snaga korištenja takvih tehnika i
prirodnih materijala jest da su provjerene kroz stoljeća
i za njih znamo da s godinama ne gube na kvaliteti,
nego, upravo suprotno, dobivaju “patinu“ te korištenjem
i starenjem izgledaju sve ljepše. Odličan primjer
za to su nova pročelja koja radimo s provjerenim starim
recepturama, kako za žbuku tako i za boju. Obično
tada za bojenje koristimo pigmente lokalne zemlje, ali i
druge zemljane pigmente, što nam osigurava trajnost i
“sretno“ starenje takvog pročelja
Slikanje murala također je nešto što određeni ambijenti
traže. Jer jednostavno, kad vidite prekrasan svod ili zid,
na primjer, u lovranskoj ili korčulanskoj staroj vili, šteta je
ne oslikati ga i na taj način višestruko pridonijeti kvaliteti
prostora, dati mu dimenziju, značenje i sjaj koji zaslužuje.

Danas živite u poetičnom srcu Istre, u blizini Pazina, u kojem
se nalazi i sjedište vašeg “obrta za umjetničko stvaralaštvo”
imena “Heritage”. U samom nazivu sadržana
je referencija, tj. riječ baština, naslijeđe. Koliko vam je
ono važno i koliko utječe na vaš cjelokupni rad?
Izabrao sam to ime zbog toga što želim pridonijeti očuvanju
naše baštine i volio bih da moji radovi budu nešto
što će budući naraštaji željeti sačuvati. Mislim da je nemoguće
izraziti se u potpunosti u suvremenosti ako se ne
oslonimo na naše naslijeđe. Razlog zbog kojeg se obrt
zove “Heritage”, a ne “Baština”, jest i taj što je to ujedno
i ime najdraže ruže moje obitelji i meni.
S druge strane, studirali ste u Londonu, gradu sinonimu
urbanosti, kontrakultura, street styleova u modi i umjetnosti.
Je li London utjecao na vas i gdje je, eventualno,
taj “clash” na relaciji Pazin-London, budući da su oba
ova okruženja morala, barem djelomično, utjecati na
vas kao umjetnika?
Naravno da je život u Londonu uvelike utjecao na mene
kao umjetnika. Mislim da je nemoguće živjeti u Londonu
a da se to ne dogodi. Susreti sa svjetskim slikarskim zvijezdama,
kao i s mnogim drugim zanimljivim ljudima, bezbrojne
vrhunske izložbe, fenomenalan izbor periodike
i literature, susret “uživo” s vrhunskim postignućima dekorativnog
slikarstva, samo je nešto od onoga čega se

ovako na brzinu mogu sjetiti. Utjecaje, također, ne treba
tražiti samo među onima umjetničkima, jer život tamo,
sam po sebi, značajno je utjecao na mene i oblikovao
me u umjetnika i čovjeka kakav sam danas. S druge
strane, središnja Istra, sa svojom izraženom ruralnošću,
ali i odličnim vezama sa svijetom, nije nužno kontrast
Londonu, samo je prostor vrlo posebnog karaktera, a
ta me promjena samo oplemenila. Želja i odluka da
poslije Londona dođemo živjeti u Istru, bila je potpuno
romantične prirode, a ispostavilo se da je upravo Istra
bila najplodnije tlo u Hrvatskoj za moj posao.
Budući da je u posljednjih desetak godina Istra postala
vrlo privlačan prostor za kupnju nekretnina, moglo
bi se reći da je pitanje prestiža imati kuću u Istri, posebice
u unutrašnjosti. Jeste li primijetili da taj trend
utječe na promjenu izgleda područja? Ima li uopće
utjecaja, jer čini se da se baš u srcu Istre poštuje ambijent
i gradi u dosluhu s prirodnim okruženjem. Čini
se da i vaš rad pogoduje takvom promišljanju istarskog
ambijenta?
U središnjoj Istri se već tada osjećao suptilniji pristup
svemu tome i sve sam manje trebao objašnjavati
što je to što ja zapravo radim. Veliki je broj građana
Hrvatske i stranaca koji su svojim vrlo ukusnim preuređivanjem,
gotovo po pravilu u skladu s okolinom,
pokazali odličan primjer i ohrabrili domaće ljude da nastave
tim putem. Izvanredno je kako su stanovnici Istre
reagirali na to. U vrlo kratkom razdoblju dobra rješenja
se prihvaćaju i naširoko koriste. Takva klima meni olakšava
posao. Naručitelji su od početka redovito s velikim
povjerenjem i puni entuzijazma meni ostavljali otvorene
ruke i uživali u rezultatima, i to ne samo u Istri, nego u
cijeloj Hrvatskoj.
Postoje li trendovi u unutrašnjem uređenju danas? Koliko
postoji volja ljudi kod nas da prepuste stručnjaku uređenje
svog intimnog prostora?
Kao u svemu, tako i ovdje postoje trendovi. Koliko god
sam svjestan istih, osobni pristup pri radu mi je najvažniji.
Način na koji ja prilazim uređenju nekog prostora, uvijek
je u dogovoru i potpunoj suradnji s naručiteljima. Pokušavam
naručiteljima pomoći u rafiniranju njihova ukusa.
Moje dizajniranje nije nikada po sistemu “ključ u ruke”,
pri čemu naručitelj na kraju dođe pred potpuno uređen
prostor. Više volim sugerirati, da se napravi bolji umjesto
lošijeg izbora, da se sve zaokruži, uskladi, ujednači, da
upozorim na to u kojem bi smjeru trebalo krenuti, koje su
dobre strane koje treba istaknuti, a koje manje dobre pa
ih treba negirati. Na taj način naručitelji ni ne prepuštaju
drugome da uredi njihov intimni prostor, nego je to rezultat
našega zajedničkog truda.

ARSEN PLETENAC
The Harmony of
Intertwining Old with New
The overall-rustic ambiences, colours of earth, wood, sky, reddish, brown, and
pastel; traces of nature in the rhythm of everyday life, carefully adjusted details
– all of that is found in the decors of Istrian artist Arsen Pletenac

Art historian, decorative painter and interior designer,
educated in Rijeka and London, he has
started a business for artistic creativity “Heritage”,
and has used his interventions to ennoble
the spaces of archaic villas, churches, but also other
residential objects with owners that simply want a different
ambience, in which they could feel comfortable
and special. Practicing slightly forgotten techniques,
such as mural painting and “al fresco” painting, which
were maybe more present in the sacral art of the past,
he creates unusual surroundings and adds spirituality to
everyday-life spaces.
We talked to Arsen Pletenac about his work, Istria and
the ambiences he creates.
You graduated art history and painting at the Art Department
of the Faculty of Philosophy in Rijeka, and then
went to London for specialization and studying decorative
painting. What is, precisely, decorative painting and
what does it encompass?
Long story short, decorative painting is applied painting.
Decorative painting deals with similar issues and problems
that you also encounter in easel painting, but the
difference is that decorative painting works with hundreds-of-times
larger surfaces. The second main difference
is in the definitive location of the painted surface
in relation to other painting and non-painting elements
of a certain space. There is a whole string of decorative-painting
techniques that, thanks to the right choice
of brushes and other tools, as well as usage of special
materials, allows us to achieve the necessary effect on
these large surfaces in an easier way. There are very
often some special demands that we must meet, such
as resisting the atmospherics or something like that. During
my education process in London, we have gone
through many indorsed techniques in great detail, such
as various ways of achieving perfect imitations of different
types of marble and wood, as well as the process
of gilding, types of coating, and many other traditional
and contemporary techniques. The nineteenth century
is considered to be the golden age of decorative
painting, but in my opinion, this period can contribute
just as much. Modern technology gives us so many new,
wonderful options, and the people’s need to make
themselves different and distinguished, along with the
construction boom and a phenomenal level of acquiring
information, provides us with terrific opportunities to
achieve works of very high value by combining all these
elements.
Therefore, decorative painting is a noble craft that is
preformed with the mind, heart and hands.
You’re working as an interior designer and decorative
painter. According to the displayed gallery at your official
website (www.arsenpletenac.com), it seems that
you mostly create rustic ambiences. Does that reflect
your interest and sensibility, or is it more connected to
the orders you receive?
It is mostly influenced by the orders I receive. The first orders
I ever got were on rustic objects and churches, and
it is predominantly like that today as well. In every individual
project, I have always attempted to find something
that would result in a casual space, and more often
than not, the way to achieve that was to rely on the
style of the surrounding. Istria, especially its central part,
is pretty exempt from unattractive new buildings, and is
filled with wonderful examples, samples and combinations,
so it’s only logical to use them. That fact led me
to the conclusion that, while I was searching for such an
image, I was more and more returning to original techniques,
because it was unnecessary to imitate something
that could be accomplished “for real”. Still, I have
worked on more than several modern objects, with very
contemporary forms and ways of designing the interior
and exterior, which clearly show that decorative painting
is certainly not something that is bound to be connected
with the archaic or the rustic. When working in
such spaces, we take special satisfaction in using traditional
techniques without the desire to evoke any other
time besides the present, and we do an excellent job,
if I may add.
You also do some mural painting and “al fresco” painting,
as well as illusionist painting. How big is the interest
to revive those slightly forgotten techniques and who orders
such specific projects?
67

The interest for reviving those things is definitely awakening
and is getting bigger and bigger. Mostly because the
desire for nicely decorated, pleasant, unique, personal
and interesting spaces is getting bigger as well. Besides,
knowledge of the fact that certain impressions require
certain techniques, and that they can’t be achieved
with previous ordinary techniques, materials or “perfect”
modern colours, is also getting bigger by the day. The
special strength of using these techniques and natural
materials is that they have been tested over the course
of centuries and we positively know that they don’t lose
its quality over the years; on the contrary, they receive a
whole new dimension, and growing old and being used
makes them even more beautiful. An excellent example
is provided in the new facades we make with these
tested old recipes, for both the mortar and the paint.
That’s when we usually use pigments of local earth for
painting, but also other “earth” pigments, which enable
us to achieve durability and a “happy” aging process
for such a façade.
Mural painting is also something that certain ambiences
simply ask for. Simply put, when you see a beautiful arc
or wall in an old villa in, for example, Lovran or Korčula,
it’s a pity not to paint because it multiplies the quality of
the space, and gives it the dimension, significance and
flair it deserves.

You live in the poetic heart of Istria these days, just outside
of Pazin, where you also have the headquarters of
your “business for artistic creativity” you named “Heritage”.
That very name contains a reference because it
implies preserving one’s heritage and legacy. How important
is that to you and how much does it affect your
overall work?
I chose that name because I want to contribute to our
heritage being preserved, and I would also love for my
works to become something that future generations
would want to preserve. I think it’s impossible to completely
express yourself in this contemporary world if we
don’t use our heritage as the starting point. The reason
the company’s called “Heritage”, instead of “Legacy”,
is because it’s also the name of my favourite rose, as
well as my family’s.
On the other hand, you graduated in London, which is
a city that is synonymous to urban life, counterculture
and “street style” in fashion and art. Has London had any
effect on you and is there maybe a Pazin-London contrast
in there, because both of those environments must
have, at least slightly, influenced you as an artist?
It’s natural that my period in London influenced me as
an artist. I don’t think it’s possible to live in London and
prevent that from happening. Meetings with the painting
stars of the world, as well as with many other interesting
people, countless top-class exhibits, a phenomenal
choice of periodics and literature, coming “face
to face” with the great accomplishments of decorative
paintings – all this is just something that I can recall in
this quick manner. I also think that influences shouldn’t
be looked just among the art elements, because just living
in that city has certainly had a tremendous amount
of effect on me and has shaped me into an artist and
a person I am today. On the other hand, central Istria

and its emphasised rural dimension, but also its excellent
connections to the world, are not necessarily in contrast
to London; it’s just an area with very special character,
and that change did nothing but ennoble me. My wish
and decision to come and live in Istria after London was
a completely romantic one, and it turned out that Istria
was the most fertile ground Croatia had to offer for my
line of business.
Being that, over the last ten years or so, Istria has become
a very attractive area to purchase a real estate,
much to the point that it’s now a matter of prestige to
have a house in Istria, especially at its centre. Have you
noticed that trend having any effect on some changes
in the area’s appearance? Is there any effect at all, because
it seems that the ambience of central Istria is respected
and the construction is always in harmony with
the natural environment. Do you think that your work
also contributes to that way of thinking in the Istrian ambience?
At that time, you could already feel a more subtle approach
in central Istria, and I didn’t have to do much explaining
about what it was I was doing. There are many
Croatian citizens and foreigners who have used their
very tasteful redecorating, almost always in line with
the environment, to demonstrate an excellent example
and to encourage the locals to keep going down that
road. It’s fantastic how Istrian people have responded
to that. Over a very short period of time, good solutions
have been accepted and are now heavily used. That
sort of surrounding makes my job a lot easier. From the
very start, the clients have believed me and have given
me enormous freedom with lots of enthusiasm, and
have ended up enjoying the results, not only in Istria, but
also in the whole of Croatia.
Are there any trends in today’s interior design? How
much are our people willing to just leave their intimate
space’s decoration in the hands of a professional?
Much like in everything else, there are certain trends. As
much as I’m aware of them, the personal approach to
a project is what’s important to me. The way I approach
a certain decorating project is to arrange everything
with the clients and fully cooperate with them. I’m trying
to help my clients in the process of refining their taste.
My way of designing is never the “here’s the key, see
you tomorrow” system, at the end of which the client
returns to see a fully decorated space. I prefer to suggest,
help my clients make the right choice instead of
the wrong one, make the whole project more rounded,
harmonized, balanced, as well as warn them about
the right direction, about the good sides that should be
pointed out and the not-so-good sides that should be
covered. In that way, the clients don’t even let anyone
else decorate their intimate space, and instead contribute
to making it a joint project.

Današnji je turizam, jednom riječju, bijeg: bijeg
od svakodnevice, gradskog ritma, obveza,
drugih ljudi sličnih nama, a možda pomalo i
bijeg od nas samih. No bijeg koji završi u pretrpanom
ljetovalištu gdje su ljudi jednako, ako ne i više,
nervozni jer su nagurani na nepoznatom terenu na kojemu
se u kratkom vremenu moraju(!) opustiti i odmoriti,
i nije neki bijeg.
Zato je otok Pantelleria odredište za prave bjegunce:
na osamdeset i tri četvorna kilometra prostire se jedna
od rijetkih europskih nedirnutih oaza. Vulkanski je to
otok na samome jugu Italije koji regionalno pripada Siciliji,
i najveći je od svih sicilijanskih otoka. No, on nema

svijesti vežu uz najjužniju talijansku regiju (zaboravite na
krvnu osvetu i mafiju), osim fantastične prirode okružene
nepreglednim i, što je još važnije, ne prenapučenim
plažama. Tamno vulkansko tlo čini fantastičan kontrast
modrini mora i prelijepoj divljoj vegetaciji čiji je jedini
vrtlar – majka priroda. Do Pantellerije, čiji je naziv talijanska
izvedenica arapske riječi “kći vjetra“, dolazi se
relativno jednostavno – zrakoplovom ili brodom, dok
na otoku ordiniraju shuttleovi i taksi službe koje putnike
voze tamo gdje treba.
A u sredini otoka, u dolini Monastero, četrdeset hektara
zaposjelo je raskošno rustikalno imanje Santa Teresa
Resort, s golemim vinogradom kojim dominira sorta cabernet
te nepreglednim stablima maslina, namijenjeno
onima koji se ne boje mira, tišine i susreta sa samima
sobom. Romantičari i ljubitelji povratka u bolju prošlost
ovdje će doći na svoje. Santa Teresa namijenila je gostima
osamnaest prekrasno obnovljenih tradicionalnih
72
ribarskih i seljačkih kuća koje stanovnici otoka nazivaju
“dammusi“, nepravilno u četiri grupice raštrkanih po
imanju, ali dovoljno udaljenih jedne od drugih da bi
gostima sačuvale privatnost. Tvorci ovoga neobičnog
ljetovališta sačuvali su tijekom restauracije starih kućica
sva obilježja ovdašnje pučke arhitekture, snažno
obojene arapskim utjecajima – jer obala Afrike je samo
70 kilometara zračne linije udaljena od Pantellerije pa
je otok zapravo bliže Africi nego Europi.
Bez poznatih dizajnera
U Santa Teresi nećete naći komade namještaja s dizajnerskim
potpisom: iako je svaka od kućica uređena
luksuzno, s ukusom i vrlo komforno, čak se i raspored
prostorija promišljao u skladu s nekadašnjim. No, interijer
“dammusija“ idealno se uklopio s mjestom gdje
se nalazite: prozračni prostori bez puno mračnih i zatvorenih
kutaka, karakteristični lukovi svoda, prirodni
materijali interijera, skladne boje, puno drva, detalji od

kovanoga željeza... sve je to dio vremeplova koji vas
vraća u neka mirnija, jednostavnija vremena. Svaki je
od bungalova uređen drukčije, a većina ih je za dvije
do četiri osobe te se razlikuju po kategorijama. Osnovna
je, i nešto manja, “Comfort“, ona srednje klase
“Superior“, a najbolja “Excellent“. Potonjim kućicama
na raspolaganju je i privatni bazen, dok ostali mogu
uživati u nekoliko bazena koji su predviđeni za korisnike
više bungalova. Svaka je kućica opremljena standardnim
sadržajima: kupaonicom, mini kuhinjom, klimatizacijskim
uređajem, minibarom, telefonskom linijom i TV
prijamnikom, a uz recepciju i 24-satnu uslugu, gostima
je na raspolaganju i igraonica za djecu, zgrade za nepušače,
usluga pranja rublja, faks... Ovisno o sezoni te
o tome za koju opciju bungalova se odlučite, noćenje
s doručkom može stajati od 165 do 280 eura (dok opcije
punog ili polupansiona ne postoje). No, glavni adut
Pantellerije ipak nije boravak u zatvorenome prostoru
(uostalom, i klima je ovdje vrlo nalik onoj na susjednom
sjeveru afričkog kontinenta), nego uživanje u prirodi.
Stoga će rijetko tko ostati uz bazen. Gosti radije odabiru
kupanje na nekoj od skrivenih plaža udaljenih tek koji
kilometar, vožnju biciklom, minigolf, izlete brodom do
mnogobrojnih podmorskih pećina, kušanje vina, blatnu
kupku ili posjet jednome od najpoznatijih arheoloških
nalazišta u regiji. Pantelleria je jedino veće mjesto na
otoku i udaljeno je desetak kilometara od Santa Terese,
no poklonici ludih noćnih provoda ni tamo neće naći
sadržaje po svome ukusu. Ovo je mjesto za meditaciju,
odmor i povratak iskonu. A jedna od iskonskih stvari na
ovome egzotičnom otoku svakako je i hrana, idealni
mediteranski spoj svježe ribe i maslinova ulja, kouskousa
karakterističnoga za afričko sredozemno podneblje
te opojnih arapskih slatkiša. Nešto od toga servira se u
Arapskome vrtu u mjestašcu Siba, zajedničkom prostoru
za sve bungalove, gdje je u predvečerje lijepo i popiti
čašu ovdašnjega vina s pogledom na nepregledne
vinorodne brežuljke.

Santa Teresa - An Atypical Hotel on the Largest Sicilian Island

Island Pantelleria is closer to the African continent
than it is to Europe, and in valley Monastero,

estate called Santa Teresa Resort, with an

Today’s tourism is, in a single word, an escape: escape
from the every-day life, from the city rhythm,
obligations, other people who are similar to us, and
maybe also an escape from ourselves. However,
an escape that ends up in an overcrowded summer resort
where people are just as nervous, if not more, because
they’ve been stacked up in unfamiliar territory
and they have a short period of time in which they must
(!) relax and unwind, is not really much of an escape.
That’s why the island of Pantelleria is the destination for
true fugitives: one of the rare untouched European oases,
and it spreads across 83 square kilometres. This is a
volcanic island at the very south of Italy that regionally
belongs to Sicily, and it’s the largest Sicilian island. Mind

Without famous designers
You won’t find any pieces of designer furniture in Santa
Teresa: although each of the houses is luxuriously decorated,
with great taste and comfort, even the position of
the rooms was worked out in harmony with how it used
to be. However, the interior of the “dammusi” ideally fits
in with the location: airy spaces with practically no dark
and closed corners, characteristic arches, natural materials
in the interior, coherent colours, plenty of wood,
details made from wrought iron… it’s all part of a time-

you, it features none of those negative things that are
generally attached to this region at the very south of Italy
(forget about blood vengeance and the Mafia), besides
the fantastic nature surrounded by spacious, and
even more importantly, non-overcrowded beaches.
The dark volcanic soil makes for a fantastic contrast opposed
to the blueness of the sea and the wonderful wild
vegetation, with only one gardener – Mother Nature.
Pantelleria, with a name that is the Italian version of the
Arabic word “daughter of the wind”, can be reached
relatively easily – via airplane or a boat, while there are
shuttles and taxi-services operating on the island to take
the visitors to their chosen destinations.
And in the valley of Monastero, right in the centre of the
island, forty hectares were taken up by a sumptuous rustic
estate called Santa Teresa Resort, with an enormous
vineyard that is dominated by the cabernet species and
an uncountable amount of olive trees, aimed at those
who aren’t afraid of peace, quiet and a confrontation
with themselves. Romantics and lovers of the return to
the better past will truly enjoy this place. Santa Teresa
has delighted the guests with eighteen wonderfully ren-
ovated, traditional fishermen’s and village houses that
the locals call “dammusi”, and they are irregularly scattered
across the estate in four little groups, but are still
far enough from one another to preserve the guests’
privacy. The creators of this unusual summer resort have
maintained all the characteristics of the local architecture
during the process of these houses’ restoration, and
it is strongly painted in Arabic influences – that’s because
the African coast is merely 70 kilometres of airline
away from Pantelleria, which makes the island closer to
Africa than to Europe.

and most of them were designed for 2-4 people and are
placed in different categories. The primary category,
which is slightly lower, is called “Comfort”; the mid-class
one is called “Superior”, while the finest one is “Excellent”.
The latter houses have a private swimming pool
at their disposal, while the other guests can enjoy several
swimming pools that are predicted for users of more
than one bungalow. Each of the little houses features
standard equipment: bathroom, mini-kitchen, air conditioning,
mini-bar, telephone and TV set, and besides the
reception and the 24-hour service, the guests can also
use the playroom for children, buildings for non-smokers,
the laundry service, a fax machine… Depending on the
season and the bungalow option you decide upon, an
overnight stay with breakfast will cost you from 165 to 280
euros (options for a full pension or semi-pension are not
available). However, Pantelleria’s main luring point is not
spending your time indoors (besides, the local climate
very much resembles the one at the neighbouring north
of the African continent), but rather enjoying what nature
has to offer. Therefore, not many visitors will opt to spend
their time by the swimming pool. The guests will rather
choose taking a swim at one of the hidden beaches that
is only a couple of kilometres away, or maybe going for
a bicycle ride, playing some mini-golf, taking a boat trip
to one of the many underwater caves, trying yourself in
some wine sampling, taking a mud bath or visiting one
of the most famous archaeological sites in the region.
Pantelleria is the only larger place on the island and it is

that brings you back to your inner roots on this exotic island
is certainly the food, which is an ideal Mediterranean
combination of fresh fish and olive oil, as well as
“kouskous” that is characteristic for the area of the African
Mediterranean and some luscious Arabic sweets.
Some of those treats are served up in the African Garden
in a little place called Siba, which is a joint location for all
the bungalows, and where you will love spending your
early evenings with a glass of local wine and gazing at
the vast slopes filled with vineyards.

Vidjevši prvi put stan u više od sto godina staroj
kamenoj kući na dubrovačkim Pločama, Jelica
Kmetović je znala da se od njega da napraviti
lijepi stan za nju i njezina supruga Pavu Hercigonju.
Nakon godinu dana preuređivanja po njihovoj ideji
i uz pomoć arhitektice Dunje Janjić, stotinjak četvornih
metara stana dobilo je sasvim novi izgled, a vlasnica kaže
kako još ni nakon četiri godine od preseljenja nije uređen

Odmah na ulazu se vidi kako je riječ o stanu u kojemu se
pazilo na svaki detalj. Tako su na ulaznim vratima stakla s
reljefnim pločicama na kojima su brodići i ispisana slova
na različite načine koja čine vlasnikovo ime. Jeličinu ideju
o originalnim ulaznim vratima, u djelo je proveo dizajner
Nino Čučković. S ulaznih vrata bijelim porculanskim
pločicama ulazi se u svojevrsnu galeriju koju je napravio
prijetelj Pavo Đivanović, a vlasnici su je nazvali Vojin
kutić. Tu su preko cijelog sjevernog zida stana napravljene
niše u kojima su izložene drage stvari – od kompleta
unikatnih čaša do amfora i školjaka koje je Pavo izronio
u mladosti, a koje mu mnogo znače. Ipak, središnje mjesto
galerije zauzimaju slike obiteljskog prijatelja i Jeličina
omiljenog slikara Voje Radoičića, a glavna je ona
“Pasal je Pavušin vapor”, koju je Pavo od supruge dobio
za rođendan. S galerijom je u jednom prostoru spojena
kuhinja i blagovaonica, a stoljetni zid s voltom ga dijeli

na zidu u dnevnoj sobi. Kako se s prozora u dnevnoj
sobi vidi Stari grad, Pavo je poželio imati njegove
konture u izvedbi spomenute umjetnice i u svom
domu. Uz slike koje nalikuju na puzzle i bijelu kožnu
garnituru koja se po potrebi može pretvoriti u krevet,
odlično se uklopila i dizajnerska podna svjetiljka
Arco.
Pri uređenju stana itekako se pazilo na svaki detalj,
pa tako i na rasvjetu. Navečer stanom dominiraju
plavičasti tonovi. Svaki detalj, pa i malene niše u stoljetnom
kamenu, ima odgovarajuću rasvjetu, a za
postavljanje rasvjetnih tijela zaslužan je Lukša Jakobušić
koji već poznaje ukus vlasnika.
Svoje mjesto u stanu, koji je Jelica nazvala “priča
morske pjene”, imaju i slike Vaska Lipovca, a tu su se
našle i njezine instalacije. Ona koju je napravila od
venecijanske maske, svoje haljine i cipela iz Milana
koje je samo jednom odjenula nalazi se u dnevnoj
sobi, a nazvala ju je “Prinčipesa”.
Kako je cijeli stan protočan, sva vanjska vrata su u
staklu, pa tako i ona jedina unutrašnja koja vode od
dnevnog boravka u sobu i kupaonicu, koja su također
od satiniranog stakla kako bi zaklonila pogled iz
dnevnih u noćne odaje. Sobom dominira bijeli krevet
prekriven ručno rađenom posteljinom koja je dar
Jeličine prijateljice, a dobila ju je na “partyju za lancune”
koji je bio jedan od prvih u novom stanu. Zanimljive
zavjese koje kriju zidni ormar, čija vrata još nisu
gotova, Jeličin su rad.
– Nama dan nikako ne može početi loše jer nam se iz
postelje pogled kroz jedan prozor pruža na Grad, a s
drugoga na Lokrum. Pa tko može pokraj takve ljepote
biti loše raspoložen?! – riječi su vlasnice, čiji prozor
iz kupaonice također gleda na more.
Kako je cijeli stan inspiriran morem, tako je i iznad kuhinje
“balatura” koja je zamišljena kao Pavin “komandni
most”. A kako su vlasnici druželjubivi, nerijetko se
kod njih održavaju zabave i večere na kojima su rado
viđeni gosti i brojni poznati Dubrovčani. Ljeti se takve
večere i feštanja iz stana prebace na veliku terasu
koja se prostire na dvije etaže, a koja je ujedno i predvorje
stana.

A Sea-Spray Story Overlooking
the City of Dubrovnik
The minute you enter, it becomes obvious
that this is an apartment where every
littledetail was really thought out. Owners
Jelica Kmetović and Pave Hercigonja,
with some help from architect Dunja
Janjić, have created a sea-inspired home
that immediatly makes you feel like you’re

Written by: Anita Vodopivec

When she first saw her apartment in a hundredyear-old
stone house in Ploče in Dubrovnik, Jelica
Kmetović knew that it had the potential of
becoming a lovely apartment for her and her
husband Pavo Hercigonja. After spending an entire year
redecorating it according to their own ideas, along with
the help from architect Dunja Janjić, the 100 square metres
of the apartment have received a whole new look, and
the owner said that it’s still not finished, even if they moved
into it four years ago.
The minute you enter, you can see that this is an apartment
where every little detail was really thought out. An example
of that is the glass with relief tiles on the front door, which
features little boats and various inscriptions that stand for
the owner’s name. Jelica’s idea for an original front door

while its dark colour and the stone wall are contrast
to white walls and furniture
was accomplished by designer Nino Čučković. Once
you enter, white porcelain tiles will lead you to a gallery
of sorts, which was created by friend Pavo Đivanović,
and the owners named it Pavo’s Little Corner. That’s
where you will find recesses built all over the north wall
of the apartment, and they feature some things that
bring back fond memories – from a set of unique glasses
to amphoras and shells that Pavo dug out from the sea
in his younger days, and that mean a great deal to him.
Still, the central part of the gallery belongs to paintings
by a family friend and Jelica’s favourite painter Vojo
Radoičić, with the main one being “Pavuša’s Ship Has
Sailed” that Jelica gave to her husband for his birthday.
The gallery has a space that connects it to the kitchen
and the dining room, while the hundred-year-old wall
with a volt separates it from the living room.
The custom-made white kitchen is small but functional;
it was delivered from Milan, and the working surface is
made of kerock, which is an extremely resilient material
that is easy to maintain. The kitchen is separated from
the remainder of the apartment by a satin-glass bar.
The floor in the dining room and living room is made

from exotic parquet, while its dark colour and the stone
wall are contrast to white walls and furniture. The dining
room, which features a grand exit to the terrace,
is dominated by a dining table made from “murano”
glass. The previous apartment’s table and chairs were
blue, so this new home saw that choice turn to white.
There is a chandelier-sculpture Dandelion by designer
Richard Hutton above the table.
- I never buy something purely because I have to, but
rather when I feel that a certain piece of furniture or
some lighting objects were made for our apartment.
That’s what happened to the chandelier in our dining
room. I’ve been searching for three years until I finally
found what I wanted – the owner says, and she always
makes sure to surprise her husband with a little something
when she returns from her trips. On one occasion,
that was a painting by artist Iris Lobaš from Dubrovnik,
which found its place on the living-room wall. Being that
you can see the old part of Dubrovnik from the livingroom
window, Pavo wished to have its outline, made
by this artist, in his home. Along with some puzzle-looking
paintings and a white leather ensemble that can

be turned into a bed, a designer floor lamp Arco has
also wonderfully adjusted to the ambience.
Every detail was taken into account while decorating
this apartment, and that includes the lighting. In the
evening, the apartment is dominated by bluish tones.
Every little detail, including the small recesses in the
hundred-year-old stone, has agreeable lighting, and
setting those lighting objects was the job for Lukša
Jakobušić, who is already familiar with the owners’
taste.
Paintings by Vasko Lipovac also have their place in this
apartment, which is often referred to by Jelica as “a
sea-spray story”, as do some of her own installations.
One of those works, which was made from a Venetian
mask, her dress and some shoes from Milan that she
wore only once, is located in the living room, and it
goes by the name “Prinčipesa”.
Being that the entire apartment has a certain flow to
it, all the outside doors are covered in glass, including
the only indoor ones that lead from the living room to
the bedroom and bathroom, and they are also made
from satin glass in order to hide the view from the daytime
to nighttime quarters. The bedroom is dominated
by a white bed that is covered with hand-made linen,
which was given to Jelica as a present by her friend
at “the bed-sheets party “, which was one of the first
events in the new apartment. Interesting curtains that
hide the wall closet, the doors of which are not finished
yet, were made by Jelica herself.
- Our day cannot start on a bad note because the
view from our bed overlooks Dubrovnik through one
window, and Lokrum through the other window. Who
could stay in a bad mood next to such beauty?! – the
owner says, and it should be noted that her bathroom
window also overlooks the sea.
Along with the fact that the whole apartment is inspired
by the sea, there is a terrace above the kitchen that
was designed as Pavo’s “command bridge”. And being
that the owners are very sociable people, their place
is often the venue for parties and dinners that feature
some well-known names from Dubrovnik as guests. In
the summer, those dinners and parties are transferred
from the apartment to a large two-storey terrace, which
also serves as the apartment’s lobby.

Ima li boljega načina za promoviranje proizvoda od
vezivanja uz nešto tako ekskluzivno i oku ugodno
kao što je vrhunski dizajn? Za tu su se taktiku prije dvije
godine odlučili u Nestleu kada su na tržištu željeli
ojačati poziciju svoga proizvoda, espresso kave i pripadajućih
aparata s nepogrešivim imenom Nespresso
i dizajnom po kojemu je ta tvrtka već godinama poznata.
Godine 2005. raspisan je prvi natječaj za mlade
dizajnere, odnosno studente dizajna koji će se u svojim
radovima baviti produkt-dizajnom sa zajedničkim nazivnikom
– kavom. Projekti 24 finalista prvoga natječaja,
nazvanog “Coffeeunplugged”, odnosno najbolji,
krajnje inovativni i svježi rezultati toga natječaja, mogli
su se razgledati na prošlogodišnjemu sajmu “Maison&-
Objet” u Parizu, na “Elle Woonhuis” u Amsterdamu te
izložbi “Kunst 06” u Zürichu.
Formula je očito upalila jer su se dvije godine poslije
menadžeri ponovno odlučili za isto: Nespresso natječaj
2007. otvoren je u ožujku ove godine i traje sve do sredine
listopada. Drugo izdanje nosi i novo ime “Coffeeluxury”,
a uz nezaobilazni opojni napitak kao lajtmotiv,
ovaj je put ključna riječ “luksuz”. U natječaju se od
mladih studenata i postdiplomanata dizajna očekuje
da istraže gdje je dimenzija luksuza u jednoj naizgled
tako svakodnevnoj stvari kao što je šalica dobre kave i
da taj luksuz u svojim radovima iskažu na što zanimljiviji
način. Ili, kako to kažu u pozivu na natječaj: “Istražuje
se luksuz kao stanje uma, stav, neprestana potraga

Natječaj potiče studente najboljih svjetskih dizajnerskih
škola da se oslobode tehničkih i industrijskih zadanosti
i na taj način sasvim izraze kreativnost kroz korištenje
kave, aparata za kavu ili pomagala u pripremanju ili
ispijanju kave kao fokalnih točaka istraživanja.” Nespressov
ocjenjivački sud posebno je naglasio pitanje
dizajna kao sredstva kojim se postiže praktičnost s luksuznom
dimenzijom, u kojoj korisnici mogu svakodnevno
uživati, bila ona jednostavnost, efikasnost ili perfekcija,
a projekti mladih dizajnera trebali bi, prema uputama
suda, naglašavati i reakcije naših čula na luksuz.
Da je riječ doista o događanju na najvišoj svjetskoj razini,
svjedoči i sastav ocjenjivačkoga suda: o radovima
će odlučivati glavna urednica magazina Interi Gilda
Bojardi, Alberto Alessi te dizajneri Giulio Cappellini,
Mattali Crasset, Alfredo Häberli, Ineke Hans, Patrick
Norguet i Konstantin Grcic. Nagrade su također vrlo
primamljive, a ukupan iznos predviđen za tri najbolja
dizajnera je 26.000 eura. Usto, Nespresso će “svoje” dizajnere
promovirati i na brojnim sajmovima, a posebno
na milanskome u proljeće iduće godine.

Is there any better way to promote a product than to
attach it to something so exclusive and pleasant to
the eye as top-notch design? Two years ago, that was
the tactic they chose at Nestle when they wanted to
strengthen the position of their product on the market;
the product being espresso coffee and accompanying
products with the unmistakable name Nespresso and
with the type of design that has been that company’s
trademark for years. In 2005, the first contest was announced
for young designers, or design students who
would test themselves in the field of product-design by
using one common denominator – coffee. The projects
by the 24 finalists of the first contest that was called “Cof-

feeunplugged”, or the best, most innovative and fresh
results of that contest, were put on display at the last
year’s “Maison&Objet” fair in Paris, the “Elle Woonhuis”
in Amsterdam and the “Kunst 06” exhibition in Zurich. The
formula obviously worked because the managers have
decided to do the same thing two years later: Nespresso’s
contest for 2007 was opened in this year’s March and
will go on till mid-October. The second edition boasts a
new name “Coffeeluxury”, and along with the unavoidable
luscious beverage as the leitmotif, the key word this
time is “luxury”. This contest asks the young students and
design post-graduates to explore the dimension of luxury
within one thing that is seemingly so ordinary as a cup of
good coffee, and to point out that luxury in their works
as interestingly as they can. Or as the invitation to the
contest states: “The research theme is luxury as a state
of mind, an attitude, constant search for excellence and
the ultimate beauty of simplicity. The contest encourages
students from the best design schools in the world
to free themselves from all technical and industrial limitations
and to express their creativity in that way through
usage of coffee, coffee makers or any tools in preparing
or drinking coffee as the focal points of their research”.
Nespresso’s expert jury has particularly emphasized the
issue of design as means to achieve practicality with a
luxurious dimension that the users can constantly enjoy,
whether it reflects simplicity, efficiency or perfection. The
young designers’ projects should, according to the jury’s
instructions, also point out how our senses react to luxury.
The fact that this is truly an event at the highest worldclass
level is demonstrated by the names in the expert
jury: the works will be judged by chief editor of “Interi”
magazine Gilda Bojardi, Alberto Alessi and designers
Giulio Cappellini, Mattali Crasset, Alfredo Haberli, Ineke
Hans, Patrick Norguet and Konstantin Grcic. The awards
are also very alluring, and the overall prize money that is
predicted for the top three designers is 26.000 euros. Besides
that, Nespresso will promote “their” designers during
numerous fairs, particularly at the one in Milan during next
year’s spring.

Bez obzira koji stil odabrali za spavaću sobu,
morate obratiti pozornost na njezinu praktičnost.
Spavaća soba bi trebala biti oaza mira
i opuštanja, te bi suvišne detalje trebalo izbjegavati
Piše: Elija Vrsaljko
Spavaća soba, čuvarica intime, obično je posljednja
na ljestvici prioriteta pri (pre)uređenju doma.
Potpuno pogrešno, jer nema ništa gore od buđenja
u neorganiziranoj i natrpanoj sobi. Iako je
to soba koju ne pokazujemo gostima i koja čuva naše
najveće tajne, ona zaslužuje da je napravimo onim što
ona zapravo jest – oaza mira i opuštanja. Zapravo, pri
planiranju i uređenju ove prostorije možemo pustiti mašti
na volju, ionako je skrivena od pogleda. Ona stilski ne
mora pratiti ostatak stana, a budući da je tako intimna,
neka bude cjelina za sebe.
Moderan stil uređenja spavaćih soba je potpuno lišen
suvišnih stvari koje bi nam mogle remetiti odmor. Bez
obzira koji stil odabrali za spavaću sobu, morate obratiti
pozornost na njezinu praktičnost. Bilo bi idealno da
ona služi samo za odmor i ništa više, ali to uglavnom nije
slučaj. Zato pri planiranju i uređenju treba uzeti u obzir
njezinu namjenu i veličinu.
Najvažnije je pravilno odabrati krevet budući da u njemu
provedemo jednu trećinu svog života. Ne radi se toliko
o samom okviru kreveta koliko o podnici i madracu.
Svatko tko se bar jednom probudio slomljen zbog spavanja
na neprimjerenome madracu zna koliko vrijedi
kvalitetan ležaj. Pri tome treba voditi računa da najtvrđi
madrac nije nužno i najbolji te se rukovoditi vlastitim potrebama
i obvezno probati prije kupnje. Najbolji izbor je
svakako madrac od prirodnih materijala. Podnice mogu
biti odvojene, što je naročito praktično ako je jedan od
partnera puno teži ili nemirno spava.
Okvir kreveta može izražavati stil vlasnika, bio on s uzglavljem
ili bez njega, tako, primjerice, željezni okvir pridonosi
romantičnom ugođaju. Bitno je da je veličina kreveta
prilagođena veličini prostorije, da se oko kreveta
može slobodno kretati te da je uzglavlje uza zid. Prostor
ispod kreveta se može iskoristiti kao spremište, bez obzira
radi li se o krevetu sa stranicama ili onom na nogama.
Iskoristite taj prostor za pohranjivanje posteljine i odjeće.
Zgodno je imati kutije na kotačićima koje možemo pospremiti
ispod kreveta jer su praktične kod održavanja
čistoće, a mogu se nabaviti u svim bolje opskrbljenim
prodavaonicama. Ako nemate dovoljno prostora oko
kreveta, noćni ormarići se lako mogu zamijeniti policom
iznad kreveta. U slučaju da dio za spavanje nije odvojen
od ostatka stana, krevet nije nužno potrebno skrivati od
pogleda. Prekriven atraktivnom posteljinom i zanimljivim
jastucima, on može postati središnja točka vašeg
doma.
Za one koji imaju dovoljno mjesta ispred kreveta, mogućnosti
koje ono pruža za izražavanje vlastita stila zaslužuju
posebnu pažnju. Naime, tu se može postaviti televizor,
naslonjač, sanduk za odjeću, stilski stolić s dvije stolice,
dvosjed (idealno u kombinaciji sa stolnom lampom), pisaći
stol, polica za knjige... Prostor ispred kreveta je idealno

Dobro organizirani ormar zlata vrijedi /
Good organized wardrobe worth a million
Jesse
Za ukupan dojam, treba pažljivo odabrati boju za
zidove / For the overall impression, you should carefully
choose which wall paint to use
mjesto za neobičan komad namještaja s “karakterom”.
Na primjer, za “vintage look” postavite stolicu od kovanog
željeza ukrašenu jastučićem u stilu s ostatkom sobe.
Boljka svih spavaćih soba je, naravno, garderoba. Osim
onih sretnika koji imaju posebnu prostoriju za odjeću, svi
ostali moraju ukomponirati ormar u raspored svoje spavaće
sobe. Bio on mali ili veliki, ugradbeni ili samostojeći,
klizni, kutni, on mora sakriti sve, od posteljine do garderobe.
To nije uvijek lako, naročito ako je spavaća soba
mala. Ako je ikako moguće, pri gradnji stana ili preuređenju
treba isplanirati ugradbene ormare koji štede prostor.
Natrpane ormare treba dobro organizirati radi bolje preglednosti
odjeće. Tako police i ladice pregradite na pretince
u kojima odvojeno stoje čarape, kravate, remeni,
itd. Dobro je imati rasvjetu unutar ormara, a pomaže i ako
ormar postavite nasuprot prirodnog izvora svjetlosti kako
biste bolje “kopali” po njemu. Zasebna ladičarka koja se
stilski poklapa s ostatkom sobe dobro će doći, a njezina
gornja površina može služiti kao toaletni stolić.
Ako volite čitati u krevetu, pokraj glavne rasvjete trebate
postaviti i sekundarnu koja je nadohvat ruke, osim ako
ne želite ustajati da biste ugasili svjetlo nakon što ste se
opustili uz omiljenu knjigu. Isto tako, ako imate partnera
koji nije toliki ljubitelj knjige, osigurajte da to svjetlo bude
pravilno dozirano i dobro usmjereno.
Zanimljivo je da zrcala, koja se nekako nagonski nameću
u spavaćoj sobi, a često prekrivaju cijelu prednju
površinu ormara, ne preporučuju pobornici feng shui
principa uređenja doma i bioenergetičari. Oni tumače,
svaki na svoj način, da zrcala ometaju miran san, a ako
baš moraju biti u spavaćoj sobi, treba ih postaviti tako
da ne odražavaju lik osobe dok spava. Isto tako nije preporučljivo
imati računalo u spavaćoj sobi, a ako ste ipak
odlučili tamo postaviti svoj radni kutak, treba ga prekriti
tijekom spavanja, isto kao i zrcalo. Ovo je svakako nešto
o čemu vrijedi razmisliti.
Za ukupan dojam, treba pažljivo odabrati boju za zidove
i pritom imati na umu djelovanje boja na ljudsko
raspoloženje, budući da se radi o sobi za odmor. Primjerice,
u crvenoj spavaćoj sobi ćete se teško smiriti, dok,
naprotiv, plava boja djeluje umirujuće. Moderan dizajn
koristi neutralne boje pri uređenju spavaće sobe, a življe
boje samo u detaljima. Tako se na neutralnoj boji zidova
idealno ističu vaše omiljene slike moderne umjetnosti.
Oni s plićim džepom modernu umjetnost mogu zamijeniti
crno-bijelim fotografijama ili jednostavno obojiti zid
iznad kreveta nekom jačom bojom.
Kako biste postigli atmosferu opuštanja, okružite se stvarima
koje vas podsjećaju na ugodne trenutke, fotografijama,
predmetima s putovanja, knjigama... Posteljina,
tepisi i zavjese neka budu od prirodnih materijala i neka
naglašavaju željeni stil uređenja. Guste zavjese koje se
navuku preko noći osiguravaju miran san. Za veći izgled
prostorije bolje je imati tepih u jednom komadu.
Za one koji imaju dovoljno mjesta u spavaćoj sobi, mogućnosti
za ostvarivanje sobe iz snova / za snove ne prestaju
ovdje. Televizor (plazma kao alternativa za mali prostor),
biblioteka, radni kutak, udobna fotelja za čitanje uz prozor,
pa čak i mali hladnjak s hladnim pićima, stvorit će
dojam prave male oaze za odmor i bijeg od svakodnevice.
Tada vam možda neće biti krivo ako vam neki gost
greškom zaluta u spavaću sobu i otkrije vašu intimu.

THE BEDROOM -
Practical Advices for Every Style
Regardless of the style you choose for your bedroom, you must pay attention to its practicality.
The bedroom should be an oasis of peace and relaxation, so all redundant details
should be avoided

The bedroom, the guard of your intimacy, usually
comes last at the priority scale when it comes to
(re)decorating your home. That approach is completely
wrong, for there is nothing worse than waking
up in a disorganised, overloaded bedroom. Although
this is the room that our guests don’t get to see and that
keeps our biggest secrets, it deserves to be arranged for
what it really is – an oasis of peace and relaxation. Actually,
we can pretty much let our imagination run wild
while planning and decorating this room, as it is hidden
from every view. When it comes to style, it doesn’t have
to be in harmony with the remainder of the apartment,
and being that it’s so intimate, it should represent a separate
unit.
The modern style of the bedrooms’ decoration is completely
deprived of any redundant things that could get
in the way of our relaxation. Regardless of the style you
choose for your bedroom, you must pay attention to its
practicality. It would be ideal if it served for relaxation
and nothing more, but that’s mostly not the case. That’s
why you have to take its purpose and size into account
when you begin the planning and the decorating.
The most important thing is to choose the proper bed because
that is where we spend one third of our life. It’s not
so much the frame of the bed that matters; what is more
important is the flooring and the mattress. Anyone who’s
ever woken up completely broken because of sleeping
on an inappropriate mattress knows just how valuable a
quality place to sleep really is. While doing the purchasing,
you must take into account that the hardest mattress
is not necessarily the best, so you should orientate yourself
by your own needs and you should definitely give it
a try before purchasing. A mattress from natural materials
is certainly the best choice. Floorings can be separated,
which is particularly practical if one of the partners
is much heavier or a restless sleeper.
The frame of the bed can express the owner’s style,
whether it has a head or not; for example, an iron frame
contributes to achieving a romantic mood. What’s important
is that the size of the bed is adjusted to the size of
the room, that you can move freely around the bed and
that the head of the bed is right by the wall. The space
under the bed can be used as storage, regardless of
whether the bed has surfaces on its sides or it has legs.
You should use that space for storing your sheets and
clothes. It’s very handy to have one of those boxes with
wheels that can be put under the bed because they’re
practical while tidying up, and they can be purchased
in every well-equipped store. If you don’t have enough
room around the bed, night cupboards can easily be replaced
by some shelves over the bed. And in case that
the sleeping section is not separated from the rest of the
apartment, you don’t necessarily have to hide the bed
from everyone’s prying eyes. When it’s covered with attractive
linen and interesting pillows, it can become a
central point of your home.
For those who have plenty of room in front of their bed,
the possibilities that come up to express your own style
warrant special attention. That’s because you can fill that
space with a TV set, an armchair, a chest box for clothes,
a stylish coffee table with two chairs, a love seat (ideal in
combination with a desk lamp), a desk, a bookshelf… The
space in front of the bed is an ideal place for an unusual
piece of furniture with “character”. For instance, if you
want to achieve a “vintage look”, you should set a chair
made of wrought iron that is decorated with a cushion
that matches the remainder of the room in style.
The nuisance of all bedrooms is, naturally, the wardrobe.
Besides those lucky people who have a special room for
their clothes, all the rest of us must fit a large closet into our
bedroom’s formation. Whether it’s a small closet or a big
one, built-in or detached, sliding or corner, it has to hide
everything, from linen to the wardrobe. That’s not always
an easy assignment, especially if we’re dealing with a
smaller bedroom. If it’s in any way possible while building
or redecorating the apartment, you should plan out builtin
closets that save up a lot of room. Overloaded closets
should be well organized due to achieving a better over-

Marimekko
view over your clothes. Therefore, build your shelves and
drawers into separate lockers so that you can keep apart
your socks, ties, belts etc. It’s good to have lighting inside
your closet, and it also helps to position your closet opposite
a natural source of light, so that you have an easier
job “digging” all over it. A separate drawer, which stylishly
gets along with the rest of the room, is bound to come in
handy, and its upper surface can serve as a toilet table.
If you like to read in bed, than you will have to get, besides
the main light, a secondary light that is well within
your reach, unless you want to get up to turn off the light
after relaxing alongside your favourite book. On that
same note, if you have a partner who’s not exactly a
book lover, make sure that the secondary light is appropriately
dosed and well-directed.
It’s interesting that mirrors, which are instinctively placed in
the bedroom and they often cover up the entire front surface
of the closet, are not recommended by defenders
of the “feng shui” principle of home decoration, and the
bio-energy experts aren’t crazy about it either. They explain,
each in their own way, that mirrors disturb peaceful
sleep, and if they simply must be found in the bedroom,
they should be positioned in such manner that they don’t
reflect the person while they’re sleeping. It’s also not recommendable
to have a computer in the bedroom, and
if you have decided to put your little working corner in
there, it should be covered during sleeping along with
the mirror. This is certainly something that’s worth thinking
about.
For the overall impression, you should carefully choose
which wall paint to use, and that’s where you should be
familiar with the effects that certain colours have on the
human mood, being that this is your relaxation room. For
example, you’ll have a hard time settling down in a red
bedroom, while the blue colour has an opposite effect
and it’s very soothing. Modern design uses neutral colours
while decorating your bedroom, and the bright colours
are limited to pointing out some details. In that way, the
neutral colours on your walls will do a great job of pointing
out your favourite contemporary artwork. Those with
not-so-deep pockets can replace contemporary art with
some black-white photos or simply paint the wall above
your bed in a brighter colour.
To achieve the complete relaxation atmosphere, make
sure you surround yourself with things that remind you of
some good times – photographs, mementos from various
travels, books… Linen, carpets and curtains should be
made out of natural materials and should emphasize the
desired decoration style. Thick curtains that are drawn
overnight are said to assure you of peaceful sleeping.
And if you want to make the room look a bit larger, you’ll
want to have a one-piece carpet.
For those who have plenty of space in their bedroom,
the possibilities to achieve the bedroom of your dreams
/ for your dreams don’t stop there. A TV set (plasma as
an alternative for smaller space), library, working corner,
a comfortable armchair for reading alongside the window,
even a little refrigerator with some cold beverages
- all this will create the impression of a true little oasis for
relaxation and getting away from the every-day life. In
that case, maybe you won’t mind if one of your guests
happens to wander into your bedroom and reveals your
intimacy.

Keramika, laminatni, drveni, vinilni ili “sportski”
podovi – svi oni imaju svoje estetske i mehaničke
prednosti i nedostatke, stoga prigodom
adaptacije ili postavljanja novog poda treba
paziti na odabir kako bi prostorija zablistala u
punom sjaju
Piše: Aleksandar Vrtariæ
Bez obzira o kojem se materijalu radilo, lijep pod
sa sobom nosi mnogo toga – od estetike i izolacijskih
svojstava do onog raskošnog ugođaja
i nevjerojatne topline, naročito kada se radi o
starim drvenim podovima koji govore o prijašnjim vlasnicima
nekretnine, a istodobno su idealna podloga
za najmoderniji namještaj. Keramika, laminatni podovi,
drveni podovi, vinilni ili “sportski” podovi – svi oni imaju
svoje estetske i mehaničke prednosti i nedostatke, stoga
prigodom adaptacije ili postavljanja novog poda treba
obratiti pozornost na to da odabir bude ispravan kako
bi prostorija zablistala u punom sjaju. O kojem god se
materijalu radilo, pod mora imati sljedeće karakteristike
– što bolja zvučna i toplinska izolacija, praktičnost kad
su u pitanju higijena i održavanje, te, naravno, estetika.
Ipak je pod podloga za svaki komad namještaja koji se
nalazi u prostoriji, stoga mora biti odabran s puno pažnje
i ukusa. Ako planirate stari drveni pod zamijeniti novim,
svakako razmislite što ćete dobiti, a što izgubiti takvim
pothvatom jer činjenica da se nekretnine s drvenim podovima
puno brže prodaju od onih s laminatnim i keramičkim
podovima, nikako nije zanemariva.
Koji materijal odabrati?
Dakle, materijala je zaista puno na tržištu i svi imaju neka
svojstva zbog kojih su atraktivni. Tako, primjerice, podovi
od keramičkih pločica su trajni i lako se održavaju te
su zbog toga vrlo dobar izbor za velike dnevne sobe. I
estetski gledano, keramički su podovi na vrlo visokoj razini
– ispravno postavljena keramika ostavlja dojam sime-

choice for large living rooms
trije koja se automatski povezuje sa savršenstvom. No,
keramika ima i jedan veliki nedostatak, a taj je vrlo jak
prijenos zvuka zbog čega nije pogodna za gornje etaže.
Danas su gotovo najpopularniji laminatni podovi koji
se mogu nabaviti po vrlo povoljnim cijenama, a osim
toga se vrlo lako postavljaju i idealno su rješenje za brze
adapacije. S obzirom da su ovakvi podovi “plivajućeg”
tipa, pružaju vrlo dobru toplinsku i zvučnu izolaciju zbog
čega su pogodni za sve prostorije. Laminatni podovi se
lako održavaju, a ovisno o kvaliteti i proizvođaču, laminatne
obloge su itekako otporne na mehanička oštećenja
– od ogrebotina i žara, pa čak i od vode. Laminatni
podovi su mješavina fine drvene piljevine, raznih smola i
ljepila, formaldehida te ostalih sastojaka koji mogu imati
štetan učinak na zdravlje čovjeka, te je to njihov osnovni
nedostatak. Pomalo zaboravljeni, linoleumski podovi se
opet vraćaju u modu i izgledaju ljepše i modernije nego
ikad. Mnogi linoleumske podove smatraju lošim i “jeftinim”
izborom, no oni mogu biti itekako lijepi i prikladni.
Pod nazivom “linoleum” su se godinama prodavali loši
i nekvalitetni materijali koji su bili neadekvatne inačice
pravog linoleuma i vjerojatno zbog toga danas mnogi
zaziru od ovakvih podova. Pravi linoleum se proizvodi
oksidiranjem lanena ulja koje se miješa s prirodnim smolama
i plutenim brašnom da bi se nanijelo na juteno tkanje.
Zbog svojih antialergijskih i antibakterijskih svojstava,
linoleum ima povoljno djelovanje na ljudsko zdravlje pa
je odličan izbor za sve koji pate od raznih alergija. Linoleumski
podovi se lako održavaju, a danas se mogu nabaviti
u doista impresivnim dekorima, a premazivanjem
zaštitnom emulzijom linoleumski pod će izgledati prekrasno.
Drveni podovi kao nepogrešiv izbor
Drvo ima posebnu moć i činjenica je da ni jedan materijal
ne ostavlja tako pozitivan, ugodan i topao dojam.
Drveni podovi nose posebnu čaroliju, bez obzira
jesu li stari stotinu godina i već desetak puta izbrušeni
i iznova lakirani, ili još uvijek blistaju u svojim svježim prirodnim
tonovima. Drveni podovi pričaju priče, govore
o vlasnicima prostorija, a sobama daju karakter i osobnost.
Od termoizolacijskih do estetskih osobina, drvo je
uvijek dobar izbor za svaku prostoriju, a ako je pravilno
postavljeno, može se koristiti i u uređivanju kupaonica.
Na raspolaganju su prekrasni “seljački” podovi, popularni
brodski podovi od različitih materijala, poput smreke
ili jelovine, parketi od domaćih i egzotičnih vrsta drveta,
razne plutene obloge i obloge od iznimno otpornih i
masivnih vrsta kao što su mahagonij, padouk, curupay,
jatoba i brojne druge. Bez obzira na koju se vrstu drveta
odlučili, godovi na daskama će uvijek izgledati toplo i
ugodno, no istodobno neobično bogato i profinjeno.
Ako se pravilno održava i njeguje, drvo je vječno, a obogaćeno
lijepim i stilski odabranim sagom, svaki će drveni
pod izgledati neodoljivo atraktivno. Mnogi kažu kako je
jedina mana drvenih podova tamnjenje koje izaziva direktna
i indirektna sunčeva svjetlost, no tamniji pod ima
posebne čari. S drvenim podovima je sve nekako jednostavnije
jer se uklapaju s gotovo svim stilovima i sa svim
vrstama namještaja – od tradicionalnog do najmodernijeg
dizajnerskog namještaja. Stoga, s drvenim podom
nikako nećete pogriješiti!

Floors - Magic Under Your Feet
Ceramics, laminated, wooden, vinyl or “sporty” floors – they all have their aesthetical and mechanical

Regardless of the material in question, a lovely
floor brings a lot to the table – from aesthetics
and isolation characteristics to that glamorous
ambience and incredible warmth, especially if
we’re talking about old wooden floors that speak of the
previous owners of the real estate, and are also the ideal
surface for the most modern furniture. Ceramics, laminated
floors, wooden floors, vinyl or “sporty” floors – they
all have their aesthetical and mechanical advantages
and shortcomings, so you must make careful choices
while adapting or setting up a new floor, and therefore
allow the room to fully shine and flourish. Whichever material
is used, the floor must have the following characteristics
– maximum sound and heat isolation, practical-

ity when it comes to hygiene and maintenance, as well
as, naturally, aesthetics. After all, the floor is the surface
for every piece of furniture in the room, so it must be
chosen with plenty of care and taste. If you’re planning
to replace an older wooden floor with a new one, make
sure to fully consider the pros and cons of that venture,
because it’s common fact that real estates with
wooden floors are much easier to sell than the ones with
laminated or ceramic floors, and that is something that
can’t be ignored.
Which Material Do You Choose?
There are truly lots of materials on the market and they
all have certain characteristics that make them attractive.
For example, floors made from ceramic tiles are
durable and easy to maintain, and that makes them a
very good choice for large living rooms. Aesthetically
speaking, ceramic floors also have a very high level
– the properly attached ceramics leave the impression
of symmetry that is automatically connected to perfection.
However, ceramics have a major shortcoming, and
that is a very strong transmission of sound, which makes
them fairly inconvenient for upper floors. What’s really
popular these days are laminated floors, which can be
purchased under very accessible prices, and are very
easy to install and represent an ideal solution for fast adaptations.
Considering the fact that these types of floors
have a “floating” vibe, they provide very good heat
and sound isolation, which makes them convenient for
basically every room. Laminated floors are maintained
rather easily, and depending on the quality and the
manufacturer, laminated surfaces are very resilient towards
mechanical damages – from scratches to flame,
and even water. Laminated floors are a mixture of fine
wooden sawdust, various resins and types of glue, as
well as formaldehydes and other components that can
have harmful consequences for the person’s health,
and that is their primary flaw. Slightly forgotten, linoleum
floors are becoming trendy again, and are looking more
beautiful and modern than ever. Many people consider
98
Drvo je uvijek dobar izbor za svaku
prostoriju / Wood is good choice for
every room
linoleum floors to be a bad and “cheap” choice, but
they can also very much be lovely and appropriate.
For years and years, various bad, low-quality materials
were being sold under the “linoleum” name, but they
were merely inadequate versions of true linoleum, and
that’s probably the reason why many people still stay
away from these types of floors. True linoleum is manufactured
by oxidization of linseed oil, which is mixed
with natural resins and cork flour, and then applied to
june cloth. Because of its anti-allergy and anti-bacteria
characteristics, linoleum has a favourable effect on
the human health, and is an excellent choice for those
who suffer from various allergies. Linoleum floors are
easily maintained, and these days, they can be purchased
in very impressive decors, while some coating
with protective emulsion will give a truly wonderful look
to any linoleum floor.

Interiors
Wooden Floors as an Unmistakable Choice
Wood has a special power and it’s widely known that
no other material leaves such a positive, pleasant and
warm impression. Wooden floors carry special magic,
regardless of whether they’re a hundred years old and
have been grinded and re-varnished about a dozen of
times, or they’re still glowing in their fresh and natural
tones. Wooden floors tell stories, speak of the rooms’
owners, and provide character and personality to any
room. With all its thermo-isolation and aesthetical characteristics,
wood is always a good choice for any room,
and if it’s competently installed, it can also be used for
decorating a bathroom. You can find wonderful “village”
floors, popular ship floors from various materials,
such as juniper or fir wood, as well as parquets from local
and exotic types of wood, various cork surfaces and
surfaces made from extremely resilient and massive species
like mahogany, padouk, curupay, jatoba and many
others. Regardless of the type of wood you choose, rings
on those boards will always provide warmth and comfort,
but also an unusually rich and sophisticated feeling.
If it’s maintained and nurtured in the right way, wood
can last forever, and when it’s enriched with a beautiful
and stylish carpet, any wooden floor will simply be
irresistible in its attraction. People say that the only flaw
of wooden floors is their eventual darkening, which is
caused by direct or indirect sunlight, but a darker floor
has its special charm. In a way, everything is simpler with
wooden floors because they fit in with almost every style
and all types of furniture – from traditional to the most
modern designer furniture. Therefore, a wooden floor
simply eliminates any possibility of a mistake!

Nanna Ditzel: EGG CHAIR, 1957.
50

jajaste sjedalice
“Ne želim da me uspoređuju s kolegama moje generacije.
Zanimaju me i inspiriraju novi dizajneri i umjetnici”
Nanna Ditzel
Piše: Nataša Bodrožiæ
Na n n a
Ditzel,
p r v a
dama
danskog dizajna
namještaja,
od početaka
svo-
je karijere, četrdesetih
go-
dina prošlog stoljeća, pa
sve do neda-
vne smrti 2005. godine, s istom
je predanošću i znatiželjom pristupala dizajniranju namještaja,
tekstila i nakita, uz gorljivost i strast koja je ostala
utkana u njezin rad. Njezino stupanje na dizajnersku scenu
poklopilo se sa “zlatnim dobom danskog dizajna”, kada
su joj kolege dizajneri bili Arne Jacobsen, Verner Panton i
drugi velikani skandinavskog dizajna, ali je sama bila zaokupljena
pogledom u budućnost, novim stvaralačkim impulsima
mlađih generacija. Tako ju je zadnjih godina više
inspirirao fascinantni art-filmaš Peter Grenaway ili dizajner
Gaetano Pesce nego što se oslanjala na temelje koje su
postavili njezini slavni sunarodnjaci.
Nanna Ditzel ulazi u pretežito muški svijet dizajna namještaja
u prvim postratnim godinama. Njezino ime i danas
se vezuje uz dizajn jarkih boja i elegantan, ženstveni izraz
u radu s tekstilom, izradi nakita i namještaja.
Nakon Drugoga svjetskog rata došlo je do velikih promjena
koje su zahvatile sva područja života. Goruća potreba
za ekonomičnim kućanstvom kao novim životnim
okružjem, izazvala je pravi bum u dizajnu i proizvodnji. Završeno
je poglavlje do u detalje razrađenih kućanstava
predratnog doba, koja su zamijenile neformalnost i prilagodljivost
kao osnovne odrednice novog dizajna. Novi
materijali i tehnologije, uglavnom razvijeni tijekom rata,
pridonijeli su svojevrsnoj liberalizaciji dizajna, odmaku od
tradicije, dopuštajući apstrakciju i skulpturalnu estetiku,
kao i niže cijene za masovno proizvedene predmete.
U takvim okolnostima, Nanna Ditzel počinje svoj dizajnerski
uspon, nakon završenog studija industrijskog dizajna
na Kraljevskoj akademiji lijepih umjetnosti u Kopenhage-
100
nu. Izlagala je još kao studentica, njezin talent odmah
je prepoznat, radovi nagrađivani, a već 1946., tek što je
diplomirala, zajedno sa svojim kolegom, poslije i suprugom,
Jorgenom Ditzelom osniva vlastiti dizajnerski studio
u danskoj prijestolnici. Vizija koju su Ditzelovi dijelili bila
je dizajnerska estetika utemeljena na kreiranju udobnih
okoliša u kojima je ugodno živjeti, ali bez unaprijed određenih
pravila, bez zadanosti, uvijek ostavljajući prostora
za inovaciju. Izazov su im bili novi materijali i tehnike koje
su istraživali, eksperimentirali s njima i stvarali nove, nadahnute
oblike. Kao mnogi dizajneri toga doba, Ditzelovi su
radili na proizvodnji višenamjenskog namještaja koji bi bio
ekonomično rješenje za uređenje malog stana, u skladu s
potrebama onoga doba.
Nannina inspiracija nikada nije dolazila iz već postojećih
oblika namještaja ili tekstila, već iz trenutačnog opažanja.
Nadahnuti ju je mogla fotografija, motiv iz prirode ili detalj
urbanog pejzaža, a zatim bi uslijedila dubinska analiza
koja je sadržavala začetak nove ideje. Nanna Ditzel je radila
za vodeće dizajnerske tvrtke, a neki od njezinih radova
već su tijekom njezina života dosegnuli status klasika
(Hallingdal, dizajniran za tvrtku “Kvadrat”, primjerice).
Jedan od poznatijih komada Nanne Ditzel zasigurno je
“Egg chair”, dizajnirana 1957. godine u suradnji s Jorgenom
Ditzelom. Zaobljena sjedalica koja priziva oblik jajeta
ili čahure, koja slobodno “lebdi” u zraku pričvršćena
tek na samostojeći okvir od nehrđajućeg čelika ili visi sa
stropa, izrađena je u najboljoj maniri skandinavskog organskog
dizajna. I oblik i struktura, pleter od vrbova šiblja,
evociraju svojevrstan “ženski princip” prizivajući rođenje,
prirodu, sklonište, toplinu i nježnost. Iako je lansirana prije
pedesetak godina, ova sjedalica odiše svježinom, jednostavnošću
i lakoćom koje joj daju auru bezvremenosti te
je i danas čine jednako privlačnom. Sjedalica za sanjara,
ali i biznismena na pauzi koji eskapistički traži petominutni
povratak prirodi, sigurnu čahuru u kojoj se može vratiti
sebi, brižno je dizajniran objekt pun simbolike. Sjedalica se
često koristi u interijerima, čineći dio dekora funky kućanstva
ili, pak, rafinirane trgovine, ali je savršena i za prosto-

Kultni komad
re terase ili vrta. Danas je proizvodi tvrtka “Pierantonio Bonacina” i
dostupna je u obje varijante, kao samostojeći ili viseći objekt, u potonjoj
varijanti uglavnom prikladna za maštovite eksterijere.
“Egg chair” dobar je primjer dizajnerskog otpora impersonalnosti
masovne proizvodnje jer, uz karakteristike kvalitetnog dizajna, sadrži
snažan autorski pečat. Nanna Ditzel unijela je svježinu u prostore
svakodnevnog življenja, ponovno uspostavivši vezu između prirode
i arhitekture, ali ih ujedno postavljajući u diskretan konflikt koji, u slučaju
sjedalice “Egg”, u prostoru svakodnevice stvara novu dinamiku.
I ovaj dizajnerski komad svjedoči o prioritetima dizajnerice i
o tomu koliko je njezine osobnosti zadržano u njoj. “Egg chair”, na
neki način, nudi pojedincu malo drukčiji osjećaj, odmak od standardnog
sjedenja, pružajući mu ugodu, dojam zaštićenosti, barem
dok se lagano njiše, smješten u udobnu, meku jezgru njezinih ovalnih
oblika.
Nekoliko godina nakon smrti supruga, krajem šezdesetih, Nanna
Ditzel se seli u London i osniva međunarodnu kuću namještaja “Interspace”
s Kurtom Heideom. Ideja je bila stvoriti showroom i mjesto
susreta međunarodnih dizajnera. U idućem razdoblju, Nanna je
izrazito aktivna na međunarodnoj dizajnerskoj sceni, radi za vodeće
proizvođače: izrađuje nakit za tvrtku “Georg Jansen”, tkanine za
“Kvadrat”, namještaj za “Fredericiu”. Izlaže širom svijeta, ima samostalne
izložbe u Amsterdamu, Berlinu, New Yorku, Beču, Londonu,
Milanu... Dobitnica je brojnih međunarodnih priznanja, od kojih je
vrlo važno ono japansko za “Klupu za dvoje” (Fredericia). Izabrana
je za počasnoga kraljevskog dizajnera u Londonu 1996., a 1998.
godine je dobila nagradu za životno djelo od države Danske.
Nanna Ditzel, po mnogima neokrunjena kraljica danskog dizajna,
za sobom je ostavila gotovo klasična djela modernog dizajna te
zauvijek obilježila dansku kulturu.

Nanna Ditzel: EGG CHAIR, 1957
50
Years of the
Egg Chair
“I don’t want to be compared to the colleagues of my
generation. I am interested in and inspired by new designers
and artists”
Nanna Ditzel
Written by: Nataša Bodrožiæ
Since the beginning of her career in the 1940s up
until her recent death in 2005, Nanna Ditzel, the
first lady of Danish furniture design, has always approached
designing furniture, textile and jewellery
with the same dedication and curiosity, along with the
eagerness and the passion that has remained characteristic
of her work. Her arrival to the designer scene coincided
with the “golden age of Danish design”, when her
colleagues were fellow designers Arne Jacobsen, Verner
Panton and other Scandinavian designer greats, but she
was always preoccupied with looking into the future,
towards new creative impulses of younger generations.
Therefore, she was more inspired during her final years by
the fascinating art-filmmaker Peter Grenaway or designer
Gaetano Pesce than she turned to inspiration in the
foundations built by her famous compatriots.
Nanna Ditzel arrived into the predominantly male world
of furniture design during the immediate post-war years.
Her name is still attached to bright-coloured design and
an elegant, feminine expression while working with textile,
making jewellery and furniture.
After World War 2, many changes occurred that have affected
all areas of life. The burning need for an economical
household as the new living space created a real
“boom” in design and manufacturing. This marked the
end of the chapter that featured overly detailed households
of the pre-war era, which have now been replaced
by informality and adjustability as the primary determinants
of the new design. New materials and technologies,
mostly developed during the war, have contributed
to a certain liberalization of design, stepping aside from
tradition and allowing abstraction and sculptural aesthetics,
as well as lower prices for mass-produced objects.
In those circumstances, Nanna Ditzel began her designer
career after finishing her industrial design studies at the
102
Royal Academy of Fine Art in Copenhagen. She exhibited
her work during her study days and her talent was
immediately recognized as her works received awards,
and fresh off her graduation in 1946, along with her colleague
Jorgen Ditzel who would become her husband,
she started her own designer studio in the Danish capital.
The vision the Ditzels shared featured designer aesthetics
based on creating comfortable environments that were
Nanna Ditzel

A piece of cult
always pleasant to live in, but with no pre-determined
rules or limitations, and always leaving room for innovation.
They were challenged by new materials and techniques
that they researched, experimented with and created
new, inspired shapes. Like many designers of that
era, the Ditzels worked on producing multi-functional furniture,
which would be an economical solution for decorating
a smaller apartment, in proportion with the needs
of that era.
Nanna never looked for inspiration in the already existent
shapes of furniture or textile, but rather from momentary
perception. She would get inspired by a photograph,
motif from the nature or a detail from the urban environment,
and that would set the stage for thorough analysis,
which contained the start of the new idea. Nanna Ditzel
worked for some of the leading designer companies,
and some of her works have reached classic status during
her lifetime as well (for instance, there is Hallingdal,
which was designed for the company “Square”).
One of the more famous Nanna Ditzel’s pieces must be
the “Egg Chair”, designed in 1957 with Jorgen Ditzel. It is a
rounded chair that calls upon a shape of an egg or a cocoon,
which freely “flows” through the air while attached
only to a detached frame from non-corrosive steel, or it
can also hang from a ceiling. It was made as the finest
product of Scandinavian organic design. Both the shape
and the structure, a wattle made from osier twigs, evoke
a certain “female principle” by capturing the essence of
birth, nature, shelter, warmth and delicacy. Although it
was launched about fifty years ago, this chair still radiates
freshness, simplicity and effortlessness that provide
her with a timeless aura, and make it just as attractive
now as it was then. A chair for a dreamer, but also for a
businessman who’s taking a break to look for an escapist
five-minute return to nature where he can return to himself
inside a safe cocoon, is a carefully designed object
filled with symbolism. The chair is often used in interiors,
becoming a part of the “funky” household décor, as well
as in refined stores, but it’s also perfect for a terrace or
garden. These days, it is produced by the “Pierantonio
Bonacina” company, and it can be purchased in both
its versions, as a detached or a hanging object, and we
should add that the latter version is very appropriate for
imaginative exteriors.
The “Egg Chair” is an excellent example of designer’s resistance
to impersonal mass production because, along
with its characteristics of quality design work, it also features
a strong author’s signature. Nanna Ditzel has added
freshness into the every-day living spaces, re-establishing
the connection between nature and architecture, but
also putting them in a state of discrete conflict that, at
least when it comes to the “Egg Chair”, creates a new
type of dynamics in the every-day surrounding. This designer
piece also does a great job of testifying about the
designer’s priorities and about how much personality she
poured in it. The “Egg Chair”, in a way, offers a slightly
different feeling to an individual, a setback from the
standard way of sitting, while giving him comfort, sense
of protection, at least while he’s smoothly swinging, as
he is seated into the comfortable, soft nucleus of its oval
shapes.
In the late sixties, several years after her husband passed
away, Nanna Ditzel moved to London and started an international
furniture house “Interspace” with Kurt Heide.
The general idea was to create a “showroom” and a
place where international designers can interact. During
the following period, Nanna has remained extremely active
on the international design scene, and has worked
for leading manufacturers: making jewellery for company
“Georg Jansen”, fabrics for “Square”, furniture for “Fredericia”.
She has thrown exhibitions all over the world, had
solo-exhibitions in Amsterdam, Berlin, New York, Vienna,
London, Milan… She has received numerous international
awards, and the one that truly matters would be the
Japanese one for “Bench for Two” (Fredericia). She was
chosen to become an Honorary Royal Designer in London
in 1996, and she received a Lifetime Achievement
Award from Denmark in 1998.
Nanna Ditzel, seen by many as the uncrowned queen of
Danish design, has left behind practically classic pieces
of work in the field of modern design, and she has permanently
marked all of Danish culture.

Najbolje od prirode
THE BEST OF NATURE
Pripremila / Edited by: Ana Perišin
Drvo se koristi za izradu namještaja od samih početaka
civilizacije, uspješno odolijevajući naletima
modernih materijala koji mu pariraju cijenom
i mogućnostima obrade.
Izvanredne mehaničke mogućnosti, odlična izolacijska
svojstva i prirodan izgled koji se može
uklopiti u svaki stil... samo su neke od dobrih karakteristika
drveta. Kad se k tome doda još i činjenica
da s godinama drveni namještaj dobiva na
ljepoti, izbor je logičan. Ormar od hrastova drva
za rustikalni stil, ultramoderan stol od tikovine, korpe
od pruća za romantični ugođaj... što god izaberete,
nećete pogriješiti jer drvo nikad ne prestaje
biti u trendu.
Wood has been used for the production of furniture
since the very beginnings of civilization, succesfully
resisting various modern materials that can match
its prices and processing possibilities. Extraordinary
mechanical possibilities, excellent isolation characteristics
and natural appearance that can easily fit
into any style… are just a little part of what’s good
about wood. When you add the fact that wooden
furniture gets better witg age, the choice is fairly
logical. An oak-tree closet for rustic style, an ultramodern
teakwood table, brushwood baskets for a
romantic atmosphere… anything you choose, you
will not make a mistake, for wood never stops being
trendy.
