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.
