MEBLOJOGI - BED DESIGN

The idea is to design modular upholstered parts that could be assembled as desired by the customer. The basic shape is a circle with a diameter of 20, 30, 40, 50 cm. This allows us to capture the dimensions of the bed in width and at the same time allow us to adjust the upholstered
coverings along the entire wall where the bed is. At the same time, modular pieces allow us to follow sustainable design, since the backrest can remain, only the bed is replaced. At the same time, it allows us to constantly change the design and shape of the backrest, since the upholstered base can be re-upholstered in other colors and thus change the appearance, especially for customers who constantly want changes.

ALPLES - KITCHEN DESIGN

The project deals with the design of a modern kitchen and a line of tables for the company Alples, with the main aim of creating a holistic, aesthetically perfect and functional living environment. The starting point of the project is to create a space that feels calm, elegant and timeless, while also corresponding to a modern way of living.

The essence of the project is to combine minimalist design with natural materials And warm, neutral colors, which creates harmony between the space, the equipment and the user. Special emphasis is placed on the balance between clean lines and soft, organic shapes, as well as on subtle sophistication without unnecessary elements. The project thus represents a thoughtful approach to interior design, where functionality and aesthetics come together into a single, long-term sustainable whole.

BARJE - TINY HOUSE NEVENKA

Project, the tiny house is taking into account the historical context of the Ljubljana Marshes, where pile-dwellers once lived. The exterior of the house reflects a connection with nature through the use of corten, which with its rusty appearance symbolizes the earth. Grass also grows on the facade, emphasizing harmony with the environment.

For the furniture design we took into account wishes of a couple who want a more connected lifestyle. The kitchen with a high movable counter, which serves as a dining table for everyday use, but can also be moved to the middle of the room and transformed into a larger table for socializing with guests. The entire length of the kitchen and counter is complemented by a panoramic window, which adds light and contact with nature to the space. The living room includes a modular sofa that can be adapted to different needs - for larger gatherings, parts of the sofa are moved to the next room. For the interior, we used recycled materials such as jeans and recycled plastic, which symbolize a connection with water and a sustainable lifestyle.
