Sneak peak into Design Week in Zagreb

Pozdrav svima :) Pre dva dana sam se vratila iz Zagreba, sa trodnevnog 

poslovno/uzivanje puta. Tijana i ja, Studio Krishka, smo zajedno sa prijateljima iz KC Grada bili pozvani na seminar, predavnja, panel diskusije... organizovano od strane Drustva Arhitekata Zagreba ili skraceno DAZ. Ali o tome cu vam pisati u narednom postu. 

Prvi dan, s obzirom da nismo imali obaveze, svratili smo u Laubu, gde je to vece bila otvorena Nedelja Dizajna. Prvo nas je odusevila sama zgrada, koja je inace zasticen spomenik kulture, i naravno, iako je obnovljena, savucane su njene istorijske karakteristike. Inace, sama zgrada je nekada sluzila kao konjusnjica austro-ugarske vojske, zatim je bila tekstilna fabrika, da bi na kraju postala mesto za okupljanje umetnika iz celog sveta. 

U prostranoj, divno osvetljenoj sali, opasanom ciglama, svoje mesto su nasli uglavnom domaci, odnosno, hrvatski dizajneri, od studenata do afirmisanih. Dizajneri su izlozili svoje prototipove namestaja, odece, nakita, instalacija i drugih zanimljivih stvari. Cela atmosfera je jako podsecala na Mixer festival kao i sam prostor, a samim tim je super bilo videti i kako to funkcionise u drugim drzavama u okolini. 

Posle toga smo se okrepili finom vecericom u ribljen restoranu sa sjajnim domacim belim vinom i brzo nakon toga smo se vratili u hotel, jer nas je sutradan cekao uzbudljiv i intenzivan dan.

Hello everybody :) Two days ago I came back from Zagreb, Croatia and it was both business and pleasure trip. Tijana and I, Studio Krishka and our friends from KC Grad (Cultural center Grad, Belgrade) were invited to attend a seminar, panel discussions etc. about city/urban interventions. Whole event was organized by Association of Zagreb's Architects DAZ. I will write about this a little bit more in next post. 

When we arrived, we had some spare time, so we used it to visit an opening of Design Week in cultural center Lauba. This year whole event was dedicated mostly toward domestic designers, and you could see a lot of furniture pieces, jewelry, fashion design and other interesting design pieces. 

Design week is located in a beautiful building, originally used as livery stable for Austro-Hungarian soldiers and after that, there was a textile factory. Now you can enjoy in beautiful place with excellent lighting, brick walls, cozy garden, coffee shop and restaurant. 

After that we had lovely dinner at fish restaurant with excellent domestic white wine and soon after that, we hit the bed, preparing for a busy, exciting new day.
