Na opće oduševljenje svih prisutnih, ovogodišnji “100% Design”, kao ni jedan sajam dizajna i arhitekture do sada, bio je sav u “zelenoj boji”, u znaku održivog razvoja, ekoloških proizvoda, recikliranja, štednje energije... istodobno poštujući zakone funkcionalnosti i visoke estetike. Dokazati da se i sa smanjenom potrošnjom energije i recikliranim materijalom može stvoriti proizvod vrijedan divljenja, bio je zajednički cilj, koji se u konačnici i ispunio. Kao suprotnost najvećem europskom gradu, donosimo vam reportažu iz Huma, najmanjega grada na svijetu. Tu zasigurno nećete pronaći ni luksuzne restorane ni trgovine, ali tri obitelji, koliko ih trenutačno živi u Humu, velikodušno će vas primiti u svoju zajednicu. Donosimo vam i priču o Modusu, jednom od zanimljivijih i karizmatičnijih zagrebačkih trgovina. Od svog osnutka, Modus ima status svojevrsne škole dobrog ukusa u industrijskom dizajnu, s vrlo širokom i odanom bazom klijenata, prijatelja i simpatizera. Kako stvoriti pravi jesenski ugođaj u svom domu, donosimo vam u rubrici “Dekoracije”, a savjete koji će vam olakšati potragu za najboljim zavjesama, pronaći ćete u rubrici “Interijeri”. Tu je još i priča o jednoj od najljepših lampa na svijetu, čuvenoj “Fortuny”, dizajniranoj davne 1907. godine. Još mnogo drugih zanimljivih tema pronaći ćete na našim jesenskim stranicama. To visit one of the leading cities in the world when it comes to the designer scene, especially during the London Design Festival, is always an unforgettable and inspiring experience. Much to the approval of everyone in attendance, this year’s “100% Design”, as no other fair of design and architecture thus far, was marked by “the colour of green”, as well as sustainable growth, ecological products, recycling, energy preservation… along with respecting the laws of functionality and high aesthetics. To prove that you can create an admirable product by reducing the consumption of energy and using recycled materials was the common goal, and it certainly ended up fulfilled. To provide opposition to the largest European city, we bring you a story from Hum, the smallest town in the world. You will surely not find any luxurious restaurants or stores there, but the three families that currently reside in Hum will generously welcome you into their community. We also bring you a story about Modus, which is one of the more interesting and charismatic stores in Zagreb. Since its beginning, Modus has a status of a school of good taste in industrial design, with a very wide and loyal base of clients, friends and admirers. How to create a true autumn ambience in your home is what you can find in our “Decorations” section, while “Interiors” brings you advice that will help you in your quest to find the best curtains. We also bring a story about one of the most beautiful lamps in the world, the legendary “Fortuny”, which was designed way back in 1907. That and many more interesting subjects are featured on our autumn pages.

Cilj je svima isti: dokazati da se i sa smanjenom potrošnjom energije i materijala može stvoriti predmet vrijedan divljenja, uz opovrgavanje predrasude o manjoj estetskoj vrijednosti recikliranog proizvoda Napisale: Hela Biliæ i Ana Perišin 14 Foto: Philip Vile Photography Impresivan štand vodećeg portugalskog proizvođača tekstila Pedroso& Osorio-a / The impressive booth of leading Portuguese textile manufacturer Pedroso&Osorio Instalacija “Light Garden” od štedljivih žarulja / “Light Garden” installation made from economical bulbs Č injenica broj 1: Velika Britanija još kaska za ostatkom Europske unije u ekologiji i primjeni novih tehnologija u građevinskoj industriji, posebno za Nijemcima koji se drže predvodnicima toga trenda. Činjenica broj 2: londonski sajam “100% Design” odlučio je promijeniti odnose snaga u tom sektoru. Ovogodišnji “100% Design”, kao nijedan sajam dizajna i arhitekture dosad, bio je sav u “zelenoj boji”, u znaku održivog razvoja, ekoloških proizvoda, recikliranja, štednje energije... Londonski Earl’s Court je od 20. do 23. rujna, trinaesti put, ugostio najbolje iz svijeta arhitekture, dizajna interijera, namještaja i prateće opreme, a ove se godine prvi put u ulozi kreativnog direktora sajma pojavio slavni dizajner Tom Dixon, čija je karijera bila lansirana upravo u prvim godinama “100% Designa”, zahvaljujući dijelom propulzivnosti sajma na kojemu je predstavio rane radove. Ovogodišnji “100% Design” dogodio se kao sastavni, za struku i najvažniji dio londonskog festivala dizajna, koji se, već po tradiciji, u drugoj polovici rujna odvijao na čak četiri lokacije u britanskoj metropoli. Tako su putnici namjernici mogli uživati u predstavljanju najnovijih kolekcija uglednih tvrtki, poput Morosa, B&B-a i drugih, mnoštvu popratnih događanja i performansa, ali i pogledu na goleme instalacije koje su na South Banku izradile arhitektice Zaha Hadid (“Urban Nebula”, skulptura (namještaj) izrađena od 150 betonskih blokova) i Amanda Levette (“Prototile” od coriana), dok je direktor Festivala Ben Evans zadovoljno trljao ruke zbog uspjeha koncepta da se tijekom sajma usko i konkretno isprepletu kreativci i proizvođači. Spomenute dvije skulpture, naime, ne bi mogle nastati bez sponzorstva tvrtki proizvođača materijala – DuPonta za corian i Aggrevate Ind. za beton. Upravo na tome načelu povezivanja struke i industrije počiva i “100% Design”, mjesto susreta čak 650 izlagača 15 Tema broja Središnji trg Dixonova kozmopolitskog grada - mjesto za druženje i razmjenu ideja / The central square of Dixon’s cosmopolitan town - a place for interaction and exchanging ideas iz Velike Britanije i ostatka svijeta, kojemu su pridružena još četiri srodna događanja. “100% Futures” je zamišljen kao prostor slobode za neafirmirane dizajnere (njih pedesetak) koji kontaktom s tvrtkama pronalaze one koji su zainteresirani za ulaganje u njihovu ideju, ili traže nove materijale u kojima se određeni dizajnerski predmeti mogu izraditi, a nastao je na temelju iskustva prijašnjih godina gdje su ovakve suradnje započinjale spontano i bez formaliziranja. Izložba “100% Details”, koja se ove godine održala peti put u sklopu “100% Designa”, bila je posvećena održivom graditeljstvu s malom emisijom ugljičnog dioksida i mogućnošću recikliranja, odnosno korištenja recikliranih materijala (već smo nekoliko puta napomenuli kako je građevinska industrija jedan od najvećih svjetskih zagađivača). Prijašnjih godina posjetitelji su se na “100% Details” navikli pronalaziti inovativna rješenja i nove materijale na području građevinarstva, a ove su se godine organizatori odlučili do kraja uhvatiti ukoštac s vrućom temom onečišćenja. Nizom seminara posjetitelje su upozoravali na nužnost promjena navika i uvođenja novih pravila u građevinskoj industriji, te isticali sredine u kojima su ti postulati već primijenjeni, poput londonskoga Gallions Parka. Jednu radionicu organizirao je i Greenpeace, a na izložbenome dijelu predstavljene su reciklirane staklene 16 pločice, građevinski blokovi od recikliranog drveta ojačani cementom, slama kao građevinski materijal, novi sustavi zelenih krovova koji integriraju izolacijska i ventilacijska rješenja, fotoosjetljivi filmovi koji se postavljaju na prozorska stakla... A unutar “100% Details” posebna je pažnja posvećena novim materijalima i kroz podsajam “100% Materials”, gdje su se posjetitelji mogli, ne samo kroz priču, nego i taktilno, vizualno i uporabno, upoznati s inovacijama na području materijala. Nužnost uštede energije i mogućnosti recikliranja trebali bi pri dizajnu biti jednako važna kategorija kao uporabna vrijednost i estetika - jedinstvena je misao pod kojom su se integrirali svi sajmovi “100% Designa”. Tako je na “100% Light” instalacija “Light Garden” (“Svjetlosni vrt”) Jason Burges Studija, koju je podržala Greenpeaceova kampanja protiv promjene klimatskih uvjeta, napravljena od mnoštva štednih žarulja u obliku vrta s cvijećem. U vezi s ovim konceptom valja istaknuti da svaka od štedljivih žarulja iz “Svjetlosnog vrta” tijekom svoga životnog vijeka od 16.000 sati, u odnosu na korištenje obične žarulje, smanji emisiju ugljičnog dioksida za nevjerojatnih 700 kg! Naime, poznato je da obične žarulje 95 posto energije potroše u obliku toplinske energije, a samo pet posto za svjetlost. Kod štednih je omjer 20 posto svjetlosti i 80 posto topline, te traju neusporedivo dulje (što smanjuje proizvo- Nina Tolstrup, kustosica štanda na kojem su izloženi radovi nove generacije mladih danskih dizajnera / Nina Tolstrup, custodian of the booth that exhibited works by the new generation of young Danish designers dnju, a samim time i daljnje zagađenje), pa su vrijedni ekolozi izračunali još jedan nevjerojatan podatak: kad bi se samo svi potrošači u Velikoj Britaniji prebacili na štedne žarulje, moglo bi se uštedjeti dovoljno energije svake godine da se zatvore dvije termoelektrane!? “100% Light” donio je novosti u arhitektonskoj i dekorativnoj rasvjeti, a osim za instalacije Toma Dixona i Jasona Brugesa, posjetitelji su pokazali najveće zanimanje za “Kineticu”, inovativan i zanimljiv štand koji se poigrava temom kretnje i kinetičke energije prikazane kroz svjetlosne efekte. Zanimljiva je Dixonova koncepcija samoga interijera sajma. Kreiran je teatar (Finnforest Merk Theatre) i središnji trg, mjesto za druženje i izmjenu ideja. Grad je korišten kao metafora, a Dixonova vizija je bila kozmopolitski grad gdje ljudi mogu učiti, povezati se, razmjenjivati ideje i zabavljati se na novome središnjemu trgu. Koncept je sasvim uspio, no kvaliteti sajma pridonijeli su i strogi kriteriji kojima je podvrgnut svaki potencijalni izlagač prije negoli su ga organizatori “pripustili” na Earl’s Court. Naime, svaki je aplikant, osim plaćanja pristojbe i zakupa štanda, morao proći i procjenu komisije sastavljene od uglednika iz svijeta dizajna i arhitekture kako bi posjetitelji doista mogli uživati u najboljemu i najkvalitetnijemu u suvreme- Štand kreativnog direktora sajma Toma Dixona izazvao je veliko zanimanje posjetitelja / The booth of the fair’s creative director Tom Dixon drew large attention from the visitors nome dizajnu. Novac je ovdje očito igrao bitnu ulogu, ali ne i presudnu. Briga za okoliš vidljiva je čak i u konceptu pripreme hrane na sajmu: oduševljenje svih prisutnih izazvao je angažman Acorn House Restauranta kao glavnog dobavljača hrane. Svaki aspekt Acorn House Restauranta, od dizajna do dostave, ekološki je osviješten. Restoran nudi povrće, meso i ribu iz održivih i ekoloških izvora, od lokalnih proizvođača, sav otpad iz kuhinje se reciklira ili pretvara u kompost i koristi za gnojenje, a pri dostavi se koriste prijevozna sredstva sa smanjenom emisijom štetnih plinova. 17 Proizvođači kupaonskog namještaja predstavili su svoje inovacije / Manufacturers of bathroom furniture presented their innovations Acorn House Restaurant Lime studio predstavio je podnu ležaljku na njihanje “Leaf” / Lime Studio presented the floor rocking chair “Leaf” Bambus kao inspiracija / Bamboo as an inspiration Kako je produženje životnoga vijeka materije i proizvoda moto četverodnevnoga okupljanja u Londonu, ni središnji dio “100% Designa” nije ostao bez rješenja na tome tragu. Tako je posjetiteljima predstavljeno mnoštvo zanimljivih ideja mladih dizajnera pod imenom “Redesign”: stolica skulptura (RD4 chair) napravljena od reciklirane plastike URE procesom koji štedi energiju, zatim stolica napravljena od čvrsto rolanih i spojenih novina (moguće ju je personalizirati prema najdražem štivu), sjedalica od odbačene kade... Cilj je svima isti: koristiti odbačene i reciklirane materijale i dokazati da se i sa smanjenom potrošnjom energije i materijala može stvoriti predmet vrijedan divljenja, uz opovrgavanje duboko ukorijenjene predrasude o manjoj estetskoj vrijednosti recikliranog proizvoda. No, recikliranje je tek djelić od 450 različitih ideja i koncepata koje su izlagači predstavili: namještaj, rasvjeta, podne i zidne obloge, kuhinje, kupaonice, dodaci... Veliki prostor zauzeli su izlagači koji proizvode zidne obloge, s mnoštvom zanimljivih materijala i najrazličitijih uzoraka. Metode uporabe su vrlo inovativne: tvrtka Pepper-mint je tako predstavila tapete koje se primjenjuju po principu magneta. Tanki sloj magneta na pozadini zidne tapete dopušta učestalu promjenu uzorka na zidu, čime se eliminira najveći problem upotrebe zidnih tapeta – strah da ne dosade. Britanska tvrtka Graham&Brown dokaza- 18 la je da je najjača u proizvodnji zidnih tapeta predstavivši odlične kolekcije zidnih tapeta nastale u suradnji s najpoznatijim svjetskim dizajnerima kao što su Basso&Brooke, kanadska Umbra, Andy Magee te prestižnim dizajnerskim koledžom Central St. Martins. Uz nove kolekcije navećih britanskih imena, poput Davida Chipperfielda, Simona Pengellyja, Pottinger and Colea, Susan Bradley..., “100% Design” se dodatno internacionalizirao predstavljanjem najzanimljivijih postignuća iz japanskog dizajna; Danci su se u okviru “100% Futures” predstavili zajedničkim projektom Made in Denmark; viđena su atraktivna rješenja iz Norveške, Italije, Turske, Njemačke, Švedske, a sve živahnija španjolska scena donijela je ponovno novitete svojih već afirmiranih i manje afirmiranih dizajnera. Jedan od najpopularnijih svakako je Jaime Hayon. Njemu je dodijeljena i uloga predavača na jednome od brojnih seminara, ali je i jedan od troje nominiranih za Wallpaperovu nagradu “100% Design London” (ostalih dvoje su Matthew Hilton i BarberOsgerby). Wallpaper je, valja reći, samo jedan od nekoliko dizajnerskih institucija ili medija čije se nagrade dodjeljuju u sklopu “100% Designa”. I to dovoljno govori o veličini i važnosti londonske smotre. Za razliku od razvikane i raskošne milanske Fiere, ovdje se možda događaju neke bitne promjene u poimanju dizajna. Struka ih je, čini se, već spremna prihvatiti. Cover st ory “100% DESIGN” - THE BRITISH GATHERING OF DESIGNER INNOVATIONS The Green Festival of Design in London Written by: Hela Biliæ and Ana Perišin Photo: Philip Vile Photography Graham&Brown zidne zapete nastale u suradnji s prestižnim londonskim fakultetom Central St Martin / Graham&Brown wallpapers created in cooperation with prestigious Central St Martin Faculty in London 19 Cover st ory Redesign - sjedalica pod nazivom “Plava marmelada” / Redesign - a chair called “Blue Marmalade” James Design The necessity of energy preservation and the possibility of recycling should be just as important a design category as utilization and aesthetics – that was the unique notion of “100% Design”. Everyone shared the same goal: to prove that it is also possible to create an admirable object by reducing the consumption of energy and materials, while also denying the prejudices about the smaller aesthetical value of a recycled product F act 1: Great Britain still trails the rest of the European Union when it comes to ecology and using new technologies in the construction industry, especially the Germans who pride themselves on being the leaders of this trend. Fact 2: The “100% Design” fair in London has decided to change the order of things in that sector. This year’s “100% Design”, as no other fair of design and architecture thus far, was marked by “the colour of green”, as well as sustainable growth, ecological products, recycling, energy preservation… Earl’s Court in London hosted, from the 20th to the 23rd of September and for the thirteenth time, the best from the world of architecture and design of interiors, furniture and accompanying products, and this year was the first time that famous designer Tom Dixon appeared as the creative director of the fair, which was appropriate because his career was launched during the first years of “100% Design”, largely due to the propulsion of the fair where he exhibited his early projects. This year’s “100% Design” went down as an integral part of the Design Festival in London, which traditionally takes place at four different locations in the British capital in the second half of September; people from the profession would claim that it is truly the most important part of the festival. Therefore, all the visitors could enjoy the presentations of newest collections by respectable companies, such as Moros, B&B and others, as well as plenty of accompanying events and performances, but also gazing at the enormous installations at South 20 Bank that were built by architects Zaha Hadid (“Urban Nebula”, a sculpture (furniture) made from 150 concrete blocks) and Amanda Levette (“Prototile” from corian), while the festival director Ben Evans happily watched the success of the concept that demanded close intertwining between the creators and the manufacturers during the fair. The two abovementioned sculptures clearly demonstrated that because they couldn’t have been created without the sponsorship of material manufacturers – “DuPonta” for corian and “Aggrevate Ind.” for concrete. It’s precisely that principle of connecting profession and industry that was the basis of “100% Design”, where 650 exhibitors from Great Britain and around the world encountered, but which also hosted four related happenings. “100% Futures” was imagined as a place of freedom for obscure designers (about fifty of them) to contact the companies in order to find those who are interested in investing into their ideas, or to find new materials for creation of certain designer products. This event was started based on experiences from previous years where these types of encounters would happen spontaneously and without formalizations. The “100% Details” exhibit, which was held within “100% Design” for the fifth time this year, was dedicated to sustainable construction with small emission of carbon monoxide and possible recycling, or usage of recycled materials (we’ve already mentioned several times that the construction industry is one of the largest polluters in the world). In previous years, visitors at “100% Details” were accustomed to finding innovative solutions and new materials in the field of construction, but this year the organizers decided to tackle the hot subject of pollution. A string of seminars was used to warn the visitors of the necessity of changing habits and introducing new rules in the construction industry, as well as point out the areas where those postulates have already been applied, such as Gallions Park in London. Greenpeace also organized a workshop, and its exhibit section displayed recycled glass tiles, construction blocks made out of recycled wood strengthened with cement, straw as a construction material, new systems of green roofs that integrate isolation and ventilation solutions, photo-sensitive films that are assembled to the glass on the windows… And within “100 Details”, special attention was also given to new materials through a sub-fair called “100 Materials”, where visitors could get introduced to innovations in the field of materials through tactile means, as well as visually and through utilization, and not just through stories. The necessity of energy preservation and the possibility of recycling should be just as important a design category as utilization and aesthetics – that was the unique notion that integrated all the booths at “100% Design”. Therefore at “100% Light”, we could see an installation called “Light Garden” by the Jason Burges Studio that was made out of a bunch of economical light bulbs and was shaped like a garden with flowers, which is a project that was supported by Greenpeace’s campaigning against climate changes. As far as this concept goes, it must be pointed out that each of the economical bulbs from the “Light Garden” has a life span of 16.000 hours, during which it reduces the emission of carbon monoxide for an astounding 700 kg when compared to regular bulbs. After all, it is common fact that regular bulbs spend 95% of their energy in the shape of heat energy, and only 5% as light.

Dixon’s concept of the fair’s interior was very interesting. He created a theatre (Finnforest Merk Theatre) and a central square as a place for interacting and exchanging ideas. The town was used as a metaphor, and Dixon’s vision established a cosmopolitan town where people can study, interact, exchange ideas and have fun at the new central square. The concept was a complete success, but the quality of the fair was also contributed by 22 the strict criteria that each of the potential exhibitors had to meet before the organizers would allow him to appear at Earl’s Court. Every applicant, besides paying the fee and renting a booth, had to pass the evaluation of the committee that consisted of prestigious members from the world of design and architecture, and that ensured that the visitors would truly enjoy the best projects with the most quality in contemporary design. Money was obviously a very important issue here, but not a crucial one. Concern for the environment was also visible even in the way food was prepared at the fair: all the people in attendance were enthralled by the appearance of Acorn House Restaurant as the main food caterer. Every aspect of Acorn House Restaurant, from design to the delivery, is ecologically conscious. The restaurant offers vegetables, meat and fish from sustainable and ecological resources, as well as from local manufacturers, and all the garbage from the kitchen is either recycled or turned into compost and used as manure, while only vehicles with reduced emission of harmful gases are used for delivery. Being that creating a longer life span for materials and products was the motto of the 4-day gathering in Lon- Sjedalica za konverzaciju dizajnerice Ane Linares predstavljena na 100% Futures / Designer Ana Linares’s conversation chair was presented at 100% Futures Interakcija produkt dizajna i mode - britanske “viseće košare” za cvijeće nastale u suradnji Jam-a i modnog dizajnera Ted Bakera / Interaction of product design and fashion - British “hanging baskets” for flowers that were created by Jam and fashion designer Ted Baker don, the central part of “100% Design” also had to provide some answers for that subject. Therefore, the visitors were introduced to many interesting ideas by young designers under the name of “Redesign”: a chair/sculpture (RD4 chair) made from recycled plastic with a URE process that preserves energy; also a chair made from firmly rolled and attached newspapers (it’s possible to personalize it according to one’s favourite thing to read), as well as a chair made from a rejected bathtub… Everyone shared the same goal: to use rejected and recycled materials and to prove that it is also possible to create an admirable object by reducing the consumption of energy and materials, while also denying the deeply rooted prejudices about the smaller aesthetical value of recycled products. However, recycling is just a small part of 450 different ideas and concepts that were presented by the exhibitors: furniture, lighting, coverings for walls and floors, kitchens, bathrooms, accessories… A large chunk of the space was taken up by exhibitors who produce wall coverings, and they had many interesting materials and various samples. The usage methods were very creative: the “Pepper-mint” company presented the wallpapers that are used by the magnet principle. A thin layer of a magnet at the back of the wallpaper allows the sample on the wall to be constantly changed, which eliminates the biggest problem when it comes to wallpapers – fear of boredom. British company “Graham&Brown” has proved that it’s the best manufacturer of wallpapers by presenting excellent collections that were created while working with the most famous designers in the world, such as Basso&Brooke, Umbra from Canada, Andy Magee, as well as the prestigious designer college Central St. Martins. In addition to the new collections by the biggest British names, such as David Chipperfield, Simon Pengelly, Pottinger&Cole, Susan Bradley… “100% Design” has added an international dimension by presenting the most interesting accomplishments from Japanese design; the Danes have, within the “100% Futures” exhibit, presented themselves with the joint project Made in Denmark; we witnessed attractive solutions from Norway, Italy, Turkey, Germany and Sweden, and the increasingly vivacious Spanish scene has again brought novelties from their established and not-so-established designers. One of the most popular exhibitors had to be Jaime Hayon. He was awarded with the role of teacher at one of the numerous seminars, but he was also one of the three people nominated for the Wallpaper Award “100% Design London” (the other two were Matthew Hilton and BarberOsgerby). It should be pointed out that Wallpaper is just one of several designer institutions or mediums that have their awards present at “100% Design”. And that speaks plenty enough about the grandeur and the importance of the fair in London. Unlike the overrated and sumptuous Fiera in Milan, this might just be the place for important changes when it comes to understanding design. It appears that the experts are already prepared to acknowledge them. 23 PENEZIÆ&ROGINA Arhitekti opæe prakse Poznati hrvatski arhitekti Krešimir Rogina i Vinko Penezić govore o svojim počecima, međunarodnom uspjehu, nedavno održanom grožnjanskom simpoziju i ostalim stvarima vezanim uz njihov rad i arhitektonsku scenu u Hrvatskoj V aš ulazak na arhitektonsku scenu bio je i više nego buran kada ste kao dvadesetpetogodišnjaci osvojili natječaj za gradnju sportskog kompleksa Mladost. Koje su bile pozitivne, a koje negativne strane osvajanja tako velikog natječaja neposredno nakon završetka fakulteta i bez prijašnje prakse? Penezić: Negativna strana je ta da smo brzo izgubili “nevinost”. Pozitivna je da smo kao vrlo mladi arhitekti, što je neuobičajeno za arhitektonsku profesiju, dobili priliku realizirati građevinu. Kaže se da su arhitekti mladi s četrdeset godina jer onda obično dolaze u priliku da počnu graditi kuće. Vrlo je dug proces stvarne edukacije i treninga kroz praksu da bi onda konačno došao u priliku da gradiš. Mi smo imali sreću da je odmah prvi pravi projekt koji smo napravili išao u realizaciju. I to je sigurno bio jedan strašan poticaj, otvorila su nam se vrata i naša karijera je krenula uzlazno. Poslije toga je uslijedilo i nekoliko značajnih natječaja isto tako velikog formata. Zanimljivo je da je bio paralelan i uspjeh u Japanu, tako da je ta dvojnost teoretskih projekata, refleksije i promišljanja o arhitekturi, i građenja, što je konačno smisao arhitekture, od početka bila prisutna u našem radu. Na neki način nas je ta dvojnost i odredila. Kao što ste napomenuli, postigli ste veliki uspjeh u Japanu. Godine 1984. ste osvojili prvo mjesto na Shinkenchiku competition, a nakon toga je uslijedilo još pet nagrada u Japanu – 1990., 1995., 1996., 1999. i 2001. godine. Kako objašnjavate uspjeh u Japanu i koliko je ta zemlja utjecala na vas? Rogina: Uspjeh objašnjavamo činjenicom da smo oduvijek zapravo shvaćali arhitekturu kao medij izražavanja 24 Razgovarala: Ivana Bioèina Foto: Kristina Faziniæ svojih svjetonazora i medij koji nastaje iz drugih domena koje nisu jedino arhitektonske; da nastaje iz onog što arhitektura treba generirati, a to je život sam. Mislim da smo tu dobro potezali referencije prema drugim disciplinama, prema situacijama koje su proizlazile iz tih disciplina. Nisu ljudi iz žirija nužno bili kompatibilni nama, pogotovo ne u početku, ali su pročitali tu neku iskrenost koja je kroz te radove izvirala. Shvatili smo arhitekturu kao jedan medij izražavanja. Ne isključivo arhitekturu kao građevinu, graditeljstvo, slaganje kamena na kamen. Jer arhitektura može biti i uklanjanje, rušenje. Arhitektura nije namijenjena isključivo vječnosti, ona nije nužno monument. Arhitektura je i sklop okolnosti koje čovjek može izrežirati i kojima onda može poboljšati životne situacije. “Probili smo led sa šest japanskih nagrada, dva nastupa na Venecijanskom bijenalu, nagradom za plivalište Mladost na Svjetskom bijenalu arhitekture u Sofiji, ali i s direktnom narudžbom koju smo dobili - za jedan trg u središtu Saint-Etienna” Ove godine je održan četvrti po redu Međunarodni simpozij za teoriju i dizajn u digitalno doba, pod nazivom Reality Chic: Arhitecture and Fashion. Simpozij se pod vašim vodstvom održava u Grožnjanu još od 1989. godine. Zašto ste osnovali simpozij i kako je bilo ove godine? Rogina: Osnovali smo ga okupivši jednu grupu entuzijasta krajem osamdesetih godina, kada je bila vrlo dinamična kulturna razmjena među raznim sredinama unutar bivše Jugoslavije, ali i izvan nje. Uskoro smo došli do profesora Nigela Whiteleyja i arhitekta Cederica Pricea koji su nam pružili potporu. Nismo htjeli osnovati ljetnu školu kakvih je Crkva u Dubrovniku / The church in Dubrovnik Atletski stadion Mladost / Mladost athletic stadium već bilo, na kojima su studenti odlazili u mala istarska mjesta mjeriti zgrade i raditi neke manje intervencije, nego jedan laboratorij za brainstorming koji se temelji ponajprije na promišljanju situacije u kojoj se čovjek trenutačno nalazi. To je bila osnovna ideja: imati teorijski dio, a kad se promisli taj teorijski dio, krenuti u praktičnu realizaciju. Penezić: Sam naslov simpozija je direktna referencija na knjigu Reynera Banhama koji zapravo ističe tu kombinaciju teorije i oblikovanja. Dakle, da svako oblikovanje kao kreativni proces svoje polazište ima u teoretskom procesu koji prethodi konačnom davanju oblika. Ove godine je tema bila “Arhitektura i moda”, što mislim da je vrlo zanimljivo i aktualno. Teoretski dio je vodio profesor Nigel Whiteley, to je četvrti put da je u Grožnjanu, a praktični dio smo vodili nas dvojica. U teoretskom dijelu, osim predavanja Nigela Whiteleyja, bilo je i predavanja drugih gostujućih predavača: profesor Žarko Paić s Tekstilno-te- Interview Stambena zgrada u Novoj Gradiški / A residential building in Nova Gradiška hnološkog fakulteta, naš najpoznatiji modni kritičar Nenad Korkut, dizajner nakita Nenad Roban i arhitekt Saša Begović. Ono što je nama zanimljivo u Grožnjanu jest to da se uvijek ide na neku granicu disciplina, razrađuju se dodirne točke s drugim disciplinama. To više nije interdisciplinarnost, nego postdisciplinarnost. U praktičnom dijelu radili smo poveznicu između arhitekture i mode, što je zanimljivo jer se te dvije discipline danas preklapaju. Moda se prije smatrala kao nešto efemerno, kratkotrajno, a arhitektura kao nešto ozbiljno, nešto što je za vječnost. Te su se pozicije promijenile i danas se arhitektura približila modi, unijela je dozu ležernosti, i arhitektura se definitivno više ne radi za vječnost kao što su se radile piramide i kako je arhitektura bila tretirana stoljećima. Danas su arhitektonski objekti kratkotrajnog vijeka, nešto što je potrošna roba, recimo kao neki automobil. Jedan od ideologa takvog pristupa arhitekturi je bio Cederic Price, čiji je duh 25 Interview Kuća Majetić / Majetić house Poslovna zgrada u Vukovaru / A business building in Vukovar 26 Caffe bar Elite i dalje prisutan u Grožnjanu. Svake godine 10. kolovoza, na dan njegove smrti, imamo posvetu, a ove godine je s tom posvetom počeo simpozij. Svrstani ste se među nekolicinu svjetskih ureda koji arhitekturu sustavno provode iz mehaničke u digitalnu eru. Što to znači? Rogina: Kao prvo, to znači da smo uvršteni u ediciju koja se zove IT Revolution in Architecture (Informatičko-tehnološka revolucija u arhitekturi), koju uređuje Antonino Saggio, profesor na La Sapienzi u Rimu. To je najznačajnija edicija koja se bavi transformacijom današnjeg svijeta i situacijom da više ne živimo i radimo onako kako smo to radili prije. Ta edicija se zapravo odnosi ponajprije na knjige koje autori pišu o određenim fenomenima, dok ima vrlo malo monografija o arhitektima koji se bave tom tematikom. Mi smo Saggiu zanimljivi zbog činjenice što su ljudi obično ili u digitalnoj arhitekturi ili su još uvijek u mehaničkoj praksi. On u našem uredu vidi činjenicu i mogućnost da jedan ured fuzionira i jednu i drugu stranu. U tom smislu apsolutnim remek-djelom smatra naš vrtić na Jarunu. Uvrštenje u tu ediciju i poziv Kurta Forstera na Venecijanski bijenale 2004. godine, kada je prvi put selektor pozvao hrvatske arhitekte da nastupaju na glavnoj izložbi Bijenala, potvrda su da je naš rad naišao na jednu jaku međunarodnu referenciju. Na Bijenalu smo nastupali i 2000. godine, kada smo bili odabrani kao hrvatski predstavnici. Mislim da smo na neki način ured koji je probijao led međunarodne afirmacije hrvatske arhitekture. Probili smo led sa šest japanskih nagrada, dva nastupa na Venecijanskom bijenalu, s tom knjigom, s nagradom za plivalište Mladost na Svjetskom bijenalu arhitekture u Sofiji, ali i s direktnom narudžbom koju smo dobili – za jedan trg u središtu Saint-Etienna. Caffe bar Elite Kakvo je danas stanje na arhitektonskoj sceni u Hrvatskoj? Penezić: Moram priznati da smo u prošlom desetljeću bili puno više društveno angažirani i prisutni u tim nekim arhitektonskim krugovima. Sad smo manje prisutni i u principu smo se okrenuli svom radu i svojim projektima. Što se tiče same arhitektonske klime u Hrvatskoj, mislim da je ona dobra, da je poticajna. Na scenu je izišla jedna nova generacija arhitekata koja je educirana na toj novoj digitalnoj stvarnosti, bez obzira što se to toliko kroz samu artikulaciju arhitekture još ne zamjećuje. Međutim, oni su djeca ove digitalne ere u kojoj živimo. Imali su sreću da im se otvori i društvo, da im omogući da dođu do poslova relativno rano. Mi smo se stvarno izborili u vrlo oštroj konkurenciji starijih i uglednih kolega. Danas je to vrlo otvoreno za mlade arhitekte i praktički već na početku karijere, ako imaju talenta i uz trud, mogu svoje projekte pretočiti u realizacije. Hrvatska arhitektura ima polet i svježinu. Danas je situacija u struci puno bolja, postoji komora za koju smo se borili devedesetih godina, pa i to sebi ubrajamo kao neku zaslugu. Konačno i stanje na tržištu je puno povoljnije za arhitekte. Investitori koji ulažu postali su svjesni toga da im kvaliteta donosi prestiž i određenu financijsku korist, te da je arhitektura postala brand. Žele se kroz arhitekturu reprezentirati u javnosti. Mislim da je to i najvažniji trenutak koji onda ide u korist kvalitetnoj arhitekturi. Što ne znači da i dalje jedan veliki postotak onoga što se gradi nije ispod svakog standarda i da se praktički za većinu toga ne bi smjele izdavati dozvole. Kako bi trebao izgledati grad 21. stoljeća? Rogina: Definitivno kaotično. Današnje kategorije nisu više klasične mehaničke, kategorije koje postavljaju line- Zlatarna Križek / Križek jewerelly “Dvojnost teoretskih projekata, refleksije i promišljanja o arhitekturi, i građenja, od početka je bila prisutna u našemu radu, a na neki način nas je ta dvojnost i odredila” arnost i red, nego su zapravo kategorije koje su sada zamijenjene postmodernističkim digitalnim kaosom. Grad 21. stoljeća bi trebao biti konfuzan. On se opredmećuje kroz transformacije, promjene, hibridnost i distorziju. Koji su vaši budući planovi? Rogina: I dalje ćemo biti na krijesti hrvatske arhitekture. Mi smo arhitekti opće prakse. Kao i svi kreativni biroi te vrste u svijetu, bavimo se jednim širokim rasponom arhitektonskih tipologija, koje se kreću od rekonstrukcije jednog stana do glomaznih urbanističkih studija, preko svih vrsta objekata – sakralnih, sportskih, stambenih, obiteljskih kuća itd. Time ćemo se baviti i dalje i bavit ćemo se na način da naš ured uvijek daje dodatnu vrijednost. Nikad se ne radi o konfekcijskoj proizvodnji, nego je to uvijek arhitektura s potpisom, arhitektura koja nosi brand. Penezić: Teško je bilo što planirati jer je vrijeme danas vrlo nestabilno. Nema više nikakvih ideologija. Živimo u posturbanističko i postpovijesno doba u kojem su sve opcije otvorene i jedino što je stalno jest promjena. Dakle, nešto planirati je nemoguće. U svojim smo se radovima uvijek referirali ponajprije na život, a ne na druge arhitektonske uzore ili recentna ostvarenja. Tako ćemo i dalje funkcionirati s obzirom da je život promjenjiv, da je on kategorija koju je nemoguće predvidjeti. Uvijek smo nastojali iščitavati vrijeme u kojem živimo i nadam se da će tako biti i ubuduće. 27 Interview PENEZIÆ&ROGINA Architects of General Practice Famous Croatian architects Krešimir Rogina and Vinko Penezić talk about their beginnings, international success, recently held symposium in Grožnjan, and other things regarding their work and the architectonic scene in Croatia Interviewed by: Ivana Bioèina Photo: Kristina Faziniæ 28 Krešimir Rogina i Vinko Penezić u svom uredu / Krešimir Rogina and Vinko Penezić in their office Y our arrival to the architectonic scene was more then tempestuous when you won the contest for constructing the Mladost Sport Centre at the age of 25. Which were the positive, and which were the negative sides of winning such a large contest right after graduating from college and with no previous working experience? Penezić: The negative side was that we lost our “virginity” very quickly. The positive side was that we received the opportunity to construct a building as very young architects, which is unusual for the architectonic profession. They say that architects are young at the age of forty because that’s when they usually receive an opportunity to build houses. The process of real education and training through practice is very long, and that’s when you usually get the opportunity to build. We had that luck to have the first real project we created immediately head into realization. That was definitely an enormous encouragement, as many doors opened for us and our career was on the way up. After that, several other important contests of equally big formats followed. What’s interesting is that we had parallel success in Japan, so that duality of theoretical projects, reflecting and pondering over architecture and then building, which is really the true meaning of architecture, has been present in our work since the beginning. In a way, that duality has also defined us. As you mentioned, you achieved a lot of success in Japan. You won the first prize at the Shinkenchiku Competition in 1984, and you followed up by receiving five more awards in Japan – in 1990, 1995, 1996, 1999 and 2001. How do you explain your success in Japan and in what way has that country influenced you? Rogina: We explain our success with a fact that we have always understood architecture as a medium of expressing our points of view, and a medium that is created out of different fields that are not necessarily architectonic; that is created out of what architecture should generate, and that is life itself. I think we did a good job of drawing references towards other disciplines, and towards situations that came out of those disciplines. It’s not that the judges were necessarily compatible to us, especially not in the beginning, but they noticed certain honesty that our works radiated. We understood architecture as one medium to express things. Not exclusively architecture as a building, construction, putting one stone onto the other. Because architecture can also be about removing and bringing things down. Architecture isn’t exclusively meant for eternity, it’s not necessarily a monument. Architecture is also a set of circumstances that a person can direct and use to improve the living situation. This year, we witnessed the fourth consecutive International Symposium of Theory and Design in the Digital Age, which was named Reality Chic: Architecture and Fashion. The symposium is held under your leadership in Grožnjan since 1989. Why did you start that symposium and how did it go this year? Rogina: We started it by gathering a group of enthusiasts in the late eighties, back when there was this very dynamic cultural exchange among different areas within ex-Yugoslavia, but also outside of it. We soon reached professor Nigel Whiteley and architect Cederic Price who gave us plenty of support. We didn’t want to start one of those summer schools that were plenty around, where students went to small Istrian towns to take measures of buildings and do some smaller interventions, but rather start a brainstorming laboratory that is primarily based on analysing the situation surrounding a person. That was the basic idea: to have a theoretical part, and when that is properly analysed, go forward with practical realization. Penezić: The very name of the symposium is a direct reference to a book by Reyner Banham, which actually points out this combination of theory and shaping. It says that every shaping process has its starting point in the theoretical process that comes before the final stages of the shaping process. This year’s theme was “Architecture and Fashion”, which I think is very interesting and current. The theoretical part was led Župni centar i samostan Trnje, Zagreb / Parish center and convent in Zagreb, Trnje Stambeno-poslovna zgrada za zbrinjavanje stradalnika Domovinskog rata / A residential-business building to provide for casualties of the War for Independence Scenografija Kviskoteke / Kviskoteka set 29 Pliva interijer / Pliva interior by professor Nigel Whiteley, which makes for his fourth visit to Grožnjan, and the practical part was led by the two of us. The theoretical part, besides Nigel Whiteley’s lectures, also featured lectures from other guest lecturers: professor Žarko Paić from the Textile-Technology Faculty, our most famous fashion critic Nenad Korkut, jewellery designer Nenad Roban and architect Saša Begović. What we always find interesting about Grožnjan is that it always touches upon borders between disciplines, as interacting points with other disciplines are analysed. That’s not really interdisciplinary any more, but it rather qualifies as post-disciplinary. In the practical part, we were trying to find a connection between architecture and fashion, which is interesting because those two disciplines are overlapping each other right now. Fashion used to be thought of as something ephemeral and short-lived, while architecture had the aura of something serious that is meant to last for eternity. Those positions have changed and today’s architecture is much closer to fashion, as it features a casual vibe, and it is definitely not done with eternity in mind, as was the case with the pyramids and as architecture was treated for centuries. Today’s architectonic objects are short-lived, something that is thought of as disposable goods, like maybe some car. One of the ideologists of such approach was Cederic Price, whose spirit still lives in Grožnjan. On August 10th of every year, which is the date of his death, we hold a little tribute, and that tribute opened this year’s symposium. You were included among several offices in the world that consistently transfer architecture from the mechanical to digital era. What does that mean? Rogina: First of all, that means that we were elected in 30 the edition that is called IT Revolution in Architecture (Information Technology Revolution in Architecture), which is edited by Antonino Saggio, who is a professor at La Sapienza in Rome. That is the most important edition that deals with how today’s world has transformed and how we don’t live or do things the way we used to. That edition primarily relates to books by authors who write about certain occurrences, while there are very few monographies about architects who deal with this topic. Saggio finds us interesting because people are usually either in digital architecture or are still practicing architecture in mechanical fashion. He sees our office as a fact and a possibility of an office that fuses both of those sides. In that sense, he considers our kindergarten at Jarun a true masterpiece. The inclusion in that edition and Kurt Forster’s invitation to the Venice Biennale in 2004, which was the first time that a selector invited Croatian architects to participate at Biennale’s main exhibit, confirm that our work has achieved a strong international reference. We also performed at the Biennale in 2000, when we were chosen as Croatian representatives. I think that all makes us an office that was breaking the ice in regards to Croatian architecture’s international affirmation. We broke the ice with six Japanese awards, two performances at the Venice Biennale, our book, an award for the “Mladost” swimming pool at the World Architecture Biennale in Sofia, as well as with the direct order we received – for a square in the centre of Saint-Etienne. What is the condition of the architectonic scene in Croatia today? Penezić: I have to admit that we were a lot more socially engaged and present in those architectonic circles during the last decade. Now we’re not quite as present and we are more focused on our work and our projects. As far as the architectonic climate in Croatia itself, I think it’s fairly good and encouraging. There is a whole new generation of architects on the scene, and they have been educated by this new digital reality, despite that not being so evident through the articulation of architecture itself. However, they are the children of this digital era we live in. They were also fortunate that society has opened up to them, which enabled them to reach work contracts relatively early. We really had to work hard for it in extremely stiff competition of older and more respected colleagues. It’s all very open for young architects today and they can achieve their projects, if they’re talented and work hard enough, practically at the beginning of their career. Croatian architecture has zeal and freshness. The situation in the profession is much better today; there is the chamber we fought for back in the nineties, so we can also take a little credit for that. And finally, the situation on the market is much more opportune for architects. Money-shelling investors are starting to realize that quality brings them certain prestige and financial benefit, and they view architecture as a brand. They want to present themselves in public through architecture. I think that’s the most important aspect that’s really useful to quality architecture. That doesn’t mean that a large percentage of what is built isn’t below any standard and licenses for most of that shouldn’t even be issued. Interview Stambena zgrada u Novoj Gradiški / A residential building in Nova Gradiška What should a city of the 21st century look like? Rogina: It should definitely be chaotic. Today’s categories aren’t classic mechanical categories that set up linearity and order, but they’re rather categories that have been replaced by post-modernistic digital chaos. The city of the 21st century should be confusing. It defines itself through transformations, changes, hybridisation and distortion. What are your plans for the future? Rogina: We will still be at the crest of Croatian architecture. We are architects of general practice. Just like all creative bureaus of this type in the world, we deal with a wide range of architectonic typologies, which range from reconstructing a single apartment to enormous urban studies, through all kinds of objects – sacral, sport, residential, family houses etc. That’s what we will keep doing and do so in a manner that implies our office as something that provides extra-value. It’s never about “ready-made” production, but it’s always architecture with a signature, and architecture that carries a brand. Penezić: It’s hard to make any plans because today’s world is very unstable. There are no more ideologies. We live in a post-urban, post-historical era where all options are open and the only constant thing is change itself. Therefore, planning things is impossible. We have always primarily referred to life in our works, and not to other architectonic role models or recent accomplishments. That’s how we’ll keep functioning because life is variable and is a category that is impossible to predict. We have always tried to interpret the time we live in and I hope that we’ll keep doing that. Olymptours interijer / Olymptours interior 31 Razgovarala: Aurelija Vukušiæ Zvonimir Marić, član Uprave KD Asset Managementa, govori o investiranju u tržište dionica u Hrvatskoj K oliko dugo postoji KD Group? Otkad posluje u Hrvatskoj? Što od svojih usluga nudi u Hrvatskoj? KD Group je 1992. osnovan u Sloveniji, a danas posluje u 10 država i upravlja s više od jednom milijardom eura imovine, te posluje u više grana djelatnosti: investicijski fondovi, brokerske kuće, osiguranja, bankarstvo, ulaganje u nekretnine, industrija zabave itd. Tvrtka je počela širenje izvan granica Slovenije 1997. godine, osnivanjem društva za upravljanje fondovima – Fondinvest (pravni prednik KD Investmentsa), a dvije godine poslije je s radom počeo i prvi dionički fond u RH, Victoria fond. Današnji fond KD Victoria ostvaruje vrlo dobre prinose te je tri puta proglašavan najboljim dioničkim fondom u Hrvatskoj. Danas društvo upravlja s još dva fonda, mješovitim KD Balanced i obvezničkim KD Adria Bond, a u postupku je pokretanje još dvaju fondova. Ukupna sredstva pod upravljanjem KD Investmentsa iznose više od 600 milijuna kuna. U 2005. godini KD Group je osnovao KD Asset Management, brokersku kuću u RH koja je svoju prvu transakciju napravila u rujnu iste godine. Od početka 2007. godine KD Asset Management počinje s upravljanjem individualnim portfeljima i registriran je kao full service brokerska kuća, što znači da može obavljati gotovo sve poslove na tržištu kapitala. Danas, KD Asset Management upravlja s 20 milijuna kuna u individualnim portfeljima. Kakvi su rezultati tvrtke KD Asset Management? Koliko zanimanje Hrvati pokazuju za ulaganje u vrijednosne papire? Rezultati su vrlo zadovoljavajući. U nepune dvije godine 32 Hrvati sve više vole vrijednosne papire Danas u Hrvatskoj ima dionica koje su nerazumno skupe, ali ne možemo govoriti o precijenjenosti svake dionice na tržištu. Točno je da je kod dijela dionica u cijenu već uračunat budući očekivani rast i razvoj. Bez obzira na to, moja je procjena da iznadprosječne prinose možemo očekivati do ulaska u EU – tvrdi Zvonimir Marić poslovanja dosegnuti su tržišni udjeli od dva posto, i u segmentu trgovine vrijednosnim papirima, i u segmentu upravljanja portfeljima. Već su to odlični pokazatelji za brokersku kuću koja je još relativno mlada te iza koje ne stoji neka velika banka. Tržišni udjeli i dalje imaju tendenciju rasta, posebno u segmentu individualnog upravljanja. Hrvati pokazuju veliko zanimanje za ulaganje u vrijednosne papire, što je u najvećoj mjeri posljedica doista primamljivih prinosa te toga da se gotovo nije moglo pogriješiti s izborom dionice. Međutim, treba biti oprezan jer će neizbježno doći i razdoblje s prosječnim prinosima, pa čak i gubicima na nekim dionicama. To je sve dio škole koju treba proći. Uglavnom, ako uzmemo u obzir pokazatelje za razvijena tržišta, prostora za rast hrvatskoga tržišta kapitala ima još jako puno. Koje su značajke usluge upravljanja individualnim portfeljima? Usluga je najsličnija ulaganju u dioničke fondove, ali ima svoje specifičnosti: funkcionira tako da investitor daje upravljaču na raspolaganje određena sredstva (trenutačni minimum iznosi 150.000 kuna) koje zatim upravljač ulaže prema vlastitoj procjeni poštujući investicijske smjernice. Smjernice se mogu, ali i ne moraju, ugovoriti. Usluga je vrlo transparentna jer je sve regulirano ugovorom te se na ime investitora otvara račun portfelja u SDA. Ulagač je u svakom trenutku upoznat sa strukturom svoga portfelja te sam može pratiti kretanje, a sve vrijednosnice su evidentirane kao vlasništvo investitora čime može ostvarivati sva prava vlasnika dionice. Zanimljivo je i to da investitor i upravljač dijele ostvarenu dobit, što je Invest icije Kretanje Crobexa od 3.9.2004. do 3.9.2007. / Crobex developments from September 3th 2004 to September 3th 2007 dodatna motivacija za upravljača da rezultati budu što bolji. Usluga se preporuča zahtjevnijim investitorima koji bi htjeli diverzificirati svoj portfelj imovine u nešto rizičniji ulagački oblik, te iskusnim ulagačima koji nemaju vremena ili želje pratiti svakodnevna kretanja na tržištu kapitala, ili žele dio svog portfelja prepustiti na upravljanje kao smanjenje rizičnosti u odnosu na njihove odluke. Trenutačno sredstva iz portfelja ulažemo samo na Zagrebačkoj burzi, ali u vrlo kratkom roku bit ćemo u mogućnosti ponuditi svim investitorima strukturiranje portfelja u regiji. Koliko je zanimanje građana za ovu uslugu? Zanimanje je veliko, čime su najviše pogodovali događaji na tržištu kapitala. I sami smo iznenađeni zanimanjem za navedenu uslugu jer ona ne spada u usluge za najširi krug investitora. Koji su benefiti ulaganja na ovaj način u odnosu na ulaganje u investicijske fondove, a koji rizici? Riječ je o fleksibilnom, individualiziranom i transparentnom ulaganju, što daje određenu sigurnost i kontrolu investitora. Upravljač ima pravo na udio u dobiti pa je motiviran da ostvari što bolji prinos. Osim toga, zbog manjeg broja dionica u portfelju negoli u fondu, očekivani prinos portfelja je nešto veći nego u dioničkom fondu. Odatle proizlazi i najveći nedostatak portfelja, a to je veća rizičnost nego kod nekog dioničkog fonda, ali strukturiranje portfelja prema sklonosti riziku investitora je opcija pri ugovaranju portfelja te se time ta rizičnost može ublažiti. Kakvo je stanje na tržištu dionica u Hrvatskoj i ovom dijelu Europe? Koliko se dugo još može očekivati ovako dinamično tržište s natprosječnim porastima vrijednosti? Koliko je današnje stanje utemeljeno na snazi lokalnoga gospodarstva, a koliko odraz trenutačne “mode”? Bez obzira na ljeto kada je došlo do stagnacije i pada cijena dionica na Zagrebačkoj burzi, mislim da je stanje vrlo dobro. Vrlo je pozitivno što su kompanije shvatile da je tržište kapitala mjesto gdje mogu potražiti kapital za svoj razvoj, te u ovome trenutku imamo najavljenih nekoliko javnih ponuda, osim T-HT-a. Mislim da će to dati dodatni zamah tržištu. I ostale države ovog dijela Europe prolaze svoj put prema tržišnom gospodarstvu. Neke su već primljene u EU, no to ne znači da su taj put već završile. Dok traju procesi tranzicije i privatizacije, očekuje se da će kompanije širiti svoje poslovanje i povećavati profitabilnost. Zbog toga gotovo sva navedena tržišta bilježe iznadprosječne prinose ovih godina. Očekuje se da će završetkom tih procesa prinosi pasti na svjetske razine od prosječno 10-15 posto godišnje. Danas ima dionica koje su nerazumno skupe, ali mislim da se ne može govoriti o generalnoj precijenjenosti tržišta. Točno je da je kod značajnog broja dionica u sadašnju cijenu već uračunat budući očekivani rast i razvoj. Bez obzira na to, moja je procjena da iznadprosječne prinose možemo očekivati do ulaska u EU. Nadalje, mišljenja sam da se više neće moći zarađivati na bilo kojoj dionici koja se kupi, nego će biti potreban dodatni oprez kod odabira dionica. Kako odabrati dobrog brokera? Je li istina da na hrvatskom tržištu nedostaje kvalitetnih i školovanih brokera, pogotovo onih s iskustvom? Koliko mi govori iskustvo, većina se odluka o brokeru donosi na temelju preporuke. Brokeri to znaju pa je i njima u interesu da budete zadovoljni. Situacija je takva da ćete rijetko naći brokera starijeg od 35 godina jer smo mlado tržište kapitala. Isto tako, očekivano “trajanje“ osobe na mjestu brokera je desetak godina i gotovo svi nakon nekog vremena ili potraže nove izazove ili pak zbog stresnih uvjeta rada osjete zasićenje i umor. Navedeni razlozi i velika ekspanzija tržišta u posljednje dvije godine možda su rezultirali određenim nerazmjerom potreba industrije i raspoloživih kadrova, jer treba neko vrijeme dok struka ne odgovori zadovoljavanjem potreba industrije koja naglo naraste. No, regulator i edukacijske ustanove dovoljno kvalitetno brinu o razvoju kvalitetnih i vjerodostojnih kadrova. Koji instrumenti osiguranja jamče ulagaču da će broker raditi dugoročno u njegovu korist? Čvrstih instrumenata osiguranja nema. Zbog toga je investicijska industrija jedna od najnadziranijih i najreguliranijih. Isto tako, ovdje opet dolazi do izražaja snaga preporuke. Ako broker želi biti uspješan, on gradi dobar glas za sebe i za svoju kuću, te je njegov prioritet da radi u najboljem interesu klijenata. 33 Zvonimir Marić, member of KD Asset Management’s Board of Directors, speaks about investing into the stock market in Croatia Croatians Starting to Like Securities More and More Interviewed by: Aurelija Vukušiæ H There are shares that are unreasonably expensive in Croatia these days, but we can’t say that every share on the market is overestimated. It’s correct that the expected rise and progress of some shares is calculated into the price. Regardless of that, it’s my prediction that we can expect aboveaverage profits by the time we enter the EU – says Zvonimir Marić ow long has KD Group been existent? Since when does it do business in Croatia? Which of their services are offered in Croatia? KD Group was founded in Slovenia in 1992, and today it does business in 10 countries and manages over one billion euros of assets while dealing with numerous business branches: investment funds, broker houses, insurances, banking, investing into real estate, entertainment industry etc. The company started expanding outside Slovenian borders in 1997 by founding an association for fund management – Fondinvest (legal predecessor to KD Investments), and two years later the first stock fund in Croatia, Victoria Fond, started operating. Today’s KD Victoria Fond achieves very decent profits and has been declared the best stock fund in Croatia three times. These days, the organization manages two other funds, and those are the mixed KD Balanced and the bond-dealing KD Adria Bond, and starting two more funds is under way. Overall assets under KD Investment’s management mount up to over 600 million kunas. In 2005, KD Group founded KD Asset Management, which is a broker house in Croatia that performed its first transaction in September of that year. Since early 2007, KD Asset Management started managing individual portfolios and is registered as a full-service broker house, which means that it can perform almost all transactions on the financial market. KD Asset Management today manages over 20 million kunas in individual portfolios. What are the results of KD Asset Management? What sort 34 of interest do Croatians show for investing into securities? The results are very satisfactory. In nearly two years of doing business, market portions of about two percent were reached in both the segment of trading securities and the segment of managing portfolios. Those are already excellent indicators for a broker house that is relatively young and that doesn’t have a large bank watching its back. Market portions still have a growing tendency, especially in the segment of individual management. Croatians are showing great interest in investing into securities, which is primarily the consequence of truly tempting profits and the fact that you could almost do no wrong when it came to choosing the shares. However, being careful is necessary because there will inevitably come a period with average profits, even with losses on some shares. That’s all part of the process that needs to happen. Anyway, if we take indicators for developed markets into consideration, the Croatian financial market has plenty of room to grow. Which are the significant characteristics of the service of managing individual portfolios? That service is most similar to investing into stock funds, but it also has some specific characteristics: it functions so that the investor gives the manager certain funds to his disposal (current minimum is 150.000 kunas), which the manager then invests by his own judgement while respecting investment guidelines. The guidelines can, but don’t have to be put into the contract. Brokeri u svom uredu / Brokers in their office The service is very transparent because everything is regulated by the contract and a portfolio account within the SDA is opened on the investor’s name. The investor is familiar with the structure of his portfolio at any time, and can also follow the occurrences himself, while all the securities are accounted for as the investor’s property, which allows him to fulfil all his rights as the owner of the shares. What’s also interesting is that the investor and the manager share the accomplished profits, which is extra-motivation for the manager to ensure that the results are the best that they can be. The service is recommended to the more demanding investors who would like to diversify their asset portfolios into a slightly more risky investment form, as well as to experienced investors who don’t have the time or desire to follow the every-day events on the financial market, or who want to release a part of their portfolio to the manager in order to reduce the risk that their decisions would bring. At the moment, the portfolio funds are solely invested at the Zagreb Stock Market, but very shortly we will be able to offer any investor the option of structuring the portfolio in the region. What’s the citizens’ interest for this service like? The interest is large, which was primarily caused by the events on the financial market. We are also surprised by the amount of interest for this service because it’s not exactly a service for the widest circle of investors. Which are the benefits of this type of investment as opposed to investing into investment funds, and which are the risks? This is a flexible, individualized and transparent investment, which provides a certain amount of security and investor’s control. The manager is entitled to a part of the profit, which makes him motivated to achieve the best profit he can. Besides, due to the smaller number of shares in a portfolio than in a fund, the portfolio’s anticipated profit is slightly larger than in an investment fund. That’s also the biggest shortcoming of a portfolio, because the degree of risk is much higher than with some stock fund, but there is also an option of structuring the portfolio in proportion with the investor’s tendency towards risk, so that degree can be reduced. What is the condition at the Croatian stock market, as well as in this part of Europe? For how long can we expect this sort of dynamic market with above-average increases of value to last? How much is the state of today’s market based on the strength of the local economy, and how much is it a reflection of momentary “fashion”? Regardless of the summer when the Zagreb Stock Market witnessed stagnation and drops of the prices, I think the condition is rather good. It’s very positive that the companies understand that the financial market is the place where they can look for funds for their development, so right now we have several announced public biddings 35 Brokeri KD Asset Managementa Zagreb / Brokers of KD Asset Management Zagreb besides T-HT. I think this will provide an extra-push for the market. The other countries of this part of Europe are also going through their path towards market economy. Some of them have been inducted into the EU, but that doesn’t mean that they completed that process. While the processes of transition and privatisation are lasting, it is expected that the companies will spread their businesses and increase profitability. That’s the reason almost all the mentioned markets have reached aboveaverage profits all these years. It is expected that, once these processes are finalized, the profits will drop to the world average of about 10-15 percent per year. There are some shares today that are unreasonably expensive, but I think that we can’t talk about the general overestimation of the market. It’s true that the expected rise and progress of some shares is calculated into their price. Regardless of that, it’s my prediction that we can expect above-average profits prior to entering the EU. Furthermore, I think that you won’t be able to make money on any random share you purchase, but you will need to be extra-careful while choosing the shares. How do we choose a good broker? Is it true that the Croatian market is lacking in educated and quality brokers, especially those with an experience? According to my experience, most of the decisions on the broker are based on recommendations. The brokers know that, so it’s in their best interest to keep you satisfied. The situation is such that you’ll hardly find a broker over the age of 35 because our financial market is young. Also important, the expected “duration” of the person working as a broker is about ten years, and after that almost everyone either looks for new challenges or becomes tired and fed up due to stressful working conditions. Those mentioned reasons and the great market expansion over the last two years may have resulted in a certain disproportion of the industry’s needs and the available personnel, for it will take some time before the profession answers by satisfying the needs of the industry that suddenly grows. However, regulators and educational institutions are doing a good job of looking after the development of quality and trustworthy personnel. Which insurance instruments guarantee the investor that the broker will work to his long-term benefit? There are no firm instruments of insurance. That’s why the investment industry is one of the most supervised and regulated. Also, this is where the power of recommendation comes into play. If the broker wants to be successful, he must build a good reputation for himself and his house, and it’s his priority to work in the best interest of the clients. 37 Ekotoranj Možda nije daleko dan kada će svaki kvart u razvijenim zemljama morati izgraditi po nekoliko ovako koncipiranih ekotornjeva, a ne bi bilo loše kad bi se oni počeli što prije koristiti. Koncept betonskog ili čeličnog tornja na sedam katova, uokvirenog zelenilom na svakome katu, nije samo oku ugodan nego i vrlo koristan za okoliš. Zeleni pojas istodobno skuplja vodu kojom se bilje samo “zalijeva” te stvara kisik, a na vrhu su turbina za stvaranje energije vjetra i solarne ćelije. Novostvorena energija vjetra i sunca skladišti se u akumulatorima ispod tornja, a koristi se za različite javne namjene zajednice. The Eco-Tower The day when every neighbourhood in developed countries will have to build several eco-towers of this concept may not be too far away, and it wouldn’t be a bad thing if they started being used as soon as possible. The concept of a concrete or steel seven-storey tower, embellished by greenery on each of the floors, is not just pleasant to the eye, but also very useful for the environment. The green belt simultaneously collects water that the plants use themselves and creates oxygen, and the top features a turbine for creating wind energy and solar cells. The newly created energy of the wind and sun is stored in accumulators beneath the tower, and it is used for different public purposes of the community. Rebranding Duhana među pet na svijetu Da u dizajnu Hrvatska na svjetskom tržištu ima što pokazati, redovito dokazuju priznanja našim marketinškim i dizajn agencijama na prestižnim međunarodnim natječajima. Među dobitnike se nedavno uvrstio i riječki Studio Conex, agencija čiji je rad na izmjeni identiteta tvrtke Duhan u golemoj konkurenciji ocijenjen kao jedan od pet najboljih na svijetu u protekloj godini na području rebrandinga. Nagrada ReBrand 100 dodijelila se treći put, a uz Studio Conex i Duhan, dobitnici su i Hard Rock International, volonterska udruga Ujedinjenih naroda ili Procter&Gamble. 38 Kozmodrom Normana Fostera Tvrtki Foster+Partners, čiji je čelni čovjek Norman Foster, jedan od najnagrađivanijih arhitekata današnjice, pripala je čast projektiranja prve privatne “svemirske luke”, odnosno kozmodroma u New Mexicu, čija bi gradnja trebala početi do kraja godine. Sinusoidni oblik zgrade te interijer izrazito će asocirati na NLO, čime se nastojalo dočarati dramu i misterij svemirskoga leta te artikulirati uzbuđenje koje će pratiti prve svemirske turiste. © Foster&Partners Vijest i Norman Foster’s Cosmodrome The company “Foster+Partners”, led by Norman Foster who is one of the most awarded architects of our time, has received the honour of projecting the first private“space harbour”, better known as the cosmodrome in New Mexico, and its construction should begin by the end of the year. The sinuousoidal shape of the building and the interior will strongly bring the UFO to mind, which is an attempt to recreate the drama and the mystery of flying into space, as well as articulate the excitement that will accompany the first space tourists. The “Duhan” Re-Branding in the World’s Top Five The fact that Croatia has a lot to offer on the world design market is regularly demonstrated by the awards our marketing and designer agencies receive at prestigious international contests. The new spot in the winners’ circle recently went to Studio Conex from Rijeka, which is an agency that has recently changed the identity of the “Duhan” (“tobacco”) company, and their work was judged as one of the top five in the world last year in the enormous competition in the field of re-branding.The ReBrand 100 Award was presented for the third time, and along with Studio Conex and Duhan, the winners also included Hard Rock International, the voluntary association of the United Nations or Procter&Gamble. Zeleni indijski neboder Panorama Mumbaija će 2010. godine biti bogatija za jedinstvenu zgradu. India Tower bit će visok 301 metar, a u njemu će se naći hotel Park Hyatt, luksuzni stanovi i mnoštvo sadržaja namijenjenih ponajviše trošenju – restorani, barovi, skupe prodavaonice... Zanimljivo je pritom da će se tri odvojene funkcije – stambena, hotelska i poslovna – odvojiti i arhitektonski kroz tri dijela nebodera koji će se rotirati pod kutem. Rotirajući će neboder imati i cijeli niz inovativnih metoda za očuvanje energije, poput solarne zaštite, prirodne ventilacije, prikupljanja kišnice i korištenja “zelenih” materijala u gradnji. Filharmonija sutrašnjice u Parizu Pripremila / Edited by: Aurelija Vukušiæ Prepoznatljiv autorski rukopis Jeana Nouvela od 2012. bit će neraskidivo vezan i uz Parišku filharmoniju. Novi hram glazbe u Parizu obuhvaćat će 20.000 četvornih metara, s 2400 mjesta, i bit će ponajprije posvećen simfonijskoj glazbi, no golema i, stručnjaci tvrde, akustički savršena dvorana, moći će ugostiti i jazz ili druge glazbene izvedbe. Djelo Jeana Nouvela pobjeglo je od standardnog frontalnog modela te će glazbenici biti okruženi sa svih strana, čime će se postići veća intimnost između izvođača i publike. News The Green Indian Skyscraper Mumbai’s panorama will be richer for one unique building by 2010. The India Tower will be 301 metres high, and it will feature the Park Hyatt Hotel, luxurious apartments and plenty of features that are dedicated to consumption – restaurants, bars, expensive shops… What’s interesting is the fact that the three separate functions – residential, hotel and business – will also be architecturally separated through three sections of the skyscraper that will rotate themselves under a certain angle. The rotating skyscraper will also feature a whole string of innovative methods for energy preservation, such as solar protection, natural ventilation, collecting rainwater and using “green” materials in construction. Kućica za samce Poljski arhitektonski studio Front Architects osmislio je Single Hauz, projekt izgledom najviše nalik na kućicu za ptice, čija se inovativnost ogleda u činjenici da ga je moguće posaditi doista – bilo gdje. Tražeći idealni dizajn kuće, autori su bili zagolicani izgledom billboarda, ali i socijalnom činjenicom o sve više “single” kućanstava, pa je njihov dom svojim minijaturnim dimenzijama doista prilagođen životu samo jedne osobe. The Philharmonics of Tomorrow in Paris Jean Nouvel’s recognisable author’s stamp will be irreversibly connected to the Paris Philharmonics by 2012. The new temple of music in Paris will spread across 20.000 square metres, featuring 2400 seats, and will primarily be dedicated to symphony music; however, the enormous and, according to experts, acoustically perfect hall will also be able to host jazz and various other musical performances. Jean Nouvel’s work has escaped from the standard frontal model and the musicians will be surrounded from all sides, which will accomplish a larger degree of intimacy between the performers and the audience. A Small House for Single People Polish architectonic studio Front Architects has designed Single Hauz, which is a project that mostly resembles a birdhouse, and the innovation of which is reflected in the fact that it is possible to plant it – just about anywhere. While searching for the ideal house design, the authors were intrigued by the billboard look, but also by the social fact that there is an increasing number of “single” households, so their home with its miniature dimensions is truly adjusted to a life of one single person. 39 Dvorac Trakošćan / Castle Trakošćan Foto: Milan Babić, HTZ Akt ualno Hrvatski dvorci - kulturni i gospodarski potencijal koji propada Projekt Villas za oèuvanje graditeljske baštine Samo deset posto od stotinjak starih, kulturnih građevina je uređeno i transparentno – ostalo je prepušteno propadanju, bez riješene vlasničke strukture. Pedeset posto dvoraca je bez ikakve namjene, a vlasnici nemaju novca za njihovu prenamjenu Piše: Mary Novosel 40 Foto: HTZ, www.dvorci.hr K ulturno naslijeđe – očuvano i upravljano na primjeren način – može imati važnu ulogu u prostornom i gospodarskom razvoju pojedine regije. Upravo je ta rečenica sažeta ideja vodilja međunarodnog projekta Villas, kojem je cilj jačanje gospodarske kohezije europskog prostora povećanjem vrijednosti kulturnog naslijeđa sastavljenog od povijesnih dvoraca, kurija, vila i ljetnikovaca. Projekt Villas, pod punim nazivom “Villas, stately homes and castles – compatible use, valorisation and creative managment“, uključuje 16 institucija iz Austrije, Italije, Hrvatske i Grčke. Glavni koordinator projekta za Hrvatsku je Arhitektonski fakultet Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, a glavni voditelj prof. Mladen Obad Šćitaroci. Cijela akcija snimanja stanja te pronalaženja eventualnih rješenja završila je neslavnom konstatacijom – Hrvatska se, istina je, može podičiti brojnošću dvoraca, kurija i ljetnikovaca i tu priča prestaje jer je samo deset posto od stotinjak tih starih, kulturnih građevina uređeno i transparentno – ostalo je prepušteno propadanju, bez riješene vlasničke strukture. Pedeset posto dvoraca je bez ikakve namjene, a vlasnici nemaju novca za njihovu prenamjenu. Država vlasnik većine devastiranih dvoraca – Teška situacija u kojoj su se našli hrvatski dvorci i kurije jedino se može riješiti povećanim senzibilitetom znanstvenika, vlasnika i korisnika dvoraca te službi zaštite kulturnoga naslijeđa te lokalne uprave za ovu tematiku, koja bi se, osim očuvanja, trebala pozabaviti i suvremenom namjenom dvoraca te njihovom prilagodbom suvremenim zahtjevima. U dužem roku se očekuju pozitivni učinci na lokalne zajednice kroz mogućnosti in- Foto: Darko Gorenak Stari grad u Varaždinu / Old town in Varaždin vestiranja, promociju dvoraca te osmišljavanje ponude kulturnog turizma. Zbog toga je potrebno definirati prihvatljive oblike prenamjene povijesnih građevina što bi poticalo privatno poduzetništvo i onda bi te povijesne građevine bile pokretači razvoja šireg područja – kaže Nikša Božić, dipl. ing. arh., tajnik hrvatskog dijela projekta. Kako dalje navodi, problem predstavlja činjenica da su vlasnici dvoraca najčešće prepušteni sami sebi i od nadležnih državnih i lokalnih institucija mogu očekivati samo restrikcije koje definiraju službe zaštite, a ne i poticaje i potporu za projekte. Najbolji primjer za to je, prema našim informacijama, obitelj Dubravke i Dubravka Hoića koja je kupila svoj mali dvorac Bela II u nadi da će ga potpuno obnoviti, no, prema njihovim riječima, obnova zapinje gdje god stigne. Dvorac je još uvijek u fazi obnove koja traje i traje jer se na svaki odgovor čeka po godinu, dvije. S obzirom da svi ne mogu dobiti novac od države, pokrenuta je internetska stranica “dvorci.hr“ koja brojnim zainteresiranima može pružiti svojevrsni okvir u kojem bi se definirali načini i strategije ekonomske iskoristivosti tih povijesnih građevina, kaže ing. Božić, te dodaje kako su trenutačno najveći problemi neriješena vlasnička pitanja i financije. Iako je Villas podignuo svijest kod građana i vlasnika dvoraca, još uvijek nema dobro osmišljenih projekata. Vlasnik većine tih dvoraca je država, što često zna rezultirati svojevrsnom tromošću velikih sustava. Prema riječima ing. Božića, kod nekih dvoraca, poput Novih dvora zaprešićkih, poklopilo se prilično sretnih okolnosti pa se uspjelo s dobrim programom i riješenom vlasničkom strukturom dobiti novac iz jednog od fondova EU-a. Počela je obnova etapu po etapu. Plan je u 41 Dvorac Erdödy u Jastrebarskom / Caste Erdödy in Jastrebarsko prostorima tih dvora otvoriti sveučilišni centar i za sada sve teče prema planu. Sudski spor “težak“ 10 godina i 8 milijuna kuna Iako su neki dvorci pravi biseri naše baštine i obnovljeni služe na čast turističkoj slici Hrvatske, poput Trakošćana, Velikog Tabora, Bežanca, Miljane, Kulmerovih dvora, Dvorca Pejačević, Đurđevca, Lukaveca i Staroga grada, te se uz pomoć brojnih kulturnih i gospodarskih sadržaja sasvim dobro nose s modernim tokovima, većina građevina ne može se podičiti tom srećom da ih itko posjećuje ili im posvećuje bilo kakvu pažnju. Tipičan primjer neprepoznatog blaga svakako je varaždinski dvorac Opeka, u državnom vlasništvu, koji, osim zdanja, uključuje i 60-hektarski arboretum prepun različitih vrsta biljaka i drveća. – Ovaj dvorac, popularno nazvan Bombelles, potpuno je pust više od 40 godina i sustavno propada. Iako je izrađen elaborat, još uvijek sve stoji, obnove nema. Pažnja se djelomično posvećuje arboretumu koji bi, uz malo više interesa, mogao postati prekrasan javni park – kaže Željko Trste- 42 njak, dipl. ing. arh. iz Konzervatorskog odjela Varaždina. Sličnu sudbinu doživio je i dvorac Bosiljevo, za koji je pak ozbiljno zainteresiran privatni poduzetnik Siniša Križanec, vlasnik dvorca Bežanec, no kako kaže gospodin Križanec, lokalna samouprava je svojom pasivnošću “zakočila“ projekt i time još više ugrozila alarmantno stanje dvorca Bosiljevo. – Sve je počelo prije desetak godina, kada sam htio zakupiti Bosiljevo, ali mi je ugovor, zbog niza zavrzlama, poništen i cijeli je slučaj još uvijek na sudu. S obzirom da sam već uložio neki novac, koji sa sudskim troškovima iznosi osam milijuna kuna, želim to dovesti do kraja. Spreman sam se odreći tih potraživanja ako se uspijemo nagoditi da se dvorac ipak završi jer je to u interesu cijelog kraja – kaže Siniša Križanec, čiji dvorac Bežanec godinama posluje kao poznati hotel, restoran i vinoteka, te je jasan pokazatelj da vlasnik ima iskustva u realizaciji sličnih projekata. Obnova i strategija jedine zaustavljaju propadanje Da problemi s konačnim vlasništvom i dogovorom oko Dvorac Vragović-Patačić-Schlippenbach u Maruševcu / Castle Vragović-Patačić-Schlippenbach in Maruševac strategije dvorca nisu kraj putovanja, dokazale su obitelji Kajfež i Floegel koje se, svaka na svoj način, bore za opstanak njihovih velebnih zgrada koje su im pružile mnogo izazova. Gospođa Lada Szabo-Kajfež provela je sedamnaest godina u dvorcu Miljana koji je njezin pokojni suprug Franjo, svjetski poznati kemičar i hrvatski političar, preuredio prema izvornim nacrtima iz 17. stoljeća. No, pokazalo se da je život u dvorcu skup, čak 50 tisuća eura na godinu, pa je nedavno, bez obzira na privrženost zdanju, došlo do dogovora u obitelji da se njihov potpuno uređen dvorac Miljana proda za 4,6 milijuna eura. Prema riječima gospođe Kajfež, zainteresirani kupci neprekidno zovu jer je tih 2500 metara četvornih, koji uključuju 11 luksuznih i tri rustikalna salona, s 10 hektara okućnice, svakako zanimljiva parcela s raznim sadržajima i mogućnostima. Prodaja se malo otegla i zbog dogovora u obitelji kojoj je stalo da dvorac dospije u prave ruke, inače ga, kažu, radije neće prodati. Iz iste Krapinsko-zagorske županije je i dvorac Sveti križ Začretje u vlasništvu dr. Janka Mršića-Floegela. Obitelj se Akt ualno ozbiljno prihvatila obnove ove kasnobarokne građevine iz 18. stoljeća, koju su 2001. godine, u prilično devastiranom stanju, otkupili od Poljoprivredne zadruge. Kupnjom je zaustavljeno 70-godišnje propadanje te je počela zahtjevna i skupa obnova. – Obnovljeni dvorac će biti dostupan javnosti, a sadržavat će institut za informatičke inovacije, internetsku radionicu, seminarske dvorane, multimedijski opremljenu konferencijsku dvoranu i muzejski prostor u kojem će biti predstavljen izbor višestoljetnog obiteljskog inventara – kaže prof. dr. Mirna Mršić-Floegel, majka spomenutog vlasnika, dodajući kako je nakon rekonstrukcije građevine realno očekivati da će njihov dvorac postati atraktivna poslovna, kongresna i kulturno-turistička destinacija tijekom cijele godine. Posjetitelji su oduševljeni, kaže, sve bogatijim kulturnim programom, od izložbi, koncerata do promotivnih predavanja. To bi mogla (i morala) biti sudbina svakog dvorca u Hrvatskoj jer, kaže, kultura baštine ovisi o kulturi baštinika. Baštinjenim spomenicima kulture ne koriste ni popisi ni otpisi, nego stvarna potpora održanju, obnovi i revitalizaciji. 43 Foto: Milan Babić, HTZ Dvorac Ratkaj u Velikom Taboru / Castel Ratkaj in Veliki Tabor Croatian Castles – Cultural and Economic Potential that Is Falling into Decay Project Villas for Preservation of Construction Heritage Merely ten percent of about hundred old, cultural buildings are maintained and transparent – the other ones are left into ruin, without the defined ownership structure. Fifty percent of the castles have no purpose at all, and the owners don’t have the money to change their purpose C ultural heritage – maintained and managed in an exemplary way – can have an important role in spatial and economic development of a certain region. That precise sentence is the concise guiding line of an international project called Villas, which aims at strengthening the economic cohesion of the European space by enlarging the value of the cultural heritage that consists of historic castles, curias, villas and summer 44 Written by: Mary Novosel resorts. Project Villas, fully named “Villas, Stately Homes and Castles – Compatible Use, Valorisation and Creative Management”, includes 16 institutions from Austria, Italy, Croatia and Greece. The head coordinator of this project for Croatia is the Architectonic Faculty within the Zagreb University, and the head manager is professor Mladen Obad Šćitaroci. The whole process of detecting the condition and finding potential solutions has resulted in a miserable conclusion – it’s true that Croatia can boast with Event s Dvorac Bežanec / Castle Bežanec numerous castles, curias and summer resorts, but that’s where the story ends because only ten percent of about hundred of those old, cultural buildings are maintained and transparent – the other ones are left into ruin, without the defined ownership structure. Fifty percent of the castles have no purpose at all, and the owners don’t have the money to change their purpose. The Government Owns the Majority of Ruined Castles - This difficult situation that has occurred in regards to Croatian castles and curias can only be solved by increasing the sensibility of scientists, owners and users of the castles, as well as of those services that protect cultural heritage and local administration offices, because part of the problem, besides maintenance, is also the contemporary utilization of these castles and their adjustment to modern demands. In the long term, positive effects on local communities are expected, as there are many options of investments, promoting the castles and designing the offering for cultural tourism. That’s why it’s necessary to define acceptable ways of converting those historic buildings, which would encourage private businesses, and then those historic buildings would become initiators of the wider areas’ developments – says Nikša Božić, architecture engineer and secretary of the Croatian section of the project. He also says that the problem is the fact that the castles’ owners are often left by themselves and all they can expect from authorized government and local institutions are restrictions that are designed by the protection services, but not any encouragements or support for their projects. According to our information, the best example for that is the family of Dubravka and Dubravko Hoić, who bought their little castle Bela II. in hope of completely renovating it, but according to what they say, the renovation proc- Veliki Tabor ess is constantly being interrupted. The castle is still in the renovation phase that just keeps dragging on because it takes a year or two to answer a simple question. Considering the fact that not everyone can get their hands on government money, an Internet site “dvorci. hr” was launched and that’s where numerous interested people can get acquainted with the frame that would define ways and strategies of these historic buildings’ economic utilization, engineer Božić says, and adds that the biggest current problems include unresolved ownership issues and finances. Although Villas has raised the consciousness among the citizens and castle owners, well-designed projects are still lacking. The government owns the majority of these castles, which often results in some sort of sluggishness that big systems display. According to engineer Božić’s words, some castles, such as Novi Dvori Zaprešićki, have encountered some pretty lucky circumstances, and eventually a good programme and a resolved ownership structure led to the money from one of the EU funds. One step after the other, and the renovation has begun. The plan is to open a university centre in that facility and, so far, everything is going to plan. A Court Litigation “Worth” 10 Years and 8 Million Kunas Although some castles are true pearls of our heritage and their now-renovated versions are proud staples on Croatia’s tourist picture, such as Trakošćan, Veliki Tabor, Bežanec, Miljani, Kulmerovi Dvori, Castle Pejačević, Đurđevac, Lukavec and Stari Grad, which do a perfectly good job of dealing with modern times thanks to numerous cultural and economic features, most of the buildings aren’t lucky enough to have anyone visit them or give them any attention. A typical example of unrecognised treasure is certainly 45 Dvorac Trakošćan je najpoznatiji i najposjećeniji u Hrvatskom zagorju / Trakošćan is the most famous and visited castle in Hrvatsko zagorje Castle Opeka in Varaždin, which is owned by the Government and which, besides the building itself, includes a 60-hectre arboretum filled with various species of plants and trees. – This castle, commonly referred to as Bombelles, has been completely abandoned for over 40 years and it’s gradually falling into decay. Although a study has been made, everything still stands in one place, there is no renovation. Partial care is given to the arboretum that could, with a little more interest, become a wonderful public park – says Željko Trstenjak, architecture engineer from the Conservation Department in Varaždin. Castle Bosiljevo has suffered similar fate, although it is a target of interest by private businessman Siniša Križanec, owner of Castle Bežanec. However, according to Mr. Bežanec, local administration and their passivity have “put the brakes” on the project, thus furthermore jeopardizing the alarming condition of Castle Bosiljevo. - It all started about ten years ago when I wanted to rent Bosiljevo, but due to a string of complications, my contract got cancelled and the whole case is still in court. Considering the fact that I invested certain money, which mounts up to eight million kunas with court fees, I want to pursue this to the end. I’m willing to give up 46 on those demands if we’re able to come to an agreement to finish the castle because that’s in the best interest of the entire area – Siniša Križanec says, and his Castle Bežanec has been in business for years as a famous hotel, restaurant and wine cellar, which clearly shows that the owner has plenty of experience in succeeding in such projects. Renovation and Strategy Are What It Takes to Stop the Ruination Problems regarding the finalized ownership and agreeing on the castle’s strategy are not the end of the road, and that is proved by families Kajfež and Floegel who are, each in their own way, fighting for the survival of their enormous buildings that have certainly put them through plenty. Mrs. Lada Szabo-Kajfež spent seventeen years in Castle Miljana that her late husband Franjo, world-famous chemist and Croatian politician, redecorated according to original blueprints from the 17th century. However, she found out that living in the castle is expensive, up to 50 thousand euros per year, so there has recently been an agreement in the family, despite their devotion to the building, to sell their completely renovated Castle Milja- Event s Dvorac Sveti križ Začretje / Castle Sveti križ Začretje na for 4,6 million kunas. According to Mrs. Kajfež, interested buyers keep calling because those 2500 square metres, which include 11 luxurious and three rustic lounges, along with 10 hectares of the courtyard, are certainly an intriguing parcel with different features and possibilities. The selling process has slightly been prolonged because of the agreement within the family that wants the castle to be bought by the right person, or else they say they wouldn’t sell it. From that same Krapina-Zagorje County, we encounter Castle Sveti križ Začretje that is owned by doctor Janko Mršić-Floegel. The family has been very serious about renovating this late-baroque building from the 18th century, which they bought from the Agricultural Organization in pretty ruined shape in 2001. That purchasing put an end to about 70 years of decay and marked the beginning of an expensive and demanding renovation. – The renovated castle will be open for Dvorac Kaptol / Castle Kaptol public, and it will contain an institute for computer innovations, an Internet workshop, lecture halls, multimediaequipped conference hall and a museum space, which will present a selection from the multi-century family inventory – says prof.dr. Mirna Mršić Floegel, mother of the abovementioned owner, adding that, after the building’s been reconstructed, it is realistic to expect that their castle will become an attractive business, congress and cultural-tourist destination throughout the year. She says the visitors love the increasingly rich cultural programme, which provides exhibits, concerts and promotional lectures. That could (and would have to be) the fate of every castle in Croatia, she says, because the culture of the heritage depends on the culture of the heritage carrier. Cultural monuments have no use in lists or deductions, but they rather need true support for maintenance, renovation and revitalization. 47 Avant ura Hum je smješten u srcu Istre, u buzetskoj općini / Hum is located in the heart of Istria, in the Buzet Community HUM Najmanji grad na svijetu U Humu žive tek tri obitelji, što ukupno iznosi tek 17 stanovnika. Zanimljivo je da se od 11. stoljeća do danas, izvan humskih gradskih zidina gotovo ništa nije gradilo, naselje je ostalo unutar granica određenih već u ranom srednjem vijeku I Piše: Patricia Müller Foto: Turistička zajednica Istarske županije stra ima tartufe, i autohtono istarsko govedo – boškarin. Ima i prekrasnu obalu uz sjeverozapadno područje hrvatskog Jadrana, te predivne vile s bazenima u “zapuštenim” dijelovima unutrašnjosti, za kojima su poludjeli stranci i domaći koji se žele pošto-poto odvojiti barem na trenutak od vreve svakodnevice i uživati u netaknutom prirodnom okruženju. No, Istra ima i nešto što zasigurno ne postoji nigdje drugdje. Najmanji grad 48 na svijetu! Podatke čuva i Guinnessova knjiga svjetskih rekorda. U Humu žive tek tri obitelji, što ukupno iznosi tek 17 stanovnika. Ovaj zanimljivi gradić smješten je u srcu Istre, u buzetskoj općini. Od grada Buzeta udaljen je 14 km, do njega se može, sa svih strana, doći automobilom, autobusom ili vlakom, ali mnogi ga izletnici pohode i pješice. Hum je svoj današnji izgled u osnovnim konturama dobio Predivna unutrašnjost Istre ostavit će vas bez daha / Beautiful Istria inside will take you breath away još u srednjem vijeku, točnije u 11. stoljeću. Upravo tada je na ostacima stare utvrde izgrađen Humski kaštel, pa zatim i prvi niz kuća budućega gradića. U to je vrijeme Istra pripadala Franačkom Carstvu i u tom je sklopu 1040. godine postala zasebnom markom. Markgrof Ulrich I. je na pograničnim predjelima svoje države obnovio i podigao niz kaštela, među kojima i ovaj u Humu. Godine 1102. Ulrich II. daje Hum, uz niz drugih kaštela, kao feud akvilejskom patrijarhu. U darovnici se navodi “castrum Cholm” (prema starom hrvatskom obliku Hlm) i to je prvo spominjanje Huma. Tim činom zapravo počinje povijest Huma kao utvrde. I u kasnjim povijesnim izvorima, sve do 17. stoljeća, Hum se spominje kao “castrum”, dakle tvrđava, čime se naglašavala njegova fortifikacijska uloga. Danas je ovaj gradić spomen-grad, kao jedan od rijetkih sačuvanih primjera urbanog razvoja isključivo unutar ranosrednjovjekovnih zidina. Zanimljivo je da se od 11. stoljeća do danas, izvan humskih gradskih zidina gotovo ništa nije gradilo, naselje je ostalo unutar gra- nica određenih već u ranom srednjem vijeku. Humski se kaštel nalazio na platou u zapadnom dijelu gradića unutar obrambenih zidova, na mjestu gdje se danas dijelom nalaze župna crkva, župni dvor i najzapadniji dio sjevernog niza kuća. Tlocrt kaštela imao je oblik pravokutnika veličine 35x30 m. Ulaz u kaštel bio je iznutra, iz grada. Njegova je osnovna namjena bila obrambena. A onda se uz kaštel postupno gradilo i naselje. Nastao je tako gradić položen po hrptu izduženog brijega, unutar gradskih zidina koje zatvaraju površinu približno pravokutnog oblika dužine stotinjak i širine oko 35 metara. Prostornu organizaciju gradića čine tri paralelna niza kuća što se pružaju od istoka prema zapadu, dvije ulice koje ih odjeljuju i trapezasti trg kod glavnih gradskih vrata. Kaštel je dvjema ulicama bio izravno povezan sa svim dijelovima grada. Stambene kuće u sva tri niza gledale su na ulice, pa je tako bio omogućen brz dolazak vojne posade i brzo sklanjanje svih gradskih žitelja u kaštel. Najstariji je srednji niz, nastao poslije izgradnje kaštela tako što su konoliziranim graničarima, koji su u slu- 49 Avant ura Hum je jedan od rijetkih sačuvanih primjera urbanog razvoja isključivo unutar ranosrednjovjekovnih zidina / Hum is one of the rare preserved examples of urban development exclusively within the early-medieval walls čaju potrebe činili kaštelsku posadu, dodjeljivane male kvadratne parcele u nizu na kojima su jedna uz drugu građene stambene kuće. Već u najranijoj fazi izgradnje naselja bila je podignuta i manja župna crkva sv. Marije, ispred kaštela, neposredno uz gradski trg. Ovaj je gradić “istrpio” mnoge faze izgradnje. Tako kao drugu fazu Huma možemo smatrati razdoblje od 12. do 15. stoljeća. Tada Hum pripada Akvilejskoj patrijaršiji. To je vrijeme procvata umjetničke djelatnosti u Humu. Tom razdoblju pripada grobna kapela sv. Jeronima, oslikana znamenitim freskama, te monumentalni zvonik-kula podignut uz južni obrambeni zid. Nov procvat u izgradnji, Hum doživljava u prevlasti Venecije u 16. stoljeću. To je vrijeme razvijenog komunalnog sustava i sukladno tome izražene gradske uloge Huma kao administrativnog, kulturnog i gospodarskog središta, ali i s naglašenom obrambenom funkcijom. Obnovljene su obrambene zidine, ojačane dvjema kulama, izgrađena su dvostruka (glavna) gradska vrata, gradska loža i drugi objekti za upravne i javne djelatnosti, te nova župna crkva na mjestu starije romaničke crkvice sv. Marije. U sukobima, pljačkaškim i ratnim pohodima, Hum je često stradavao, njegov je fortifikacijski sustav, uključujući i kaštel, više puta djelomice rušen i ponovno obnavljan. Današnji izgled Huma dovršen je početkom 19. stoljeća izgradnjom župne crkve Uznesenja Blažene Djevice 50 Marije (poznate pod nazivom crkva sv. Petra i Pavla). Izgrađena je na mjestu gdje je prije stajala manja župna crkva iz 17. st. i dijelom kaštel. Tada je, zbog veličine nove crkve, južni gradski zid pomaknut prema vani tako da se zvonik našao unutar gradskih zidina. Još je jedna zanimljivost vezana uz ovaj mikrogradić. Na cesti izmežu Roča i Huma (7 km), s obje strane ceste, podignut je spomenik glagoljici koji je postavljen 1977. godine. To je Aleja glagoljaša, čiji je idejni začetnik književnik Zvane Črnja, a osmislili su je prof. dr. Josip Bratulić i kipar Želimir Janeš. Čini je jedanaest kamenih spomenobilježja: Stup Čakavskog sabora, Stol Ćirila i Metodija, Sijelo Klimenta Ohridskog, Vidikovac Grgura Ninskog, Glagoljski lapidarij, Klanac hrvatskog Lucidara, Uspon Istarskog razvoda, Zid hrvatskih protestanata i heretika, Odmorište žakna Jurja, Spomenik otporu i slobodi te Vrata Huma. Uvijek ste željeli cijeli grad obići u – pet minuta? U Humu je to moguće. Ako ste poželjeli još malo uživati u ljepoti koja se nudi, sjesti u hladovinu ljetne terase ili uz pravo istarsko ognjište, tada vas čeka gostoljubivost domaćina u Humskoj konobi i izvrsna kulinarska ponuda. Ako ijedan grad posjeduje snagu magnetske privlačnosti, onda je to Hum. Iz njegovih se zidina, sa zvonika, s ruševnih balatura i iz sivih kamenih stijena na kojima je uzdignut, iskrada šapat starine. Aleja glagoljaša / Glagolitic Avenue HUM The Smallest Town in the World Only three families reside in Hum, which brings the population number up to 17 people. It’s interesting that, since the 11th century up until today, almost nothing was built outside the city walls of Hum; the town has remained within the boundaries that were determined in the early Middle Ages I Written by: Patricia Müller Photo: Istrian County Tourist Board stria has its truffles and autochthon Istrian cattle – boskarin. It also has a stunning coast along the northwestern area of the Croatian Adriatic, as well as some wonderful villas with swimming pools in the “abandoned” central parts, after which many foreign and local people have gone mad as they try to find a way to momentarily separate themselves from the every-day rush and enjoy the untouched natural surrounding. However, Istria also has something that no other area has. The smallest town in the world! That information is also available in the Guinness’s Book of World Records. Only three families reside in Hum, which brings the population number up to 17 people. This interesting little town is located in the heart of Istria, in the Buzet Community. It is 14 km away from the City of Buzet, and is reachable via car, bus or train; however, many hikers opt to go there on foot. Hum has received the basic contours of its appearance back in the Middle Ages, more precisely in the 11th century. That’s when the Hum Castle was built on the remaining parts of an ancient fortress, which was followed by a first string of houses of the town in the making. That was a period when Istria was a part of the Frankish Empire, within which it became an individual unit in 1040. The mark-count Ulrich I. renovated and built numerous castles at the borderline parts of his state, and that inclu- 51 Hum je svoj današnji izgled u osnovnim konturama dobio još u 11. stoljeću / Hum has received the basic contours of its appearance back in the 11th century ded the one in Hum. In the year of 1102, Ulrich II. gives away Hum, along with many other castles, as a feudal donation to the Aquileian Patriarch. The document cites “castrum Cholm” (according to the old Croatian phrase Hlm) and that is the very first mentioning of Hum. That act basically signifies the start of Hum’s history as a fortress. Even in the later historical sources, all the way until the 17th century, Hum is mentioned as “castrum”, which means fortress, and that emphasizes its fortification role. These days, this little town is a town-monument, as one of the rare preserved examples of urban development exclusively within the early-medieval walls. It’s interesting that, since the 11th century up until today, almost nothing was built outside the city walls of Hum; the town has remained within the boundaries that were determined in the early Middle Ages. The Hum Castle was situated on a plateau in the western part of the town within the defensive walls, at a place where you can now find the local church, church courtyard and the westernmost part of the northern string of houses. The castle’s blueprint had a shape of a rectangle with 35x30m dimensions. The entryway into the castle was from within the town, and its primary function was defensive. Afterwards, a settlement was gradually built alongside the castle. That resulted in a small town positioned along a prolonged hill, within the city walls that enclose the rectangular surface that is about 100 metres long and 35 metres wide. The physical organization of the town is consisted of three parallel strings of houses that are spread from the east to the west, as well as by two streets that divide them and a trapezoidal square near the main town gates. The two streets directly connected the castle to every other part of the town. Residential houses in all three strings Poznati istarski pršut / Famous Istrian prosciutto Natpis na željeznim vratima / Script on the iron doors 53 Jedina humska konoba / The only tavern in Hum were overlooking the streets, which enabled the quick arrival of the military crew and the quick removal of the town people into the castle. The string in the middle was the oldest one, and it was built right after the castle because the colonized border guards, who were included in the castle crew in times of necessity, were awarded small square parcels in a string where they built residential houses one next to the other. Already in this earliest phase of building the settlement, a small local St. Mary’s Church was built in front of the castle, right next to the town square. This little town has “suffered” through many construction phases. The period between the 12th and the 15th century is generally considered the second phase of the construction of Hum. That was when Hum was a part of the Aquileian Patriarchy. That was a period when art truly blossomed in this town. The remainders of that period are St. Jerome’s Grave Chapel, which is painted with renowned frescoes, as well as the monumental bell-tower that was built alongside the southern defensive wall. The new period of blossoming construction is bestowed upon Hum during the Venetian domination in the 16th century. That was a period of developed communal sy- 54 stem and, in proportion to that, a distinctive role of Hum as an administrative, cultural and economical centre, but with an emphasized defensive function. Defensive walls were renovated and strengthened with two towers, double (main) town gates were built, as well as the town lodge and many other objects for administrative and public functions, including the new local church in the place of the older Romanesque St. Mary’s Church. During the conflicts, robberies and war campaigns, Hum was often placed in harm’s way, and its fortification system, including the casket, was repeatedly demolished and re-built. Hum’s present look was finished in the early 19th century, when the local Blessed Virgin Mary’s Assumption Church was built (also known as St. Peter and Paul’s Church). It was built in the position of the previous small local church from the 17th century, and partly in the position of the castle. That was when, due to the size of the new church, the southern city wall was moved to the outside, which meant that the belltower was now within the city walls. Another interesting thing is connected to this microtown. On the road between Roč and Hum (7km), on both sides of it, a monument to the Glagolitic alphabet was built and revealed in 1977. It is called the Glagolitic Župna crkva Uznesenja Blažene Djevice Marije / Local Blessed Virgin Mary’s Assumption Church Avenue, and this idea was created by writer Zvone Črnja, and designed by prof. Dr. Josip Bratulić and sculptor Želimir Janeš. It consists of eleven stone monuments: The Pillar of the Chakavian Parliament, The Table of Cyril and Methodius, The Seat of Climent and Ohrid, The Belvedere of Gregory of Nin, The Glagolitic Collection of Stone Monuments, The Pass of the Croatian Lucidar, The Rise of Istrian Junction, The Wall of Croatian Protestants and Heretics, The Resting Place of Zakan Juri, The Monument to the Resistance and Freedom, and The Gate of Hum. Have you always wanted to see the entire town in – five minutes? You can do that in Hum. And if you wish to spend some more time enjoying the beauty that surrounds you, or having a seat in the shade of the summer terrace or along the true Istrian fireplace, then you have the hospitality of the host of the Hum Tavern and fabulous culinary offering that are waiting for you. If there is one town that possesses the strength of magnetic attraction, then that is Hum. From his city walls, from the bell-tower, from ruinous terraces or from the grey rocks it was built on, you can hear the whisper of old times lurking around. 55 Gast ro GIL’S CUISINE & POP LOUNGE Retro funky u Dubrovniku Odmah nakon ulaska u Gil’s nađete se u potpuno drukčijem okruženju, punom tekstila, rasvjete, cvijeća, ljubičastih i plavih nijansi Piše: Patricia Müller P Foto: Zoran Marinoviæ rije nekoliko tjedana u Dubrovniku je otvoren senzacionalan ružičasto-ljubičasti prostor nazvan “Gil’s Cuisine & Pop Lounge”, u kojem se može uživati u fantastičnoj hrani i sjajnoj glazbi u prekrasnom ambijentu. Tijekom ljeta iskusili su to mnogobrojni gosti koji su tražili mjesto više u tom zanimljivom lokalu, koji je bio potreban gradu kao što je Dubrovnik. I do danas nitko nije našao zamjerku ovome velebnom prostoru, u koji je duh svoje osobnosti unio mladi arhitekt Duje Kaliterna. Do suradnje na restoranu Gil’s iza sebe je imao jedan veliki projekt u Zagrebu, restoran People’s. 56 – Bez obzira što sam mlad, tijekom rada na lokalu u Dubrovniku imao sam potpuno slobodne ruke što se tiče projekta – rekao nam je Duje, kojega je za ovaj posao, u ime vlasnika, ruskog milijardera Viktora Veselberga, kontaktirao upravo čovjek čije ime nosi lokal u Dubrovniku, a koji je u suradnji s Kaliternom i završio cijeli projekt, poznati francuski chef Gilles Camilleri. – Da, Gilles se javio nama u siječnju ove godine i zainteresirala me ideja. Jedini njihov zahtjev bio je da zadovoljim njihovu želju za kuhinjom velike kvadrature, što sam i napravio – objasnio je Kaliterna, a osobni kuhar ruskog milijardera osmislio je i cijeli jelovnik u ovom restoranu. U unutrašnjem dijelu restorana su stolice Minotti presvučene ljubičastim tekstilom, drveni stolovi, lusteri Ether, tekstil na stropu / The restaurant interior features Minotti chairs covered in purple textile, wooden tables, Ether chandeliers, textile on the ceiling Investitorova želja bila je i boja, o čemu naš sugovornik kaže: – Htjeli su da prevladava ružičasta boja i funky stil. Upravo po tim željama napravili smo prezentaciju koja im se odmah jako svidjela. Intencija nam je bila napraviti nešto potpuno drukčije u Dubrovniku. Odmah nakon ulasku u Gil’s nađete se u potpuno drukčijem okruženju, punom tekstila, rasvjete, cvijeća, ljubičastih i plavih nijansi. Taj stil bi se mogao nazvati retro funky. Za ovaj se prostor mladi arhitekt dobro pomučio ne bi li danas na jedinstven način plijenio pažnju posjetitelja. Duje Kaliterna o tome će opširnije: – Objekt je vrlo kompliciran. Sastoji se od više potpuno različitih cjelina, tako da svaka ima svoju priču. Vanjske terase su obložene bijelim kamenom ili egzotičnim drvom, dok je unutrašnjost restorana prekrivena hrastovim parketom. Vanjska terasa restorana je skup staklenih stolova, a stolice su tapecirane bijelom kožom. S tepisonima s retro uzorkom. U unutrašnjem dijelu restorana su stolice Minotti presvučene ljubičastim tekstilom, drveni stolovi, lusteri Ether, tekstil na stropu... Lounge-kaučevi presvučeni su bijelom kožom ili ljubičastim tekstilom, zatim opet stolovi Minotti, kožni veliki jastuci, fotelje Minotti presvučene tekstilom... Puškarnice su obložene drvom, opet s puno jastuka, a tu su i vodopadi tekstila, rasvjeta. O hrani se brine poznati francuski chef Gilles Camilleri / Famous French chef Gilles Camilleri is in charge of the food 57 Gil’s se prostire na 1300 četvornih metara / Gil’s spreads across 1300 square metres Ovaj vrlo zaposleni mladi autor svakom novom projektu pristupa na svoj način. Iako je procedura uvijek ista, za svaki projekt se “koristi” osebujan način rada. – Tek što prvi put stupim u neki prostor, zamislim ga kako bih ja želio da izgleda, te se svoje prvotne ideje držim do samog kraja. Iako je sada Gil’s prvoklasni objekt u Dubrovniku, tijekom rada na lokalu Duje se susretao i s nekim problemima. Priznao nam je da je najteže bilo raditi na prostoru koji je spomenička baština i pod zaštitom UNESCO-a, ali i surađivati s raznim tvrtkama i institucijama u Dubrovniku. Najteže je, pak, bio sam rok izvedbe cijelog projekta, koji je bio vrlo kratak, kao i investitorovo nepoznavanje procedure u Hrvatskoj. No, snalažljivošću i sposobnošću ekipe koja je radila na ostvarenju projekta Gil’s, sve je dobro završilo. I danas imamo lokal površine 1300 četvornih metara. Kaliterna nije štedio kada su u pitanju fini materijali i poznate tvrtke kada se radilo o uređenju interijera. – Sve su to najčešće inozemne tvrtke koje imaju predstavništva u Hrvatskoj. Spomenuo bih Minotti, ITF, namještaj Calligaris, Murano due, Modular, Mooi, Floss rasvjeta, ili ozvučenje Bose, te keramika FAP... Kako se nije štedjelo na kvalitetnim materijalima, tako 58 Prostor u kojem je smješten Gil’s pod zaštitom je UNESCO-a / The facility where Gil’s is located is under UNESCO protection se ne može očekivati da je lokal bio jeftin. Cijela priča stajala je investitora “nekoliko” milijuna kuna. No, uloženi novac se isplatio, reći će i investitor, naš arhitekt i svi posjetitelji, a oni su grupacija mlađih ljudi, ali onih “dubljeg džepa”. U Gil’su je velika kuhinja “na dohvat ruke” gostima, razdvaja ih tek velika staklena ploha, pa tako posjetitelji mogu pratiti kako nastaju njihovi francuski specijaliteti. U lokalu postoji oveći vinski podrum, a pozornost plijeni i veliki akvarij s jastozima. Prostor je podijeljen u dvije veće cjeline: modernu francusku kuhinju u kojoj se uz jela poslužuju vrsna vina, te otvoreni atrij s terasom koja pruža predivan pogled na more ispred Dubrovnika. Lounge bar nudi veliki izbor raznoraznih koktela i drugih pića, uz nezaobilazni sushi i deserte. – Puno je zanimljivih cjelina u lokalu. Meni osobno je najdraža interakcija, funkcioniranje cijelog objekta, koja se uspjela dobiti na kraju, a to nije bilo lako - rekao nam je na kraju mladi Kaliterna, te obznanio da priprema dva velika objekta u skoroj budućnosti: – Jedan u Zagrebu i jedan u Splitu, koji bih posebno izdvojio jer napokon nešto radim u “svom” gradu, te se nadam da će donijeti neke pozitivne promjene za grad pod Marjanom.

Up until the cooperation on the Gil’s Restaurant, he already had one large project in his resume, and that’s the People’s Restaurant in Zagreb. – Regardless of my youth, I had complete freedom while working on this restaurant project in Dubrovnik – Duje tells us, and reveals that he was contacted for this job, in the name of the Russian billionaire owner Viktor Veselberg, by the man who gets credit for this restaurant’s name, and who finished this project along with Kaliterna – famous French chef Gilles Camilleri. – Yes, Gilles contacted us in this year’s January and I was intrigued by the idea. Their only demand was to accommodate their desire for a grand-sized kitchen, which I did. – Kaliterna explains, and the Russian billionaire’s personal chef also designed the whole menu in this restaurant. The investor also made a request regarding the colour, and Duje Kaliterna has this to say about it: – They wanted the dominant presence of the pink colour and funky style. In line with those wishes, we threw a presentation and they really liked it. Our intention was to create something completely different in Dubrovnik. Immediately after entering the Gil’s, you find yourself in a completely different environment, filled with textile, lighting, flowers, purple and blue shades. You could call that style retro funky. The young architect had to work really hard on this space in order to draw the visitors’ attention in a unique way. Duje Kaliterna elaborates: – The object is very complicated. It consists of several completely different units, and each of them has its own story. The outdoor terraces are covered in white stone or exotic wood, while the restaurant interior is covered in oak parquet. The restaurant’s outdoor terrace is a collection of glass tables, and the chairs are upholstered in white leather, along with retro-sampled carpets. The restaurant interior features Minotti chairs covered in purple textile, wooden tables, Ether chandeliers, textile on the ceiling… Lounge sofas are covered in white leather or purple textile, and then there are Minotti tables, big leather cushions, Minotti armchairs covered in textile… Gunner’s hideouts are covered in wood, again with plenty of cushions, and there are also textile waterfalls and the lighting. This awfully busy young author approaches every new project in his own way. Although the procedure never changes, he “utilizes” a very specific work method for each of his projects. – The minute I first step foot into a certain space, I imagine it the way I would have created it, and that original idea of mine holds me in good stead until the end. Vanjske terase su obložene bijelim kamenom ili egzotičnim drvom / The outdoor terraces are covered in white stone or exotic wood Although Gil’s is now a first- class Dubrovnik object, Duje has also encountered some problems during the working process. He told us that the most difficult thing was to work on the space that serves as a historical monument and is under UNESCO’s protection, but also cooperating with various companies and institutions in Dubrovnik. The most difficult thing, however, was meeting the project’s deadline, which was very short, as well as dealing with the investor’s lack of knowledge about how these procedures work in Croatia. However, thanks to the adaptability and competence of the crew that worked on the Gil’s project, everything ended well. And now we have a 1300-square-metre establishment. Kaliterna didn’t pull any punches when it came to fine materials and well-known brands regarding the interior decoration. – Most of them are foreign firms that have their branch offices in Croatia. I’d like to mention Minotti, ITF, Calligaris furniture, Murano Due, Modular, Mooi, Floss lighting, Bosa sound systems, FAP ceramics… Because no punches were pulled when it came to quality materials, you can’t expect this restaurant to be cheap. This whole episode cost the investor “several” million kunas. However, the invested money paid off, according to the investor, our architect and all visitors, the majority of which is made of younger people with “deeper pockets”. In Gil’s, you will find the large kitchen right around the corner from the guests, separated only by a big glass surface, so the visitors can observe how their French specialties are being made. The restaurant also offers a large wine cellar, and a big aquarium with lobsters also draws attention. The establishment is divided into two larger units: modern French kitchen where meals and excellent wines are served, and the open atrium with a terrace that provides a wonderful view over the sea in front of Dubrovnik. The lounge bar offers a large list of various cocktails and other beverages, along with the unavoidable sushi and desserts. – There are many interesting units in the establishment. I personally prefer the interaction, functioning of the entire object, which came as the result in the end and that wasn’t easy to achieve – young Kaliterna tells us in the end, and he announces that he’s preparing two large objects in the near future: – One in Zagreb and one in Split, which is something I’d like to point out because I’m finally working on something in “my” town, and I hope that it will lead to some positive changes for the town underneath Marjan. 61 Fine st vari Kuæica za kišobrane i cvijeæe Dizajneri se vole poigravati funkcijom i izgledom kišobrana. Nakon samostojećega kišobrana koji smo predstavili u prošlome broju, ovaj stalak iz japanske radionice Kyouei Design ima dvostruku funkciju: drži kišobran i ostatke vode iz njega usmjerava u malenu teglu za biljke koja je sastavni dio stalka. Neodoljivo, zar ne? Buduænost kakvom je vidi Gorenje Gorenje sve hrabrije kroči u svijet visokog dizajna. Nakon suradnje s Pininfarinom, slovenski je proizvođač dao priliku jednome od mladih dizajnera, Francuzu Ora-Ïtou, a iz zajedničkoga rada nastao je set nevjerojatno stylish kućanskih uređaja čistih minimalističkih linija, u crnoj i boji aluminija. Tvorac ekskluzivne serije naziva svoj stil “simplexity” - kombinacijom jednostavnosti i kompleksnosti, a oboje je vidljivo na novim napama, hladnjacima, pećnicama s potpisom Gorenje Ora-Ïto. Početkom rujna u zagrebačkome muzeju Mimara i hrvatskoj je publici predstavljena ova serija, uz svesrdnu asistenciju futurističke kubusne kuhinje od naprednog kompozitnog materijala (također djelo Ora-Ïtoa), zaobljenih linija, idealne družice za najmodernije uređaje s logotipom Gorenja. Boce za sve Ove vesele i praktične boce dolaze iz poznate danske dizajnerske “kuhinje” Eva Solo. Dizajneri Claus Jensen i Henrik Holbaek odlučili su stati na kraj nepraktičnim bocama koje ne stanu u vrata hladnjaka ili se kroz njihova grla ne mogu ubaciti, primjerice, kockice leda ili kriške limuna. A tu je i presvlaka u živim bojama koja ne samo da uveseljava svakoga tko otvori hladnjak nego i služi kao termoizolacija, kako se vaš sok ne bi prerano ugrijao. 62 A Little House for Umbrellas and Flowers Designers like to play around with umbrellas and their functions and looks. After the self-standing umbrella we presented in the last issue, this rack from the Japanese workshop Kyouei Design has a double function: it holds the umbrella and it directs the remainder of its water into a small pot for plants, which is the integral part of the rack. Irresistible, isn’t it? The Future According to Gorenje Gorenje has more courage in stepping into the world of high design. After cooperating with Pininfarina, the Slovenian manufacturer has given a chance to one of the young designers , the Frenchman OraIto, and their joint work has resulted in a set of incredibly stylish household appliances with pure minimalist lines, coloured in black and aluminium. The creator of this exclusive series refers to his style as “simplexity” – a combination of simplicity and complexity, and both of those are visible on new cooker hoods, refrigerators and ovens that carry the name Gorenje Ora-Ito. This series was presented to the Croatian audience in early September in the Mimara Museum in Zagreb, with plenty of assistance from a futuristic cubic kitchen made from advanced composite materials (also courtesy of Ora-Ito) and featuring rounded lines, making for simply an ideal mate for the most modern appliances with the Gorenje logotype. Bottles for Everyone These merry and practical bottles come from the famous Danish designer “kitchen” Eva Solo. Designers Claus Jensen and Henrik Holbaek have decided to put an end to unpractical bottles that don’t fit into refrigerator doors or can’t have, for instance, ice cubes or lemon slices put into their necks. And they also have bright-coloured coverings that are bound to improve the mood of anyone who opens the fridge, while they also serve as thermo-isolation that prevents your juice from becoming warm too soon. Stanièni mobitel Timo Wong je autor mobitela nazvanoga “Cells”, što je sasvim logično ime budući da mu je za njegovo oblikovanje kao inspiracija poslužila stanična struktura. Umjesto da tipke na tastaturi odijeli u standardne kvadratiće ili kružiće, odlučio se za princip “svaka tipka - jedna stanica”, uz promjene kontura unutar jedinstvene površine mobitela, model za koji tvrdi da je neusporedivo logičniji i ugodniji na dodir. Audi za najmlaðe Ovaj mali savršeni stroj iz Audijeve tvornice zapravo je dječja igračka koja se pokreće okretanjem pedala. No, to nimalo ne umanjuje perfekciju izrade koju su u njegovu stvaranju upotrijebili dizajneri i mehaničari njemačkog proizvođača automobila. Sastavljen od 900 dijelova, s aluminijskom karoserijom i kožnim sjedalima, model je replika Audija Type C, jednog od najslavnijih trkaćih automobila iz tridesetih godina prošlog stoljeća. U prodaju je od prošle godine pušteno samo 999 autića, pa je za očekivati da su bogati i slavni (i kolekcionari) već opskrbili svoje najmlađe modelom Type C. Luxuries A Cell Phone with Cells Timo Wong is the author of the cell phone called “Cells”, which is a perfectly logical name since it was the structure of a cell that served as an inspiration for its shape. Instead of dividing the keys on the keyboard into standard little squares or circles, he decided on the principle “every key – one cell”, while changing the contours within the unique surface of the cell phone. The author claims that this model is incomparably more logical and the feel of it is much more pleasant. Audi for the Youngest This perfect little machine from the Audi factory is actually a children’s toy that is started by turning the pedals. However, that does nothing to diminish the crafting perfection that was demonstrated by designers and mechanics of this German cars manufacturer during the creating process. Consisting of 900 parts, with aluminium auto-body and leather seats, the model is a replica of Audi Type C, one of the most famous racing cars of the 1930s. Only 999 little cars were released for sale last year, so it is expected that the rich and famous (and also collectors) have already provided the Type C model for their youngest. Bossov bijeg u divljinu Suprotno nekim predrasudama, Hugo Boss se ne bavi samo modom za ozbiljne poslovne ljude. Slavna modna kuća sposobna je vidjeti iza “ljušture” odijela strogog kroja i prepoznati divlje u srcu onoga koji će nakon radnog dana prepunog burzovnih izvješća “provjetriti glavu” vozeći se na nabrijanom motociklu. Upravo je za njih osmišljena ova kaciga iz kolekcije Orange, presvučena kožom i s uzorkom koji vješto oponaša blatnu mrlju. Da, upravo sam stigao s jednog “off-roada”... Pripremila / Edited by: Aurelija Vukušiæ Boss’s Escape into the Wilderness Contrary to some prejudice, Hugo Boss doesn’t exclusively deal with fashion for serious business people. The famous fashion brand is capable of looking beyond the “shell” of a tailored suit and recognize what’s wild in the heart of the person who will recover from a workday filled with stock reports by “clearing their head” while riding a furious motorcycle. This helmet from the Orange Collection is designed precisely from them, as it is covered in leather and features a sample that imitates a mud stain. Yes, I’ve just arrived from an “off-road”… 65 ZDENKO ŠLIBAR: Skulpture kao metafora za neizrecivo Skulptura Zdenka Šlibara uvijek se referira na čovjeka ili neko njegovo stanje. Na prvi susret, apstraktni oblici, grubo rezani blokovi, neobrađene površine koje otkrivaju prirodu materijala i pridonose nekoj unutrašnjoj dinamici skulpture, pomalo otkrivaju ljudski oblik, stav, pa čak i osjećaj zamrznut u materijal Piše: Nataša Bodrožiæ 70 Z agrebački umjetnik Zdenko Šlibar profesionalni je kipar, a umjetnički mu izričaj obuhvaća i rad s keramikom. Njegove prepoznatljive skulpture, pomalo grube i sirove, a istodobno snažne u autorskom izrazu, “hladni” materijali, bronca i žica, koji prevladavaju, govore dosta o hladnoći današnjice, otuđenju i nedostatku emocija. S druge strane, iz njih se nerijetko iščitava doza humora, ali i poetika koja izvire iz grubih, masivnih formi i završava u nježnoj igri krhkih žičanih oblika. Kraj dvadesetog stoljeća donio je u promišljanjima suvremenih estetičara, umjetnika i povjesničara umjetnosti priču o kraju modernizma i novome početku umjetnosti kao totalnog projekta s onu stranu tradicionalnih kategorija novovjeke estetike. Dok neki, dakle, već podosta vremena govore o smrti slike, slikarstva i uopće tradicionalnih medija umjetničkog izražavanja, pred najezdom novih medija, ipak nalazimo dosta života, odnosno vitalnosti u radovima pojedinih umjetnika, a čiji je fokus upravo na tradicionalnim umjetničkim formama. Skulptura Zdenka Šlibara uvijek se referira na čovjeka ili neko njegovo stanje. Na prvi susret, apstraktni oblici, grubo rezani blokovi, neobrađene površine koje otkrivaju prirodu materijala i pridonose nekoj unutrašnjoj dinamici skulpture, pomalo otkrivaju ljudski oblik, stav, pa čak i osjećaj zamrznut u materijalu. Često apstraktni oblici antropomorfnih konotacija funkcioniraju pomalo kao metafora za neizrecivo, a itekako opipljivo stanje današnjice, kada ljudi sve više nalikuju jedni drugima, a pritom imaju vrlo malo međusobnih dodira. Šlibarovi radovi izlagani su na petnaestak samostalnih i isto toliko skupnih izložbi. Jedna od koncepcijski zanimljivijih izložaba na kojoj je prisutan njegov rad “problematizirala je pojam erotskoga (čulnoga, strasnoga, požudnoga i spolnoga) u suvremenom društvu; erotskoga čija je predodžba u novije vrijeme doživjela značajnu promjenu, izgubivši punoću prvotnoga značenja i vlastitost intime, a zadobivši na ispraznosti, površnosti i hladnoći”. Od umjetnika koji su sudjelovali u tom projektu tražilo se “da rea- giraju angažirano i provokativno na činjenicu gubljenja iskrenosti osobnog intimizma u općem procesu globalizacije. Da reagiraju kritički, ironično i čak satirično na erotiku kao ‘potrošački artikl’ i unosnu ‘robu’ u masmedijima, te tako na njezino stalno klišejiziranje i banaliziranje. I da naposljetku svojim djelima naznače je li istinska erotika postala jedna vrsta utopije – je li to jedno nedohvatljivo, imaginarno, idealno stanje, koje je postalo neostvarivo?” Odabrani umjetnici – ponajviše keramičari i kipari, koji su sudjelovali u ovome projektu, reagirali su velikim dijelom angažirano, čak provokativno i ironično, ali i poetično. Erotičnost, a nekad i eksplicitniji prikaz seksualnosti, može se iščitati u Šlibarovim radovima. Ipak, bavljenje ljubavnim odnosima teško da mu je osnovna preokupacija u radu. Višeslojnost i aluzivnost njegovih skulptura dotiču brojna pitanja o stanju čovjeka danas, njegove egzistencije i položaja, time uključujući i emotivnu stranu ljudske osobnosti. Jedna od takvih skulptura izrazito je poetičan “ready made”: dvije ručke otrgnute sa slavine, jedna za vruću, druga za hladnu vodu, pričvršćene su na crvenu ciglu tako da stoje jedna do druge ne dodirujući se. Između njih, cijelom širinom cigle, dijeleći je na pola, prolazi crvena traka simbolizirajući prepreku iz koje se naslućuje i zabrana, granica između dvaju individualnih svjetova koji se nikada ne mogu spojiti. Očitoj sličnosti usprkos. Harmonična kompozicija, čak i elegancija skulpture, iako je sastavljena iz vrlo prozaičnih, gotovo banalnih dijelova, uz jak simbolični naboj, čine je jednom od zanimljivijih eksperimentalnih radova zagrebačkog umjetnika. Jedna od važnijih samostalnih izložbi Zdenka Šlibara bila je ona pomalo začudnog naziva “Samoljudi” u ULUPUH-u u svibnju 2005. godine. Dvadesetak skulptura i instalacija nosilo je neku opću poruku da su ljudi, unatoč životu u mnoštvu, individue koje najviše nose osamu i otuđenost. Tri Šlibarova rada nalaze se u javnim prostorima u Zagrebu i Podsusedu. Član je ULUPUH-a, LIKUM-a i Hrvatskog keramičarskog udruženja KERAMEIKON iz Varaždina. 67 ZDENKO ŠLIBAR: Sculptures as a Metaphor for the Unspeakable Zdenko Šlibar’s sculpture always refers to a human being or one of its states. At first glance, the abstract shapes, roughly cut blocks and unprocessed surfaces, which point out the nature of the material and contribute to some inner dynamics of the sculpture, slightly reveal the human shape, attitude, even emotion that’s frozen in the material Written by: Nataša Bodrožiæ 68 A rtist Zdenko Šlibar from Zagreb is a professional sculptor, and his artistic expression also encompasses working with ceramics. His recognizable sculptures, slightly rough and raw, but at the same time strong in their author’s expression and dominating “cold” materials like bronze and wire say plenty about today’s coldness, detachment and lack of emotions. On the other hand, they often also reveal a dose of humour, but also the poetics that comes out of rough, massive forms and ends up in some gentle interplay between fragile wire shapes. The end of the twentieth century has filled the thoughts of contemporary aestheticians, artists and art historians with stories about the end of modernism and the new beginning of art as a total project on the other side of traditional categories of modern-era aesthetics. While some have been talking for quite some time about the death of paintings, the art of painting and traditional mediums of overall art expressions in the wake of the new mediums’ invasion, we can still find plenty of life and vitality in the works of certain artists who focus precisely on traditional artistic forms. Zdenko Šlibar’s sculpture always refers to a human being or one of its states. At first glance, the abstract shapes, roughly cut blocks and unprocessed surfaces, which point out the nature of the material and contribute to some inner dynamics of the sculpture, slightly reveal the human shape, attitude, even emotion that’s frozen in the material. Very often these abstract shapes of anthromorphic connotations slightly function as a metaphor for the unspeakable, yet very tangible state of this era, in which people increasingly resemble each other while having very little interaction with each other. Šlibar’s works have been displayed at about fifteen solo exhibits and just as many group ones. One of the conceptually more interesting exhibits that featured his work “has dealt with the concept of the erotic (sensuous, passionate, lustful, sexual) in modern society; the erotic that carries an image that’s been very much changed lately by losing the fullness of the original meaning and the possession of intimacy, while gaining plenty of emptiness, superficiality and coldness”. The artists who participated in this project were asked to “react in an involved and provocative manner to the fact of losing personal intimacy’s honesty in the overall globalisation process. To react critically, ironically, even satirically to erotica as “a consumer item” and profitable “goods” in the mass media, as well as its use as a cliché and something banal. And fi- nally, to use their works to reveal whether true erotica has become a type of utopia – whether it is an unreachable, imaginary, ideal state that cannot be achieved anymore?” The chosen artists – mostly sculptors and ceramicists, who were involved with this project, have reacted in a very engaged manner, even being provocative and ironic, but also poetical. Eroticism, and sometimes also a more explicit display of sexuality, can often be found in Šlibar’s works. Still, you could hardly say that dealing with love relations is the basic preoccupation of his work. The multi-layered allusive aspect of his sculptures touches on numerous questions about man’s state today, his existence and position, and that includes the emotional side of human personality. One of such sculptures is the extremely poetical “ready made”: two handles that were ripped off a tap, one for hot water and one for cold water, were attached to a red brick by standing one next to the other without touching themselves. Between them, all along the wideness of the brick and splitting it in half, there is a red ribbon that symbolizes an obstacle and alludes to prohibition, like a border between two individual worlds that can never be combined, despite their obvious similarity. The harmonious composition, even the sculpture’s elegance, although it consists of very prosaic and near-banal parts with strong symbolic impact, ensure its place as one of the more interesting experimental works by this Zagreb artist. One of Zdenko Šlibar’s more important solo exhibits carried a slightly odd name “SelfPeople” at the ULUPUH (Croatian Association of Artists of Applied Art) in May of 2005. About twenty sculptures and installations carried a general message that people, despite living within a crowd, are merely individuals who primarily carry loneliness and detachment. Three Šlibar’s works can be found in public spaces in Zagreb and Podsused. He is a member of ULUPUH, LIKUM (Unity of Croatian Artists) and the Croatian Ceramic Association KERAMEIKON from Varaždin. Zdenko Šlibar u umjetničkom zanosu / Zlatko Šlibar in a creative outburst 69 Dizajn Duæan kulture i duha Estetski razmaženi connoisseuri, znatiželjni studenti dizajna, uspaničeni uzvanici u potrazi za idealnim vjenčanim darom, stari klijenti koji rado navrate na kavu... uobičajena su i dobrodošla pojava u ovoj karizmatičnoj trgovini vedre i “pomaknute” atmosfere U Piše: Ivan Mladina romantičnom okružju prastarih kućica zagrebačke Tkalčićeve ulice, već desetak godina nalazi se trgovina vrlo jedinstvene i pomno probrane ponude. Od svog osnutka, Modus ima status svojevrsne škole dobrog ukusa u industrijskom dizajnu, s vrlo širokom i odanom bazom klijenata, prijatelja i simpatizera. Estetski razmaženi connoisseuri, znatiželjni studenti dizajna, uspaničeni uzvanici u potrazi za idealnim vjenčanim darom, stari klijenti koji rado navrate na kavu... uobičajena su i dobrodošla pojava u ovoj karizmatičnoj trgovini vedre i “pomaknute” atmosfere. Otvoren sredinom devedesetih, Modus se odmah profilirao kao “konceptualni dućan”, mjesto gdje je edukacija u dobrom ukusu davala sasvim poseban pečat 70 Foto: Kristina Faziniæ odnosu prema klijentu. Osnivači Nina Fiolić i Goran Lelas željeli su stvoriti sasvim nov ugođaj, gdje osjećaj uronjenosti u proces stvaranja posebnih artefakata te sama ljepota njihovih formi, inače banalan proces kupnje pretvaraju u slavlje estetike vrhunskog industrijskog dizajna. Uzmimo, na primjer, proizvodni program čuvene talijanske tvrtke Alessi, koji je u Modusu uzdignut na galerijsku razinu. Posebna pozornost posvećena pričama koje se kriju iza nastanka svakog proizvoda ne čudi, s obzirom da gotovo svaki proizvod tvrtke Alessi nosi potpis nekog velikog suvremenog arhitekta ili dizajnera. Upravo Alessi proizvodi opjevani Juicy Salif, genijalno cjedilo za limun Phillipea Starcka, koje, kako se čini, već godinama baš svaki intelektualac želi vidjeti u svojoj kuhinji ili, još bolje, dnevnoj sobi. Čuveni čajnici Michaela Gravesa, s ptičicom koja zvižduće kad voda uzavri, elegantno zrcaljenje vitoperih ploha vaze Crevasse arhitektice Zahe Hadid, ekscentrične forme Rona Arada... prave su vizualne poslastice koje nikog ne ostavljaju ravnodušnim. Spomenuvši Rona Arada, u Modusu je taj dizajner iznimno cijenjen i zastupljen zbog svoje sklonosti k eksperimentiranju te inovativnom duhu - upravo onim osobinama koje su bile misao vodilja u stvaranju ove trgovine. Puno toga je u Modusu zasnovano na spajanju suprotnosti, što posjet Modusu uvijek iznova čini vrlo posebnim iskustvom. Prema riječima Nine Fiolić: “Ta igra krajnostima, miješanje ozbiljnog i neozbiljnog, važnog i nevažnog, etabliranog i upitnog, to je ono što nas u Modusu zapravo najviše veseli. Podrška i poticaj klijenata te izmjena pozitivne energije i novih saznanja, na tom su putu, uz vlastiti entuzijazam, presudni...” Prvo pravilo je da nema pravila, i da neko novo iznenađenje vreba na svakom koraku. “Ozbiljne” komade tako smjenjuju vesele, otkvačene kreacije poput onih Droog designa, dok se u moru svih tih nevjerojatnih, očaravajućih artefakata odjednom mogu pronaći i neobične rijetkosti poput superekskluzivnih parfema Diptyque. U taj kaleidoskop izvrsno se uklapa i ponuda čajnika od gusa, veleposlanika japanskog dizajna i kulture pijenja čaja. Posljednjih nekoliko godina, Modus se počeo okretati i prema skandinavskom dizajnu. Iittala, Stelton, Tonfisk, neki su od zastupljenih skandinavskih proizvođača, čiji su proizvodi dio stalnog postava mnogih svjetskih muzeja suvremenog dizajna. Kultne linije posuđa “TEEMA” Nina Fiolić U Modusu možete pronaći i čuvene čajnice Michaela Gravesa / Modus also features famous teapots by Michael Graves Kaj Francka iz 50-ih godina i “ORIGO” Alfreda Haberlia iz 1999., šalice “EGO” Stefana Lindforsa, pravi su klasici industrijskog dizajna i kao takvi zaslužuju svoje mjesto na policama Modusa. Na nadolazećoj izložbi skandinavskog dizajna koja se krajem rujna otvara u Muzeju za umjetnost i obrt u Zagrebu, mnogi od tih predmeta bit će izloženi za širu publiku. U sklopu izložbe Modus će prikazati i dio svog asortimana koji je velikim dijelom zastupljen i na samoj izložbi. Izvanredna prigoda za upoznavanje šire javnosti ne samo sa skandinavskim dizajnom, koji je posljednjih godina napravio veliki comeback, nego i s čudesnim bogatstvom i raznolikošću ponude ove jedinstvene trgovine. 71 Program talijanske tvrtke Alessi u Modusu je uzdignut na galerijsku razinu / The programme of Italian firm Alessi is ascended to gallery-like level in Modus Written by: Ivan Mladina Photo: Kristina Faziniæ The Store of Culture and Spirit Superekskluzivni parfemi Diptyque / Super-exclusive Diptyque perfumes Aesthetically spoiled connoisseurs, curious design students, panicking guests searching for the ideal wedding present, old clients who always come by for a cup of coffee … are some of the usual, welcomed appearances in this charismatic store of merry and “kooky” atmosphere I 72 n the romantic surrounding of ancient houses at Tkalčić Street in Zagreb, a store of very unique and carefully selected offering has been open for about ten years. Since its beginning, Modus has a status of some sort of school of good taste in industrial design, with a very wide and loyal base of clients, friends and admirers. Aesthetically spoiled connoisseurs, curious design students, panicking guests searching for the ideal Design “Ptice” iz nove Iittaline kolekcije / “Birds” from the new Iittala collection Finski klasik koji je dizajnirao Timo Sarpaneva davne 1960. godine / The Finnish classic designed by Timo Sarpaneva way back in 1960 wedding present, old clients who always come by for a cup of coffee… are some of the usual, welcomed appearances in this charismatic store of merry and “kooky” atmosphere. Opened in the mid-nineties, Modus immediately defined itself as “a conceptual store”, a place where education in good taste provided a special flavour in relationships towards clients. Founders Nina Fiolić and Goran Lelas wanted to create a completely new ambience, where the feeling of being involved in the process of creating special artefacts, as well as the very beauty of their forms, turn this otherwise banal process of shopping into a celebration of supreme industrial design’s aesthetics. Let’s take, for example, the manufacturing programme of the famous Italian firm Alessi, which has been ascended to gallery-like level in Modus. The special attention given to stories that hide behind the origins of all products is not surprising, being that almost every Alessi product carries a signature of some great contemporary architect or designer. It’s precisely Alessi that produces the celebrated Juicy Salif, a brilliant lemon squeezer designed by Philippe Starck, which appears to have found its way to every intellectual’s wish list for their kitchen, or even better, living room. Legendary teapots by Michael Graves with a little bird that whistles when the water starts boiling, the elegant mirroring of warped surfaces on the Crevasse vase by architect Zaha Hadid, Ron Arad’s eccentric forms… are true visual delicacies that will leave no one feeling indifferent. Now that we mentioned Ron Arad, that designer is extremely appreciated and represented in Modus due to his tendency towards experimenting, as well as his innovative spirit – which are the exact characteristics that served as the guiding line when this store was created. Lots of things in Modus were based on the process of combining the opposites, which means that visiting Modus is always a very special experience. According to Nina Fiolić: “These games we play with extremes, combining serious and amusing, important and trivial, established and questionable – that is what makes us really happy in Modus. The support and encouragement of our clients, as well as exchanging positive energy and new discoveries, are what truly makes the difference on that road, along with our own enthusiasm…” The first rule is that there are no rules, and there is a new surprise around every corner. “Serious” pieces are followed by cheerful, daft creations like those Droog designs, while you can also find unusual rarities like the super-exclusive Diptyque perfume in this sea of unbelievable, enchanting artefacts. That sort of kaleidoscope wonderfully complements items like a cast-iron teapot, which is the ambassador of Japanese design and the culture of sipping tea. Over the last several years, Modus has also started to turn towards Scandinavian design. Iittala, Stelton, Authentics – these are just several of the represented Scandinavian manufacturers, which offer products that are constantly on display in many museums of contemporary design around the world. Famous “TEEMA” lines of dishes by Kaj Franck from the 50s, as well as “ORIGO” by Alfred Haberli from 1999 and “EGO” cups by Stefan Lindfors, are true classics of industrial design and that qualifies them as worthy of a place on the Modus shelves. At the upcoming exhibit of Scandinavian design, which opens at the end of September in Museum for Arts and Crafts in Zagreb, many of those objects will be on display for a larger audience. Within that exhibit, Modus will also show a selection from its assortment that is largely represented at the exhibit itself. It is an extraordinary opportunity to introduce a large audience not only to Scandinavian design, which has been making a big comeback over the last few years, but also to the miraculous wealth and diversity of this unique store. 73 Interijeri Piše: Helena Pajiæ Wegnerove sjedalice iz 1963. godine / Wegners three-leg ged chairs produced in 1963. Foto: www.designhotels.com Londonski hotel Rockwell, nadahnut spoj klasike i modernoga Vjeèna elegancija protiv sezonskih trendova Arhitektonski studio Squire and Partners odlučio se za suzdržan pristup oživljavanju prostora, u kojemu će jednako bitnu ulogu igrati arhitektonsko naslijeđe prošlih stoljeća, odabir retro boja koje su u trendu i, dijelom, geometrijskih uzoraka iz sedamdesetih, te najluksuzniji noviteti udobnog življenja 74 U Rockwellu dominiraju nenametljive boje senfa i akvamarina / Rockwell is dominated by unassuming colours of mustard and aquamarine Sve je u funkciji ugodnoga bivanja / Everything has a function of pleasant state of being Hotel je otvoren sredinom prošle godine / The hotel was opened in the middle of last year Diskretni, ali efektni uzorci na tapetama / Discrete but effective wallpaper samples N akon ljetnih užitaka, prozračnih mediteranski obojenih interijera i čarobnih bogomdanih eksterijera, vrijeme je za povratak klasici. A ne postoji bolje mjesto za pronalazak elegantnih i klasičnih vizura od Londona. Britanska prijestolnica nudi stotine fantastičnih hotelskih prostora po svačijem ukusu, a hotel Rockwell, savršeno smješten na Kensingtonu, jedan je od onih koji će se jednako svidjeti i ozbiljnoj poslovnoj gospodi i mondenim šopingholičarkama. “Lokacija, lokacija i lokacija”, tri su stvari jednako bitne i za dom i za hotel. Rockwellova je lokacija na Earl’s Courtu, samo nekoliko minuta hoda udaljenosti od Harrod’sa, vjerojatno najslavnije robne kuće na svijetu, ali i ostalih šoping-ljepota na Knightsbridgeu i Chelseaju. Ljubitelji umjetnosti od hotela Rockwell trebaju samo prošetati do slavnog Royal Albert Halla, a u blizini je i Science Museum (Muzej znanosti), muzejski prostor od kojega zastaje dah i koji od vas zahtijeva cjelodnevni boravak. Stanica metroa je također blizu... Ukratko, Rockwell je savršeno mjesto za početak istraživanja Londona. Hotel je otvoren sredinom prošle godine, i već s prvim pogledom na raskošnu viktorijansku fasadu može se naslutiti da se ovdje nije štedjelo. Ukusno i vješto restaurirana četverokatnica, s masivnim ulaznim vratima od hrastovine, nudi dobrodošlicu umornom putniku, a već pri ulasku, upućenijem će došljaku nosnice zaigrati od 75 Interijeri Neke od soba imaju izlaz na ugodnu terasu ili balkončić / Some of the rooms have an exit to a cosy terrace or little balcony pažljivo odabranih mirisa kojima je prostor oplemenjen za što bolji prvi dojam. Arhitektonski studio Squire and Partners, koji je osmislio izgled hotela Rockwell, odlučio se za suzdržan pristup oživljavanju prostora, u kojemu će jednako bitnu ulogu igrati arhitektonsko naslijeđe prošlih stoljeća, odabir retro boja koje su u trendu i, dijelom, geometrijskih uzoraka iz sedamdesetih, te najluksuzniji noviteti udobnog življenja. Pretjeranoj zaigranosti, lunaparku boja ili, suprotno tome, hladnoći koja nerijetko prati previše futurističke prostore, ovdje jednostavno nije bilo mjesta. Arhitekti su tako u originalnom stilu, prateći povijest zgrade, obnovili kameno stubište, ograde od kovanoga željeza i originalni podni mozaik, no tu je kraj viktorijanskom razdoblju; u novome Rockwellu dominantne su nenametljive boje senfa, akvamarina, kao i diskretni, ali efektni uzorci na tapetama, uz decentne dekoracije te namještaj jednostavnih linija i tople boje oraha ili hrasta. U Rockwellu nećete naići na dizajnerske eskapade, “komade” koji stoje sami za sebe kao spomenik nečijem pretjerano izraženom egu. Sve je u funkciji ugodnoga bivanja u kojem se gost ne osjeća kao asesoar (ponekad i višak) u interijeru, nego gotovo kao – domaćin. Domaća engleska atmosfera osjeća se i u svakoj od 40 ukusno uređenih soba koje prate osnovnu odrednicu uređenja. Različitih veličina, neke od južno orijentiranih soba imaju i izlaz na ugodnu terasu ili balkončić, dok nekoliko prostranih dvoetažnih apartmana doista pruža ugođaj rijetko viđen u hotelima, uz obilje prirodnoga svjetla zahvaljujući velikim viktorijanskim prozorskim oknima. Ništa nije prepušteno slučaju, pa su i dekorativne tkanine mahom od prirodnih materijala, a posteljina od najfinijeg egipatskog pamuka koji draži osjetila i, dakako, potpuno je usklađenih boja s ostatkom interijera. Kupaonice su, pak, posveta današnjem vremenu, s čistim linijama 76 Rockwell je savršeno mjesto za početak istraživanja Londona / Rockwell is the perfect place to begin exploring London sanitarija Phillipe Starck i opreme Grohe, ali ponovno umjerene, decentne, u dosluhu s elegancijom kompletnog prostora. Ono čemu je u hotelu Rockwell posvećena osobita pozornost jest usluga. Uglavnom vrlo pozitivni dojmovi iz knjige gostiju posebno se osvrću na susretljivost, ljubaznost i profesionalnost osoblja, bilo da je riječ o pomoći pri odabiru najboljega turističkoga obilaska, nabavi ulaznice za neko od zanimljivih događanja, kojima London obiluje u svako doba godine, serviranju doručka u hotelskome restoranu ili spravljanju koktela u baru sa širokom i bogatom vinskom listom te pogledom na vrt u kojemu uspijevaju čak i mediteranske biljke. Takav dojam bijega od gradske vreve u srcu Londona dodatno očarava i oplemenjuje boravak ovdje. Gostima je na raspolaganju i manja konferencijska dvorana, u skladu s hotelskim kapacitetom, no Rockwell nije primarno hotel za veća poslovna okupljanja. Ipak, svakom je gostu na raspolaganju paket svih onih usluga koje su obvezne u hotelu s četiri zvjezdice: od privatne telefonske linije, brze internetske veze i LCD televizora sa satelitskim i “pay-perview” programima, do bogatog minibara, klima-uređaja, sefa ili usluge pranja i glačanja. Kvalitetni obroci koji su najčešće inspirirani engleskom kuhinjom, ali uz puno “kontinentalnih” dodataka, goste nesklone mijenjanju ambijenta zadržat će na ručku ili večeri, a cijene su, za London, poprilično umjerene. I soba se može rezervirati, ovisno o godišnjem dobu, već za nešto više od stotinjak funti, što je inače, u elitnome londonskome kvartu i s kvalitetom koju Rockwell pruža, gotovo nemoguća misija. Ukratko, Rockwell je jedna od onih solidnih, čvrstih točaka koje toplinom dobrodošlice podsjećaju na dom i u koje će se putnik uvijek vraćati u vječnoj mijeni londonske košnice. Već s prvim pogledom na raskošnu viktorijansku fasadu može se naslutiti da se ovdje nije štedjelo / The first glance at the sumptuous Victorian façade reveals that money wasn’t the issue here Written by: Helena Pajiæ Photo: www.designhotels.com The Rockwell Hotel in London, an Inspired Combination of Classical and Modern Eternal Elegance Against Seasonal Trends Architectonic studio “Squire and Partners” has decided on a restrained approach to bringing life into the space, where there’ll be just as much room for the architectonic heritage of previous centuries, the choosing of trendy retro colours and partly the geometric samples from the seventies, as well as the most luxurious novelties of comfortable living 77 Interiors Domaća engleska atmosfera osjeća se i u svakoj sobi / Domestic English atmosphere is felt in each room Ugodna terasa idealna za pravi engleski doručak / Cosy terrace is a perfect place for real english breakfast Dekorativne tkanine su od prirodnih materijala, a posteljina od najfinijeg egipatskog pamuka / Decorative fabrics are made of natural materials, and the linen is made from the finest Egyptian cotton A fter the summer pleasures, ethereal interiors coloured in Mediterranean fashion and magical God-given exteriors, it’s time to return to classics. And there is no better place to find elegant and classical views than London. The British capital offers hundreds of fantastic hotel facilities for everyone’s taste, and the Rockwell Hotel, perfectly located at Kensington, is one of those places that will have the same appeal to serious business gentlemen and trendy shopping addicts. “Location, location and location”, are the three things just as important for a home and a hotel. Rockwell’s location is Earl’s Court, just a few minutes of walking away from Harrod’s, which is probably the most famous shopping store in the world, but also from other shopping beauties at Knightsbridge and Chelsea. As far as lovers of art go, all they have to do is take a stroll from Rockwell Hotel to the famous Royal Albert Hall, and there is also the Science Museum nearby, which is a museum that takes 78 your breath away and forces you to stay there all day. The subway station is also nearby… In just a few words, Rockwell is the perfect place to begin exploring London. The hotel was opened in the middle of last year, and already the first glance at the sumptuous Victorian façade reveals that money wasn’t the issue here. Tastefully and skilfully restored four-storey building with massive oakwood entryway, it offers a warm welcome to a tired passenger, and the minute you enter, any knowledgeable newcomer will have their nostrils responding to carefully chosen aromas that ennoble the space and leave a very good first impression. Architectonic studio “Squire and Partners”, which has designed Rockwell’s look, has decided on a restrained approach to bringing life into the space, where there’ll be just as much room for the architectonic heritage of previous centuries, the choosing of trendy retro colours and partly the geometric samples from the seventies, as well as the most luxurious novelties of modern living. There simply was no room here for exaggerated playfulness, the amusement park of colours or, contrary to that, the chillness that often accompanies overly futuristic spaces. The architects, keeping track of the building’s history, have renovated the stone stairway, wrought-iron fences and the original floor mosaic, but that’s where the Victorian era ends; the new Rockwell is dominated by unassuming colours of mustard and aquamarine, as well as by discrete-but-effective wallpaper samples, along with stylish decorations and the furniture of simple lines and warm colours of walnut or oak. Rockwell is not the place that features designer escapades, “pieces” that stand for themselves as monuments of someone’s overly expressed ego. Everything has a function of pleasant state of being where the guest doesn’t feel like an accessory (sometimes an unwanted one) in the interior, but almost as – the host. Domestic English atmosphere is felt in each and every of the 40 tastefully decorated rooms that follow the basic decorating pointers. The rooms have different sizes; some of them are oriented towards the south and have an exit to a cosy terrace or little balcony, while several spacious two-storey suites truly offer the ambience that is rarely seen in any hotel, with plenty of natural light that comes in through large Victorian windows. Every issue was given special attention, so even the decorative fabrics are made of natural materials, and the linen is made from the finest Egyptian cotton that teases with your senses, and naturally, its colours are completely adjusted to the rest of the interior. The bathrooms, however, are homage to today’s era, as they feature clean lines of Phillipe Starck sanitary facilities and Grohe equipment, which are again moderate, stylish, in tune with the elegance of the entire space. What truly stands out in the Rockwell Hotel is the service. The mostly very positive impressions from the guest book very often refer to the staff’s amicability, politeness and professionalism, whether it’s about recommending the best possible tourist route, acquiring tickets for some interesting events that are never lacking in London, serving breakfast in the hotel’s restaurant or making cocktails in the bar with a wide and rich wine list, while overlooking the garden that even features some Mediterranean species. Such impression of escape from the city rush in the heart of London further enchants and ennobles the experience of staying in this hotel. The guests also have a small conference hall at their disposal, in proportion with the hotel’s capacities, but Rockwell isn’t necessarily the hotel for larger business gatherings. However, every guest has access to the package of all those services that are essential to every four-star hotel: from the private telephone line, fast Internet connection and LCD television set with satellite and “pay-per-view” programmes, to a rich mini-bar, air-conditioner, vault and the services of laundry washing and ironing. Quality meals that are mostly inspired by English cuisine, but with plenty of “continental” supplements, will make even those guests that dislike changing ambiences stay for lunch or dinner, and the prices are pretty moderate, at least when it comes to London standards. The rooms can also be booked, depending on the season, for a little over a hundred pounds, which is usually “mission impossible” in an elite London neighbourhood and with the level of quality that Rockwell provides. To summarize, Rockwell is one of those solid, firm points that features the greeting warmth that reminds us of home and where the passenger will always return in the ever-changing bee hive that is London.

Tako meksički arhitekt Jorge Hernandez de La Garza opisuje rad svoga studija JHG, a upravo tako izgleda i najnoviji projekt te mlade, ali vrlo cijenjene arhitektonske manufakture – Casa Suntro. Kuća Suntro je smještena u rezidencijalnome dijelu Oaxtepeca u središnjemu Meksiku. Poznat i kao “srce Meksika”, taj je kraj na oko sat vremena vožnje udaljen od prijestolnice i omiljeno je odredište izletnika zbog umjerenije klime na višim nadmorskim visinama, bogate vegetacije, tradicionalnoga načina života i mnoštva povijesnih spomenika. Upravo je neodoljivi prirodni svijet potaknuo studio JHG na hrabar dizajn kuće Suntro. Lokacija je sa sjeverne strane omeđena planinskim lan- cem, a s južne cestom, te je stoga odabrana sjeveroistočna orijentacija objekta, s pogledom na zelenilo. Prirodno svjetlo, kojega je u kući u izobilju unatoč dijelom sjevernoj orijentaciji, filtrirano je kroz sloj svojevrsnog “omotača”. Zahvaljujući ovakvoj koncepciji, sve prostorije doma imaju meko dnevno osvjetljenje, a sjene i refleksije na zidovima i svodu dodatno oživljavaju interijer. Raspored prostorija relativno je jednostavan, ali pomno osmišljen kako bi ublažio manjkavosti lokacije: žestoke vrućine ovdje su ipak česte pa je tlocrt usklađen s potrebama što ugodnijeg življenja, a dizajnom je trebalo riješiti i visinske razlike na terenu. Stoga je bazen jedini ostao na visini ulice, dok su gornji i donji kat zapravo visinom polukatovi u odnosu na njega. Organizacija prostora odvija se u jasnoj horizontalnoj raspodjeli unutar donjega kata, posvećenog okupljanju, te privatnoga gornjeg dijela kuće, na kojemu su smještene spavaonice i kupaonice. Dvije etaže komuniciraju dijelom otvorenim stubištem. 81 Nastavak čistog dizajna primjetan je i u samom uređenju interijera koji doslovno prati osnovne arhitektonske odrednice čistoće, svjetlosti i voluminoznosti / The continuation of pure design can be noticed in the decoration of the interior itself that literally follows basic architectonic pointers of purity, light and the concept of volume Korišten je namještaj Grandia Blasco / Grandia Blasco furniture is used in decorating Svaka od glavnih prostorija kuće Suntro čini jedinstven, fluidan protok s pripadajućim vanjskim dijelom, zahvaljujući ponajprije velikim ostakljenim površinama te podu od uglačanoga betona, koji se iz unutarnjeg bez prepreka nastavlja u vanjske prostore. S prednje strane objekt se doima iznimno vitkim i laganim, zahvaljujući monovolumenskom izgledu koji omeđuje prostor dnevnoga boravka, vidljiv kroz staklene površine. S izmjenom kuta gledanja, mijenja se i percepcija o kući zbog igre volumena i praznih prostora prisutne na svim razinama. Nastavak čistog dizajna primjetan je i u samom uređenju interijera koji doslovno prati osnovne arhitektonske odrednice čistoće, svjetlosti i voluminoznosti. Jorge Hernandez de la Garza rođen je 1977. u Meksiku. Završio je studij arhitekture na meksičkome sveučilištu La Salle, te je nakon toga studirao i dizajn u Londonu. Godine 2005. prvi je put bio među finalistima nagrade “Icons of Design” magazina Architectural Digest, za kuću Los Amates. Istu je nagradu osvojio godinu poslije za projekt kulturnoga centra 82 Vladimir Kaspe, a bio je i među finalistima nacionalne nagrade za dizajn interijera za showroom Comex. Za muzej prethistorije u Koreji Gyeonggi-do osvojio je nagradu Merit. Studio JHG Jorge Hernandez de la Garza osnovan je 2007., a kuća Suntro proglašena je u srpnju kućom mjeseca na web portalu World Architecture News. Dream home Suntro House - The Awarded Project of Architectonic Studio JHG A Mexican Home of Light and Shadow Written by: Hela Biliæ Photo: Paul Czitrom Lokacija je sa sjeverne strane omeđena planinskim lancem, a s južne cestom, te je stoga odabrana sjeveroistočna orijentacija objekta, s pogledom na zelenilo / From its northern side, the location is bordered with mountains, while the southern end provides a road and a view over plenty of green surfaces, which resulted in choosing the object’s northeastern orientation 83 Dream home Looking at its front side, the object appears slender and light thanks to being conformed by only one volume that floats over the living room, which can be seen through the glass surfaces. By changing the point of perspective, the perception changes as well, due to the playful concept of volume and empty spaces S earching for spaces, forms, textures and materials that will satisfy the user, with emphasis on flexible architecture that will be in dialogue with nature, light and the environment; the architecture that will adjust itself to new demands, new materials, different cultures and societies. That’s how Mexican architect Jorge Hernandez de la Garza describes the work of his Studio JHG, and that’s precisely what describes the newest project of that young, but very respected architectonic manufacture – Casa Suntro. Suntro House is located in the residential part of Oax- 84 Sve prostorije imaju meko dnevno osvjetljenje, a sjene i refleksije na zidovima i svodu dodatno oživljavaju interijer / All the rooms in the house have plenty of soft daylight, while the shadows and reflections on the walls and the ceiling animate the interior tepec in central Mexico. Also known as “the heart of Mexico”, that area is about one hour’s drive away from the capital and it’s the favourite destination for many hikers due to the mild climate at higher altitudes, rich vegetation, traditional way of life and many historical monuments. It’s precisely that irresistible natural world that has encouraged Studio JHG to attempt the bold design of Suntro House. From its northern side, the location is bordered with mountains, while the southern end provides a road and a view over plenty of green surfaces, which resulted in choosing the object’s northeastern orientation. Natural light, the abundance of which is in the house partly due to its northern orientation, is filtrated through a fold of a type of “cover”. Thanks to this type of concept, all the rooms in the house have plenty of soft daylight, while the shadows and reflections on the walls and the ceiling animate the interior. The organization of the rooms is fairly simple, but carefully considered in order to reduce the effect of the location’s shortcomings: extreme heat is very common here, so the blueprint is adjusted to the needs of achieving as comfortable living as possible, while the design also had to handle the issue of Prirodnog svjetlo u kući je u izobilju / Natural light is in the abundance in the house altitude differences in the turf. Therefore, the swimming pool is the only section that remained at street level, while the upper and ground floor are actually at midlevel opposed to it. The space organization develops in clear horizontal division within the ground floor, which has a purpose of gathering people, as well as the private upper floor of the house that features bedrooms and bathrooms. The two storeys communicate with a partly opened staircase. Each of the main rooms in Suntro House provides a unique, fluid flow with the accompanying outdoor section, primarily due to the large glass surfaces and a Jorge Hernandez de la Garza was born in Mexico in 1977. He graduated architecture at La Salle University in Mexico, and after that studied design in London. In 2005, he appeared for the first time among the finalists of the “Icons of design” award by magazine Architectural Digest, due to his project of house Los Amates. He won that same award a year later for the project of the “Vladimir Kaspe” concrete floor, which effortlessly extends from indoors to open areas. Looking at its front side, the object appears slender and light thanks to being conformed by only one volume that floats over the living room, which can be seen through glass surfaces. By changing the point of perspective, the perception changes as well, due to the playful concept of volume and empty spaces that can be seen at all levels.

Promjenom zavjesa može se brzo i jednostavno promijeniti cjelokupni ambijent u nekoj prostoriji, pa tako svaki prostor uz malo mašte može zablistati u posve novom izdanju. Naravno, zavjese treba prilagoditi ostatku prostorije, a budući da se danas na tržištu mogu pronaći najrazličitiji modeli od različitih materijala, odabir zavjesa može biti itekako zabavan. Zavjese u veselim bojama oživit će svaki prostor / Curtains in bright colours will bring life to every room Pri odabiru zavjesa treba dobro pripaziti da postignu pravi, željeni efekt / While choosing the curtains, you must make sure that they’ll achieve the right, desired effect Različiti modeli - različiti efekti Količina svjetla u prostoriji, boje i teksture koje u njoj dominiraju bitno utječu na dojam koji prostorija ostavlja, što znači da ti elementi imaju izravan utjecaj na ljudsko raspoloženje. Stoga pri odabiru zavjesa treba dobro pripaziti da postignu pravi, željeni efekt. U uredskim i poslovnim prostorijama treba dominirati ozbiljnija atmosfera, no višak takvog ambijenta može imati negativan učinak pa se zavjesama može napraviti mali kontrast koji će podignuti atmosferu i prostoriju učiniti življom. Kontrast predstavlja raznolikost i unosi život u prostor, ali svakako valja odabirati tonove koji se međusobno nadopunjuju. Kad su dnevne sobe u pitanju, tu mašti nema kraja, ali ipak postoje neka nepisana pravila kojih se treba pridržavati. Ako u dnevnom boravku imate velike prozore koji pružaju lijep panoramski pogled, onda to treba i istaknuti. Efekt naglašavanja prozora se postiže jačim i izraženijim kontriranjem na ostatak prostorije, pa ako u dnevnom boravku prevladava svijetli namještaj, primjerice neka natur garnitura u boji lana, onda prozore treba istaknuti zavjesama u nekoj jarkoj boji. U tom bi slučaju idealna bila malo jača narančasta ili limun žuta. Mnogi se slažu 87 Marengo Punta Nya Nordiska Emotion Magic da prirodne svjetlosti nikad ne može biti previše u prostoriji, što svakako ima smisla, no mnogi ljudi vole intimniju atmosferu pa su u tom slučaju najpraktičnije zavjese od gušćih materijala, kojima se može u potpunosti regulirati količina svjetlosti koja će ulaziti u prostoriju. Takve su zavjese prikladne i za spavaće sobe. Materijali i uzorci Danas se u dobro opskrbljenoj prodavaonici zavjesa mogu naći modeli od najrazličitijih materijala, od prirodnih, poput lana, jute i bambusa koji će prostoriji dati nevjerojatnu toplinu, do raznih sintetskih i PVC materijala kojima se može dobiti malo alternativniji “kitch” stil. Ovisno o namjeni, tu su trakasti modeli, klasični zastori, rimski i “blackout” zastori, popularne paket i panel zavjese, koje su idealno rješenje za moderno i minimalistički uređene prostore, razni venecijaneri, nabrani festoni i mnogi drugi modeli. Dekori i detalji na zavjesama su jednako bitni koliko i sama boja, odnosno materijal, jer će zavjesa s neumjesnim detaljima napraviti pravi kaos u prostoriji. Stoga, koliko god vam se na prvi pogled svidjeli uzor- 88 ci na nekoj zavjesi, dobro razmislite kako će se uklopiti u ostatak prostora. Veliki i šareni uzorci prostoru će dati dašak neformalnosti i razigranosti, no istodobno će malu prostoriju vizualno učiniti većom i prostranijom. Ako se odlučite za klasične nabrane zastore, nastojte odabrati one jednobojne ili s minimalnim uzorcima jer će izgledati puno atraktivnije, dok veći uzorci i krupniji dezeni dolaze do izražaja kod modernih panel zavjesa koje su izrazito pogodne za one mlađe vlasnike stanova koji žele nešto opušteniji ambijent. Odabir pravih zavjesa je prava zabava, no prije kupnje dobro pogledajte cijelu prostoriju – od podova i boja zidova, do namještaja i ukrasa na policama. Tamniji podovi, kao što su panel parketi od mahagonija ili terakota, vizualno zatvaraju prostor i čine ga ozbiljnijim, ali i otmjenijim, no kod odabira zavjesa takav prostor treba malo otvoriti, a ne dodatno uozbiljiti. Isto vrijedi i za prostorije u kojima prevladavaju svijetle boje, s tim da je procedura obrnuta. Zavjese daju identitet prostoru, a identitet prostora je i vaš identitet, stoga budite maštoviti pri odabiru zavjesa i posvetite svojemu prostoru ono što treba – originalan identitet.

By changing the curtains, you can quickly and simply change the entire ambience in a certain room, so that every space can shine in brand new fashion with just a little imagination. Naturally, curtains must be adjusted to the remainder of the room, and since you can find all kinds of models from various materials on today’s market, choosing the curtains can be a very fun experience. Different Models – Different Effects The amount of light in the room, the dominant colours and textures have a great deal of influence on the impression that a certain room leaves, which means that those elements have a direct influence on human mood. Therefore, you must be very careful that the curtains you choose achieve the effect you truly wanted. Offices and business premises should reflect a more serious atmosphere, but a huge amount of such ambience can have a negative effect and that can be avoided by choosing the curtains that will achieve a little contrast while lifting the atmosphere and making the room more vibrant. The 90 Nya Nordiska contrast is represented by diversity and it brings life into the room, but make sure to choose the tones that do a good job of complementing each other. When it comes to living rooms, that’s where you can let your imagination run wild, but there are still some unwritten rules that must be respected. If the living room features large windows that provide a lovely panoramic view, then that’s something that must be emphasized. The effect of emphasizing the windows is accomplished by providing a stronger, more expressed contrast towards the rest of the room, so if the living room is dominated by bright furniture, for example a natur ensemble in flax colour, then the windows must be emphasized with curtains in some very bright colours. In that case, the ideal option would be curtains in slightly stronger orange or lemon-yellow. Many agree that there is no such thing as too much natural light in the room, which certainly makes sense, but there are plenty of people who prefer a more intimate atmosphere, and that asks for curtains from thicker materials, which can be used to completely regulate the amount of light that will enter the room. Such curtains are also appropriate for bedrooms. Materials and Samples Any well-equipped curtains store these days offers models from the most various materials; from natural ones like Marimekko flax, burlap and bamboo that will give incredible warmth to the room, to various synthetic and PVC materials that provide a slightly more alternative “kitsch” style. Depending on the purpose, you can find stripe models, classic curtains, Roman and “blackout” curtains, popular package and panel curtains (which are ideal for spaces decorated in modern and minimalist fashion), various Venetian curtains, frilled festoons and many other models. Decors and details on the curtains are just as important as the colour or the material, because curtains with tacky details will provoke chaos in the room. Therefore, as much as you may love some curtains’ samples at first glance, think very carefully about how it will fit into the rest of the room. Large samples of more than one colour will give a breath of informality and playfulness to the space, but will also make the room seem visually bigger and more spacious. If you decide on classic frilled curtains, try choosing the ones in single colour or with minimal samples because they will look way more attractive, while larger samples and bulkier designs reach their full potential with modern panel curtains, which are more convenient for younger apartment owners who are striving for a more relaxed atmosphere. Choosing the right curtains is truly fun, but make sure you double-check the entire room before you go shopping – everything from floors to wall paint, from furniture to decorations on the shelves. Darker floors, such as panel parquets from mahogany or terracotta, visually shut the space down and make it more serious, but also more classy, but you must look to slightly open the space up when you’re picking the curtains, instead of making it extra-serious. The same goes for rooms with dominant bright colours, only the procedure is reverse. Curtains give identity to a room, and the room’s identity is also your identity, so be imaginative while choosing the curtains and provide your space with exactly what it needs – an original identity.

S obzirom da se izrađuje u različitim paletama boja, odličan je izbor za gotovo sve prostorije koje traže dozu originalnosti Piše: Aleksandar Vrtariæ U Foto: www.dekokamen.hr prošlosti je kamen bio osnovni građevinski materijal, no danas je jednako popularan jer predstavlja sam vrh estetike, onaj potreban dodir prirode u četiri zida, te vrhunski ukus. Kameni zidovi jednako lijepo izgledaju na starijim ili novoizgrađenim arhetipskim kućama i kao stilske obloge u luksuznim stanovima. No, sam prirodni kamen ima i brojne nedostatke. Primjerice, svaki tip prirodnog kamena ima svoj optimalni način impregnacije, no u našim krajevima poznati su tek neki od načina, a mnoga sredstva za imregnaciju su nedostupna. Kako prirodni kamen ne bi povlačio ružne mrlje od masnoće i vlage, on mora biti vrhunski impregniran. Osim toga valja istaknuti i vrlo visoke cijene samih materijala i cijene postavljanja prirodnog kamena. Sam proces postavljanja samog kamena, odnosno oblaganja zidova, prilično je zahtjevan i skup, a stručnjake koji su specijalizirani za rad s kamenom nije uvijek lako pronaći. Na svu sreću, građevinski i tehnološki napredak uvijek donosi nešto novo, zanimljivo i atraktivno, a jedan upravo takav proizvod dolazi iz tvrtke Dekokamen. Što je dekokamen? Ukratko, radi se o unikatnom proizvodu od laganog betona, točnije mješavine cementa CEM – II 52.5 koji se odlikuje odličnim mehaničkim karakteristikama, kvarcnog pijeska i ekspandirane gline te ostalih strukturnih elemenata, i, naravno, boje. Dekokamen se izrađuje ručno i vrlo vjerno imitira prirodni kamen. Gotovi proizvodi iz tvrtke, temeljeni na američkoj tehnologiji, realistične su imitacije prirodnog kamena, odnosno njegovih tekstura i boja koje su specifične za određena podneblja. Odljeven iz kalupa prirodnog kamena, dekorativni kamen proizvodi se s brazdama na stražnjoj strani, što uvelike pojednostavljuje i olakšava proces postavljanja koji se ne razlikuje znatno od postavljanja keramičkih 93 Deko Oblutak - model koji vjerno imitira riječni oblutak / Deco Pebble - model which masterfully imitates proper river pebble pločica. Zbog odličnih estetskih, mehaničkih i izolacijskih svojstava, dekokamen je pogodan za oblaganja unutrašnjih i vanjskih zidova. Budući da se izrađuje u različitim paletama boja, dekokamen je odličan izbor za gotovo sve prostorije koje traže dozu originalnosti, a uz prirodne materijale, kao što su drvo, ratan ili bambus, dekokamen će stvoriti savršen interijer. Prednost mu je i što ne zahtijeva dodatno održavanje, pa osim povremenog čišćenja ne traži dodatnu pažnju. Dekori i postavljanje S obzirom na malu težinu, dekorativni kamen ne traži dodatne nosače i temelje za postavljanje, te se vrlo lako i jednostavno postavlja na grubo obrađeni zid. Naravno, ostale podloge, kao što su metal i drvo, traže dodatnu obradu i pripremu. Proizvodi od dekorativnog kamena mogu se koristiti i za oblaganje fasada uz minimalni odmak od tla od 5 cm. Postavljanje je jednostavno, a uz malo truda i libel vagu, dekokamen može postaviti svatko tko posjeduje osnovno znanje o građevinarstvu. Neki modeli, kao što je “Deko Kampus”, koji savršeno imitira lomljeni kamen, izrazito su pogodni za “sam svoj majstor” sistem jer postavljanje ne zahtijeva veliku preciznost. Svi dekori su dostupni u nekoliko boja, 94 pa tako na raspolaganju stoje modeli arhaičnog izgleda, koji daju efekt teškog kamena s ravnim rubovima, model “Deko Rusticus” kojim se postiže pravi rustikalni ambijent. Tu je i model “Deko Velox” koji će se savršeno uklopiti s najmodernijim i najluksuznijim namještajem. Ovisno o regiji, dostupne su i imitacije kao što je “Deko Oblutak”, koji uvjerljivo oponaša pravi riječni oblutak koji se često koristi u kontinentalnim dijelovima. Dostupnost i cijene dekorativnog kamena Proizvodi iz tvrtke Dekokamen dostupni su gotovo u svim županijama, kod dvadesetak distributera. S obzirom na kvalitetu, uistinu prekrasne dekore i činjenicu da se radi o unikatnom proizvodu, cijene dekorativnog kamena su doista pristupačne. Ovisno o modelu, okvirne maloprodajne cijene se kreću između 200 kuna za najpovoljniji model i 270 kuna za najskuplji model, dok se cijene kutnih elemenata kreću između 170 i 240 kuna po dužnome metru. Dakle, cijene se nimalo ne razlikuju od onih za keramičke pločice, drvene ili PVC zidne obloge, pa bez obzira za koji model se odlučili, nećete pogriješiti, jer prirodni materijali uvijek izgledaju atraktivno. Praktično, povoljno i, što je najvažnije, lijepo i originalno! Deko Oblutak Deko Villa Info Written by: Aleksandar Vrtariæ Artificial Stone – A Luxury You Can Afford Due to the excellent aesthetical, mechanical and isolation characteristics, artificial stone is convenient for covering indoor and outdoor walls. Considering the fact that it’s being produced in different palettes of colours, it is an excellent choice for almost any room that is in need of a dose of originality S tone was the primary construction material of the past, but it is just as popular these days because it represents the very peak of aesthetics, the necessary touch of nature within the four walls, as well as excellent taste. Stone walls look just as lovely on older or newly built archetypal houses and as style-related coverings in luxurious apartments. However, natural stone itself has numerous shortcomings. For example, every type of natural stone has its own optimal way of impregnation, but only some of those ways are familiar in our area, while many impregnation materials are inaccessible. To ensure that natural stone doesn’t leave any ugly stains due to its grease and dampness, it must be impregnated in topnotch manner. In addition, we must point out that the prices of materials and prices of natural stone’s installation are very high. The very process of stone installation, or covering the walls, is pretty demanding and expensive, and experts who are specialized in working with stone are not always easy to find. Luckily, progress in construction and technology always brings some new, interesting and attractive options, and one of such products comes from the company called Dekokamen (“Artificial stone”). What Is Artificial stone? In short, this is a unique product made of light concrete, or more precisely of a mixture of cement CEM – II 52.5, which has excellent mechanical characteristics, quartz sand and puffed clay and other structural elements and, naturally, paint. Artificial stone is manually produced and it imitates natural stone in very faithful fashion. Finished products from the company, based on American technology, are realistic imitations of natural stone and its textures and colours that are typical of certain areas. Decanted from a natural-stone mould, decorative stone is produced with ridges on its backside, which largely simplifies the installation process that is not very different from installing ceramic tiles. Due to the excellent aesthetical, mechanical and isolation characteristics, artificial stone 95 Info Postavljanje je jednostavno, dekokamen može postaviti svatko tko posjeduje osnovno znanje o građevinarstvu / The installing process is simple, artificial stone can be installed by anybody with elementary knowledge on construction is convenient for covering indoor and outdoor walls. Considering the fact that it’s being produced in different palettes of colours, artificial stone is an excellent choice for almost any room that is in need of a dose of originality, and combined with natural materials such as wood, rattan or bamboo, artificial stone will create the perfect interior. Extra-advantage is that it doesn’t require additional maintenance, so all that is needed is some periodical cleaning. choose models that provide an archaic look and that give the effect of heavy stone with flat edges, such as model “Deco Rusticus” that achieves true rustic ambience. There is also model “Deco Velox”, which will wonderfully complement the most modern and luxurious furniture. Depending on the region, you may also have access to imitations like “Deco Pebble”, which masterfully imitates proper river pebbles and is often used in continental parts. Decors and Installing Considering its small weight, decorative stone doesn’t ask for any additional support or installing foundations, and is very easily and simply positioned on a roughly processed wall. It goes without saying that other surfaces, such as steel and wood, ask for extra-processing and preparation. Artificial stone products can also be used for covering facades with 5 cm of minimal distance from the ground. The installing process is simple, and with a little effort and a “libel” scale, artificial stone can be installed by anybody with elementary knowledge on construction. Some models, such as “Deco Campus” that perfectly imitates broken stone, are extremely convenient for the “do it yourself” system because the instalment process doesn’t demand extreme preciseness. All decors are available in several colours, so you can also Decorative Stone’s Accessibility and Prices Products from the “Dekokamen” company are available in almost all counties at about twenty distributors. Considering its quality, truly wonderful decors and the fact that we’re talking about a unique product, prices of decorative stone are definitely accessible. Depending on the model, approximate retail prices range from 200 kunas for the most accessible model and 270 kunas for the most expensive model, while the prices of corner elements move from 170 and 240 kunas per running metre. That means that the prices are in no way different from those for ceramic tiles, wooden or PVC wall coverings, so regardless of the model you choose, you will not make a mistake as natural materials always look attractive. Practical, accessible and, most importantly, lovely and original. 96 Deko Gelet Deko Convex Deko Monte 97 Kult ni komad Upečatljiva poput modernističke skulpture, lampa dominira prostorom, ali ni u jednom trenutku dekorativna strana ne nadvladava onu upotrebnu / Distinct like a modernist sculpture, the lamp dominates the room, but in no moment does the decorative side dominate the functional side Mariano Fortuny Y Madrazo: FORTUNY 1907. “Fortuny” zauvijek Osim slikanja i bavljenja tekstilom, Fortuny je eksperimentirao koristeći električno svjetlo u scenskom dizajnu. Tako je dizajnirana i lampa “Fortuny”, nastala po uzoru na kazališni reflektor pomoću kojega se jednostavno moglo mijenjati svjetlo na pozornici, krećući se od danje svjetlosti vedroga neba do pomrčine i sumraka Piše: Nataša Bodrožiæ M ariano Fortuny Y Madrazo (1871.-1949.), jedan od najsvestranijih umjetnika na prijelazu iz 19. u 20. stoljeće, dizajner odjeće i tekstila, osvjetljenja, fotograf, arhitekt, izumitelj, rođen u Granadi, školovan u Parizu, a koji je većinu života proveo u Veneciji, svojim je radom obilježio epohu. Odjenuo je najveće dame svoga vremena, osvijetlio najvažnije pozornice, surađivao s najvećim piscima te stvorio jednu od najljepših lampi, koja je po njemu dobila ime “Fortuny”. Umjetnička obitelj Mariano Fortuny potječe iz umjetničke obitelji, otac mu je bio poznati španjolski slikar, a majčina imućna, 98 umjetnosti naklonjena obitelj trajno je podupirala poznati madridski muzej “Prado”. Fortuny pripada krugu umjetnika art nouveaua, zajedno s Tiffanyjem, Laliqueom i prerafaelitskim slikarima. Iako se u Parizu školovao za slikara, najveći trag u povijesti ostavio je dizajnom odjeće i tekstila, nadahnut antikom i Orijentom, otkrivši posebnu tehniku bojenja svile, ali i konstruirajući te patentirajući strojeve koji su proizvodili tkaninu s printevima, reproducirajući dubinu, kolorit i ljepotu starinskog brokata, baršuna i tapiserija. Na samom početku 20. stoljeća, Fortunyja privlače novi stilovi u dizajniranju tekstila i modi te novi estetski i funkcionalni koncepti koje su promovirali reformatori novih primijenjenih umjetnosti, poput engleskog dizaj- nera Williama Morrisa i slikara E. Burnea Jonesa, posebice njihove teorije o modernom stilu oslobođenom od svih zabrana i konvencija. Uskoro i sam postaje jedan od onih koji svojim talentom, inventivnošću i širinom duha suptilno mijenjaju svijet. Ulazak u svijet mode Godine 1907. Fortuny ulazi u svijet mode. Naime, tada je dizajnirao svoju najspektakularniju art nouveau haljinu “Delfi”, od plisirane svile, nadahnutu antičkom grčkom skulpturom. Dugačka, vrlo jednostavna i lagana haljina, senzualno je prianjala uz tijelo, dopuštajući slobodu pokreta. Revolucionarna u svojem obliku, pomalo arty, diskretno zavodljiva, ali nadasve funkcionalna, haljina je obično završavala venecijanskim bojenim perlama na rubovima. Sam Marcel Proust, impresioniran njezinom ljepotom, u jednom od svojih tekstova, zapitao se o posebnosti takvog odjevnog predmeta. Dvojeći da li da mu pripiše vrijednost zbog iznimnog povijesnog uzora ili čiste jedinstvenosti, francuski je pisac pomalo naslućivao individualistički modni stil dvadesetog stoljeća koje se upravo rađalo. Fortunyjeve modele svilenih haljina nosile su ikone onoga doba, poput Sare Berhnard, Eleonore Duse i Isadore Duncan, a veliki američki redatelj Orson Welles dao je izraditi kostime za svoj film “Othello” od njegovih prepoznatljivih tkanina. Fortunyjevi modeli danas su iznimno vrijedni kolekcionarski primjerci, a njegov rad utjecao je i na niz suvremenih dizajnera, poput japanskog kreatora Issey Miyakea. Eksperimentiranje sa svjetlom Na prijelazu stoljeća, osim slikanja i bavljenja tekstilom, Fortuny je eksperimentirao koristeći, nedugo prije izumljeno, električno svjetlo u scenskom dizajnu. Iste je godine, 1907., dizajnirana i lampa “Fortuny”, nastala po uzoru na kazališni reflektor pomoću kojega se jednostavno moglo mijenjati svjetlo na pozornici, krećući se od danje svjetlosti vedroga neba do pomrčine i sumraka. Lampa “Fortuny” funkcionira na sličnom principu i jasno demonstrira dizajnerovu filozofiju po kojoj “predmete ne čini vidljivima količina svjetla, nego njegova kvaliteta”. Ova elegantna svjetiljka suptilno propušta svjetlost koja se prelijeva poput opala kroz svilene zaslone razvučene preko njezine nježne konstrukcije. Kod originalne lampe, svila se bojila ručno, sadržavajući zlatne motive nadahnute orijentalnom umjetnošću, a na samom kraju dodavane su staklene perle i svilene uzice. Podna lampa “Fortuny” ponovno je u proizvodnji od 1985. godine, a proizvodi je talijanska tvrtka “Pallucco”. U povodu stogodišnjice toga iznimnog dizajnerskog komada, lampa je modificirana kako bi se dodatno naglasile njezine čiste i jednostavne linije. Bijela boja koja diskretno naglašava njezinu elegantnu konstrukciju uz Lampu “Fortuny” proizvodi talijanska tvrtka “Pallucco” / Lamp “Fortuny” is produced by Italian company “Pallucco” 99 U povodu stogodišnjice, lampa je modificirana kako bi se dodatno naglasile njezine čiste i jednostavne linije / Due to the 100th anniversary of this exceptional designer piece, the lamp was modified in order to put extra-emphasis on its pure and simple lines srebrne zrake u futurističkoj ritmičkoj sekvenci, čine je svježom i izrazito privlačnom, uklapajući je u dinamičnu sadašnjost. “Fortuny” funkcionira kao rotirajuća podna lampa s mehanizmom za prilagođavanje visine, a dostupna je u bijeloj, bež ili crnoj boji, te u ornamentalnoj verziji zaslona, s bijelim printom na bež ili crnoj podlozi. Najnoviji, rođendanski model ove lampe imena “Century”, na unutrašnjoj strani zaslona ima i srebrne printove. Svjetiljka “Fortuny” primjer je rane modernističke preokupacije industrijskim materijalima, funkcionalizmom i položajem predmeta u prostoru. Upečatljiva poput modernističke skulpture, lampa na neki način dominira prostorom, ali ni u jednom trenutku dekorativna strana ne nadvladava onu upotrebnu. Ipak, lampa “Fortuny”, uklopljena u neki prostrani interijer, teško će ostati neprimijećena. Mariano Fortuny y Madrazo većinu je svoga stvaralačkog i životnog vijeka proveo u Veneciji. Tamo je kupio impresivnu palaču Pesaro Orfei koju je pretvorio u golemi atelijer/laboratorij imena Palazzo Fortuny, a danas je u njoj smješten muzej “Fortuny” u kojemu se mogu naći brojni primjerci njegova rada. U svoje vrijeme slavljen kao “venecijanski čarobnjak”, ime koje su mu nadjenuli njegovi suvremenici, Mariano Fortuny ostat će zapamćen u povijesti umjetnosti i dizajna kao jedan od posljednjih “renesansnih ljudi” u pravom smislu te riječi. Kon- 100 stantna znatiželja tjerala ga je uvijek u novu potragu, na putovanje u širinu europskih i orijentalnih prostora, ali i u dubinu povijesti, stare Grčke i Egipta. Nadahnut likom i djelom njemačkog skladatelja, ali i mislioca, Richarda Wagnera, Fortuny je definirao i vlastite estetske ideale. Smatrao je da umjetnik treba kontrolirati svaku etapu svog umjetničkog stvaranja, do u najsitnije detalje, te da ni jedna umjetnička disciplina ne nadmašuje onu drugu, da su sve jednako važne. Umjetnik koji je izumio brodski propeler, izumitelj koji je dizajnirao najljepše haljine Isadori Duncan, estet koji je izrađivao vlastiti namještaj, pribor za slikanje, prelamao vlastite knjige, teoretičar svjetla koji je svoje teorije primjenjivao u praksi postižući nevjerojatne rezultate, Mariano Fortuny sveobuhvatno je utjecao na moderni život. Fortunyjeve tkanine proizvode se i danas, jednako su kvalitetne, nevjerojatno trajne i obavijene dozom mistike jer Fortunyjeva metoda nikada nije potpuno otkrivena javnosti, kako legenda kaže. Ipak, neki od njegovih dizajnerskih komada, poput lampe “Fortuny”, proizvode se i unaprjeđuju i danas te su dostupni kupcima istančanog ukusa i nešto dubljeg džepa. Lampa “Fortuny” tvrtke Pallucco dostupna je i kod nas i može se nabaviti preko tvrtke za dizajniranje rasvjete u arhitekturi “Lumenart” iz Pule. A piece of cult Written by: Nataša Bodrožiæ Mariano Fortuny Y Madrazo: FORTUNY 1907 “Fortuny” Forever Besides painting and working with textile, Fortuny experimented by using electric light in scene design. That brought to the design of lamp “Fortuny”, which was created after a stage light in the theatre that enabled the lighting on the stage to be changed effortlessly, ranging from the daylight of the clear sky to eclipse and dusk M ariano Fortuny Y Madrazo (1871. – 1949.), one of the most versatile artists of the late 19th and early 20th century, designer of clothes, textiles and lighting, photographer, architect, inventor, born in Granada, educated in Paris and spent most of his life in Venice, has left a huge mark on his era with his work. He dressed the greatest ladies of his time, put lighting on the most important stages, cooperated with the greatest writers and created one of the most beautiful lamps, which was named “Fortuny” after its creator. Artistic Family Mariano Fortuny comes from an artistic family; his father was a famous Spanish painter, while his mother’s art-favourable family has permanently supported the wellknown Prado Museum in Madrid. Fortuny belongs to the “art nouveau” circle of artists, along with Tiffany, Lalique and the pre-Raphaelite painters. Although he graduated as a painter in Paris, he left his biggest mark in history by designing clothes and textile, inspired by the Classical Period and the Orient. He discovered the special technique of colouring silk, but he also constructed and patented machines that produced fabric with prints, reproducing the depth, colouring and beauty of an archaic brocade, velvet and tapestry. At the very beginning of the 20th century, Fortuny was attracted to new styles in textile design and fashion, as well as the new aesthetical and functional concepts that were promoted by reformers of new applied types 102 of art, such as the English designer William Morris and painter E. Burne Jones, and particularly by their theories on the modern style that is liberated from all prohibitions and conventions. Soon enough, he also becomes one of those artists who subtly start changing the world with his talent, inventiveness and broadness of spirit. Entering the World of Fashion Fortuny enters the world of fashion in 1907. That was the year he designed his most spectacular “art nouveau” dress “Delfi”, made from fluted silk and inspired by an antique Greek sculpture. A long, very simple and light dress, it sensually adhered to the body and allowed the freedom of movement. Featuring a revolutionary shape, slightly arty, discretely seductive, but predominantly functional, the dress usually ended with Venetian coloured beads at the edges. Marcel Proust himself, impressed with its beauty, wondered in one of his texts about the specialty of such a clothing piece. Doubting whether to acknowledge its value due to the exceptional historical role model or its pure uniqueness, the French writer slightly sensed the individualistic fashion style of the 20th century that was emerging on the horizon. Models of Fortuny’s silken dresses were worn by the icons of that era, such as Sara Berhnard, Eleonora Duse and Isadora Duncan, while the great American director Orson Welles had the costumes for his film “Othello” made from his recognizable fabrics. These days, Fortuny’s models are extremely valuable collector’s items, and his work “Fortuny” funkcionira kao rotirajuća podna lampa s mehanizmom za prilagođavanje visine / “Fortuny” functions as a rotating floor lamp with a mechanism that adjusts the height Rođendanski model lampe “Century” / “Birthday” model of the lamp named “Century” has affected many contemporary designers, such as the Japanese creator Issey Miyake. Experimenting with Light At the turn of the century, besides painting and working with textile, Fortuny experimented by using the then-invented electric light in scene design. During that same year of 1907, the “Fortuny” lamp was designed after a stage light in the theatre that enabled the lighting on the stage to be changed effortlessly, ranging from the daylight of the clear sky to eclipse and dusk. Lamp “Fortuny” functions on a similar principle and clearly demonstrates the designer’s philosophy that “objects do not become visible due to the amount of light, but rather due to its quality”. This elegant lamp subtly defuses the light that overflows like an opal through silken curtains that are spread over its gentle construction. The silk was manually coloured on the original lamp, and it contained golden motifs inspired by Oriental art, while glass beads and silken leashes were added at the end. Floor lamp “Fortuny” is again being manufactured since 1985, and it is produced by Italian company “Pallucco”. Due to the 100th anniversary of this exceptional designer piece, the lamp was modified in order to put extra-emphasis on its pure and simple lines. The white colour, which discretely points out its elegant construction, and silver rays in a futuristic rhythmical sequence make it fresh and extremely attractive, adjusting it to the dynamic present period. “Fortuny” functions as a rotating floor lamp with a mechanism that adjusts the height, and it’s available in white, beige or black, as well as in an ornamental version of the background, featuring a white print on a beige or black surface. The newest “birthday” model of this lamp named “Century” also has silver prints on the background’s inside. The “Fortuny” lamp is an example of early modernist preoccupation with industrial materials, functionalism and position of the object in a room. Distinct like a modernist sculpture, the lamp dominates the room in a certain way, but in no moment does the decorative side dominate the functional side. However, if you put the “Fortuny” lamp in a spacious interior, it will hardly stay unnoticed. Mariano Fortuny Y Madrazo has spent most of his creative and overall life in Venice. That’s where he bought the impressive palace Pesaro Orfei, which he turned into a huge atelier/laboratory named Palazzo Fortuny, and today that is the home of museum “Fortuny”, where you can find numerous products of his work. Celebrated as the “Venetian Magician” in his time by his contemporaries, Mariano Fortuny will remain remembered in the history of art and design as one of the last “renaissance people” in the true sense of that term. Constant curiosity pushed him into brand new quests, whether it meant travelling the broad European or Oriental spaces, or reaching down deep into the history of ancient Greece and Egypt. Inspired by the work and figure of German compositor, but also philosopher, Richard Wagner, Fortuny defined his own aesthetical ideals. He claimed that an artist should control every stage of his artistic process, down to the slightest of details, and that no artistic discipline outweighs the other one because they are all just as important. An artist who invented the boat propeller, inventor who designed Isadora Duncan’s most beautiful dresses, an aesthete who made his own furniture and painting equipment, set pages on his own books, and also a theoretician of light who implemented his own theories in practice while achieving amazing results, Mariano Fortuny has left an undeniable influence on modern life. Fortuny’s fabrics are still manufactured, and they have just as much quality, are incredibly durable and covered in a dose of mystique because Fortuny’s methods were never completely revealed to the public, according to the legend. Still, some of his designer pieces, such as the “Fortuny” lamp, are still manufactured and further perfected, and are available to buyers of refined taste and a deeper pocket. Pallucco’s “Fortuny” lamp is also available in our area and can be purchased through the “Lumenart” company from Pula, which deals with designing architectural lighting. 103 Dekoracije HARLEQUIN, www.harlequin.uk.com Zidne tapete iz nove kolekcije Estravagance, inspirirane prirodom / Wallpapers from the new Estravagance collection, inspired by nature 104 Pripremila / Edited by: Ana Perišin Boje jeseni Colours of the Autumn Drvo se koristi za izradu namještaja od samih početaka civilizacije, uspješno odolijevajući naletima modernih materijala koji mu pariraju cijenom i mogućnostima obrade.

Colours that are presented to us by autumn, a season filled with luscious aromas and tastes, are an eternal inspiration for decorators. The autumn colours - different shades of brown, green, orange and grey - should definetely be used in your home as well. Wallpapers inspired by nature, soft pillows and blankets from natural materials, candlesticks, brushwood baskets filled with chestnuts... all that in warm autumn colours, and a pleasant ambience is guaranteed. There is a countless number of ideas. Let your imagination run wild and invite autumn into your home.

Upravo tada je na ostacima stare utvrde izgrađen Humski kaštel, pa zatim i prvi niz kuća budućega gradića. U to je vrijeme Istra pripadala Franačkom Carstvu i u tom je sklopu 1040. godine postala zasebnom markom. Markgrof Ulrich I. je na pograničnim predjelima svoje države obnovio i podigao niz kaštela, među kojima i ovaj u Humu. Godine 1102. Ulrich II. daje Hum, uz niz drugih kaštela, kao feud akvilejskom patrijarhu. U darovnici se navodi “castrum Cholm” (prema starom hrvatskom obliku Hlm) i to je prvo spominjanje Huma. Tim činom zapravo počinje povijest Huma kao utvrde. I u kasnjim povijesnim izvorima, sve do 17. stoljeća, Hum se spominje kao “castrum”, dakle tvrđava, čime se naglašavala njegova fortifikacijska uloga. Danas je ovaj gradić spomen-grad, kao jedan od rijetkih sačuvanih primjera urbanog razvoja isključivo unutar ranosrednjovjekovnih zidina. Zanimljivo je da se od 11. stoljeća do danas, izvan humskih gradskih zidina gotovo ništa nije gradilo, naselje je ostalo unutar gra- U Humu žive tek tri obitelji, što ukupno iznosi tek 17 stanovnika.

Ima i prekrasnu obalu uz sjeverozapadno područje hrvatskog Jadrana, te predivne vile s bazenima u “zapuštenim” dijelovima unutrašnjosti, za kojima su poludjeli stranci i domaći koji se žele pošto-poto odvojiti barem na trenutak od vreve svakodnevice i uživati u netaknutom prirodnom okruženju. No, Istra ima i nešto što zasigurno ne postoji nigdje drugdje. Najmanji grad 44 na svijetu! Podatke čuva i Guinnessova knjiga svjetskih rekorda. U Humu žive tek tri obitelji, što ukupno iznosi tek 17 stanovnika. Ovaj zanimljivi gradić smješten je u srcu Istre, u buzetskoj općini. Od grada Buzeta udaljen je 14 km, do njega se može, sa svih strana, doći automobilom, autobusom ili vlakom, ali mnogi ga izletnici pohode i pješice.

Humski se kaštel nalazio na platou u zapadnom dijelu gradića unutar obrambenih zidova, na mjestu gdje se danas dijelom nalaze župna crkva, župni dvor i najzapadniji dio sjevernog niza kuća. Tlocrt kaštela imao je oblik pravokutnika veličine 35x30 m. Ulaz u kaštel bio je iznutra, iz grada. Njegova je osnovna namjena bila obrambena. A onda se uz kaštel postupno gradilo i naselje. Nastao je tako gradić položen po hrptu izduženog brijega, unutar gradskih zidina koje zatvaraju površinu približno pravokutnog oblika dužine stotinjak i širine oko 35 metara. Prostornu organizaciju gradića čine tri paralelna niza kuća što se pružaju od istoka prema zapadu, dvije ulice koje ih odjeljuju i trapezasti trg kod glavnih gradskih vrata. Kaštel je dvjema ulicama bio izravno povezan sa svim dijelovima grada. Stambene kuće u sva tri niza gledale su na ulice, pa je tako bio omogućen brz dolazak vojne posade i brzo sklanjanje svih gradskih žitelja u kaštel.
