We're Open!

We’re Open!

An assemblage of 100% fresh Slovenian design.

We’re Open! is full of contrasts and contradistinctions: it’s design that floats and anchors, is complex and pragmatic, sensible and silly, seriously playful, high–tech and all–natural, loud and proud yet soft & subtle. It’s a nod to the past and the future both – a kind of retro–futuro designscape – which locates it in the very contemporary present. Which could be interpreted as a respectful, admiring nod to our predecessors and our rich design tradition; a kind of celebration of their passion for colour and contrast, geometry and modularity. Local/regional folklore and handicraft inform and inspire hand–woven kilims, wooden kitchen utensils, architecture–adorned ceramics, even playful pet furniture. Looking forward, we see 3D–printed wood & plastic composite lamps, illuminated clouds made from repurposed airbags, thinly–sliced LED lamps and lighting schemes tapping into sophisticated, super–light carbon technologies.
