Oris House of Architecture is organizing a presentation of Adris grupa's Office Building Interior in Zagreb, which was designed by architect Vedrana Ergić. Accompanying Ergić, the project will be discussed by architect Ante Nikša Bilić and Maroje Mrduljaš, Oris' editor-in-chief. The presentation is set to happen on Monday, 18 December 2017, at 6 pm. 

 

 

For Ergić the furnishing of a space is a cultural subject matter and a functional task as well as a part of designing an atmosphere. As a true connoisseur of design history, Ergić selects equipment following the mix and match principle, comparable to the curatorial work, whereas the composition of furniture is guided by aesthetic principles as well as the criteria of its cultural relevance. Ergić rather confidently places such design classics in atypical settings and specific contexts: light fixtures are hung at unusual heights; pieces of furniture are given new roles and purposes. Finally, in collaboration with other designers, Ergić also redesigns certain products to adapt them to the space and ambience. Therefore, if necessary, Ergić is ready to act as a product designer with a special interest in the topic of customization.
