POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

As part of "Trace of Resistance: Contemporary Croatian Ceramics in 10 Authorial Visions," a group exhibition featuring 10 artists at Zagreb Design Week, I'll be presenting a selection of ceramic design investigations from previous years.

It's a result of an ongoing dialogue with clay, exploring how texture, chance, and hands transform functional objects into small works of art, as the result of pure curiosity and practice. From experiments to everyday rituals.

Opening on Tuesday, 15 September from 18h
On view until Sunday, 20 September

Grandad built it, and we kept its story alive instead of buying new. Not every corner belongs to flat-pack furniture. Some things gain value with time. A summer project in the true rival spirit of a designer and an engineer. by @ktrpcic

According to some dear people, I was lucky enough to be selected for the BIG SEE Perspectives Award 2026 in the Product Design category as part of the young creative scene.

Thanks to Danijela Domljan for the nomination and Zoran Jedrejčić for the recommendation. Grateful to both of You for recognizing me as a right fit for this spot.

Unexpected, but also a really nice reminder of years spent exploring, shifting directions, and working across different design fields and industries. Not always in a straight line, but always with curiosity and care. Grateful to be part of this platform alongside so many thoughtful and inspiring creatives.

Product design may no longer be my only focus, but it’s still my first love... the one I always come back to with a bit of courage.

If you’re curious, join me on May 22nd in Portorož, Slovenia to hear a brief story, a quick overview of the work so far… somewhere in between craftsmanship and commerciality with the scent of bagrem ;) Reflecting on a holistic, interdisciplinary approach that seems to make the most sense for one’s growth.

For the past few weeks, two large pieces from the NMP jalba project found a temporary home at the @su.putnici space, where they took on a new role as functional curtains. By day, they softly diffused natural light, as gentle sunshades, and by night, they became an intimate boundary between interior and street. Illuminated with spotlights, they drew in passersby, inviting moments of pause at the window.

Thank you @jewkez for the invite and collab.

Now, selected pieces from the jalba project are returning home, to Stari Grad Ozalj. There they will be presented in a new context as part of the 11th International Lace Exhibition.

You’re warmly invited to join us at the opening this Saturday, April 25, at 18:00. by @ktrpcic

Bagrem Studio became our shared field of creation, a living dialogue between two disciplines, two sensibilities, two authors. Within it, type design meets product design and craft, as hands shape letters and hands shape form.

Our attention was never fixed only on the outcome, but on presence, honesty, curiosity, and trust within the process. We allowed ourselves time, letting ideas be felt before they were fully formed and seen.

The process unfolded fluidly, as letters were melting, crystallizing, and slowly gathering into structure. Nothing was over-controlled or forced. We followed what emerged, allowing spontaneity and the trace of the hand to remain visible and alive.

In this space of experimentation, letters and objects appeared through a continuous negotiation between tools, authorship, intuition, and form. Our connection moved quietly within it, shaping the work through a rhythm of making.

It is with joy that we share this work with you,
