Its most recent contribution is Klaster, a flexible modular system made up of cubes, and its most iconic, that title goes to Polygon, which pays homage to the modernist typology of a seat. It’s articulated as a series of separate elements connected by a bent tubular steel construction so it doesn’t usurp space with its size.
A fan of the puzzle-like modular concept? Don’t miss Summit by Snøhetta is a modern-day modular amphitheatre.
Another long-term collaborator is Simon Morasi Piperčić, Zagreb-based industrial design agency which created a versatile framework that, thanks to its modular relations, can become chairs, bar stools and tables of various heights (if you haven’t noticed, modularity is a recurring theme—from its very beginnings, Prostoria has explored themes of flexibility and transformability). The result is a distinct collection of leg junctions thanks to the intertwining of steel tubes.
Prostoria revamps essential elements of contemporary interiors in accordance with its minimalist aesthetic. The same can be said for its wider collection of household objects and accessories, which includes bar stools, benches, shelving units and a flat-pack coat stand, the latter designed by interdisciplinary studio Neisako.
The name of the Simetria coat stand reflects the symmetrical construction arising from the rotation and mirroring of a single wooden part. The straight lines of the juxtaposed pyramids dynamically change the appearance of the coat stand, from static symmetry to a dynamic and vibrating form, depending on the angle of viewing.
Minimalism is the ultimate design solution according to some, don’t miss Humble design – The origins and essence of minimalism.
Over the past ten years, this cohort of designers have contributed to Prostoria’s new identity, expressed through a synergy between innovative ideas, technology, craftsmanship and overall premium performance. Today those values are more important than ever, especially as this decennial anniversary appears to mark an exciting move into new markets.
At present, Prostoria exports its products to over 60 countries across 5 continents, covering 890 high-end points of sale, 42 collections and 130 different products. But there is still room to grow…
“As the pandemic has shifted the dynamics of home and work, our home spaces have become the focal points of a new search for comfort and security,” it says. “Prostoria has furnished many business premises around the world, but in this new context, more and more individuals are coming to us in search of furniture for their homes.”
“This opportunity to help reshape lives in a new reality is something we greatly appreciate. As have many others, we have used this period to reflect on our aims and strip ourselves down to the very essence. All the better for you to see just what we are made of.”
