Prostoria\u2019s BONDS series celebrates the Life of Furniture <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Croatian furniture brand Prostoria<\/a> has launched BONDS, a documentary-style film series exploring the people, ideas, and relationships shaping its creative world. Conceived in collaboration with emerging filmmakers, BONDS weaves together three episodes into a cohesive portrait of design as a collaborative, human-centered practice. Through personal stories, architectural ambition, and a commitment to craft, the series invites viewers to see furniture not as static objects, but as silent witnesses to life\u2019s moments \u2014 and as connectors between people, places, and ideas.<\/p>\n

episode 1: BONDS WITH POLYGON<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Each episode focuses on a different aspect of design, building a mosaic of voices connected by shared values of innovation, craftsmanship, and human connection. With Episode 1, \u2018BONDS with Polygon,\u2019 the series opens in Zagreb with celebrated creative director Davor Bruketa, co-founder of Bruketa&\u017dini\u0107&Grey, who invites viewers into his home to explore his personal connection to design. At the center of his living room for over a decade is the Polygon easy chair, one of Prostoria\u2019s most iconic pieces. Known for its striking geometry and comfort, Polygon has witnessed everyday life unfold \u2014 from quiet moments of reading to lively family gatherings.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The film gains emotional depth as Bruketa recounts how the chair was damaged during the 2020 Zagreb earthquake and later fully restored by Prostoria, a gesture that underscored the brand\u2019s dedication to lasting quality and care. The episode captures how furniture can transcend functionality to become part of life\u2019s narrative, carrying with it memories, emotions, and meaning.<\/p>\n

episode 2: Manu \u2013 A House in Harmony with Nature<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Set on the island of Vis, Croatia, the Episode 2 \u2018Manu \u2013 A House in Harmony with Nature\u2019\u00a0 transports viewers to House Manu, a modern Mediterranean retreat designed by Biro Luksic for entrepreneur Zoran Sainovic. Perched in the hills above the island Vis in the Adriatic, the house balances privacy and openness, seamlessly merging indoor and outdoor living through architecture that embraces the local climate and landscape.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prostoria\u2019s furniture shapes the experience of this home: the\u00a0Echo\u00a0sofa and armchair create a serene living area, the Monk dining table and Bik chairs bring intimacy to shared meals, while the Osmo and Jugo outdoor pieces extend comfort into the natural surroundings. For Sainovic, the house represents more than shelter \u2014 it embodies a lifestyle where architecture, nature, and furniture coexist in quiet harmony.\u00a0<\/p>\n

episode 3: BONDS with MVA Architects<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Episode 3 is titled \u2018BONDS with MVA Architects\u2019 and explores Prostoria\u2019s collaboration with MVA Architects, led by Mikelic & Vres in Zagreb. Over the years, the architects have integrated Prostoria furniture into numerous projects, including the MDK, production and business facility, a landmark office building in Croatia. The film captures the synergy between architecture and design as the architects reflect on shared values: mid-20th-century modernist inspiration, simplicity, functionality, and an appreciation for materials. Their partnership with Prostoria exemplifies how thoughtful furniture can complement and elevate architectural space, creating environments that feel both contemporary and timeless.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018We share the same passion for good design and quality. In our work, we often look for inspiration in mid-20th-century modernism \u2013 the 1950s and 1960s. Prostoria and we share values like simplicity, functionality, abstraction, and an approach how to treat materials, both in design and the creative process,\u2019 explains Mikelic & Vres (MVA) Architects from Zagreb.<\/p>\n
