The cover motif represents the New Railway Bridge, also known as the Green Bridge or the Hendrix bridge, one of the bridges over the Sava river. Built at the site in 1862, it is the oldest bridge in Zagreb used for vehicle traffic. Due to its dilapidation and the fact that it no longer met traffic needs, in the 1930s it was decided to construct a bigger bridge. At the time of construction, the bridge had a Langer's beam with the largest span on railway bridges in Europe. In urban culture, the bridge is also known as the Hendrix's bridge because of the graffiti that was made on the outer side of the bridge with the last name of the famous guitarist Jimmy Hendrix. The grafiti was featured on the bridge for decades inspite of beeing repainted several times. There was even a petition in Zagreb over renaming the Green Bridge to the Hendrix bridge and it is still one of the prominent and much loved features on the Sava river.

Spring is at the city gates, a good time to visit its extensive green spaces with the ability to charm even the most stressed traveler. Take your time to stroll through numerous city parks and don’t forget to visit Maksimir Park or Medvednica Nature Park as well as Medvedgrad, the largest Croatian medieval noble court with a unique view of Zagreb.
While walking through the city center you may also indulge in the offer of craftsmen presented in this Guide. We always try to give a broad overview of the high quality our city has to offer. In this issue for example, you can find an interview with the very talented jewelry designer Dalia Katavić, specialized in creating artistic jewelry, and Ksenija Vrabanić, the name behind XD Xenia Design fashion label, a sort of a legend in the Croatian fashion scene. Besides fashion and jewelry, the guide presents souvenirs with a twist, Croatian design shops, artisan products as well as specialized stores.
So dear guests, please use the opportunity to enjoy our city and soak in its flavor which is greatly influenced by its residents and craftsmen. It is those nuances that make every city around the world a special place to visit over and over again. So even if you should be here on business, take an afternoon, clear your schedule and take a walk of the city, possibly discovering something you might want to take home as a reminder of the time spent here. We are hoping for the best weather this spring for your adventures in Zagreb!
Enjoy your spring city break! Insight Design Guide Team

Zagreb is a city well known for its coffee culture which basically means sitting for hours and sipping on your cup of any kind of coffee.

So, to remember that coffee culture we present MARINSKI HEARTMADES, ceramic cups available in TAKE ME HOME (Tomićeva 4) which will always remind you of Zagreb even when you indulge in your favorite beverage at home. Besides coffee, you should definitely try Croatian wine – we suggest the Croatian wine label MARTIN ALBUS, perfect for all true connoisseurs.

What inspires you in your work? And what makes Xenia Design a recognizable brand?
Inspiration is born through constant work. With each new collection there is an upgrade of the previous one and always a new exploration of construction possibilities and new fabrics. After 37 years in business, collections from our own archive are a great inspiration.
Besides Zagreb and Croatia in general, where else can one find Xenia Design creations?
You have been on the Croatian fashion scene for more than 35 years. How would you describe it today? What is the secret of your 'longevity'?
From today's point of view we have so many choices and everything is available. This is an advantage, but also a confusing fact. In the multitude of everything, it is more difficult to single out personal preferences. XD is long-lived because of the recognition of its own xddimension. Actuality, architectural form, quality and consistency are characteristics that are always valid. Value for money as well as the experience of personality recognition that our clients feel.
In Croatia, in Čakovec, Dubrovnik and Opatija. Internationally, you can find XD collections on 5 continents, in 28 countries. All prestigious addresses in famous fashion destinations.
What awaits us in your latest collection?
The spring/summer 2023 collection is guided by the idea of experiencing the sea and all manifestations of the sea spirit. Green-blue-gray colors and recognizable XD asymmetry in shapes. Also, indispensable pieces in the black version of the famous XD expression.
You say that your jewelry is made to measure by art. Can you explain what you mean by that and what is your creative style?
The art has a width in a way that it is not only what we see, hear, read or perceive. It is an entire 'invisible world'. Art is free, beautiful, rebellious, independent, and curious. If we are going to put that all as a measure... then let's start measuring :). Style, individuality, originality or handwriting?! Open the window, and every day there is a different picture in front of you. So it is for me as well.
Your jewelry, in addition to being artistic and beautiful, is above all wearable. What can we find in your assortment? What do you put special emphasis on in your creations?
The jewelry I make includes details from everyday life that may not initially give the impression of something you would adorn yourself with. The emphasis is on the detail that makes you aware of how much beauty there is around us, how much an object can either bring us back or take us to a quite ordinary and yet a good story.
Can you describe the process of creating and making a piece of jewelry and what inspires you in your work?
The process of creating a piece of jewelry is very simple when you do what you love. There is no difficulty or fuss about it. Certainly, some parts of the process are really demanding, but it is important to emphasize that what I do is not a job. This is pure love inspired by absolutely everything that surrounds me. Both beautiful and less beautiful things, but also those things that may be completely lacking in beauty.
In addition to your jewelry, we can often see artists' exhibitions in the Dalia Gallery. Can you tell us more about the art that visitors and customers have the opportunity to see and buy?
Our gallery is a place where, in addition to jewelry, we also exhibit the works of renowned Croatian painters, sculptors, and photographers. Furthermore, we support young artists and students of the Academy of Fine Arts and the Croatian Society of Fine Artists by exhibiting their works. The exhibited works are mainly works of smaller formats intended for sale. Stop by, indulge in extraordinary beauty and reward yourself with some unique jewelry or artwork.

Zagreb has a vibrant and lively market culture. You can find farmers’ and flea markets all year around. Farmers’ markets are open every day and for most locals they serve as a great source of fresh meat, fish, veggies and fruits on a daily or weekly basis. Of course, markets are most crowded on Saturdays, which is the most usual day for visiting. Open daily from 6:30am to about 2pm except on National holidays.
Besides Dolac, you should not miss Sunday’s weekly Antique fair at the British Square, as well as Hrelić, a massive flea market in Jakuševac situated on the outskirts of the city - where you can get literally anything.
Zagreb also offers interesting, small pop-up markets presenting various artists, designers and small manufacturers, giving them a chance to present their work to the wider audience. These markets are great venues to meet designers in person and support small manufacturers. Check our webpage for more info and prior announcements.
