 IZLOŽBA / EXIBITION

William Anthony Savršene nesavršenosti Perfect Imperfections NO galerija u Muzeju suvremene umjetnosti NO Gallery at the Museum of Contemporary Art

R

ijetki su umjetnici koji su od grešaka u crtačkoj tehnici izgradili cijelo svoje stvaralaštvo. Upravo stoga je opus Williama Anthonya, njujorškog umjetnika hrvatskog podrijetla, zanimljiv i poticajan. Kako je započelo? Podučavanje crtanja u umjetničkoj školi dovelo ga je do izgrađivanja vlastitog slikarskog izričaja. Naime, u edukativne je svrhe studentima pokušavao predočiti i ukazati na početničke

 10

slikarske pogreške namjerno ih uveličavajući. Pokazujući kako ne treba crtati koristio je nepravilne, groteskne, predimenzionirane i disproporcijalne ljudske figure.

Rezultat takve didaktičke metode sažeo je u knjizi A New Approach to Figure Painting (Novi pristup crtanju ljudskog tijela), objavljenoj sredinom 60-ih. No, ubrzo je potom u ironiziranju i karikiranju početničkih pokušaja slikanja ljudskog tijela uvidio svojevrsnu estetiku te je

24. 7. - 26. 8. 2014. prigrlio takav satirički tretman i inaugurirao ga u novi slikarski stil kojega je tijekom pedeset godina kontinuiranog umjetničkog djelovanja dosljedno nastavio njegovati.

Anthonyevi radovi, dakle, odlikuju se specifičnim pseudo-naivnim crtačkim pristupom inspiriranim greškama. Inteligentno se služeći takvim „naivnim“ crtežom satirično reinterpretira i komentira ponajprije ikone povijesti umjetnosti,

same umjetnike, ali i povijesne događaje i društvenu svakodnevicu.

Zahvaljujući takvom ironijskom i grotesknom pristupu crtežu u New Yorku je ubrzo dobio niz narudžbi, poput one Andya Warhola za časopis Intreview, a njegovi crteži sabrani su nekoliko knjiga Bible Stories (Biblijske priče), Bill Anthony’s Greatest hits (Najveći hitovi Billa Anthonya) i War is Swell (Rat je sjajan).

Osim u crtežima i slikama, kombinirano crtačku-slikarsku tehniku često popraćenu tekstom u formi stripa, Anthony u obliku svojevrsnih minijatura koristi i u mail art projektu Artstamp.dk – poštanskim markama koje se tiskaju u malom broju primjeraka.

Crteži o temi Drugog svjetskog rata kompilirani su u knjizi pod nazivom War is Swell (Rat je sjajan) uz dodatni ironični podnaslov – A Kid’s Idiotic Vision of WWII (Dječja idiotska vizija Drugog svjetskog rata). Prizori prikazuju povijesnu rekonstrukciju događaja iz Drugog svjetskog rata iz perspektive američkog sedmogodišnjaka.

Anthony oživljava ratne događaje koji su mu kao dječaku bili poznati iz medija – novina, televizije, pisama, stripova. Crteži su iskaz dječaka koji ratne situacije proživljava pun nedvojbene samouvjerenosti u pobjedu „dobrih momaka“ i pritom nimalo ne mari za greške u crtanju. Dječje nespretni i naivni crteži prate duhoviti komentari lišeni emocija i politički korektnog govora. Prizori poput Iskrcavanja u Normandiji, Bitke za Staljingrad, Pakao Pearl Harbora izgledaju kao poprišta dječje igre, prenapučeni su „figuricama“ vojnika raspoređenih u bezbroj malih, nepovezanih okršaja.

Anthony na sličan, satiričan, način pristupa i svijetu umjetnosti. Njegovi radovi u kojima se referira na svijet vizualne kulture vode dijalog s amblematskim djelima – od starih majstora do suvremenih umjetnika, otkrivajući usput njegov smisao za britki humor. Estetika njegovih radova potječe iz pop art pokreta koji je u šezdesetima, u doba kada

je počeo stvarati, u Americi bio u punom zamahu. Povezanost s pop artom i njegovim protagonistima vidljiva je i u autorovu odabiru umjetnika čija djela karikira: Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Richard Hamilton.

Ono što je Hamilton u radu Što današnji dom čini tako različitim, tako privlačnim? prikazao kao ideale masovne kulture američkog društva (kućanski aparati, muškarac atletske građe, privlačna supruga) Anthony pretvara u satiru: otromboljeno tijelo jedookog muškarca koji u ruci drži golemu lizalicu daleko je od idealnog. Dok se žena zabavlja ispred TV ekrana, vani bjesni rat...

Suptilnim humorom i vještom kompozicijom on „prisvaja“ i druga poznata remek djela umjetnika poput Boscha, Redona, Matissa,

Ensora, Muncha, ToulouseLautreca, Picassa, Duchampa, Magrittea, Boccionija, ali i Carolee Schneemann, Chrisa Burdena, Brucea Naumana ili pak Rineke Dijkstra. Ti nam crteži ne otkrivaju samo pomnjivo razrađen rukopis utemeljen na hotimičnim crtačkim pogreškama i nepravilnostima, nego i utjecaje koje crpi iz stilski raznolikih izvora. Primjerice, crtež Zemaljske naslade nastao je, dakako, prema halucinantnoj viziji Vrta zemaljskih naslada Hieronymusa Boscha. Osim prepoznatljivih intervencija preuzetih iz umjetničkog okruženja, poput Warholove konzerve Campbell juhe ili događaja iz bliske povijesti poput oblaka u obliku gljive nastalog nakon bacanja atomske bombe, Anthony u svoju viziju uvodi još nekolicinu protagonista i poznatih simbola.

11 

Upućena publika prepoznat će: Piero Manzoni zadovoljno sjedi na wc-školjci dok „producira“ svoj rad; iz pozadine proviruje glava s velikim okom prema O. Redonu; vjerojatno najrasprostranjeniji simbol „smajlić“ kojeg je dizajnirao Harvey Ball visi s divovske biljke; kubanskoamerička umjetnica Ana Mendieta prikazana je s pločom stakla na grudima; Nabokova Lolita sjedi

s lizalicom i srcolikim naočalama uz zavodnika Humberta; a tu je i štakor s vrećom dolara preuzet s Boschove slike Smrt i bijeda.

Anthony pronalazi nadahnuće i u različitim filmskim referencama, stripovima ili fotografijama upisanima u američku masovnu kulturu. Ukratko, njegovi radovi su oštrouman i izvrnut pogled na svima poznate priče, poput primjerice

William Anthony, američki slikar i crtač, rođen je 1934. godine u Fort Monmouthu u saveznoj državi New Jersey. Kratko je studirao umjetnost kod Josefa Albersa na Yaleu, gdje je 1958. diplomirao europsku povijest.

Studirao je i kod Theodorosa Stamosa na newyorškom Art Students League te na raznim umjetničkim školama u San Franciscu. Živi i radi u New Yorku.

Anthonyjeve crteže objavljivali su Artforum, The Paris Review, Parnassus, Art in America te Andy Warhol u svojem časopisu Interview. Izlagao je diljem Amerike i Europe.

 12

medijske sage o Charlesu Mansonu i njegovim sljedbenicama koji ga prate na suđenju.

Naposljetku, složit ćemo se da su Anthonyevi crteži potpuno neprimjereni i uvrnuti... ali i iznimno duhoviti i neočekivani u svojoj nekorektnosti jer zadiranje u elitističke oaze neupitnih vrijednosti “visoke umjetnosti” jest zabavno!

Radovi mu se nalaze u zbirkama sljedećih muzeja: Denver Art Museum, Fine Arts Museum u San Franciscu, Muzej Solomon R. Guggenheim u New Yorku, Ermitaž u Sankt Peterburgu, Muzej Ludwig u Kölnu, Metropolitan Museum of Art u New Yorku, Muzej suvremene umjetnosti u Chicagu, Muzej suvremene umjetnosti u Zagrebu, Museum of Fine Arts u Houstonu, Muzej moderne umjetnosti u New Yorku, Nacionalna galerija u Reykjaviku, Nacionalna galerija u Pragu, Nacionalni muzej likovne umjetnosti u Oslu, Seattle Art Museum, Smithsonian American Art Museum u Washingtonu, Whitney Museum of American Art u New Yorku itd.

V

ery few artists take advantage of mistakes in the drawing technique as the starting point for their entire work. This is precisely why the work of William Anthony, a New York-based artist of Croatian origin, is interesting and stimulating.

How did it all begin? Teaching drawing in an art school led him to build his own artistic expression.

For educational purposes, he tried to demonstrate and point to beginners’ mistakes in painting to his students by deliberately exaggerating. Wanting to show how not to draw, he used irregular, grotesque, over-dimensional and disproportionate human figures.

He described the result of such a didactic method in his book A New Approach to Figure Painting, published in the mid-1960s.

However, through the use of irony and parody in the first steps in painting a human body he soon noticed a certain aesthetics and embraced such a satirical treatment, turning it into a new painting style which he consistently maintained throughout fifty years of continuous work.

Anthony’s works, therefore, are characterised by a specific pseudonaïve graphic approach inspired by mistakes. The intelligent use of such ‘naïve’ drawing allowed him to satirically reinterpret and comment on the icons of art history, the artists themselves, but also historical events and social daily life.

Thanks to such an ironic and grotesque approach to drawing in New York he soon received a series of commissions, like the one by Andy Warhol for Interview magazine, and his drawings are also gathered

in several books – Bible Stories, Bill Anthony’s Greatest Hits and War is Swell.

In addition to drawings and paintings, in the mail art project Artstamp.dk – stamps printed in small runs – Anthony uses a mixed technique of drawing and painting in a miniature form, often accompanied by text in the form of a comic book.

The drawings inspired by World War II were compiled in a book under the title War is Swell, with the additional ironic subtitle A Kid’s Idiotic Vision of WWII. The scenes depict a historical reconstruction of WWII events from the point of

view of a seven-year-old American.

Anthony re-enacts the wartime events familiar to him, as a boy, from the media – newspapers, television, letters, comic books.

The drawings are the expression of a boy who experiences the war full of undoubted confidence in the ‘good guys’’ victory, without caring one bit for the mistakes in the drawing. Childlike clumsy and naïve drawings are accompanied by humorous comments devoid of emotions and politically correct speech. Scenes like D-Day, Battle of Stalingrad, Pearl Harbor Hell seem like a children’s playground, packed with soldier ‘figurines’ arranged in countless small, unconnected battles.

13 

In a similar, satirical way Anthony approaches the art world too. His works referring to the visual culture world are engaged in a dialogue with emblematic works – from old masters to contemporary artists, revealing at the same time his wry sense of humour. The aesthetics of his works stems from the Pop Art movement, which was in full bloom in the sixties, when he began his creative path. His connection with Pop Art and its protagonists is also evidenced in his choice of artists whose works he caricatures: Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Richard Hamilton.

What Hamilton in his work Just what is it that makes today’s homes so different, so appealing? depicted as the ideals of American society’s mass culture (appliances, athletic man, attractive wife), Anthony turns

into satire: a decrepit body of a oneeyed man holding a giant lollipop in his hand is far from ideal. While a woman is having fun in front of the TV, a war is raging outside…

With subtle humour and skilful composition he ‘appropriates’ other known masterpieces by artists like Bosch, Redon, Matisse, Ensor, Munch, Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso, Duchamp, Magritte, Boccioni, but also Carolee Schneemann, Chris Burden, Bruce Nauman or Rineke Dijkstra. These drawings not only reveal a painstakingly elaborate unique style based on deliberate mistakes and irregularities, but also inspirations drawn from stylistically diverse sources. For instance, his drawing Earthly Delights was, of course, made after Hieronymus Bosch’s hallucinatory vision of The Garden of Earthly Delights.

William Anthony, American painter and draftsman, was born in 1934 in Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. Anthony studied art briefly with Josef Albers at Yale, where he received a B.A. degree in European History in 1958. He also studied with Theodoros Stamos at the Art Students League in New York and at a number of art schools in San Francisco.

He lives and works in New York.

Anthony’s drawings have been commissioned for Artforum, The Paris Review, Parnassus, Art in America, and

by Andy Warhol for his magazine Interview. Anthony has exhibited extensively in America and Europe.

 14

Next to recognisable interventions taken from the art environment, like Warhol’s Campbell soup cans or the events in recent history, like the mushroom cloud made by the atomic bomb, Anthony introduces several other protagonists and famous symbols in his vision.

An informed audience will recognise: Piero Manzoni is pleasantly sitting on the toilet bowl while ‘producing’ his work; a head peeks from the background with a large eye directed to O. Redon; probably the most widespread symbol, a ‘smiley’ designed by Harvey Ball, is hanging from a giant plant; Cuban-American artist Ana Mendieta is shown with a glass pane on her chest; Nabokov’s Lolita is sitting with a lollipop and heart-shaped sunglasses next to Humbert the seducer; and there is also a rat with a bagful of dollars, inspired by Bosch’s painting Death and the Miser.

Anthony also finds inspiration in different cinematic references, comic books or photographs ingrained in American mass culture.

In brief, his works present a keen and twisted view on well-known stories, like the media-based saga of Charles Manson and his disciples following him in the trial.

Finally, we all agree that Anthony’s drawings are completely inappropriate and twisted... but also extremely witty and unexpected in their incorrectness, because challenging the elitist oases of unquestionable values of ‘high art’ is indeed fun!

Anthony’s work is represented in following museum collections: Denver Art Museum, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, NY, Hermitage, St. Petersburg, Ludwig Museum, Cologne, Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, Museum of Contemporary Art, Zagreb, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Museum of Modern Art, NY, National Gallery of Art, Reykjavik, National Gallery, Prague, National Museum of Art, Oslo, Seattle Art Museum, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington DC, Whitney Museum of American Art, NY, etc.

ÐURO JANEKOVIÆ HRVATSKI FOTOGRAF EUROPSKI UMJETNIK Croatian Photographer European Artist

U

utorak 15.srpnja. u Castello Svevo u Bariju otvorena je izložba „Đuro Janeković/ Hrvatski fotograf, europski umjetnik“.

Izložba je realizirana u organizaciji Ministarstva kulture Republike Hrvatske, Veleposlanstva Republike Hrvatske u Italiji, Ministarstva za kulturna dobra i aktivnosti Republike Italije, Muzeja za umjetnost i obrt, Zagreb te tvrtke Present kao nastavak uspješne suradnje hrvatskih i talijanskih partnera ovom izložbom u Rimu u prosincu 2013.

Aurorica i ove izložbe je dr. sc.

Marija Tonković, docentica na Akademiji dramske umjetnosti i donedavno muzejska savjetnica i

voditeljica Zbirke starije fotografije u Muzeju za umjetnost i obrt dok su produkciju u Rimu i u Bariju vodili Alessandro Boscarini i Marco Miglio.

Postoje naznake da će se ova izložba prikazati u još nekoliko talijanskih gradova.

Podsjetimo, Opus Đure Janekovića ( 1912 – 1989 ) donedavno je bio potpuna nepoznanica u korpusu hrvatske fotografije i predstavlja najznačajnije otkriće posljednjih godina koje izuzetno nadopunjava stilsku panoramu tridesetih.

Izložba ostaje otvorena do 15.9.2014.

The Đuro Janeković, Croatian Photographer, European Artist exhibition was opened on Tuesday, 15 July 2014 at the Castello Svevo in Bari (Italy). This stunning exhibition, sponsored by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia, Croatian Embassy in Italy, Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities of the Republic of Italy, Arts and Crafts Museum, Zagreb, and Present Company, is a continuation of the Croatian-Italian cultural relations prospered at the time of the Janeković’s first exhibition held in Rome in December 2013.

This exhibition features the work of Đuro Janeković (1912 – 1989) that has recently been made available to the public for the first time.

These never-before-seen images provide a more comprehensive view of Zagreb in the 1930s.

Science coordinator of the exhibition is Maria Tonković, DSc., Assistant Professor of the Academy of Dramatic Art and until recently the adviser and curator of Arts and Crafts Museum’s old photography collection, and the producers of both the exhibitions are Alessandro Boscarini and MarcoMiglio.

The exhibition will be open until 15 September 2014 and is most likely to be toured around Italy in several cities.

DUBROVNIK SUMMER FESTIVAL’S PHOTOGRAPHERS AND DESIGNERS

Oblikovatelji sjećanja Otvaranje retrospektivne izložbe “Oblikovatelji sjećanja” Povodom svoje 65. obljetnice, Igre u suradnji s Muzejem za umjetnost i obrt otvaraju retrospektivnu izložbu „Oblikovatelji sjećanja – fotografi i dizajneri Dubrovačkih ljetnih igara“ u petak, 11. srpnja u 21.00 sat u atriju palače Sponza.

Tijekom 65 godina postojanja Dubrovačkih ljetnih igara brojni fotografi, od kojih su danas pojedini nezaobilazna imena hrvatske povijesti fotografije, poput Toša Dabca, Đura Griesbacha, Vilka Zubera, Marije Braut, Nenada Gattina, Krešimira Tadića, Slobodana Tadića, Enesa Midžića, Pava Urbana, Ane Opalić, Damila Kalođere i dugih, sustavno su bilježili događanja na Igrama i oko njih dok su istovremeno

Memory Creators Opening of “Memory Creators” art exhibition Regarding it’s 65th anniversary, in partnership with the Museum of Arts and Crafts, the Festival will open a retrospective exhibition under the name of „Memory Creators – photographers and designers of the Dubrovnik Summer Festival“, which will take place on Friday, 11th July at 9 p.m. in the Palace Sponza Atrium.

Over the course of the past 65 years of the Festival, countless photographers, some of which are today’s great names of the Croatian photographic history such as Toše Dabac, Đuro Griesbach, Vilko Zuber, Marija Braut, Nenad Gattin, Krešimir Tadić, Slobodan Tadić, Enes Midžić, Pavo Urban, Ana Opalić, Damil Kalođera and others, have systematically

značajni likovni umjetnici i dizajneri, poput Eda Murtića, Fedora Vaića, Branka Kovačevića, Iva Grbića, Eda Kovačevića, Toma Gusića, Luke Gusića, Borisa Ljubičića, Orsata Frankovića i drugih, kreirali plakate i naslovnice, a neki i cjelokupni vizualni identitet pojedinih godišta Igara.

Iako su im radovi obilno korišteni u brojnim publikacijama, njihovo autorstvo nije isticano.

Osim prisjećanja dosadašnjih festivalskih sezona, Igre svojim suradnicima fotografima i dizajnerima žele odati priznanje pa izložbu prati i katalog s biografijama autora s posebnim naglaskom na njihovoj suradnji s Igrama.

Autorica stručne koncepcije izložbe je profesorica povijesti umjetnosti dr. sc. Marija Tonković, a priprema izložbe trajala je gotovo godinu dana jer je materijal trebalo skupiti iz različitih izvora pošto je arhiv Igara dijelom

marked the Festival’s events, as well as have notable artists and designers, such as Edo Murtić, Fedor Vaić, Branko Kovačević, Ivo Grbić, Edo Kovačević, Tomo Gusić, Luka Gusić, Boris Ljubičić, Orsat Franković and others, who created posters and front pages, even complete visual identities of particular Festival years. Altough their work has been abuntantly used in many publications, their authorship has not been specifically distinguished, until now.

Apart from recalling it’s past seasons, the Festival wishes to honour it’s associated photographers and designers by releasing a catalogue containing the authors’ biographies, which focused on their work with the Festival. Art history profesor dr.sc. Marija Tonković is the author of the exhibitions formal conception.

Preparations for the exhibition lasted an entire year, as the material had to be collected from multiple

Tako se pružila idealna prilika da se prikupljenim materijalom, sada digitalno obrađenim, iz raznih muzeja, arhiva i privatnih izvora, dopuni i rekonstruira Arhiv Dubrovačkih ljetnih igara.

Izložba je ostvarena u organizaciji Dubrovačkih ljetnih igara i Muzeja za umjetnost i obrt iz Zagreba, uz suradnju s Državnim arhivom u Dubrovniku i Hrvatskom radiotelevizijom te podršku Epsona, a pomogle su i druge brojne institucije i pojedinci.

 IZLOŽBA / EXIBITION

Julije Knifer Bez kompromisa No Compromise Muzej suvremene umjetnosti Museum of Contemporary Art

20. 09. - 6. 12. 2014.

U

Muzeju suvremene umjetnosti u pripremi je prva retrospektivna izložba Julija Knifera (Osijek, 1924. – Pariz, 2004.), umjetnika koji je svojim nekonvencionalnim pristupom mediju slikarstva obilježio drugu polovicu 20. stoljeća.

Uz odabir ključnih djela iz fundusa MSU-a, djela na izložbi bit će posuđena iz mnogih privatnih i  18

javnih kolekcija među kojima su i najznačajnije svjetske zbirke moderne i suvremene umjetnosti poput MoMA-e u New Yorku, Centra Georges Pompidou u Parizu, Mamca u Ženevi itd. Neka od tih djela nikada prije nisu bila izložena u Hrvatskoj. Naime, Julije Knifer od početka sedamdesetih do kraja osamdesetih godina često je radio i izlagao u Njemačkoj, a početkom devedesetih odlazi u Francusku

(Séte, Nica) gdje će, nastanivši se u Parizu, boraviti do kraja života.

Osim ranih radova koji su prethodili meandrima, bit će izloženi brojni crteži-skice za slike i murale, dokumentarne fotografije među kojima su i publici manje poznati performansi, kao i njegovi autentični (dnevnički) zapisi koji su samo verbalni nastavak iste misli o ljudskoj egzistenciji utjelovljenoj znakom meandra.

Julije Knifer u svijetu umjetnosti postao je prepoznatljiv po geometrijskoj formi meandra do kojega dolazi početkom šezdesetih godina tragajući za krajnjom redukcijom svih izražajnih elemenata: „U roku od nekoliko mjeseci došao sam takoreći do kraja, to jest do crnobijele slike (koju sam nazvao anti-slikom), do meandra od kojeg se dalje jednostavnije ne može.“ Težeći svođenju izraza na što jednostavnije oblike još za vrijeme studija na Akademiji likovnih umjetnosti u Zagrebu (1951-1957), usvojenim jezikom kubizma od prepoznatljivih motiva iz stvarnosti (pejzaža, portreta) kreće prema posve apstraktnom izrazu.

No, sve ono što će se poslije ponavljati u njegovu radu, navijestio je još prije upisa na akademiju, serijom Autoportreta koji kontinuirano nastaju nekoliko godina za redom (1949-1952) kao svojevrsni dnevnički zapisi.

Krivudava rijeka meandar u likovnoj umjetnosti postala je sinonim vječnog protjecanja života. No, Julije Knifer taj će arhajski simbol dopuniti vlastitim, individualnim tumačenjima, otvarajući najjednostavnijim mogućim, ali krajnjim i suprotstavljenim vizualnim sredstvima složena pitanja o ljudskoj egzistenciji. “Vjerojatno sam svoje posljednje slike već

načinio, a prve možda nisam.”

- rečenica koja se logikom meandra neprestano ponavlja u njegovim zapisima iz 1976, daje nam ključ za ulazak u svijet u kojemu kronologija i kontinuitet nemaju nikakvo značenje.

Kniferov jezik stroge geometrije neprestano je provocirao svrstavanje u različite pravce svjetske poslijeratne umjetnosti (konstruktivizam, minimalizam, primarno slikarstvo) omogućivši mu još od početka šezdesetih godina prošloga stoljeća sudjelovanje na važnim svjetskim izložbama.

Ipak, Kniferovo stvarno duhovno ishodište pripadanje je

neoavangardnoj grupi Gorgona (1959-1966) čiji su članovi polazišta za nekonvencionalno umjetničko djelovanje pronalazili u filozofiji egzistencijalizma, apsurda i zena, stvarajući platformu novim umjetničkim pojavama koje će zaživjeti jedno desetljeće poslije.

Kniferov procesualan, krajnje discipliniran i gotovo asketski pristup „radikalne volje“ do krajnosti će se očitovati u seriji crteža-meandara koje započinje krajem osamdesetih godina kada tragom grafitne olovke mjesecima, do krajnjeg zasićenja prekriva površine papira, upisujući u njih vrijeme vlastita bivanja.

reparations are underway at the Museum of Contemporary Art for the mounting of the first retrospective exhibition of the work of Julije Knifer (Osijek, 1924 – Paris, 2004), an artist whose unconventional approach to the medium of painting marked the second half of the 20th century.

A selection of key works from the MSU’s in-house collection will be joined at the exhibition with works borrowed from numerous private and public collections, including some of the world’s leading collections of modern and contemporary art – New York’s MoMA, Paris’ Centre Georges Pompidou and Geneva’s Mamco among others. Some of these works have never before been shown in Croatia. From the early 1970s to the late 1980s, namely, Julije Knifer often worked and exhibited in Germany, and moved to France in the early 1990s (Sète, Nice) where he would, having settled in Paris, remain the rest of his life. To be exhibited along with his early work

preceding the meander are many drawings/sketches for paintings and murals, documentary photographs – including those of performances less widely known to the broader public, and his authentic (diary) notes – a verbal extension of the contemplation of human existence embodied in the symbol of the meander.

In the art world Julije Knifer is recognised by the geometric form of the meander, which he arrived upon in the early 1960s searching for the utter reduction of all expressive elements: “Within a few months I came, as it were, to the end, that is to a black & white painting (which I referred to as an anti-painting)

IZLOŽBA / EXIBITION 

expression. But everything that would later be reiterated in his work was presaged prior to his enrolment at the Academy in the Self-Portraits series, created in continuity over a number of years (1949–1952) as diary entries of sorts.

– to a meander from which one simply cannot go further.”

Striving to reduce expression to its simplest form early on, during his years of study at Zagreb’s Academy of Fine Arts (1951–1957), in the adopted language of cubism, he moves from recognisable motifs in reality (landscapes, portraits) towards an entirely abstract

In the fine arts the winding meander of the river became a synonym for the eternal flow of life. Julije Knifer would, however, append to this archaic symbol his own, individual interpretations, posing complex questions concerning human existence through the simplest possible, but uttermost and antithetical visual tools. “It is likely that I have already created my final paintings, but the first – perhaps not.” This thought, following the logic of the meander, is incessantly repeated in his notes from 1976, and offers us a key to a world in which chronology and continuity have no meaning.

Knifer’s language of strict geometry constantly provoked classification into diverse trends in post-war art around the world (constructivism, minimalism, primary painting),

opening a window from the early 1960s to his participation in major international exhibitions.

Nevertheless, we find Knifer’s actual spiritual origins in his affiliation with the neo-avant-garde group Gorgona (1959–1966) the members of which found their point of departure for unconventional artistic work in the philosophies of existentialism, absurdism and Zen, creating a platform for the new artistic phenomena that would become a reality a decade later.

Knifer’s processual, utterly disciplined and almost ascetic approach to “radical will” would be expressed in its extremity in a series of meander drawings he began in the late 1980s – for months saturating the surface of paper with the trace of a graphite pencil, inscribing into it the temporal frame of his own existence.

Svojim je sadržajima namijenjena širokom krugu polaznika kojima su, uz seminare za interpretaciju i improvizaciju, u ponudi i radionice koje nisu nužno namijenjene samo orguljašima, već i svim glazbenicima, ali i amaterima.

An unusually large collection of historic organs in Šibenik was the impetus for the establishment of the School: there are 8 of them in the town and 4 in the neighbouring area, while the students can use 9 of them. In addition to seminars for interpretation and improvisation, the school offers workshops which are not necessarily intended only for organists, but to all musicians, musicologists and amateurs.  24

 PUTOVANJA / TRAVEL

Portugal Zemlja na kraju Europe Country at The End of Europe Piše / Written by: Sinisa Viđak

Gdje prestaje kopno

Dolazak u Lisabon

Za Antičke pomorce je prolaz kroz Gibraltarski tjesnac bio put u nepoznato, opasan ulazak u svijet morskih čudovišta koja proždiru pomorce i napadaju njihove brodove.

Iza Herkulovih stupova leže nepoznate zemlje. Tamo zlato svjetluca u koritima rijeka, voće raste kao u rajskom vrtu, mora su bogata ribom, a šume pune veprova, srna i zečeva.

Rijetki Feničani, Kartažani ili Rimljani su svladali strah potpiren jezovitim pričama i otišli u nepoznato.

Tako je bilo nekad davno, a danas sjedim u zrakoplovu na direktnom letu Zagreb – Lisabon.

Radujem se ponovnom dolasku u ovu pitomu zemlju bogate baštine, ukusne hrane, odličnih vina i srdačnih ljudi.

Let traje tri sata. Od rodnog Splita dijeli me točno 2.200 km zračne linije, crte koja prolazi kroz Madrid, Barcelonu i dotiče sjeverne obale Korzike. Zračna luka Aeroporto da Portela nalazi se gotovo u samom gradu, pa prije slijetanja zrakoplov prelazi gradske četvrti. Često sam dolazio ovamo, pa me sada zabavlja promatrati reakcije putnika kojima je ovo očigledno prvi dolazak u Lisabon. U nevjerici gledaju u zgrade, križanja, parkirane automobile, a toliko smo nisko da mogu mahnuti nekom od prolaznika.

Ovo je najprometnija portugalska zračna luka s više od 16 milijuna putnika godišnje, koja je otvorena 1942. tijekom II. svjetskog rata.

Odlazim taksijem do središta grada i četvrti Baixa (izgovara se Baiša).

 40

Narav Portugalaca Neki je duhoviti Portugalac, valjda umoran od turista koji dolaze iz Španjolske očekujući sličnu histeriju, kič i buku napisao grafit ‘Turisti, ako vam je dosadila portugalska tišina otiđite u Španjolsku.’ Ovdje u svakom kutku grada možete pobjeći od buke središnjih gradskih trgova i velikih prometnica, u kavanama i restoranima je tiho, ljudi ne govore glasno i nema glasne glazbe u ugostiteljskim objektima kao u Barceloni, Sevilli ili Valenciji. Ovo je zemlja na krajnjem zapadu Europe, na Pirinejskom poluotoku koju sa sjevera i istoka okružuje Španjolska, a s juga i zapada

Atlantik. Sve ono što se bučno kuha u šarenom europskom loncu gledajući odavde ostaje daleko. Ovdje sunce zalazi u nepoznatim daljinama iza morske pučine i ta je melankonija pronašla put u narav žitelja ove lijepe zemlje. Portugalci su srdačni poput Iraca i pristojni poput Engleza.

Večera i bakalar Vrijeme je za večeru. Očekujem društvo, lokalnu vodičku Ritu s kojom sam tijekom godina suradnje postao prijatelj, te njenog supruga Sergia.

Imamo razlog za slavlje, Rita je u petom mjesecu trudnoće, a takva se vijest odlično slavi uz večeru, vino i razgovor.U Lisabonu nije teško odabrati obrok. Bakalar pripremaju na 365 načina, a na meniju većine restorana pronalazim Bacalhau a bras,

Bacalhau com natas, Bolinhos de Bacalhau, Bacalhau a Gomes de Sa. Uglavnom, već sve kušano i sve su ovo ukusni recepti, no tražim mjesto gdje ću pronaći jedno od dva jela: Bacalhau com Broa ili Bacalhau a Ze do Pipo. Prvi je bakalar s lukom, krumpirom i češnjakom zapečen u košuljici od krušnih mrvica.

Drugi je recept nazvan po čovjeku koji je kuhao u svom restoranu u Portu i proslavio svoj recept (Ze do Pipo). Bakalar se kuha u mlijeku, a potom slaže u slojevima s krumpirom i lukom, pa zapeče i ukrasi maslinama. Pronalazim mjesto i naručujem Bacalhau com Broa.

Ulov bakalara tjerao je portugalske ribare iz portugalskih voda sve dalje na sjever, prema Norveškoj, Islandu, te čak do obala Kanade. Brodovi bi pronašli pogodno lovno mjesto i potom bi ribari u malenim čamcima odlazili u ribolov. Kada bi ulovom napunili čamac vraćali su se prekrcati ribu na brod.

Ponovo su se vraćali s novim ulovom, no u međuvremenu se na brodu posipala sol po ribi. Sol je dehidrirala ribu, pa se nepotrebni vodeni teret slijevao nazad u more. Ovako se puno veća količina ulova mogla uskladištiti na brodu tijekom ribolova, a bakalar je konzerviran solju. Brodovi su se puni usoljene ribe vraćali u portugalske luke. Bakalar je sušen oko tri mjeseca na vjetru, a zaklonjen od sunca. Kako onda tako i danas, iako je sve veći udio uvoznog norveškog bakalara.

Čuvena vina

Panorama Porta

Portugal ima jako dobra vina i najstarije službeno označene vinograde svijeta.

Naime, nakon razornog potresa 1. studenog 1755. ova je bogata država potpuno obnovljena. Potres se i danas smatra najsnažnijim u zabilježenoj ljudskoj povijesti, a devastaciju je potpomogao tsunami, iza kojeg je Lisabon zahvatio požar. Markiz de Pombal, prvi kraljev državni namjesnik, je u vrijeme obnove naredio da se sva vinogorja u Portugalu označe i popišu za državni arhiv. A vinogorja je u Portugalu puno, od rijeke Douro (zlatne rijeke) na sjeveru uz koju

raste grožđe za desertno vino Porto, preko vinograda srednjeg Portugala do slavne regije Alentejo na jugu.

Portugalci koriste naziv vinho tinto (crno vino) i vinho branco (bijelo vino).

No, vrijedi kušati i mlado vino (vinho verde) koje može biti od bijelog ili crnog grožđa. Ipak, moj favorit ostaju crna vina iz regije Alentejo.

Boce boljih vina se i danas u Portugalu, kao i u ostatku svijeta, zatvaraju čepovima od pravog (prirodnog) pluta. Pluto je zapravo kora hrasta plutnjaka koji je samonikao u Portugalu. Odavno su Portugalci naučili koristiti ovaj prirodni materijal, pogotovo za svoju vinsku industriju, a danas ostaju najveći proizvođaći prirodnog pluta na svijetu. Kako sabiranje pluta s hrastova ne bi ugrozilo ove stoljetne ljepotane, skida se samo manji dio kore, a hrast se potom pušta 7-8 godina da se oporavi. Sva su stabla označena i imaju svoj kataloški broj. Često se datum sabiranja kore ispisuje na deblu kako ne bi bilo zabune i preuranjenog ubiranja pluta jer se hrastovi potom znaju sasušiti i propasti.

Kolači nezaboravnih okusa Portugal voli svoju tradiciju.

Po svijetu često jedem slastice prekasnog izgleda, no njihov je okus prosječan. Ovaj trend ‘vanjskog sjaja’ srećom nije zahvatio Portugal.

Ovdje kolači izgledaju kao kod kuće, nezamjetni i obični. No, okus je prava čarolija. Svako mjesto ima svoje recepte i svoj ponos u pripremi slastica. U Lisabonu je najpoznatiji Pasteis de Belem, belemsko pecivo.

Belem je četvrt Lisabona uz rijeku Tejo koja je poznata po reprezentativnim građevinama portugalske metropole. Turisti obilaze crkvu i samostan svetog Jerolima, Spomenik otkrićima, Belemski toranj, i obvezno kušaju Pasteis de Belem.

Košarica od lisnatog tijesta napunjena kremom od vanilije. No, kako pronaći riječi za osjetilnu senzaciju koju ovaj maleni i ukusni kolač izaziva na nepcu?

Pripremaju ga i u ostalim djelovima Portugala, no zovu ga Pasteis de nata.

Nisam odolio ovom kolaču u Portu, Coimbri, Tomaru, Fatimi, Sintri ... zaista je svejedno gdje ga kušate, uvijek je odlično pripremljen.

41 

Od ostalih slastica bogohulno je ne kušati Travessairos de Sintra i Qeijadas de Sintra kada ste u Sintri, čarobnom gradiću prepunom palača i vila, uronjenom u zelenilo Mjesečeve planine. U Aveiru, malenom gradu srednjeg Portugala običaj je uz kavu pojesti Ovos Moles (izgovara se ovoš moleš), kolač od žumanjka.

Porto Kakav bi desert to bio u Portugalu bez čašice Porta, desertnog vina sa sjevera ove zemlje. U gradu Porto, pred ušćem rijeke Douro u Atlantik, nalazi se četvrt Ribeira. Šarena, starinska četvrt uz rijeku, koja je pod zaštitom UNESCO-a. Na nasuprotnoj strani rijeke su vinski podrumi, a formalno ne pripadaju Portu već gradu Vila Nove de Gaia. Tamo se radi vino od grožđa koje se nekad starinskim brodovima (barcos rebelus) dopremalo ovamo.

Danas umjesto tri dana plovidbe niz rijeku, kamioni dovoze grožđe tek tri sata nakon berbe. U podrumima vino sazrijeva u hrastovim bačvama koje se nakon tri uporabe prodaju Škotima za sazrijevanje viskija. Vinova loza koja raste duboko u unutrašnjosti Portugala, uz strme obale Zlatne rijeke, ima korjenje 25 metara u dubinu.

Posebna vrsta kamena koji se nalazi u ovim vinogorjima upija sunčevu toplinu danju i otpušta je noću. Stoga grožđe sazrijeva u specifičnim uvjetima i ima visoku gradaciju šećera. No, vrenje se rano zaustavlja dodavanjem brendija (vinjaka). Time se i dio šećera zadržava u vinu, pa je ono slatkasto.

Dodavanjem vinjaka povisi se udio alkohola, stoga ga vrijedi oprezno Bom Jesus do Monte

 42

Porcija bakalara

piti. Ovisno o duljini odležavanja u hrastovim bačvama vino ima duboko crvenu boju rubina (ruby porto) ili svijetlo smeđu boju pustinjskog pijeska (tawny porto). Posebno je zanimljivo da odležavanjem Porto postaje svijetliji do 50 godina. Oni koji mu odole i čuvaju ga duže, primjetit će da ponovo polagano dobija svoju punu crvenu boju.

Nakon večere pijemo kavu. U Lisabonu se espreso može naručiti dovikujući konobaru Uma cafe por favor. No, pravi će Lisabonac kazati Uma bica por favor (izgovor: uma bika pur favor).

Bica je zapravo skraćenica od natpisa na vrećama kave koji je služio kao upozorenje: Beba Isto Con Acucar (B.I.C.A.). ‘piti ovo sa šećerom’. Ako naručite ‘uma bica’ u Portu, pogledat

će vas mrko, jer sjever i jug ovdje ne gaje velike simpatije jedni prema drugima, a bica je lisabonski slang.

U Portu valja naručiti cimbalino, a u ostatku zemlje jednostavno cafe.

No, uz tople napitke Portugalci često pripovjedaju priču o čaju. Naime, od Indije do Arabije, od Turske, preko Balkana do Portugala čaj je čaj ili šaj.

Portugalci su ga uvozili iz Indije kada je Vasco da Gamma otkrio prekomorski put i zaobišao dvije velike prepreke za trgovinu između Europe i Istoka Sredozemlja: osmansku flotu i papino protežiranje Venecije. Lošiji čaj su Portugalci izvozili, a bolji ostavljali sebi. Na vreće sa čajem za izvoz su ispisivali slovo ‘T’ za transport. U Engleskoj, Francuskoj i Italiji su valjda mislili da je to naziv za uvezenu robu – od tada ga zovu ‘tea’.

Ispred mene je tjedan dana u Portugalu. Započeo je moj posjet ukusnim obrokom i odličnim društvom.

Večer ćemo zaokružiti uz još pokoju čašicu pića i nezaobilazni fado.

Radujem se danima ispred mene, gastronomskim užicima, prekrasnim gradovima i gradićima, prisnoj i domaćinskoj atmosferi na ulicama i u konobama. Radujem se Portugalu – zemlji na kraju europskog kopna koju kada pregazite i stignete do Cabo da Roca (najzapadnije točke Europe) možete ponoviti riječi najvećeg portugalskog pjesnika Luis de Camoesa: Ovo je mjesto gdje prestaje kopno i počinje more.

Where the Land Ends For the Ancient mariners, the passage through the Strait of Gibraltar was a voyage into the unknown, a dive into a dangerous world of sea monsters who devoured sailors and attacked their ships. Beyond the Pillars of Hercules lied the unknown countries where gold was sparkling along riverbeds, fruit trees as abundant as those in the Eden’s Garden, the seas rich in fish, and the woods teeming with wild boars, deer and rabbits.

Very few Phoenicians, Carthaginians and Romans did conquer the fear aroused by grisly stories and go into the unknown. That was long time ago.

Now I am on the direct flight from Zagreb to Lisbon and I am looking forward to a nice peaceful country of rich heritage, delicious food, highquality wines and friendly people.

Batalha

Arrival in Lisbon The flight takes three hours. The distance (air line) from my native town Split to Lisbon is 2200 km through Madrid, Barcelona and touching the northern coasts of Corsica. Lisbon Portela airport (Aeroporto da Portela) is located very close to the capital with planes overflying the town districts rather low. I often fly this route and I find it amusing to observe people’s reactions during landing at Lisbon airport: stunned looks of disbelief as the plane flies so low and so close to the buildings, crossings, parked cars...

Passengers get tempted to wave to a passer-by. This is Portugal’s busiest airport, opened in 1942 during the World War II, with more than 16 million passengers passing through yearly. I am taking a taxi to the city centre, the Baixa district (pronounce bai a).

Portuguese Temper Some witty Portuguese, apparently getting tired of tourists coming from Spain and expecting the same hysteria, kitsch and noise as in Spain, has written graffiti: Tourists, if you get bored of the Portuguese silence, go back to Spain. Here, every corner of the city is teeming with quiet cafés

Čuveni Porto

and restaurants where you can flee to from the rush and noise of busy streets and swarming squares. People here are not loud, and there is no loud music in restaurants as commonly heard in restaurants of Barcelona, Seville and Valencia. This country is at the far west of Europe and on the westernmost point of the Iberian Peninsula, bordering Spain in the north and east, and the Atlantic Ocean in the south-west. Watching from here, the boiling pot in Europe seems so far away. Stunning sunset far beyond the ocean’s horizon is something that gives reasons for the melancholy to rise and find its way to human hearts and souls. The Portuguese people are warm-hearted like the Irish and polite like the English.

Dinner and Dry Salted Cod It’s time for dinner. I am waiting for Rita, the local guide that I have

Pasteis de Belem

become a friend with over the years, and her husband Sergio. We have reason to celebrate. Rita is five months pregnant, and the best way to celebrate good news is a nice dinner with a bottle of good wine. In Lisbon you have no difficulty in deciding what to order. Salted cod is prepared in 365 ways, unavoidably including Bacalhau à Bras, Bacalhau com Natas, Bolinhos de Bacalhau, Bacalhau à Gomes de Sa, tasty cod bacalhau recipes widely available in restaurants across Portugal. No I am trying to find a restaurant where Bacalhau com Broa or Bacalhau à Ze do Pipo is served. The first cod dish is a combination of salted cod, smashed roast potatoes, crunchy cornbread crumbs, onion and garlic, roast capsicum and olives. The second is named after the man who had a restaurant in Porto and made a name for himself with Ze do Pipo.

43 

Salted cod is cooked in milk, then layered with potatoes and onions, baked and decorated with olives.

I have found the restaurant and ordered Bacalhau com Broa.

Cod stock moved north towards Norway, Iceland and the north shore of Canada, and so did the Portuguese fishermen. They used bigger ships to get to the fishing banks and small boats close to shore. They would fill up their small boats with their catch and take it aboard ship. There they would salt the fish and remove excessive water back to the sea. Large quantities would be thus preserved and taken back to Portuguese ports.

Cod was traditionally dried by cold air and wind for about three months.

Tradition is followed faithfully in spite of increasing quantities of imported Norwegian cod.

Famous wines Portugal has very good wines and the oldest officially designated vineyards of the world. After the devastating earthquake in 1755 which is considered the strongest in recorded human history and followed by devastating fire and strong tsunami, Lisbon was completely restored.

At the time of its renewal, Marquis de Pombal, the first royal governor of the state, requested that all the

vineyards in Portugal be marked and listed for the State Archives.

There are many wine-growing areas in Portugal extending from the Douro River (Gold River) in the north and famous for its dessert wine Porto, through the vineyards of central Portugal and down to the famous Alentejo region in the south.

The Portuguese use the name vinho tinto (red wine) and vinho branco (white wine). There is also vinho verde (new wine), made of either white or red grapes. It is also worth trying.

Still my favourite is red wine from the Alentejo region.

High quality wines, in Portugal as well s in the rest of the world, are sealed with natural corks. Cork is a bark tissue stripped from the cork oak tree which grows wild in Portugal.

It’s been long since the Portuguese people learned to use this natural material, particularly in wine industry, and today they are the world’s leading cork producers. This centuries-old handsome cork oak tree is in danger of extinction; hence the bark stripping is limited whereupon the trees are left out for a period of 7-8 years to regenerate.

All the trees are marked and have their own code. Bark stripping dates are often carved on the tree trunk to avoid any confusion or premature harvest that might be harmful to the tree.

Sintra

Unforgettable Cake Taste Portugal loves its traditions. We usually favour nice-looking sweets but very often their taste is fairly average.

Luckily, looking great on the outside is something that people in Portugal has no much regard for. Here, the cakes look as plain and simple as those home-made, but taste great. Every place has its own recipes and people take professional pride in preparing desserts. The most famous Lisbon’s desert is Pasteis de Belem, Belemian pastry. Belem is the district in Lisbon along the Tejo River, known for the buildings of special architectural and historic interest. Most tourists visit the Church and Monastery of St. Jerome, Monument to the Discoveries, Belem Tower, and they unavoidably taste Pasteis de Belem, puffy pastry baskets with vanilla cream. What a sensational taste of this tiny delicious cake! This cake is also prepared in other parts of Portugal under the name of Pasteis de nata. I just couldn’t resist this cake in Porto, Coimbra, Tomar, Fatima, Sintra ... Anywhere you go, it is always gorgeously prepared. If you are in Sintra, a place like no other with fairy-tale palaces and villas, immersed in lush vegetation of the Lunar Mountains, you should taste among other titbits the Travessairos de Sintra and Qeijadas de Sintra. Ovos Moles (pronounce ovo mole ), the egg yolk sweet commonly served with coffee in Aveiro, a small medieval town in central Portugal.

Porto Wine What would the Portuguese dessert be like if not served with a glass of Porto dessert wine!? Ribeira District, the historical centre of Porto and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stretches along the Douro River.

Opposite the river are wine cellars that belong to the town of Villa Nova de Gaia, not to Porto. In the past it took three days for the grapes to be transported by Barcos rebelus old ships from vineyards to these cellars.

Today it takes only three hours by trucks. Wine matures in oak barrels placed in the cellars and after threeyear period of use, these barrels are sold to the Scottish people for whiskey maturation. The vine growing in the interior of Portugal, up the steep banks  44

of the Golden River, have 25-feet deep roots. Particular sort of stone in these vineyards absorbs heat from the sun during the day and releases it at night.

Thus, the grapes ripen in specific conditions and sugar level rises. The fermentation process is stopped early by adding brandy. Some residual sugar remains in the wine and makes it sweet. Fortifying wine with brandy will boost the alcohol content, so we must be very careful with wine drinking.

Depending on the aging period in oak barrels, the wine obtains deep ruby red colour (ruby port) or light brown desert sand (tawny port). It is very interesting that by aging Porto wine obtains lighter colour up to 50 year. If it is aged longer, it will slowly obtain its full red colour again.

After dinner we drink coffee. In Lisbon, you can shout for coffee: Uma bica por favor. But the native Lisbon’s citizen will say Uma bica por favor (pronunciation uma bika pur favor).

Bica actually stands for the inscriptions on the coffee bags that served as a warning: Beba Isto Con Acucar (B.I.C.A.) meaning drink it with sugar. If you ask for uma bica in Porto, they will look daggers at you because north and south here do not show much affection towards each other, and bica is the Lisbon’s slang. If you are in Porto, you should ask for cimbalino, while

Quinta de Regaleira

in the rest of the country just a cafe.

Tea stories always go along with warm drinks. Tea is called čaj or šaj from India to Arabia and from Turkey via the Balkans to Portugal. The Portuguese used to import tea from India when Vasco da Gamma discovered the sea route to India thus avoiding two big obstacles to trade between Europe and East Mediterranean: Ottoman fleet and Pope’s preferential treatment of Venice. The Portuguese people exported low-quality tea and kept that of high quality for themselves. The exporting tea bags were marked with the letter T meaning for transport.

In England, France and Italy people thought it was the name of imported goods and named it tea.

I have a great week ahead in Portugal.

My visit starts with a tasty meal in good company. The evening will be rounded off with few drinks and with unavoidable fado. I am looking forward to the days ahead, culinary delights, beautiful cities and towns, intimate and homely atmosphere in the streets and taverns.

I am looking forward to Portugal, the country at the end of the European continent in which you, after running it over and getting to Cabo da Roca (the westernmost point of Europe), may repeat the words of the greatest 16th century Portuguese poet Luis de Camoes: This is the place where the land ends and the sea begins.

Putovanje u Portugal

prekrasnu zemlju na krajnjem zapadu Europe, nudimo na direktnim letovima za Lisabon.

No, ako bi se naš posjet vezao samo za metropolu Portugala bili bismo zakinuti za spektakularnu ljepotu Porta, Coimbre i Sintre, za šarm Aveira, Guimaraesa, i Batalhe. Od veličanstvene arhitekture nekadašnjeg svjetskog Imperija do čeznutljivog fada; od fantastične hrane do pristupačnih vina; od pristojnih žitelja do suvremenih arhitektonskih čuda. Portugal je zemlja koju turisti zavole, zemlja koja posjetitelja prima kao čovjeka, a ne kao još jednu točkicu u statistici turističkih posjeta.

Polasci kroz jesen 2014. te kroz proljeće 2015.

To get to Portugal, a beautiful country in the far west of Europe, you can embark on one of our direct flights to Lisbon. However, if we were to limit our visit just to the capital of Portugal we would deprive ourselves of the amazing beauty of Porto, Coimbra and Sintra and the charm of Aveiro, Guimarães and Batalha. What Portugal has to offer ranges from the magnificent architecture of the former world Empire to nostalgic fado; from delicious food to affordable wines; from polite inhabitants to modern architectural wonders. Portugal is a country that tourists grow to love, a country that receives visitors as they ought to be received, not as just another number in the statistics.

Tjedan morskih pasa Shark Week

Ekstravagancija morskih pasa po prvi put na dva kanala: Tjedan morskih pasa vraća se na Discovery Channel i Animal Planet s rekordnim brojem premijera

Morski psi zombiji Morski psi mogu doživjeti katatonički šok kad ih se naglo preokrene te se u tom stanju ponašaju poput zombija.

Istraživači su godinama proučavali ovaj fenomen, a najnovija istraživanja napada orki na velike bijele psine dokazuju kako orke na poseban način imobiliziraju morske pse.

Profesionalni ronilac Eli Martinez vjeruje da može dokazati ovu teoriju i postati prvi čovjek koji će izazvati katatonički šok kod velike bijele psine.

25 neobičnih predmeta koje su progutali morski psi

Ovogodišnji Tjedan morskih pasa počinje 25. kolovoza 2014. na Discovery Channelu i Animal Planetu.

Tjedan morskih pasa, televizijski događaj ljeta koji se ne smije propustiti, vraća se na Discovery Channel i Animal Planet 25. kolovoza. Ekstravagancija morskih pasa po prvi puta se prikazuje na dva kanala. Nakon što je prošle godine potukao sve rekorde gledanosti u američkoj povijesti mreže i postao najgledaniji tjedan ikad, s više od 50 milijuna gledatelja, Tjedan morskih pasa 2014 dolazi u Hrvatsku s puno  46

The first ever dual channel shark extravaganza: Shark Week returns to Discovery Channel and Animal Planet with a record number of premiers This Year’s Shark Week Kicks Off From August 25th 2014 on Discovery Channel and Animal Planet.

All new Shark Week, television’s must-see summer event, returns to Discovery Channel and Animal Planet on August 25th, in the first ever dual channel shark extravaganza. After last year breaking all records in the US network history, becoming the most watched week ever (adults, 18-49) and gathering a total number of over 50 million viewers, Shark Week 2014 comes in Croatia with more jawesome action and the biggest number of premiers for the whole week. Shark Week stays on Discovery Channel during August 25th-31st, while fin-atics can continue to watch the shark-infested content in Shark Month throughout September, on Animal Planet.

Viewers hungry for excitement are ready to be all struck by magnificence, menace and mystery within jaw-chomping programs about shark attacks in idyllic vacation destinations, mega-sharks such as Colossus, attack stories told from the perspective of the survivor and many more.

Zombie Sharks Tonic immobility is a catatonic, zombie-like state that can be achieved by flipping sharks upside

down. This shark phenomenon has been studied by scientists for years but a recent spike in orca attacks on great whites suggests orcas have learned a way to immobilize and prey on great whites.

Professional shark diver Eli Martinez hopes to prove this theory by being the first person to induce underwater tonic immobility in a massive great white shark.

Hawaii Paradise Lost Hawaii is thought of as an idyllic vacation destination, but recent spikes in shark attacks are turning these shores into a deadly hot spot.

Hawaiian native and surf legend Kala Alexander knows these waters better than anyone, and he hopes to uncover the reason behind this sudden shark invasion.

Monster Hammerhead Monster Hammerhand explores a legendary hammerhead shark that has been patrolling Florida’s shores for the past 60 years. Now, a team of scientists and anglers look to explore the mystery and find out if the legend could be real.

Air Jaws Natural History producer Jeff Kurr and his team return using incredible new cameras and high tech underwater gadgetry to track down the missing “mega-shark” named Colossus.

Devialet ADH

Nova klasa pojačala A new class of amplifiers

Piše / Written by: Ivor Maleš

Dizajneri, Pierre-Emmanuel Camel i Matthias Moronvalle, obojica prijašnji zaposlenici odjela za razvoj telekomunikacijskog giganta Nortel-a, zaslužni su za revolucionarni koncept pojačala koji je istovremeno izuzetno linearan i visoko efikasan, te koristi prednosti od dva u potpunosti različita koncepta izrade pojačala,  48

klasu A i klasu D. ADH (analogno digitalni hibrid) koncept je nastao iz sna o dizajnu najboljeg pojačala s najvećom iskoristljivošću. ADH koncept je patentiran 2004. godine, a prvi model tvrtke Devialet SAS iz Pariza, D-Premier, je razvijen u razdoblju od 2007. do 2010. godine.

ADH tehnologija ADH (Analogue/Digital Hybrid) tehnologija je kombinacija analognog pojačala A klase male snage s pojačalom D klase vrlo velike snage. Analogno pojačalo A klase je direktno spojeno s zvučnikom, te definira puni raspon napona dok pojačalo D klase omogućava 99% struje potrebne za održavanje tog raspona napona na opterećenju zvučnika.

Svi ulazi se transformiraju u digitalnu domenu, analogni kroz 48 kHz digitalno-analogni konvertor, a digitalni preko 192 kHz upsampliranja. Ovaj 24 bit / 192 kHz audio signal se koristi za dobivanje 300 kHz PWM (pulse with modulation) signala za pojačalo u D klasi. PWM signal određuje amplitudu signala putem relativne „širine“ pulseva u lancu, a „podvučeni“ audio signal je ponovno rekreiran putem filtriranja kroz vrlo linearno pojačalo u A klasi.

Ova opcija modelira ponašanje pojačala na frekvencijama ispod 150 Hz ovisno o modelu zvučnika.

Riječ je o promjenama u fazi ili vremenskoj domeni što znači da je za svaki model zvučnika potrebno mnogo matematičkog modeliranja. Zbog toga je broj modela zvučnika koji je pokriven ovom opcijom trenutno mali, te je riječ od 28 modela zvučnika renomiranih proizvođača kako što su Apertura, Athom, B&W, Elac, Focal, Kef, Magico, Penaudio, Piega, Sonus faber, Vivid audio i Wilson audio.

Kako bi omogućio svojim mušterijama da što bolje iskoriste mogućnosti pojačala Devialet je omogućio korisnicima da glasaju za zvučnike za koje će biti razvijena ova opcija.

Devialet modeli Devialet 120 – ulazni, entry level model, snage 120 W. Nije riječ o potpuno ogoljenom pojačalu, te ima Toslink, Ethernet i USB ulaze, te bežični streaming, ali i samo MM phono ulaz, ograničen broj linijskih ulaza i nema digitalne ili izlaze za subwoofer. Cijena 38.800 kn.

Devialet 200 – snaga 200 W po kanalu, dolazi u malo debljem kućištu od modela 120, s naprednijom verzijom phono ulaza koji ima više mogućnosti za konfiguraciju, digitalnim i izlazima za subwoofer, te AES/EBU digitalnim ulazom. Cijena 53.800 kn.

Devialet 800 – dual mono, top model ukupne snage 800 W po kanalu. Riječ je izvedenici originalnog modela D-Premier iz 2010 godine s debljim i zaobljenijim kućištem od ostalih modela, ljepše dizajniranim daljinskim uređajem i prozorom na vrhu uređaja kojim se dobiva uvid u unutrašnjost komponente.

Pierre-Emmanuel Calmel and Mathias Moronvalle, both former employees of the telecommunications giant Nortel, at the development department, are the designers responsible for the revolutionary concept of an amplifier that is both extremely linear and highly efficient, and which uses the advantages of two completely different concepts in the production of amplifiers, Class A and Class D. The ADH (Analogue Digital Hybrid) concept originated from a dream of designing the best amplifier with the highest efficiency. The ADH concept was patented in 2004 and the first model, D-Premier, of the company Devialet SAS, located in Paris, was developed over a period of 2007-2010.  50

ADH technology The ADH (Analogue Digital Hybrid) technology is a combination of an analogue low-power Class A amplifier and a high-power Class D amplifier. Analogue Class A amplifier is directly connected to the speaker and drives the output voltage, while Class D amplifier provides 99% of the current required to sustain the output voltage. All inputs are converted into a digital domain, the analogue ones with a 48 kHz analogue/digital converter, and the digital ones via 192 kHz upsampling.

This 24 bit/192kHz audio data is used to retrieve 300 kHz PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal for the Class D amplifier. This describes the signal amplitude by the relative “width” of pulses in the chain, the “underlying” audio signal being recovered by filtering through the highly linear Class A amplifier.

of 400 mm), housed in a beautifully finished aluminium case that is polished to a high shine, and have nothing visible on the surface aside from a power switch and an elegant circular display window located on the top of the amplifier. The amplifiers can be positioned on a shelf or mounted on a wall in which case the display window located on the top of the device rotates according to orientation.

The rear of the device where the cable connectors and other components are located is hidden under a removable aluminium panel.

Devialet amplifiers

Apart from a power switch, all other functions are controlled by a state of the art table-top remote control that has the same high-gloss finish as the amplifier and that is dominated by a large volume knob.

In addition to the volume knob, the remote control is capable of input selection, bass roll-off (in 2.1 mode) and phase inversion.

All models of Devialet amplifiers are small in size (width and depth

The Devialet amplifiers operate at very high frequencies, and by

sealing the amplifier in a gap-free and near enough air-free alloy enclosure guarantees the freedom from emissions and interference required for CE compliance and sale in the EU. There’s not even a hole to accommodate an IR eye because the remote control works via an RF signal. Depending on the model, these devices reveal a mix of connections which may be individually configured to accommodate digital (coaxial and optical S/PDIF plus balanced AES/EBU), analogue line-level and even MM/MC phono sources (RIAA equalization is applied in the digital domain using DSP), USB and Ethernet.

Signal processing in the digital domain offers some additional possibilities of improving the efficiency of the amplifiers, such as SAM (Speaker Active Matching).

SAM models the amplifier’s sub150Hz behaviour in accordance to the loudspeaker. This typically involves phase or time domain

changes and also means a lot of loudspeaker matching and mathematical modelling written for each loudspeaker. Consequently, the number of loudspeakers that can benefit from SAM is currently very small; and these are some 28 models of loudspeakers of renowned manufacturers such as Apertura, Athom, B&W, Elac, Focal, Kef, Magico, Penaudio, Piega, Sonus Faber, Vivid Audio and Wilson Audio.

In order to ensure that its users get the most out of their amplifiers, Devialet has enabled them to vote for those speakers that are to benefit from the exclusive SAM technology.

Devialet models Devialet 120 – is the entry level model, delivering 120W per channel.

It’s not exactly ‘stripped down’ (it has Toslink, Ethernet and USB inputs, and wireless streaming), but has an MM-only phono stage, limited analogue inputs but no

digital or subwoofer outputs.

Price 38,800 HRK. Devialet 200 – delivers 200W per channel, comes in slightly thicker case than the 120 model, adds a more advanced and configurable phono stage, digital and subwoofer outputs and an AES/EBU digital input.

Price 53,800 HRK. Devialet 400 – dual mono-blocks 400W per channel, consisting of Devialet 200 Master and a Devialet 200 Slave. Price 98,800 HRK. Devialet 800 – dual mono-blocks 800W per channel. It derives from the original D-Premier model from the year 2010, with a thicker and more curved casing compared to other models, a better designed remote control and a window on the top of the device which gives a glimpse of its internal components.

Silazite i čekate tramvaj …koji kasni… 25 minuta vožnje i tramvaj vas ostavlja na postaji, a vi trčite od ureda.

Prošlo je 08:15... ponovo kasnite na sastanak u 8:00, a niste stigli popiti jutarnju kavu. Ali sutra ćete, radi veće fleksibilnosti, krenuti automobilom, što znači da morate krenuti ranije jer vozite kroz gradsku gužvu …naravno da ne uspijevate pronaći parkirno mjesto i ponovo kasnite …od sutra krećete još ranije.

Tijekom vožnje tramvajem ili autobusom izvadite vaš pametni telefon. Uz pomoć aplikacije, možete vidjeti dostupnost i-ROAD vozila na vašem uobičajenom stajalištu. U Grenoblu postoji oko 30 postaja, što je dovoljno gusta mreža da vas dovede bliže vašem odredištu. Sa svega nekoliko klikova vozilo rezervirate i platite, a uz pomoć druge aplikacije možete vidjeti stanje prometa i javnog prijevoza, tako da možete planirati najbolju rutu za taj dan.

Nearly 70 ultra-compact urban electric vehicles will be provided for self-service car-sharing within the Grenoble.

An innovative individual mobility solution to complement existing public transport.

Toyota to offer nearly 70 ultra-compact urban electric vehicles designed specifically for “last mile” mobility needs.

A self-service car sharing project, also available for one-way trips, managed by a unique centralised IT system based on a system developed by Toyota; administrated and operated in collaboration with partners.

EDF Group to install charging point network across Grenoble-Alpes Métropole and maintain it.

Grenoble, France - The city of Grenoble, the Grenoble-Alpes Métropole2, car-sharing service operator Cité lib, French energy provider Électricité de France (EDF) and Toyota Motor Corporation signed here today a Memorandum of Understanding to begin by the end of 2014 a collaborative zero-emission ultra-compact urban electric vehicle car-sharing project aimed at addressing “last mile” transportation needs for those using public transportation.

EDF will install a charging network within the Grenoble-Alpes Métropole with charging points placed at public transportation stations to enable “last mile” transport and in areas where there is minimal public transportation. The project aims to fulfil the objectives of local public authorities to respond to the increasing need for mobility in the Ecocité area, while reducing car use.

For EDF Group, this project enables the evaluation for the feasibility of this new mobility system that is linked with charging stations and optimized for new urban traffic service. In addition, this project will provide a new IC-card-based personal identification and payment system, linking the charging stations with existing public transportation systems.

For Cité lib, this zero-emission urban car-sharing service will complement its current offering of mainly interurban self-service conventional gasoline and diesel car-sharing solutions.

Toyota plans to supply nearly 70 ultra-compact electric vehicles, including the COMS ultra-compact vehicle produced by Toyota Auto Body, as well as a new vehicle based on the Toyota i-ROAD concept vehicle to be unveiled tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show. These vehicles, with their compact dimensions, have been adapted specifically for urban driving, efficient use of parking spaces, and for “last mile” mobility needs.

Toyota will also provide the One-Mile Mobility Management System, a unique centralized IT management system that will enable users to check location and availability of car-sharing vehicles and book them through smartphones. The system will also allow the fleet operator to optimise vehicle allocation throughout the charging station network.

Kome je potrebna kaciga kad ima zračni jastuk?

Who needs a helmet when you have got an air bag?

Za bicikliste, najbolja kaciga je ona koje nema.

For cyclists, the best helmet may be no helmet at all.

 54

Lista razloga zbog kojih možda ne nosite kacigu - one su vruće, iznerede frizuru, one su masivne - a švedska tvrtka Hövding dodaje još jedan: one zapravo nisu učinkovite.

Srećom, oni imaju rješenje.

Anna Haupt i Terese Alstin studentice industrijskog dizajna na fakultetu Lund 2006. su odlučile da za studentski projekt smisle bolju kacigu. Prva zapreka im je bila da prevladaju estetiku; ljudi (posebice dvije studentice) jednostavno ne vole nositi kacige. Ali njihovim istraživanjem se ustanovilo da tradicionalne plastične i pjenom ispunjene košare dozvoljavaju Gsilu koja dovodi do fatalnih ishoda u alarmno visokom postotku nesreća.

Njihov prodorni dizajn – kaciga na napuhivanje kojoj je okidač pokret štitovi većih dimenzija za glavu i vrat, koji pružaju mekše prizemljenje.

Hövding je ustvari zračni jastuk koji se može obući – izrađen je u suradnji s prizvođačem zračnih jastuka Alva Sweden – i dolazi sa svim tehnološkim čarobnjaštvom

koje imaju slične naprave u automobilima. Ogrlica sadrži senzore pokreta koji su specijalno namješteni na promjene momenata tipičnih kod biciklističkih nesreća.

Ti senzori, koji se napajaju preko USB-a i traju 18 sati, spremni su kada vozač stavi okovratnik.

Kada Hövding otkrije nadolazeću katastrofu, helij iz spremnika napuše kacigu prije nego glava dodirne haubu ili cestu, i čini ju napuhanom nekoliko sekundi u slučaju sekundarnih utjecaja. U neovisnim testovima osiguravateljske tvrtke Folksam, kaciga Hövding se pokazala trostruko učinkovitija od tradicionalnih kaciga.

Ima li ikakvih napomena? Cijena i dostupnost za sada je 299 eura i distribucija samo po Europi, iako ima planova o širenju. Osim toga,

Hövding ne štiti vozača od padajućih objekata, i možda ne može pružiti maksimalni efekt vozačima s izuzetno nezgrapnim frizurama.

Lijepo je znati da možeš opušteno voziti svoj bicikl s vjetrom u kosi.

55 

To the list of reasons you might not wear a bike helmet – they’re hot, they muss your hair, they’re massive – Swedish company Hövding adds one more: they just don’t work that well. Luckily, they have a solution.

 56

In 2006, Lund University industrial design students Anna Haupt and Terese Alstin decided to invent a better helmet as a class project. The first obstacle to overcome was aesthetic; people (notably the two students) simply don’t like to wear helmets. But their research also found that traditional plastic and foam brain buckets allow G-forces that lead to fatalities in an alarmingly high percentage of accidents.

Their breakthrough design – a motion-triggered inflatable helmet – shields a much greater portion of the head and neck, and provides a softer landing.

The Hövding is essentially a wearable airbag – it’s manufactured in collaboration with airbag manufacturer Alva Sweden – and comes with all the technological wizardry found in its car-bound relatives. The collar contains motion sensors that are tuned specifically to the changes in momentum typical of a bike accident. Those sensors, which are charged via USB and good for 18 hours, stand at ready when the rider puts on the collar.

When Hövding detects impending disaster, helium from a cartridge inflates the hood before the head makes contact with windshield or roadway, and keeps it inflated for a few seconds in case of secondary

impacts. In independent tests by insurance company Folksam, the Hövding helmet displayed three times the shock-absorption capacity of traditional helmets.

Are there caveats? Price and availability are issues for now, with a 299-euro sticker and distribution only in Europe, though there are plans for expansion. Additionally, the Hövding does not protect the rider from falling objects, and may not work to maximum effect on riders with exceptionally unwieldy hairstyles.

It’s good to know that you can ride your bike with both peace of mind and wind in the hair.

Animal 360TM sadrži posebne, lako zamjenjive nastavke prikladne za sve površine. Turbo četka s motorom TurboDrive kompatibilna je s dva tipa četkica: tvrde četkice skupljaju prašinu, a meke skupljaju i najsitnije dlake. Vrlo se lako čisti jer se u jednom pokretu može skinuti s uređaja.

Uvijek svježi zrak - sa ili bez vrećice Zoo’o ProAnimal ne hvata se u koštac samo s prljavštinom — moderni filtracijski sustav uklanja i neugodne mirise. Integrirani HEPA filtar čisti ispušni zrak tako da ljudi koji boluju od alergija mogu lakše disati. Kako vrećica ne bi ispuštala neugodne mirise, model usisivača s vrećicom sadrži i integrirani bionički filtar koji na prirodan način uklanja neugodne mirise.

Verzija bez vrećice savršen je izbor za sve koji žele temeljito usisavanje doma bez kupovanja novih vrećica. Spremnik za prašinu može primiti tri litre prljavštine te ga se jednostavno i higijenski može isprati pod tekućom vodom.

Potpuno automatska funkcija samostalnog čišćenja koju ima SensorBaglessTM i koja aktivira sustav SelfClean kada je to potrebno dodatno smanjuje potrebu za održavanjem i jamči visoku razinu protoka zraka, čak i nakon što je usisivač upotrijebljen puno puta.

Who can bring themselves to be cross with a pet if it prefers to settle down in the cosiest places at home, like the carpet, couch and cushions? The extra dirt and hair that gets left behind can be annoying, however - especially as it seems to be drawn to the pholstery and carpets like magic.

After all, it turns cleaning into a tedious and time-consuming chore.

One solution to this hairy problem is the Zoo’o ProAnimal, a vacuum cleaner that has been specially developed to meet the requirements of households with animals.

The vacuum cleaner gets to grips with all the muddy paws and the hair, so pet owners no longer have to settle for lower standards when it comes to cleanliness and hygiene in their own home. Even allergy sufferers, who find animal hair particularly challenging, can breathe easy. The Zoo’o reduces the stress of cleaning at home and makes more time for you to spend with your pets. The Zoo’o ProAnimal is available with a bag as the BSGL5 ZOO, or in a bagless version as the BGS5 ZOO for anyone who has to handle particularly tough dirt at home and would like to avoid having to buy bags.

It preys on dirt - up to 30% faster The Zoo’o ProAnimal really can take on challenges of all shapes and sizes. The intelligent AirTurbo system is extremely thorough and provides optimum cleaning in no time.

With the Animal 360TM nozzle set, you’ll barely miss a hair Animal hairs get everywhere, from carpets to upholstery, parquet and tiles. The Animal 360TM nozzle set features special nozzles for all surfaces that are easy to change. The turbo brush with TurboDrive works with two types of bristles: The hard ones collect the dust, while the soft ones pick up even the finest hairs.

It is also very easy to clean, as it can be removed from the appliance in just one movement.

It loves the fresh air - with or without a bag The Zoo’o ProAnimal doesn’t just get to grips with dirt; the modern filter system also gets rid of unpleasant odours. An integrated HEPA filter cleans the exhaust air so that allergy sufferers can breathe easy. To prevent the bag emitting unpleasant odours, the vacuum cleaner model with the bag also has an integrated Bionic Filter that eliminates odours the natural way.

We’ve also given the bagged version a longer leash.

The bagless version is the perfect choice for anyone who wants thorough vacuuming at home without the need to buy more bags.

The dust container can hold three litres of dirt, and it is simple and hygienic to rinse it out under running water. The fully automatic self-cleaning provided by the SensorBaglessTM, which activates the SelfClean system when required, reduces the need for maintenance even further and ensures a high level of air flow, even after the vacuum cleaner has been used many times.

 Who is the Aqua Maris® Ektoin

The incidence of allergic rhinitis is continuously growing, especially in the developed western countries.

It is characterized by sneezing, itching and nasal discharge, and often manifests itself only as nasal congestion and difficult breathing without other symptoms which a person doesn’t associate with allergies. The cause is not yet fully known. However, changes in diet and lifestyle, as well as increasing pollution and frequent use of drugs, have certainly contributed to the rise in respiratory allergies.

What is ectoin?

Allergic reactions have started to occur earlier and earlier in life, so it is important to protect our children.

Nasal spray Aqua Maris® Ektoin is intended for adults and children from an early age!

A unique innovation

Ectoin is a 100% natural ingredient that is obtained from microorganisms (extremophiles) that live in extremely adverse conditions (temperature, pressure, salinity, UV-radiation).

To protect themselves from these harmful external effects, extremophiles produce ectoin.

Ectoin, similarly, can protect human cells from adverse external influences, such as allergens and irritants.  What effect does ectoin have

on nasal mucosa?

The revolutionary solution of the line Aqua Maris® combines the power of the sea with an innovative substance called ectoin, giving you a complete protection from bothersome allergens and irritants.

Koliko kalorija trebam pojesti dnevno?

How many calories should I eat a day?

Broj kalorija koji je potrebno unijeti u organizam ovisi o nekoliko faktora, uključujući dob, visinu, spol, životne navike i iznad svega sveukupno zdravlje. Fizički aktivnom dvadesetdvogodišnjem muškarcu visokom 1.90 m je razumljivo potrebno više kalorija nego sedamdesetogodišnjakinji koja je visoka 1.60 m.

O

tkriveno je da čak faktori kao primjerice, kako jedete hranu, mogu utjecati na to koliko vam je potrebno unijeti kalorija u organizam. Što dulje žvačete vašu hranu, to vaše tijelo zadržava više kalorija.

Preporučene vrijednosti unosa kalorija variraju diljem svijeta.

U Europi prosječnom muškaracu preporučuje se oko 2 500 kalorija dnevno da mu masa ostane nepromijenjena, do prosječnoj ženi je potrebno oko 2 000 kalorija.

U SAD-u preporučuju 2 700 kalorija dnevno za muškarce i 2 200 za žene.

Prema UN-ovoj Organizaciji za hranu i poljoprivredu prosječna osoba diljem svijeta treba dnevno minimum od oko 1 800 kalorija.

Ljudi se trebaju fokusirati da jedu zdravu i dobro izbalansiranu hranu, nego da precizno broje pojedene kalorije. Ako žele živjeti dulje moraju biti fizički aktivni, i pojesti dnevno pet porcija voća i povrća.

Više od posljednjih dvadeset godina, šećer se dodaje u sve veći broj namirnica koje konzumiramo.

Nažalost, etikete na hrani u SAD-u i Europi ne uključuju podatke koliko je šećera dodano u nju, tako da je za konzumente gotovo nemoguće ustanoviti količinu dodanog šećera u hranu i pića.

Neke činjenice o dnevnom unosu kalorija Navedene su neke ključne točke o dnevnom unosu kalorija.  64

 Preporučeni unos kalorija ovisi

o faktorima kao što su dob, visina, spol, stil života i sveukupno zdravlje.  Što dulje žvačete svoju hranu, više će kalorija vaše tijelo zadržati.  Obilati doručak pomaže u smanjivanju tjelesne težine i njezinom održavanju.  Kada jedemo našu hranu važno je podjednako kao i što jedemo i koliko kalorija pojedemo.  U industrijaliziranim nacijama ljudi konzumiraju više kalorija nego prije.

Porcije su mnogo veće danas.  Da bi ljudsko tijelo ostalo na životu potrebna mu je energija. Prosječno 20% energije koristi metabolizam mozga.  Idealna tjelesna težina ovisi o nekoliko faktora uključujući dob, spol, gustoću kostiju, omjer mišićne mase i sala, te visina.  Nisu sve kalorije jednake, niti su sve dijete jednake. Samo brojanje kalorija i ignoriranje što stavljaš u svoja usta ne mora voditi k dobrom zdravlju.  Riblji/mesni obrok od 500 kalorija, salata, i malo maslinova ulja, voće nakon njega je mnogo bolji za vaše zdravlje i nećete ogladniti dulji period nego da ste pojeli užinu od 500 kalorija od kokica s maslacem ili karamelom.

Pravilno odabrano vrijeme je isto toliko važno kao i količina kalorija koja nam je potrebna

Veličina porcija U industrijaliziranim zemljama ljudi konzumiraju više kalorija nego prije. Veličine porcija u restoranima, bilo da se radi o restoranima brze hrane ili elegantnim mjestima, su mnogo veće danas.

Ljudsko tijelo i korištenje energije Ljudskom tijelu je potrebna energija.

Otprilike 20% energije je potrebno za rad metabolizma mozga.

Većina ostatka energije koja je tijelu potrebna iskorištena su za osnovne potrebe metabolizma – energija koja nam je potrebna dok odmaramo, za funkcije kao što su cirkulacija krvi i disanje.

Koliko efikasno energija iz disanja se pretvara u fizičku (mehaničku) snagu ovisi o vrsti pojedene hrane, kao i o vrsti fizičke energije koja se koristi – ovisno je li se mišići koriste aerobno ili anaerobno.

Pojednostavljeno – potrebne su nam kalorije da bi ostali na životu, čak i kada se ne krećemo.

Koja je idealna tjelesna težina?

Da bi se pravilno držali i kretali potrebna nam je i mehanička energija za naše mišiće.

Idealna tjelesna težina ovisi o nekoliko faktora, uključujući dob, spol, gustoću kostiju, omjer mišićne mase i sala, te visinu.

Omjer opsega struka i visine – novi način određivanja idealne tjelesne težine je vjerojatno najtočniji u današnje vrijeme.

Da postignete ili zadržite idealnu tjelesnu težinu potrebno je vrijednost opsega struka održavati manjim od polovice svoje visine.

Ako ste muškarac visok 183 cm, opseg struka ne smije biti veći od 91 cm. Ako ste žena visine 163 cm, opseg struka ne smije biti veći od 81 cm.

Disanje, ili naročito stanično disanje odnosi se na metabolički proces kojim organizam dobija energiju kada kisik reagira s glukozom u proizvodnji ugljičnog dioksida, vode i ATP energije.

Kako izmjeriti opseg struka?

– prema Svjetskoj zdravstvenoj ogranizaciji (WHO) morate postaviti metar na pola udaljenosti između najdonjeg rebra i vrha zdjelične kosti.

Ako je okruženje u kojem boravimo hladno, naš metabolizam povećava proizvodnju topline da bi zadržao tjelesnu temperaturu stalnom.

Kada smo u toplom okruženju, potrebno nam je manje energije.

Obilat doručak, onaj koji otprilike sadrži 700 kalorija, je idealan za mršavljnje i smanjenje rizika od dijabetesa, bolesti srca i visokog kolesterola. Kada jedemo vjerojatno je podjednako važno kao i što ili koliko kalorija jedemo.

Koja je razlika između kalorija i kilo kalorija?

Znanstveno govoreći, jedna kilokalorija iznosi 1000 kalorija.

Kilokalorija je iznos energije potreban da se temperatura 1 kg vode povisi s 15 na 16 °C pri tlaku od jedne atmosfere.

Internacionalno, većina naroda govori o energiji iz hrane u kJ (kilojoules). 1 kcal = 4.184 kJ 65 

The number of calories you should eat each day depends on several factors, including your age, height, sex, lifestyle, and overall general health.

A physically active 1.80 m male, aged 22 years, requires considerably more calories than a 1.60 m woman in her 70s.

It has been discovered that even factors such as how you eat your food can influence how many calories get into your system. The longer you chew your food, the more calories the body retains.

Recommended daily calorie intakes vary across the world. In Europe the average male adult needs approximately 2 500 calories per day to keep his weight constant, while the average adult female needs 2 000. In US is recommended 2700 calories per day for men and 2 200 for women.

According to the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the average person’s minimum calorie requirement per day globally is approximately 1 800 calories.

People should focus more on eating a healthy and well balanced diet, than precisely counting calories. If they want to live longer they should be physically active, and eat five portion of fruit and vegetable a day.

Over the last twenty years, sugar has been added to a growing number of foods we consume.

Unfortunately, foodlabels in the USA and Europe do not include details on how much added sugar there is, so it is almost impossible for consumers to determine the amount of added sugars in foods and beverages.

Some facts on daily calorie intake Here are some key points about daily calorie intake.

- Recommended calorie intake depends on factors such as age,  66

size, height, sex, lifestyle and overall general health.  The longer you chew your food, the more calories your body retains.  A big breakfast helps bring your weight down or keep it down.  When we eat our food probably matters as much as what and how many calories we eat.  In industrialized nations people are consuming many more calories than they used to. Portion sizes are far greater today.  For the human body to remain alive, it requires energy.

Approximately 20% of the energy we use is for brain metabolism.  Ideal body weight depends on several factors including age, sex, bone density, muscle-fat ratio and height.  Not all calories are the same, not all diets are the same. Simply counting calories, and ignoring what you put in your mouth might not lead to good health.  A 500-calorie meal of fish/meat, salad, and some olive oil, followed

by fruit, is much better for your health and will keep you from being hungry for longer than a 500-calorie snack of popcorn with butter or toffee.

Timing as important as how many calories you should eat A big breakfast, one containing approximately 700 calories, is ideal for losing weight and reducing risk of diabetes, heart disease and high cholesterol.

What is the difference between calories and kilocalories?

Scientifically speaking, one kilocalorie is 1,000 calories.

A kilocalorie is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water from 15° to 16° Celsius (centigrade) at one atmosphere.

Internationally, most nations talk about food energy in kJ (kilojoules).

1 kcal (kilocalorie) = 4.184 kJ.

Portion sizes In industrialized nations people are consuming many more calories than they used to. Portion sizes in restaurants, both fast food ones as well as elegant places, are far greater today

The human body and energy usage For the human body to remain alive, it requires energy.

Approximately 20% of the energy we use is for brain metabolism.

The majority of the rest of the body’s energy requirements are taken up for the basal metabolic requirements - the energy we need when in a resting state, for functions such as the circulation of the blood and breathing.

How efficiently energy from respiration converts into physical (mechanical) power depends on the type of food eaten, as well as what type of physical energy is used - whether muscles are used aerobically or anaerobically.

probably the most accurate one available today.

Put simply - we need calories to stay alive, even if we are not moving.

If you are a 183cm tall adult male, your waist should not exceed 91 cm.

What is ideal body weigh?

If you are a 163 cm tall adult female, your waist should not exceed 81 cm.

Your ideal body weight depends on several factors, including your age, sex, bone density, muscle-fat ratio, and height.

Waist-to-height ratio - this new way of determining ideal body weight is

To achieve and/or maintain your ideal body weight, “Keep your waist circumference to less than half your height.”

How do I measure my waist?

- according to the World Health Organization (WHO), you should place the tape-measure half-way between the lower rib and the the pelvic bone at the hip.

If our environment is cold, our metabolism increases to produce more heat to maintain a constant body temperature. When we are in a warm environment, we require less energy.

We also require mechanical energy for our muscles for posture and moving around.

Respiration, or specifically cellular respiration refers to the metabolic process by which an organism gets energy by reacting oxygen with glucose to produce carbon dioxide, water and ATP energy.

Zdrava koža mladenačkog izgleda Healthy and young looking skin Dermatolozi kažu da je najbolji način da naša koža izgleda mladenački i zdravo izbjegavati izlaganje Sunčevoj svjetlosti i ne pušiti: i osim toga, paziti na čišćenje i umivanje, i redovito hidratiziranje.

Mnogi od nas nisu svjesni da zaštita od Sunca pomaže da naša koža izgleda mlađe, vjerujući da ako se nanosi hidratantna krema, hrani zdravo, pije puno vode i masira lice će biti dovoljno.

Ne samo da izlaganje UV zrakama povećava rizik od raka kože, nego ono utječe na elastin u koži, što dovodi do bora i starenja kože uzrokovanog Suncem.

Kolagen je protein koji pomaže koži održavati njezinu čvrstoću, a smanjuje se s godinama, uzrokujući bore. Pušenjem ova pojava se događa ranije.

Konzumirajući alkohol vaše tijelo i koža mogu postati dehidrirani, te vaša koža može izgledati staro i umorno. Stoga ako konzumirate alkohol popijte i mnogo vode i držite se umjerenih količina.

Uzmite bezalkoholno piće, primjerice mineralnu vodu ili voćni sok između dva alkoholna pića da pomognete u rehidraciji vašeg tijela.

Čistite vašu kožu i koristite hidratantnu kremu

Da se zaštitite od Sunca: izbjegavajte boravak na Suncu za vrijeme najvećeg inteziteta, nosite zaštitnu odjeću i koristite zaštitne filtere.

Žene koje nose make up, a ne skidaju ga prije nego što odu u krevet oštećuju kožu. Čišćenje je važna stavka u njezi kože zato što se njime uklanja nečistoća i bakterije; te je iznimno važno da se vrši nježno. Kad se završi s čišćenjem probajte prilikom sušenja utapkati nešto vlage da ostane na njoj. Hidratizacija je važna zato što štiti kožu od vremenskih utjecaja i isušivanja.

Ne pušite (i ne pretjerujte s alkoholom)

Dovoljno i kvalitetno odspavajte

Od pušenja koža stari, zato što pušenje smanjuje prirodnu elastičnost kože uzrokujući smanjenje razine kolagena i njegovu proizvodnju.

Spavanje je iznimno bitno za zdravu kožu. Bez dovoljno kvalitetnog sna vaša koža će izgledati umorno i starije, s podočnjacima ispod vaših očiju.

Skin experts say that t he best way to keep your skin healthy and looking young is to protect it from the sun and not smoke: and after that, taking care with how you wash and moisturize your skin.

Many of us are unaware that sun protection can keep the skin looking younger, believing instead that applying a daily moisturizer, eating a healthy diet, drinking plenty of water and having facial massages will suffice.

Not only does exposure tu UV increase a risk of skin cancer, it also affects the elastin in the skin, which leads to wrinkles and sun-induced skin ageing.

If you want that your skin looks healthy and young you have to read next tips:

Sun protection To protect yourself from the sun: avoid the sun during high intensity hours, wear protective clothing and use sunscreen.

Don’t smoke (and watch the alcohol) Smoking ages the skin, because smoking reduces the skin’s natural elasticity by promoting the breakdown of collagen and also reducing the amount that is produced. Collagen, a protein that helps skin strenght, gradually degrades with age, leading to wrinkles. Smoking causes this to happen sooner.

Drinking alcohol can make your body and skin dehydrated, leaving the skin looking old and tired. So if you are drinking alkohol drink plenty of water and stick to sensible amounts. Have a non-alcoholic drink like soda water or fruit juice in between the alcoholic ones to help your body rehydrate.

Clean your skin and apply moisturizer Women who wear make up are damaging their skin by not removing it before they go to bed. Cleansing is an important part of skin care because it removes dirt and bacteria; and the key is to do it gently.

When you have finished try to pat your skin dry so some moisture stays on it. Moisturizing is important because it protects the skin from the weather and from drying up and looking dull.

Get enough quality sleep Sleep is essential for healthy skin. Not enough quality sleep will make your skin look tired and older, especially with bags under your eyes.

Dragulji su prezentirani kao da su buketi, s velikim volumenom, isklesani izvanrednom profinjenošću Carrera y Carrera majstora zlatara. Svaki komad predstavlja jednu orhideju.

Ljubavna pjesma se uzdiže s orhideje, prenoseći zavodljivu poruku izuzetne ljepote od osobe koja ju poklanja, poput poezije.

Orhideja predstavlja jedan od najpopularnijih motiva na šalu iz Manile.

Simbol prirode i elegancije, ovaj cvijet je glavna tema ove kolekcije koji čini dio profinjene kolekcije Seda Imperial.

Početkom 19. stoljeća, aristokracija se razlikovala od buržoazije po naročitoj sklonosti prema ovom cvijetu kao simbolu višeg društvenog statusa.

Neprocijenjiva umjetnost izrade zlata gdje malena skulptura predstavlja zvijezdu svakog komada izrađenu od žutog zlata, dijamanata i ispoliranih rubina.

O brendu Carrera y Carrera Carrera y Carrera je španjolska draguljarska tvrtka koja se smatra jednom od najprestižnijih na svijetu.

The Orchid represents one of the most popular floral motifs in Manila shawls.

A symbol of nature and elegance, this flower is the main theme of this collection that forms part of the Seda Imperial Fine Jewelry line.

A love song rises from the orchid, conveying a message of seduction and supreme beauty from the person who gifts it, as if it were poetry.

In the early 19th century, the aristocracy distinguished itself from the bourgeoisie by its particular preference for this flower as a symbol of higher social status.

The jewels are presented as if they were bouquets, with great volume, and sculpted with exquisite delicacy by the Carrera y Carrera master goldsmiths. Each piece is an orchid itself.

Priceless craftsmanship in gold where the mini-sculpture is the star of each piece created in yellow gold, diamonds, and ruby cabochons.  74

Present in over 40 countries, the Company has subsidiaries in the United States, Japan, and Russia, and boutiques in Madrid, Barcelona, Tokyo, Moscow, Dubai, Beijing and Kuala Lumpur, among others.

Marino Orlandi nakon skoro 40 godina povijesti, do dana današnjeg, sa svojom profinjenom torbom, može cijelom svijetu ispričati priču o umijeću izrade, poput talijanske umjetnosti, cijenjene i prepoznatljive.

 82

Iskustvo, strast, ljubav i profinjena posvećenost čine kamen temeljac i karakter ove izvanredne forme kreativnosti koja nikad prije nije bila iskazana. Orlandi utječe na nove trendove finom i vječnom elegancijom koja je oduvijek bila njihov zaštitni znak.

Hvatajući osjećaj riječi i simbola današnjice, uz crteže i boje prirode, Orlandi i njegovi suradnici izražavaju stil tvrtke koju niti mjesto ni vrijeme ne mogu zaustaviti, virtuoznu osnovu čvrste strukture i pedantne ljepote detalja.

Ručno bojana kolekcija počinje ondje gdje priroda i sunčeva zraka prizivaju prošla vremena, zlatne zrake i zimzelene listove, crvenu i ružičastu kaplju u pupoljku cvijeta, zajedno sa smeđom i daškom leda za one što se žele “zamrznuti”.

Marino Orlandi kreacije su načinjene 100% made in Italy, s očaravajućom kombinacijom umjetnosti i mode, s vještinom, kreativnosti i originalnosti ručno izrađenih torbi, putnih torbi i modnih dodataka izrađenih od vrhunsko kvalitetne kože.

Unutrašnjost Marino Orlandi torbi

“Mnoštva boja i materijala koji čine živima gotičke leptire ukrašene raznobojnim prozirnim kristalima: vaš vlastiti “petit-sac yoyaux”.”

ljudi smatraju tako fascinantnom.

Zaista, nakon prvog pogleda, tek dodir što slijedi zapravo pogađa.

Materijali su tako mekani, prizivajući i dizajnirani tako da je svaka torba malo ručno izrađeno remek djelo.

Koža se najprije isprinta, zatim utisne i najzad dovrši s raskošnom pozamanterijom.

Izrada vanjštine daje torbi 3D efekt.

Ustvari, kolekcije imaju mnogobrojna tkanja raznih boja, aplikacije od raznovrsnih materijala, umetke, perforacije i kaskade obojanih prozirnih kristala Swarovski.

“A myriad of colours and materials that bring life to gothic butterflies that are all hand-inlaid with transparent and multicoloured crystals: your own “petit-sac yoyaux.”

“Bezbrižan, intrigantan i eklektičan, uvijek odan pratilac u avanturama ili običnim izlascima.”

 84

“Carefree, intriguing and eclectic, always a faithful companion for adventures or simply going out.”

Experience, passion, love and profound dedication constitute the corner-stone and character of this outstanding form of creativity which has never been expressed before.

Orlandi influences new trends with the refined and eternal elegance that always been its hallmark.

“Kutija snova i iznenađenja, profinjeno i precizno izrađena.

Izabrana od najboljih konstrukcijskih komponenti, s jedinstvenim i stilskim detaljima.”

“Caskets of dreams and surprises, crafted with refined and precise workmanship,chosen from the best construction components, with unique and stylish details.”

By capturing sensations from the words and symbols of the present, along with drawings and colours of nature, marino orlandi and his staff exalt the company style where neither place nor time can halt the virtuous essence of a solid structure and meticulous grace in the details.

The hand painted collection starts here, where nature and sunbeam come back to life past times, golden rays and evergreen leaves, red and pink drops in flowerbuds, along with brown and a sting of ice for those who want to ‘freeze’.

Marino Orlandi, creations 100% made in italy with stunning combination of art and fashion with the skill, the creativity and the originality of hand-made bags, suitcases and accessories in top quality leathers. It is the exteriors of marino orlandi’s models that people find so fascinating. Indeed, following the first visual impact, one is particulary struck by the feel. The materials are soft,inviting and designed so that each bag is a small handmade masterpiece.

Thus leather is first printed then inlaid and finally finished withopulent trimmings.

The processing of the exteriors gives the bags a unique 3d effect. In fact the collections have multicoloured interweaves , appliques in different materials, inlays, perforations and cascades of transparent and coloured crystals real swarovsky.

85 

“Žena koja nosi Marino Orlandi uvijek je stajala iza svoga ukusa i otmjenosti, te ova linija predstavlja predvodnika čitave kolekcije.”

“The MO woman has always stood out for her taste and refinement and this line is the flagship for the entire collection.”

Konstantin Grcic

“Istina je, dizajn je neophodan.”

“The truth is, design is indispensable.”

Još kao dijete, Konstantin Grcic je volio graditi stvari. Nakon srednje škole, počeo je raditi kod restauratora antiknog namještaja, a onda je otkrio da nešto voli više i od gradnje: dizajniranje. Otišao je na Royal College u London, gdje otkriva svoju istinsku strast - dizajniranje namještaja.  88

Otkako je osnovao vlastitu tvrtku Konstantin Grcic Industrial Design (KGID) u Münchenu 1991., dizajnira namještaj, proizvode i svjetlosna tijela za vodeće tvrtke na području dizajna. Njegov rad karakteriziraju logično promišljeni procesi, istinski materijali i poštovanje prema metodama proizvodnje. To je razlog zbog čega je lista klijenata impresivna, a

čine ju: Authentics, Flos, Iittala, Krups, Lamy, Magis, Moroso, Muji, Plank i Vitra, između ostalih.

Njegova suradnja s Magis je dovela do kreacije jedne od najinteresantnije i inovativne sjedalice ikada napravljene: Chair_One. To je bio jedan od prvih puta kada je Grcic koristio računalno 3-D modeliranje.

Četiri godine proizvodnje je bilo potrebno da sjedalica Chair_One postane ikona dizajna, a sada boravi u stalnom postavu mnogih prestižnih muzeja uključujući MoMA u New Yorku, Centre Georges Pompidou u Parizu, zajedno s ostalim Grcicevim djelima, kao što je lampa Mayday, proizvedena za Flos 1999. godine.

Grcic se osjeća vrlo sretnim što strastveno radi nešto što voli.“Neki ljudi smatraju da je dizajn isključivo zabava, ali to nije istina,“ on tvrdi. „To je težak, ozbiljan posao. Ne smiješ misliti samo o objektu koji dizajniraš, nego i sve ostalo o njemu, od toga kako će se izraditi, tko će ga koristiti, do toga što će se dogoditi s njim nakon njegovog životnog vijeka. Dakle, dizajniranje predstavlja veliku odgovornost. I vjerujem da ga možeš raditi dobro samo ako uživaš u njemu.“ Grcic je rođen 1965. u Münchenu, i njegova dječačka opsesija je bila: razdvajanje predmeta na dijelove i pokušaji ponovnog spajanja, da pokušam razumjeti kako su napravljeni. Naravno, sve moje igračke – volio sam sve s kotačima – su bile razbijene zato što ih nisam mogao ponovno spojiti. Mislim da su to bili nesvjesni pokušaji dizajniranja.

Njegov automobil iz snova je: kliše, Porsche 993. Naročito onaj metalik sivi čija unutrašnjost je izrađena iz crne kože.“ Najveća strast danas je: bicikli, naročito s malenim kotačima. Imam jedan stari Moulton s takozvanim „F“ okvirom. Alexanderov Moultonov dizajn ( iz 60-tih) je bio jedan od prvih modernih bicikla s prednjim i stražnjim ovjesom.“ Najljepše dizajnirani prostor na svijetu: Loos American Bar u Beču kojeg je dizajnirao Adolf Loos. Dizajniran do posljednjeg detalja od materijala koji odolijevaju vremenu. Prostor je vrlo malen, tako da je Loos trebao biti jako učinkovit.

Izgleda kao upravljačka ploča kod koje je sve na mjestu.

89 

Najutjecajnije iskustvo: praksa kao stolar u školi John Makepeacea u Dorsetu u Engleskoj. Razvijao sam stav o kvaliteti i logiku kako su stvari načinjene.

Najvrijednija stvar u kućanstvu: televizor Jim Nature kojeg je dizajnirao Philippe Stark 1994. za francuski brend Saba. Izrađen je od ukalupljene iverice. Volim njegov radikalni izgled. Kada ga je dizajnirao, nije bilo Interneta i televizija je bila pogled u svijet.

Današnji najpodcijenjeniji dizajner je: Philippe Stark. Da, on je izrazito popularan. On je vjerojatno jedan od najproduktivnijih i najuspješnijih, ali u dizajnerskim diskusijama, on nije jako cijenjen.

To je kao kada ljudi misle da je Madonna loša zato što ona samo proizvodi hitove. Smatram to vrlo razočaravajućim.

Najbolja dekada za dizajn je bila: 60-te godine. Mislim da je tada (dizajn) započeo preuzimati svoju vlastitu ulogu. Nakon rata, u 50tima, dizajn se bavio renoviranjem

 90

svega. Ali u 60-tima, koncepti, ideje i tehnologija su postali napredniji, radikalniji.“ Njegov najljepši primjerak dizajna 60-tih: Fender Telecaster električna gitara. Ona je bila jedna od prvih industrijski proizvedenih muzičkih instrumenata.

Najbolji savjet koji je dobio: od učitelja koji je kazao: „Dobar dizajn može se napraviti preko telefona.“ Dobra ideja se može razmijeniti riječima. Njoj ne treba crtanje – ona je proces dijaloga.

Ako je ideja dovoljno dobra, ona će postati dobar proizvod.“ Najvažniji element sobe je: pogled.

Soba s pogledom je savršena.

Njegov najdraži dizajn website: Geoffov Mansughov BLDGBLOG. Moram priznati da pratim i Dezeen, također.

Najdraža knjiga o dizajnu: „Dobra knjiga“ Johna Körmelinga.

On je nizozemski arhitekt. To je čudna knjiga o njegovom radu.

Slogan u dizajnu: „Ne volim lažno, i ne volim retro, što je trenutačno jako prisutno. Stvari se mijenjaju, i ne znamo kamo će nas odnijeti.

Oslanjamo se na prošlost koja nam daje osjećaj lažne sigurnosti.“ Da nije stvar u novcu, potrošili bi ga: na Franco Albini stol od Poggija, fantastičan komad namještaja.

Najprecijenjeniji trend u dizajnu je: mladi talentirani ljudi misle da sve mogu sami. Ideja koja je prisutna zbog Interneta i 3D printanja da mogu dizajnirati, proizvesti i distribuirati sami svoje proizvode. To je razlog zbog čega se može vidjeti mnogo različitih malenih stvari: držače za jaja, sjenila za lampe, zdjele za voće.

Interesantno je na različite načine, ali ja sam sumnjičav.

Najčešća pogreška koju ljudi čine je: misle da dizaj poskupljuje i čini stvari skupima. Čujem to s obje strane, i kupaca i proizvođača.

Istina je, dizajn je neophodan.

As a child, Konstantin Grcic loved building things.

After high school, he began working for an antique furniture restorer, and than he discovered something he liked even better than building: designing. He then went to the Royal College of Art in London, where he found his true passion - designing furniture.

Since setting up his own practice Konstantin Grcic Industrial Design (KGID) in Munich in 1991, he has designed furniture, products and lighting for some of the leading companies in the design field.

His work is known for its logical thought process, honesty of materials and respect for production methods. That is why the client list is impressive, and is made of: Authentics, Flos, Iittala, Krups, Lamy, Magis, Moroso, Muji, Plank and Vitra, among others.

His partnership with Magis led to one of the most interesting and inventive chairs ever created: Chair_One. It was also one of the first times he used 3-D computer modeling.

the permanent collections of many prestigious museums including MoMA in New York and Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, along with other Grcic pieces, such as his Mayday Lamp, produced for Flos in 1999.

Four years in the making, Chair_One went on to become a design icon and now resides in

Grcic feels very fortunate to be doing something he loves so passionately. “Some people today

think design is all about having fun, but that’s not true,” he states. “It’s hard work, serious work. You have to think not only about the object you’re designing, but everything else about it, from how it will be produced to who will be using it, to what happens to it after it goes through its life cycle. So designing is big responsibility. And I believe you can only do it well if you truly enjoy it.”

91 

Grcic was born in 1965 in Munich, and his childhood obsession was: taking things apart and trying to put them together again, to understand how things were made.

Of course, all of my toys - I loved anything with wheels - wound up broken because I couldn’t put them together again. I think these were unconscious design exercises.

His dream car is: a cliché, the Porsche 993. Specifically one in silver with a black leather interior.“ His greatest passion today is: bicycles, specifically small-wheeled ones. I have an old Moulton with its so-called “F” frame. The [circa 1960s] design by Alexander Moulton is one of the first modern bikes with front and rear suspension.

The world’s most beautifully designed space is: the Loos American Bar in Vienna by Adolf Loos. It’s designed down to the last detail with materials that have aged well. The space is very small, so Loos had to be extremely efficient.

It’s like a cockpit where everything is in the right place.

 92

Most formative design experience was: training as a cabinetmaker at the John Makepeace School in Dorset, England. It was about developing an attitude about quality and the logic of how things are made.

Most treasured household object is: a “Jim Nature” television designed by Philippe Starck in 1994 for the French brand Saba. It’s made from molded chipboard. I like how radical it is. When he designed it, there was no Internet and television was the window to the world.

Today’s most underrated designer is: Philippe Starck.

Yes, he’s extremely popular. He’s probably one of the most prolific and successful, but, in the design discussion, he is not highly rated. It’s like when people think Madonna is bad because she only produced hits.

I find that very disappointing.

The best decade for design was: the 1960s. I think that’s when it really started to define its own role.

After the war, in the 1950s, design was still about renewing everything.

But in the 1960s, the concepts, the ideas and technology became more advanced. More radical.

His favorite example of ‘60s design is: the Fender Telecaster electric guitar. It was one of the first industrially produced musical instruments.

The best piece of advice he ever received was: from a teacher who said, “Good design can be done over the phone.” A strong idea can be communicated in words.

It doesn’t need drawings—it’s a process of dialogue. If the idea is strong enough, it will turn into a good product.

The most important element of a room is: the view. A room with one is perfect.

His favorite design website is: BLDGBLOG by Geoff Manaugh. I have to admit, I follow Dezeen, too.

Favorite design tome is: “A Good Book,” by John Körmeling. He’s a Dutch architect. It’s a strange book about his own work.

Design slogan: „I don’t like fake, and I don’t like retro. And there’s a lot of both at the moment. Things are changing, and we don’t know where it’s taking us. We’re hanging on to the past and it’s giving us a false sense of security.“ If money were no object, he would spend it on: a 1958 Franco Albini desk by Poggi.

It’s a fantastic piece.

The most overrated design trend is: young talents’ belief that they can do everything themselves.

There’s this idea that just because of the Internet and 3-D printing they can design, produce and distribute their own products. That’s why we’re seeing a lot of small things: egg cups, lampshades, fruit bowls. It’s interesting in many ways, but I’m a little bit suspicious.

The most common mistake people make is: thinking that design adds costs and makes things expensive. I hear this from both sides, both consumers and manufacturers. The truth is, design is indispensable.

PROSTORIA

Priča vaše sobe A story behind your room

Prostoria je izvorno osnovana 2010., pod nazivom “Kvadra” te od samog početka blisko surađuje s mladim dizajnerima kako bi stvorili jedinstven i dobro promišljen suvremeni namještaj.

Svjež i inovativan dizajn, korištenje kvalitetnih materijala te perfekcionizam u izvedbi su prepoznati od strane struke te su nagrađeni prestižnim nagradama:  Red Dot Award winner 2012 - Revolve, Numen/ForUse  Interior Innovation

Award winner 2014 - Polygon, Numen/ForUse  Interior Innovation

Award winner 2014 - Up-lift, Redesign Kupci su također prepoznali kvalitetu dizajna i izvedbe, kako klasičnih sjedećih garnitura tako i inovativnih modela kao što su Up-lift i Revolve koji imaju vrlo inteligentan način transformacije iz sofe u krevet, a njihovo zadovoljstvo jamči dugoročnu vjernost.

Proteklih 15 godina Hrvatska je postala jedna od omiljenih ljetnih destinacija turista sa svih krajeva svijeta.

Zbog prekrasnih plaža, kristalno čistog mora, mediteranske hrane te izravnih i dobro raspoloženih ljudi, turisti se vraćaju u Hrvatsku, a svake godine sve više njih otkriva arhitektonsku raznolikost Zagreba i ostatka kontinentalne hrvatske.

Baš tu mediteransku senzualnost u paru s kontinentalnom racionalnošću izravno iz Zagreba u domove i urede diljem svijeta donosi Prostoria.

Danas je Prostoria moderan brend s tehnološki naprednom tvornicom, profesionalnim i stručnim osobljem, gdje se estetici pristupa kao osnovnoj ljudskoj potrebi, a pozitivne reakcije korisnika daju im snagu i strast da nastave raditi ono što vole – Budu kreativni i izrađuju prekrasan namještaj!

Povijest Prostorie započela je u 2010. godini dizajniranjem ojastučenog namještaja kojim obogaćuju iskustvo življenja u našem domu. Sami počeci vode od proizvodnih pogona nedaleko od Zagreba gdje se susreću znanje i tehnologija. Međutim, prije svega inspirirani su svakodnevnim životom i našim pričama, što se potom odražava u njihovom dizajnu.

Vizija Vodi ih strast za kreiranjem kvalitetnog ojastučenog namještaja koji obogaćuju svakodnevni život.

Iz tog razloga forma njihovih proizvoda prati njihovu funkciju, a estetiku smatraju osnovnom ljudskom potrebom. U tom procesu nisu zaboravili ni na razumne cijene kako bi proizvodi bili dostupni što većem broju ljudi.

Ciljevi Žele ostvariti kvalitetan i dugoročan poslovni rast na etički, odgovoran i održiv način. Cilj im je isticati te vrijednosti kroz njihove proizvode za dugoročno korištenje. Dok istražuju, dizajniraju, razvijaju proizvode i komuniciraju, na umu imaju iskustva svojih korisnika.

U Prostori-i, ljudi dizajniraju za ljude, istražuju, razmjenjuju ideje i znanje kombinirajući tehnologiju i materijale – sve to kako bi izrazili svoje nasljeđe i strast prema stvaranju dobrih proizvoda.

Filozofija Oblikuje ih bogatstvo kontrasta - mediteranska senzibilnost i kontinentalna racionalnost susreću se u njihovom identitetu.

Svi uživamo razmjenjivati priče dok sjedimo na toplim stijenama uz more, u otvorenim prostorima, poslovnim salonima, planinskim kolibama, te osobito u dnevnim boravcima koji su prava osobna utočišta. Naši urbani prostori stanovanja često su mali i simbolično odražavaju sve prisutniji nedostatak vremena, iako smo iz toga naučili izvući maksimum i pronaći vrijeme za druženje s obitelji i prijateljima. Jer, na kraju se ipak uvijek sjećamo gdje smo točno sjedili i koliko smo udobno spavali u onim trenucima kada su se odvijale naše osobne priče.

Sofe su „tableti“ naše osobne povijesti. I zato je dijelite, za vrijeme sjedenja i spavanja, jer i spavanje je važan dio življenja.

Oblique stolići dolaze u 3 veličine i dvije boje ploče od lakiranog medijapana. Noge, proizvedene iz masivne hrastovine i premazane visokokvalitetnim uljem, se triangulacijom stanjuju prema podu i daju stolićima potpunu eleganciju, jednostavnost i lakoću te su idealan dodatak fotelji Oblique.

Osnova sistema je karakteristični profil fotelje koji, definiran dvjema trokutnim prizmama, osigurava najveće debljine pjene na stražnjoj strani sjedala i lumbalnoj zoni naslona.

Konstruktivni furnirski otpresak svinut oko dvije osi, presvučen je zajedno sa spužvom što rezultira sjedinjenom pulsirajućom formom.

Over the past 15 years Croatia has become one of the favourite summer destinations of tourists from all over the world.

Due to its beautiful beaches, crystal clear sea, Mediterranean food, and outspoken and cheerful people, tourists are returning to Croatia.

Every year, more and more visitors reveal the architectural diversity of Zagreb and the rest of continental Croatia.

The Mediterranean sensibility paired with continental rationality is the very thing that Prostoria brings directly from Zagreb into the homes and offices around the world.

Prostoria was originally founded in 2010 under the name of “Kvadra” and has been working closely with young designers to create unique and well-thought-out contemporary furniture since its very inception.

Fresh and innovative design, the use of quality materials and perfectionism have been recognized by the profession and have won them prestigious prizes:  Red Dot Award winner 2012 - Revolve, Numen/ForUse  Interior Innovation Award winner

2014 - Polygon, Numen/ForUse  Interior Innovation Award winner

2014 - Up-lift, Redesign

We believe that long-term loyalty is guaranteed by customer satisfaction and our customers have recognized the quality of design and craftsmanship of conventional seating as well as of innovative models such as the Up-lift and Revolve that have a very clever way of transforming from sofa to bed.

Today, Prostoria is a modern brand that uses advanced technologies in manufacturing, has a professional and skilled staff, and considers aesthetic to be a basic human need. Positive customer reviews have given them strength and motivation to continue doing what they love – to be creative and make beautiful furniture!

The Oblique tables The Oblique armchair The structure is based on a distinctive profile of the armchair which, defined by two triangular prisms, ensures maximum thickness of foam on the back of the seat and the lumbar area of the backrest. Pressure moulded veneer shell is bent around two axis and is

upholstered together with the foam, resulting in a unified pulsating form.

As a result of triangulation, the solid oak legs become thinner towards the bottom, thus transforming the square cross-section at the top of the legs into a triangle one at the base.

The Oblique tables come in three sizes and the lacquered MDF table tops come in two colours. Solid oak legs finished with high-quality oil, by means of triangulation, become thinner towards the bottom giving the tables a look of elegance, simplicity and lightness and making them an ideal addition to the Oblique armchair.

97 

The story of Prostoria began in 2010 with the design of upholstered furniture which enriches home living experience. The very beginning takes us to a manufacturing plant near Zagreb, where knowledge and technology meet.
