A successful trip to Scandinavia for Croatian designers.
Grupa Studio, a Croatian design studio which deals with product design and manufactures products under its own brand name "Grupa Products", took part at a fair in Denmark last week and has achieved a remarkable success. They have returned to Croatia with many orders and even one exclusive contract, reports Poslovni.hr on January 19, 2016.
"We were supposed to take part at the Maison et Objet Fair in Paris, but after recent unfortunate events in that city, we have decided to cancel our participation for safety reasons. As an alternative, we decided to take part at a very interesting Northmodern Fair in Copenhagen. Although the fair was already full, at the last minute one of the exhibitors cancelled their participation so we managed to take their place. We had chosen the products ourselves and presented all of the current Grupa Products, as well as new products which we have prepared for this year, including the DOT table, white and black ILI ILI lamps, and white Arigato collection", explain Grupa Studio representatives and add that, since no prizes were given at the fair, their primary goal was to present their work to international audiences.
Northmodern Fair presents a selection of the best of modern Scandinavian design, and Grupa Studio was the only exhibitor from Croatia and this part of Europe. "Excellent comments and praise for our designs are something that we have heard a lot during the time we spent there. That resulted in sighing of an exclusive contract with a major distributor in Scandinavia, a company called Lampefeber, which will represent us in the future in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland and even Greenland", say Grupa Studio representatives. That just confirms that the design and quality of Croatian products is at a level which meets the requirements of even the most demanding customers, such as those from Scandinavia.
The creative part of Grupa Studio includes designers Ivana Pavić, Tihana Taraba and Filip Despot, who regularly take part in national and international exhibitions, and their works have been presented in numerous international and Croatian publications. They have also won many awards and honours.
