My new exclusive interior studio is in the heart of Tuzla, directly opposite and the vegetable market. The studio’s original style reflects a symbiosis between East and West, Orient and Occident, Balkans and Western Europe, taste and no taste, interesting and boring. Visit only possible with an appointment. You’re welcome.
Nowadays it is not easy to be an interior designer. I usually never like the ideas and wishes of my customers. But that doesn’t mean I don’t listen to my them. Because in every boring idea there can also be a potentially interesting project. So you’re probably wondering how he can be so successful? Well, my goal has never been to satisfy the customer or just to fulfill a service. For me, the encouragement and development of my personal creativity comes first.
Tuzla it’s not just any Bosnian city for me. Before the Bosnian civil war Tuzla was actually my real hometown. This is where I started school, this is where my parents studied and met. This is where my family and relatives actually are coming from. However, with the outbreak of the bloody war and the beginning of the collapse of Yugoslavia, we were forced to leave Tuzla. Now we’re scattered all over the world. But no one lives in Tuzla anymore.
I’ve never really formed an emotional bond with this city because I was way too young when we left. But I always had the desire to come back, simply because Tuzla could have stayed (theoretically) my home. With the opening of my interior studio, which of course shouldn’t be taken too seriously, is an attempt to remedy this “what if” situation for me.I just had this desire to be a part of this city like nothing ever happened. Like I've always been a resident of this town… with an interior store.
Tuzla is an important cultural and economic center in north-eastern Bosnia. Located in a valley of the Majevica Mountains, it is surrounded by dense forests and nestled along the Jala River. The city is characterized by Ottoman, Western and Eastern European influences. The city’s name derives from the word Tuz, which means salt in Turkish, since Tuzla is situated on one of the largest underground salt deposits in Europe. Accordingly, the processing of salt is still one of the most important economic sectors in the city.

Project that questions Europe’s resurfacing fears of multiculturalism. Inspired by the 25th anniversary of the Olympic Games.
I drove by car from Bosnia & Herzegovina to Kärsämäki, a sleepy little town in central Finland, to open my own fashion store and sell clothes to no one.
From 2014 to 2018 I was part of the Vienna-based artist collective Yhy Fhm.
