Umomoku
outdoor furniture,2016
The outdoor furniture system Umomoku represents a refined typological advancement in the already well-known genre. It is designed with the idea of building upon the project methods developed for the Mulini Beach and a series of neighboring projects (Hotel Lone, Lone Outdoor Pools). The Root/BoRoot lighting fixtures were originally developed for very specific and concrete architectural environments, such as the student restaurant of the Faculty of Forestry in Zagreb and the Residential Block in Bužanova Street, Zagreb. None of the options available on the market satisfied the expected project concept. On the other hand, the Shtef Shelf system, developed in collaboration with Grupa, is one of the classic design themes of design research. This project, too, arises from a specific architectural occasion: the transformation of Urania Cinema into a personal office. _ Maroje Mrduljaš
