This year’s Days of Oris felt especially meaningful for us.
Alongside the opening of Revisiting Richter, we spent inspiring days with the architectural and design community through conversations, lectures, exhibitions, and shared moments around design.
One of the highlights was the lecture by Maroje Mrduljaš on the work of Vjenceslav Richter and the relevance of his ideas today.
We were also honoured to present the VR52 Chair from the Richter Collection to Vedran Mimica, recipient of this year’s Oris Award for Outstanding Contribution to Architecture.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by and shared these moments with us in Zagreb.

The Revisiting Richter exhibition is now on view at Oris House of Architecture in Zagreb, until 16.
Opening hours are Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 17:00, and Saturday from 10:00 to 13:00.
It was a real pleasure to gather with friends, partners, architects, and design lovers at Oris House of Architecture and share the first Zagreb presentation of the Richter Collection.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and experienced the world of Vjenceslav Richter through the exhibition, conversations, and atmosphere of the evening.
The exhibition remains open until 16 May, so if you are in Zagreb, you still have time to visit.

The VR61 Lounge Chair evolved from the original VR61 Chair conceived by Vjenceslav Richter in 1961.
While the chair remained faithful to Richter’s original proportions and geometry, the lounge version became an opportunity to extend the idea further - asking how a radical modernist concept could fully inhabit contemporary life.
Developed by Prostoria in collaboration with Richter+ team - Numen/ForUse, Neisako and Grupa - the VR61 Lounge reinterprets the original through a more open posture, expanded proportions and deeper comfort, while preserving the mirrored symmetry and sculptural clarity at the core of Richter’s vision.
The structure was entirely re-engineered to meet contemporary ergonomic, safety and production standards - not as a reproduction of the past, but as its continuation.
On view from today at @oris_house_of_architecture in Zagreb until May 16.
The graphics draw from Vjenceslav Richter’s original concept of “systemic graphics,” preserving its underlying logic while reinterpreting it through contemporary media and modes of communication.
This approach reflects a broader continuity between historical design thinking and present-day visual language - where structure becomes a living system, adaptable yet coherent.

See you on Friday in Zagreb at the opening of the Revisiting Richter exhibition at Oris - House of Architecture.
We are celebrating the moment of presenting to the local community the result of a two-year journey behind the Richter Collection - a project that brings the ideas of Vjenceslav Richter back to life through contemporary furniture.
A chance to reconnect with our own cultural heritage, now reawakened.

“Iznova Richter” u Zagrebu - 8.5. otvaramo izložbu u @oris_house_of_architecture , u gradu u kojem su nastajale Richterove ideje, eksperimenti i vizije budućnosti.
Posebno nam je važno predstaviti projekt upravo ovdje, u gradu koji je oblikovao Richtera, ali koji je i on trajno obilježio.
Izložba je otvorena od 9. do 16. svibnja u @oris_house_of_architecture

Revisiting Richter in Zagreb - on May 8 we open the exhibition in the city where Richter’s ideas, experiments, and visions of the future were created.
It is especially meaningful for us to present the project here, in the city that shaped Richter, but which he also permanently shaped in return.
The exhibition is open from May 9–16 at Oris - House of Architecture.
We are thrilled to share Revisiting Richter in Zagreb, where Richter lived and created, bringing the project back to its cultural and intellectual roots.
Drago nam je što izložbu Iznova Richter predstavljamo u Zagrebu, gdje je Richter živio i stvarao, vraćajući projekt njegovim kulturnim i intelektualnim korijenima.
Izložba se može pogledati od 9. do 16. svibnja u Kući arhitekture - Oris. @oris_house_of_architecture

Revisiting Richter goes beyond furniture for us - it’s about bringing back a forgotten chapter of Croatian design heritage and giving it a place in the present.
Iznova Richter za nas nadilazi proizvodnju namještaja - riječ je o ponovnom oživljavanju zaboravljenog poglavlja hrvatske dizajnerske baštine i njegovu vraćanju u sadašnjost.
Uskoro u Zagrebu.
