Unveiling Gregor Drobnic<\/em><\/strong>\u2018s Talent<\/em><\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

CAREER<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

How did you get into the field of interior design?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gregor Drobnic:<\/strong> When I was about five years old, my family and I were on vacation in Croatia. \u201cWho chooses what the buildings look like and how the rooms are set?\u201d I asked my father as we sat in front of a hotel. \u201cThey are called architects, and they draft plans and specify the layouts of the building,\u201d he explained. That was it: I had discovered my actual calling. My profession progressed by moving furniture from one wall to another in my child\u2019s room, and it always worked out. Fast forward to university, where I completed classical architecture and discovered my passion for interior design. Space has always been my greatest source of inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gregor<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What would you say your working style is? Do you have any signatures that aid in the identification of your projects?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gregor Drobnic:<\/strong> I enjoy cutting phantom aches into gaps. That being stated, I can now officially declare that my architectural side has emerged. These aches assist me in meticulously planning the arrangement of a project. The light line follows the furniture pattern, and the focal wall is frequently placed where the arches intersect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gregor<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Being passionate about our work is always the route to improved success. Is this a career that you adore? What is it about being an interior designer that you enjoy the most?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gregor Drobnic:<\/strong> My work is a pleasure for me, and I enjoy it. When I\u2019m working on a project, I don\u2019t mind staying up late or working on weekends. \u2018I have a job,\u2019 I was never a huge admirer of stating. The nicest part of a project is when my thoughts come to life and the space I\u2019ve been preparing for a long time takes on a realistic shape, along with beautiful scenery (which was before happening in my head).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gregor<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Anyone who wants to succeed in this business must keep up with all of the latest trends. How do you stay up to date with new trends?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gregor Drobnic:<\/strong> Following new trends is crucial, but how you mix these trends into new ventures is even more important. I don\u2019t want my finished projects to look like everyone else\u2019s on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

What significant international events do you attend to stay up to date on the current trends?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gregor Drobnic:<\/strong> I\u2019ll be at Maison Object in Paris and Salone del Mobile in Milan, for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

How would you define your personal decorating style, best interior designers?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gregor Drobnic:<\/strong> Decoration is the sweet cherry on top of the interior, and I\u2019m always thinking about what it takes to get to this point, and where this vase, those cushions, the flowerpot, or the statue should go. I dislike so-called dust collectors since every object must also have a meaning. I always start with a function that follows the shape when layering the decoration in a project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gregor<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

All artists, including interior designers, require inspiration to work. So, who or what inspires you the most?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gregor Drobnic:<\/strong> I live my life with my eyes wide open! Berlin is my home base, and I get inspired while roaming around the city with my dog Otto. It happens frequently; for example, when I first walk into a new building, I won\u2019t say much since I\u2019m absorbing the surroundings. What was the designer\u2019s intention and how was it carried out? I enjoy experimenting with both hard and soft materials, and I\u2019m always interested in seeing a material combination in the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a major fan of 1950s brutalist architecture, which is why I enjoy going across history to witness perfect instances of brutalist architecture. The scale gives me a weird experience, but the love affair between the scale and all the hidden intricacies is my main source of inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gregor<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Which project would you choose if you had to choose one from around the world to make?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gregor Drobnic:<\/strong> Elrod House in Palm Springs! Concrete and monument structures appeal to me much. When I first saw it in the James Bond film \u201cDiamonds are Forever,\u201d I fell in love with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

PROJECTS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

How crucial is it for you and your clients to have ideal chemistry in order to obtain the best results?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gregor Drobnic: Chemistry is one of the most crucial aspects of completing a project; if it is lacking, I would sooner abandon the project than continue with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gregor<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Do you think working in a team is better or worse than working alone in interior design? Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gregor Drobnic:<\/strong> It depends entirely on the project\u2019s scope. I design private flats and houses with my clients on a personal basis, which takes time to earn their trust and belief. This is also why I plan things mostly on my own, with backup support in the background if necessary. I constantly tell my clients that I want to turn this apartment into your ideal home, but there are some challenges ahead of us. You must consider more individuals who interact in this layout while building retail, hospitality, and office projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

FUTURE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Is there anything exciting you\u2019re working on right now that you can share with us?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gregor Drobnic:<\/strong> I\u2019m now working on three home projects, all of which have completely distinct layouts and clientele, which is what fascinates me the most. When I initially walked into one of these apartments, I said to myself, \u201cWhat an ugly duck ready to be changed into a swan.\u201d The entrance, kitchen, dining room, and living room are all centered on a large monospace (too many electricity outputs on the ceiling and a really nice floor). The upper floor is accessible by a staircase. Its appearance does not correspond to the notion. After a lot of stacking with various materials, colors, and textures, lighting, I can\u2019t wait to see the project finished!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gregor<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As a designer, what is your proudest achievement? What are your long-term objectives?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gregor Drobnic:<\/strong> I am quite happy of my prize from the Finest Interior Award, which I earned in 2017 in the area of Finest Interior with Art & Accessories. My work is my life, and the best achievement is if people like what I do and become my clients as a result of what I\u2019ve discovered previously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Gregor<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Do you have a favorite project or a favorite project-related story?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gregor Drobnic:<\/strong> I began my work in interior design as a personal furniture shopper, assisting clients in finding their ideal house. Soon after, a Berlin journalist noticed my work and conducted an interview with me for the local publication. I never expected this interview to bring my interior design career full circle. A day later, I received a request for a brand-new loft in Kreuzberg. The rest is a legend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are three doorways in this loft. Two bathroom doors and the main entrance. I was designing a lot of built-in closets that also serve as room separators. The materials I recommended in my design intent were corten rusted steel and concrete throughout. This was my first attempt at combining two hefty materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time, the client elected to keep them plain white. \u201cI\u2019m a little terrified about this mix,\u201d she said. \u2018Gregor, you were correct, I can\u2019t see this white furniture longer, and I went back on the scenery and planned perfect rusty steel closets, and the material mixture is great,\u2019 I received an e-mail three years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
