Interior designer Perišin Stipolev: ‘Corda project did exactly what I wanted’

Ana Perišin Stipoljev, interior designer with more than 17 years of experience and owner of Koras interiors , is very happy to recall her collaboration with the Zagreb-based company Corda projekt , which has been producing lighting fixtures for more than a decade.

In fact, as she says, the Corda project did exactly what she wanted. All the details (material, dimensions, type and shape of the bulb) passed and agreed before the construction itself so there were no surprises.

– On the contrary, I got a product of top quality and desired design – she explained.

Namely, it is a Rustical lamp made for villa Retreat in Vinišće , which is an extremely large lamp with a diameter of 80 centimeters and with its ten kilograms extends over two floors.

– Such a lamp, of this design, is almost impossible to find on the market in Croatia. Considering that the house was made in a Mediterranean style with modern details and such an iron chandelier perfectly fit into the interior – design and function – explained the designer.

Let us also mention that the lamp hangs from a wooden beam at the height of the ceiling to the floor of about 7.3 meters, while the height of the lamp itself is over five meters. The lamp is located above the dining table.

The goal during the construction was to make a lamp that exudes antiquity, but it is not too rustic because the style of the house is a combination of modern and traditional Dalmatian (stone, wood, wooden beams…).

– I first heard about Corda at the fair in Split and I was thrilled by the information that there is a Croatian company that can make a lightfix according to my design and desire. Our first collaboration was on the facility in Seget Vranjica 2019. age. Of course, the cooperation was successful – explained Ana Perišin Stipoljev and added that the cooperation with this Zagreb company continues.

-There is nothing more beautiful than to get a unique product for a particular interior – she concluded.
