The Birth of Oblik Studio Art
Oblik Studio Art began as more than just a business; it was a deeply personal journey for its founder, Nemanja Lakić. Driven by a desire for self-expression and the pursuit of a vision he could not find in the world around him, Nemanja set out to create furniture that was as distinctive as his own experiences and ideas. His mission was simple yet ambitious: to bridge the gap between traditional craftsmanship and modern design, resulting in pieces that embody timeless elegance and innovation.
From the earliest days, Nemanja immersed himself in learning and experimenting, weaving old-world techniques with contemporary methods to build furniture that told a story. Each creation was an exploration, blending the heritage of woodworking, metalwork, and glass artistry with forward-thinking concepts. The result was furniture that stood as a unique fingerprint, unmatched in its character and quality.
Drawing from the rich cultural history of Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Nemanja infused local influences with global inspirations. The city’s deep roots in craftsmanship served as both a guide and a muse, pushing him to uphold traditions while daring to reimagine them. Every piece that emerges from Oblik Studio Art carries this duality — a seamless mix of history and modernity.
At Oblik, we value not just the final product, but the creative process itself. Nemanja’s journey from idea to creation is evident in every chair, table, and accessory that leaves the workshop. It is this commitment to detail and authenticity that makes each item feel like more than furniture; it feels like art with a story, meant to be lived with and cherished.
Each creation at Oblik Studio is a unique fingerprint, a testament to our commitment to originality and attention to detail. Our distinctive approach ensures that every design stands out as a singular statement of style, offering a perfect blend of contemporary aesthetics and timeless elegance.
