Ljubljana to do
Ljubljana is a small, beautiful, and walkable city where everything unfolds at a human pace. This is my short list of what’s a must if you’re here for a day or two — from the riverside stroll along the Ljubljanica, to the layered architecture shaped by Jože Plečnik, to the mix of cafés, galleries, and hidden courtyards that reward slow exploration. It’s not about rushing between landmarks, but about taking time to notice the details that make the city quietly unique.
Where I go for a coffee:
Črno zrno
Tiny, almost hidden. Coffee as ritual, not product. Minimal space, maximum focus — you go here to reset your senses.
Cafetino
More classic and layered. A place to sit longer, observe people, and feel the city’s rhythm.
What you don’t wanrt to miss:
Tiporenesansa
A working letterpress studio. Pure tactile design — ink, paper, craft. A reminder of where typography comes from.
Cukrarna
Contemporary art in a raw industrial shell. Big, quiet, and spatially powerful — more about atmosphere than objects.
Ljubljana Castle
Not just a landmark — a viewpoint to understand the city’s scale and structure.
Gornji trg
One of the most beautiful streets. Slow, historic, almost cinematic — details everywhere. And my studio is there.
Center Rog
New creative hub. Makers, labs, exhibitions — where contemporary Ljubljana experiments.
Where we go for a beer:
Tozd
Hybrid café/bar. Relaxed, slightly rough around the edges — creative crowd, no pressure.
Beli Volk
Natural wine, intimate vibe. Feels like a secret you share with a few people.
Lajbah
Craft beer spot with a local pulse. Social, unpretentious, always alive.
Daktari
A bit eclectic, a bit nostalgic. Music, atmosphere, and a slightly chaotic charm.
Some really good food:
Veganika
Playful vegan comfort food. Bright, casual, and surprisingly indulgent.
Maha
Calm, mindful, almost spiritual approach to food. Slow eating, clean ingredients.
Breg
Right by the river. A balance of location and solid cuisine — easy, reliable.
Moji Štruklji Slovenije
Traditional Slovenian dish done right. Simple, authentic, rooted.
Gostilnica 5–6 kg
More contemporary, slightly elevated. Good example of modern local dining.
A little bit of shopping:
Oliviers & Co
For ingredients — olive oils, flavors, sensory details. Design through taste.
Gud Shop
Curated Slovenian design objects. A small window into the local creative scene.
Probably I forgot something and will add it later. Feel free to remind me 🙂

Art is Provocation: Raising Questions, without Giving Answers
Art versus design thinking represents two fundamentally different approaches to creative expression. While design focuses on providing clear solutions to client problems, art versus design thinking shows how art operates by raising complex questions without offering simple resolutions. This divide shapes how we approach creativity and meaning-making.
Good design is for good clients
Good design clients are essential partners in creating successful outcomes. At Visual Brain Gravity in Ljubljana, we've learned that the best projects emerge when good design clients become genuine friends who share mutual trust and understanding.
What is a good design
Good design principles matter more than perfect definitions when creating work that actually performs. Every designer seeks practical rules over motivational theory, yet most discussions about good design principles focus on idealistic concepts rather than actionable guidelines.
Branding Agency vs Logo Designer: Understanding the Difference
Branding agency vs logo designer decisions often come down to budget, but that's the wrong approach. The real question is whether your business needs a visual symbol or a strategic identity system that supports long-term growth and consistency.
Are we artists or designers?
Artists & designers serve fundamentally different purposes in creative work. While performers operate without constraints, designers function as craftsmen who solve specific problems within defined parameters. This distinction shapes how design studios approach client challenges versus artistic expression.
WRWD Concept: Write, Read, Walk, and Draw Daily
WRWD daily creative habits offer designers a framework for consistent growth through four essential activities. This approach to building creative discipline emerged from our studio's experience managing complex projects while maintaining artistic development. WRWD daily creative habits create structure without overwhelming already busy design professionals.
Dear Client
Dear client relationships in design require honest conversations about boundaries and endings. When design partnerships no longer serve the work's integrity, respectful closure becomes essential for growth.
Passion
Passion vs dedication in design represents a fundamental choice every creative professional must make. While the design industry celebrates emotional attachment to work, true craft demands the controlled commitment that only dedication provides. This distinction shapes how we serve clients and approach our creative process.
