Artists | SWITZERLAND


-If so, why is that? What special quality do you like in their work or personalities?


Comenius: Temperament, originality, revolution and following ideas in which nobody believes in.


-In which way do you think architecture, photography, art and design are different and/or similar?


Admir: All (are) kids of the same chaotic family with different characters. Comenius: (The creative experience) is only different in the beginning. But when you work a long time in a medium - it doesn’t matter if its art, design, or architecture - you always will end by asking the same questions.


-Do you aspire to collaborate with any artist from another artistic discipline?


Admir: Why not? Comenius: Not really, but why not?


-Do you have a favorite company or exciting other creator you like to work with?


Admir: I think we both have. But it is a secret. Comenius: Yes.

-Do you follow any philosophical or psychological approach in making your designs?


Admir: Yes. There is this moment. Comeniius: Admir and I discuss a lot before we start a new work. I guess we have an undefined philosophy.


-What is your favorite building in the world?


Admir: Old damaged industrial buildings, with heavy rusty machines, before architects, artists and designers move in. Comenius: Generally, I like old zoo buildings of the 20th century: The zebra house in Basel has a wonderful romantic quality. Also, private houses by Herzog & Demeuron.


-What is your favorite hotel?


Admir: I would love to spend a night in a motel with a vibrating bad. In 1958, John Houghtaling invented Magic Fingers, a device mounted onto a hotel bed that would shake the mattress under you for 15 minutes, promising escape from the work-day, non-vibrating-bed world. Comenius: My girlfriend and I have a secret hotel in Lissabon. It’s old and on the top of a small hill. Each room has an incredible view of the city.


-What would be your best home?


Admir: Still looking for it. Comenius: Home is where my heart is.
