This autumn, as we strolled down Gundulićeva Street in Zagreb—a picturesque lane known for its European charm and historic facades—we discovered a hidden gem at number 8: Grandiosa Design. This newly opened interior design studio offers a haven for those who live for art and aspire to bring timeless beauty into their living spaces. Every room in this vibrant gallery of inspiration carries its own unique design signature and tells a story unlike any other.

The story of Grandiosa Design is one of passion and vision, brought to life by its founders, Marina and Srećko Srdjak. This unassuming husband-and-wife duo has channeled their love for design into a groundbreaking entrepreneurial venture.

A Designer’s Paradise in the Heart of Zagreb

After more than two decades of thriving careers in medicine and dentistry, the Srdjaks decided to apply their expertise in international business to the world of interior design. This career shift stemmed from their deep-seated passion for design and the desire to create a comprehensive approach to interior projects. Dissatisfied with the lack of options when building their own clinic, they resolved to establish a studio that would set new standards in quality, professionalism, and project presentation.

“Our experience across industries revealed a gap in the market for an innovative interior design concept that provides an all-encompassing service—from planning to execution—while offering high-quality standards and timeless elegance,” explained Srećko Srdjak, founder and director of Grandiosa Design. “Through Grandiosa, we aim to create inspiring interiors that align with global design trends. We’re proud of how far we’ve come.”

Marina Srdjak, the creative force behind the brand, elaborated: “Our passion lies in crafting grandiose spaces imbued with classic charm and refined elegance. Grandiosa isn’t just a design studio—it’s a celebration of art, a meeting point for those who appreciate the finer things in life. We want to push boundaries and redefine the possibilities of interior design.”

An Ode to Classical Elegance and Modern Luxury

The Grandiosa showroom is a harmonious blend of modern luxury and classical elegance. Its expansive rooms feature high ceilings, large windows, and intricate moldings that exude grandeur. The carefully curated lighting highlights the space’s thoughtful design elements, while every piece of furniture and decor has been meticulously selected to inspire creativity.

“Grandiosa is all about inspiration,” said Marina. “We invite our visitors to immerse themselves in our vision, dream big, and let their imagination soar. Our promise is to transform our clients’ ideas into stunning realities, with an unwavering commitment to quality and creativity.”

The showroom features five luxuriously designed rooms, each with a distinct personality yet united by a cohesive contemporary-classic aesthetic. French and Spanish lighting pieces evoke opulence, while Scandinavian and European furniture brands, including Guadarte, Labyrinthe, and Richmond, enhance the sophistication of each space. The standout pieces include bespoke sofas, sleek black tables adorned with luxury chess sets, and elegant console tables.

Expertise That Transforms Vision into Reality

At Grandiosa, the design process begins with detailed sketches and 3D renderings, bringing client ideas to life. The studio provides comprehensive services, including furniture selection, décor, textiles, and meticulous project planning. Clients receive a complete visual representation of their future space, enhanced by dynamic video presentations and a transparent financial plan. Every item is stored in Grandiosa’s secure warehouse, ensuring impeccable quality from start to finish.

“Our greatest asset is the knowledge and experience of our team,” said Srećko. “Our architects and designers craft bespoke interior concepts that marry aesthetics and functionality. With creativity, innovation, and meticulous execution, we strive to exceed expectations and deliver exceptional results.”

A Vision That Goes Beyond Interiors

For the Srdjaks, Grandiosa is more than a business—it’s a philosophy. They are committed to embracing sustainable materials, innovative solutions, and the highest standards of design excellence. By drawing inspiration from diverse artistic traditions, they add depth and character to every project.

“Our values define our brand,” said Marina. “Elegance, innovation, professionalism, and collaboration are at the heart of what we do. Timeless elegance isn’t just a design choice; it’s a way of life. We’re proud to work with an exceptional team whose passion and creativity bring Grandiosa’s vision to life.”

A Cultural and Artistic Hub

Grandiosa Design is more than an interior design studio—it’s a cultural venue. Through their Glamorous Gala initiative, the showroom doubles as a stage for artistic and cultural events, offering a unique space for creative expression.
