We are an interdisciplinary duo that poured all of our knowledge and inspiration into BOIR: Vlatka Leskovar - Zidar, a product designer, and Ivan Zidar, a graphic designer turned chef. Ivan's understanding of local ingredients and endless love for culinary experimentation blends with Vlatka's ever-evolving exploration of the way physical objects inspire rituals and incite memories. Together, they create a unique platform for development of design concepts. 

Vlatka worked as a Creative Director at award-winning spatial design studio, while Ivan studied culinary arts at Institut Paul Bocuse, before launching his successful gourmet street food franchise. When our lives fused together, we realized we needed to join our inspirations too. A year later — BOIR was born.
