Idea

The idea for Triglav products was born spontaneously, inspired by the experience and admiration of this magnificent mountain. For us Slovenians, Triglav is the most cherished mountain, known for its distinctive feature – the shape of its three peaks. Throughout history, Triglav has been attributed a significant role, symbolizing a strong sense of national identity. As you gaze upon the mountain, hike to its summit, admire the Triglav Lakes, climb its towering northern wall, or ski down from its peak, you become deeply connected to its stunning surroundings. The mountain simply grows close to your heart. And then, there’s the creative side of you, yearning to express itself, driven by a passion to develop and share the iconic “three-head” symbolism.

Triglav Meditation

A pleasant highlight of our office is the view from the windows, graced by the image of Triglav. When you feel drained from work, you simply look southwest toward the Julian Alps, where the majestic form of Triglav stands out. It’s common to get up, take a walk on the terrace, breathe in the fresh air, and let your gaze rest on this stunning mountain landscape. It’s like our little mantra—a form of relaxation, a brief meditation, and a moment to recharge. In these moments, deep within us, new ideas begin to emerge, accompanied by a sense of freshness and renewed motivation.

It all starts with a pile of kneaded clay. It is very important that the clay is properly and sufficiently kneaded. After placing the ball on the spinning wheel, she begins to work it with both hands. Slowly. She prefers to “shape” several times, rather than forcing the clay too quickly into something she doesn’t want. Clay has a very good memory. When it reaches the desired shape, it is placed on a board from the spinning wheel and then rests for a day or so to dry to the point where it can start turning. In this phase, the product gets its final appearance. This is followed by the first and second baking, which ensure that the product is suitable for use.

Dasha prefers to make cups. Otherwise, bowls of all types and sizes, plates, containers with lids for sugar or coffee, salt shakers, vaporizers,… in short, everything that can be turned, is born on the spinning wheel.
