Cirkus Ofis

“TITOV KAVČ je bil najden na kosovnem odpadu pod Kliničnim centrom v LJubljani ,leta 2003. Bkupaj z enosedom je krasil Titovo bolniško sobo. Enosed so vzeli prijatelji. Ker je bil kavč na dežju se je sicer originalni temno zeleni buklé tako razmočil, da ga je bilo potrebno ponovno tapicirati. Tako je dobil nekaj dodatnih vertikalnih šivov in kožo na kožo.” Cirkus Ofis.

Zgodba, ki jo nosi kavč je zapisana na papirju, ki tudi sam nosi zgodbo, pravopisno. V prodajni galeriji Cirkus Ofis ni predmeta brez zgodbe in ni oči, ki ne bi teh zgodb požirale kot za malico.

Saša Hess in Manca Krnel Hess sta svojo pisarno, po dolgem skrbnem zbiranju kosov v tujini, odprla na Gornjem trgu 22, za vse nas. Šatulje, glavnički in lasne igle, španska stena, trofeje iz perja, plise nakupovalne vrečke, dišave za dom, knjižna omara, coffee table, lastna linija oblačil Cirkus in nenazadnje listnik Cirkus, ki ga bomo na sveže prelistavali dvakrat na leto. Pri kreativni izvedbi Ofisa in listnika Cirkus je sodelovala tudi Mina Fina.

The story of the couch, predominantly sitting on one side of newly opened Cirkus Ofis gallery shop, has it’s story printed on a piece of paper, that holds it’s own, rather grammatical, story. That is how everything feels, when you walk into this sophisticated space, that doesn’t feel like your own city at all. And why should it, as almost every individual piece, comes collected from many different fairs from many different countries.

Saša Hess and Manca Krnel Hess are the people behind all the collected furniture, hair pins, feather trophies, decorative cases, pleated shopping bags, home fragrances, Cirkus own line of clothing and also Cirkus paper.

So the couch paper says, this Tito Couch was collected at a bulky waste collection in front of Ljubljana’s main hospital and was a part of decoration of Josip Broz Tito‘s hospital room. Together with a chair, which was collected by their friends, the couch was originally covered with green bouclé and had to be covered with another layer of leather, to be preserved, after being heavily soaked by the rain.
