HOUSE LE — Between Home and Project
In Prostoria’s new film House Le, designer Martin Pohl invites us into two closely connected spaces: his own home just outside Zagreb, and House Le — an interior design project shaped by the rhythms of everyday life. Moving between the personal and the professional, the film reveals how interiors emerge through comfort, contrast, and lived experience rather than rigid stylistic rules.
Pohl’s approach to design is rooted in balance. His own living room brings together contrasting styles, where the Layout sofa becomes the social core — equally suited to family gatherings, celebrations, and quiet daily moments. Its simplicity is complemented by the Echo armchairs, which introduce a visual and tactile counterpoint through their sculptural form and softer presence. The result is a space defined not by uniformity, but by dialogue between elements.
House Le unfolds differently. Designed as a minimalist counterpoint to Pohl’s personal home, the living area centres once again around the Layout sofa — a place where the family relaxes, gathers, and spends most of their time together. An outdoor-oriented lifestyle shaped the house around two atriums: one dedicated to dining and enjoyment, the other conceived as a lounge.
Here, Prostoria’s Convert outdoor collection and the Jugo outdoor dining collection extend living beyond the interior, creating seamless transitions between inside and out. Referencing the site’s history as a former brick factory, the warm brick tone is echoed throughout the outdoor furniture, anchoring the project in its context.
Through House Le, the film captures Prostoria furniture as part of everyday life — adaptable, understated, and capable of inhabiting both expressive, layered interiors and pared-back, minimalist spaces. It is a portrait of design not as an object, but as a framework for living.
