About the Work
About the Artist

The DZEN lamp is an exploration of light as a source of inner balance. At its core is the desire to create more than just a lighting fixture — it is an object designed to transform the perception of space and evoke a distinct emotional state.

The primary material of the luminous element is natural alabaster, a stone uniquely capable of softly diffusing light. When illuminated, it appears to come alive from within, filling the interior with a warm, deep glow devoid of harsh contrasts. Here, light is not merely an accent, but an atmosphere.

The lamp's base is crafted from natural Rosso Cardinale marble. Its deep wine-red hue and expressive natural veining create a striking contrast with the translucent alabaster, heightening the sense of monumentality and the noble quality of the material. This interplay between the warm glow and the rich stone renders the piece simultaneously sculptural and emotive.

The minimalistic, architectural form accentuates the inherent beauty of the natural materials, shifting focus to the essentials: the interaction of light, texture, and space. As a result, the lamp exists as an independent collectible object while seamlessly integrating into the interior without overwhelming it.

DZEN is a piece that serves as a reminder of the value of a pause, of stillness and contemplation. It carves out a space where one wants to slow down, disconnect from external noise, and focus on what truly matters. It is precisely for this reason that light here becomes not just a functional element, but part of a daily ritual that fosters a sense of harmony.

Vedran Brkich is the founder of AB-Architects, a boutique practice he established in 2004 alongside his brother Zlatan Brkich, who is also a MArchI graduate. The studio specializes in high-end architecture, bespoke interiors, and curated spaces.

Now AB-Architects operates across 12 countries, working on private residences, luxury interiors, and public spaces. Since 2017, the firm has been consistently recognized among Russia’s top architectural practices by AD Magazine and INTERIOR+DESIGN, earning prestigious industry awards and widespread coverage in national and international publications.

For Vedran, a boutique approach means complete personal involvement and an uncompromising eye for detail. His practice is rooted in a deep understanding of the client, including their lifestyle, habits, aesthetic tastes, and the atmosphere they wish to experience within a space. This insight forms the unique DNA of every interior he creates.

Rather than adhering to a single style or chasing short-lived trends, Vedran focuses on creating timeless environments that remain relevant for decades. He seamlessly weaves together architecture, tactile materials, light, artwork, and subtle details into a cohesive, harmonious whole.

Collectible design plays a central role in his work. In 2025, Vedran debuted his O N C E collection at ARCH Moscow, anchored by the Laconíc console. Through these objects, he translates core architectural principles such as form, proportion, materiality, and spatial presence into the realm of collectible design.

At Cosmoscow 2026, Vedran presents the Laconíc console alongside a new work from the collection, the Dzen lamp, at the booth of SPACE FOUR, a gallery of conceptual design.
