Between Layers: The Art of Slow Living

Project

The “Between Layers: The Art of Slow Living” project encompasses the complete transformation of a 1960s apartment in Ljubljana. Conceived, curated and styled by Iza Magajna, it explores the relationship between space, atmosphere and visual storytelling through a slow and considered approach to living. By combining existing architectural features with carefully selected materials, contemporary design pieces and personal objects, the interior reflects the identity of its resident rather than responding to trends.

The exhibition presents the completed interior alongside selected visuals from the “ETIS Living SS24 Collection”, demonstrating how the same design principles extend across residential interiors, creative direction and editorial storytelling. Although created in different contexts, both projects examine how materials, light, composition and carefully selected objects shape timeless, authentic and emotionally engaging environments.

Rather than presenting interiors as static compositions, “Between Layers” celebrates spaces that evolve over time, shaped by memories, everyday rituals and the people who inhabit them.

Author

Iza Magajna is a Ljubljana-based designer and founder of the creative studio bymi., which specialises in brand identity, visual communications, interior concepts and spatial styling. She studied interior design, styling and decoration at Arts University Plymouth. Her approach to each project is rooted in storytelling, bringing together visual identity, spatial experience and carefully considered details.

Her work explores the relationship between aesthetics, functionality and emotion, focusing on spaces and identities that reflect the people they are created for. Through a multidisciplinary approach, she combines creative direction, design strategy, materiality and visual communication to develop coherent experiences across different media.

Alongside client projects in branding, editorial design, interiors and creative direction, she continues to examine the role of design in everyday life, from the way people experience spaces to the influence of objects and environments on memories and daily routines.
