In cooperation with the Turkish retail agency Yalin Tan, we opened Intersport in the very center of Zagreb, in Petrinjska Street, which covers 1020 m2. The interior uses the Nike store concept Nextgen, which presents innovations in retail design, premium atmosphere, and materials, as well as an emphasis on digital elements and interactive zones. The challenges of narrow and long space are solved by specific lighting plans and lines on the floor that indirectly lead the customer into the depth of the space in order to adequately present the entire range.

Production/ Sobočan
With more than 20 years of experience, we are one of the leading furniture manufacturers in Europe. Interior design and product design takes place under one roof and the project continues with the work of our development team and production. We are guided by the motto everything works!
We are a family company and this additionally motivates us to deliver top products made of the highest quality materials. We are one of the few manufacturers who work with wood, metal, acrylic and various varnishing techniques in one place. Sobočan design studio consists of six experts who offer clients support in the entire process of creating products and spaces.
Together with our clients, we use the power of design to generate innovative solutions. The combination of different experiences such as interior design, project management, product design and retail store design make this team competitive in the domestic and overseas market.
Caring for the environment is an integral part of our business and we can proudly say that we have big plans for the future. We started the green transition in 2016 with the construction of a wood waste incineration plant, and we marked the end of the first part of that transition with the opening of our own solar power plant.
The total investment in the construction of the solar power plant amounts to HRK 4.5 million, of which HRK 2.2 million is co-financed with European money, and the rest with the company's capital.
As many as 2,400 photovoltaic panels have been installed on the roof of the production hall, which will produce 900 kilowatt hours of power, thanks to which the company will cover almost 70 percent of the electricity needs from its own production in the future.
We can proudly say that Sobočan is one of the leaders and examples in the implementation of solutions based on renewable energy sources.
We generate about 70 percent of our revenues in foreign markets such as Germany, Austria and Italy. Our biggest foreign customers are Intersport, Crocs and MOL Group. Our biggest domestic clients are Ina, Tifon, Valamar, Imperial Riviera and Studenac.
Our employees and their satisfaction will always be our main driving force.
