Zvonimir Cicak – Head of Development Department
At Prostoria, we often emphasize how no two days are the same — each project opens new questions, fresh challenges, and opportunities to learn. Zvonimir Čičak, Head of our Development Department, is a prime example of how a career can thrive in such an environment. His expertise, deep understanding of design, and continuous curiosity make him an invaluable part of our team.
Zvonimir joined Prostoria over ten years ago and has been leading the development department for the past five. From the very beginning, he demonstrated what we value most — technical precision, curiosity, and a collaborative spirit. A trained electrical engineer from the Osijek region, he previously worked on the development of educational robots. When that phase of his career came to an end, he sought a new challenge. At one point, he considered leaving Croatia — but instead, he accepted the opportunity to work at Prostoria and moved with his family to Hrvatsko Zagorje, starting a completely new professional and personal chapter.
„The best part of my job is the diversity and constant movement — no two days are the same, and every project brings its own challenges. Prostoria is a place where knowledge is constantly growing, and challenges turn into opportunities.“
Today, he is responsible for the technical development of all new products as well as the refinement of existing ones. His collaboration with designers starts with the initial concept and continues until the piece is ready for serial production. His team ensures that each product is technically, functionally, and aesthetically feasible.
He is especially proud of the development of the Kontrapunkt armchair — one of the most technically complex pieces in Prostoria’s collection — as well as current projects that continue to push the boundaries between design and engineering.
Zvonimir often highlights how much the team atmosphere means to him. At Prostoria, we believe that no success comes alone — every department and every individual is part of a collective process. Open communication, shared knowledge, and joint problem-solving are at the core of our approach.
His story is proof that it is possible to build a fulfilling and progressive career in Croatia — with knowledge, determination, and the right working environment.
