ZORI TIMELESS

Nestled in the deepest and quietest part of a bay on Palmižana, Zori Timeless Hotel is conceived as a secluded island retreat - a place for contemplation and slowing down. 

Designed by Split-based architects Zrinka and Vatroslav Visković, the project takes the form of a stone podium rising from the sea, an anchoring base that frames a Mediterranean garden and commands the bay. Within this garden lie four residential units, built from Hvar’s red soil and intentionally designed to almost disappear into the intense colours of the soil, vegetation, and stone. The architecture is emotional and insular, at once primitive and mystical - corporeal, Mediterranean, unmistakably Hvar-like.

The furniture selection follows the same philosophy of subtlety and belonging. Pieces by Prostoria - Umomoku sun loungers, the Bavul sofa-bench, Polygon armchair and low table, Strain low chair, and the Echo chaise lounge - are integrated into the architecture, as if they have always been part of the place.

For this project, the architects requested that all metal elements remain uncoated, finished in natural stainless steel rather than powder coating. In response, Prostoria developed a custom solution outside its standard product offering. According to feedback from the hotel, with proper maintenance - including regular removal of salt deposits - the furniture has shown no signs of corrosion.
