Radionica inkluzivnog i održivog dizajna VANI: Održivi i inkluzivni proizvodi i identitet održana je od 11.– 15.5.2026. u prostorima Ustanove za profesionalnu rehabilitaciju i zapošljavanje osoba s invaliditetom URIHO u Zagrebu. Cilj radionice bio je istražiti mogućnosti inkluzivnog i održivog dizajna kao alata za olakšavanje boravka i aktivnosti na otvorenim javnim prostorima bez obzira na invaliditet i vremenske prilike, odnosno dizajn održivih i inkluzivnih predmeta za zaštitu od kiše (kabanica), dizajn komunikacija i brandinga proizvoda koji komuniciraju koncept slobode kretanja i isticanja osobnog identiteta umjesto invaliditeta. 

Radionicu su vodile prof. Sanja Bencetić i doc. Izvorka Jurić (AF Studij dizajna) i modna dizajnerica Irena Rački (URIHO), a u participativnom procesu inkluzivnog dizajna sudjelovali su studenti dizajna Lara Luić Kmezić, Marko Mayer, Karlo Drobnjak, Ema Kreč, Katja Mandir i Karlo Omazić, te zaposlenici URIHO-a Željko Vajdić (stručnjak za krojenje i tehnologiju izrade proizvoda iz kože), Milka Friščić (stručnjakinja za krojenje i tehnologiju izrade tekstilnih proizvoda), Suzana Pavlović (tekstilni tehnolog, korisnica invalidskih kolica), Vendi Babeli (slikarica i muzeolog, osoba s Bloom sindromom) i Marijana Milas (magistra tekstilnog dizajna, osoba niskog rasta i ograničene motorike).

Radionica je rezultirala s tri idejna rješenja i prvim prototipovima inkluzivnih kabanica koje će se dalje detaljno razvijati do završnih modela za proizvodnju u suradnji voditeljica radionice s AF-a i stručnjaka iz URIHO-a.

The inclusive and sustainable design workshop OUTDOORS: Sustainable and inclusive products and identity was held from May 11-15, 2026. in the premises of the Institution for Professional Rehabilitation and Employment of Persons with Disabilities URIHO in Zagreb. The aim of the workshop was to explore the possibilities of inclusive and sustainable design as a tool for outdoor activities in open public spaces regardless of disability and weather conditions, meaning the design of sustainable and inclusive items for protection from rain (raincoats), the design of communication and branding of products that communicate the concept of freedom of movement and emphasizing personal identity instead of disability.

The workshop was led by prof. Sanja Bencetić and asst. prof. Izvorka Jurić (AF Design Department) together with fashion designer Irena Rački (URIHO). Design students Lara Luić Kmezić, Marko Mayer, Karlo Drobnjak, Ema Kreč, Katja Mandir and Karlo Omazić, and URIHO employees Željko Vajdić (tailoring and leather product manufacturing technology expert), Milka Friščić (tailoring and textile manufacturing technology expert), Suzana Pavlović (textile, technologist, wheelchair user), Wendi Babeli (painter and museologist, person with Bloom syndrome) and Marijana Milas (master of textile design, person of short stature and limited motor skills) participated in the participatory process of inclusive design.

The workshop resulted in three conceptual solutions and the first prototypes of inclusive raincoats, which will be further developed in detail to the final models for production in cooperation with the workshop leaders from AF and experts from URIHO.
