When these two, not exactly »Lojzes« (Borut&Gašper), connected they were thinking, drawing, cooking and finally they created something.

Delicious Slovenian cuisine, contemporary design trends and different views of the world are things which connected ideas of chef Borut and designer Gašper. They do not distance from tradition but they carefully look for inspiration in it. They do not run away from knowledge of shovels and hoes use, but they pump from the “Lojzes,” elders of production, processing and usage of indigenous crops.

With respect to them and to the nature of Slovenian indigenous raw materials they combine them in the Slovenian domestic brand product Lojz Lojz, which mixes their own creative ideas. Modern taste of Galerija okusov lets your home be filled with a rainbow of intoxicating scents.
