PATTERN PLAY INTERVIEW FOR HOSPITALITY DESIGN MAGAZINE

Thank you, Hospitality Design Magazine, for featuring us in your latest issue with an article titled “13&9 Fuses Science and Sustainability with Soul,” and for highlighting our two fractal design-based interior projects that are 2025 finalists at the World Architecture Festival in Miami, USA.

In 2013, Anastasija and Martin Lesjak launched 13&9 at the annual NYCxDesign festival with an expansive, human-centered mission. The duo also joined forces with Fractals Research on three flooring tile collections for the Mohawk Group to promote well-being, as well as on the Renaturation range of wallpaper and murals for Momentum Textiles & Wallcovering.

“We wanted to take a holistic approach to creativity and design. What makes us – ourselves, our communities, our environments – feel well? We are interested in different disciplines and in meeting artists, designers, and scientists,” says Anastasija, who serves as co-CEO and creative director. “We always start from zero and do our research. Sometimes it takes a couple of years to get from idea to product.”
