About the studio

Ema Pincan — interior design that feels like home.

I run Intro Design Studio from the island of Krk. I design apartments, houses, holiday rentals and commercial spaces in Primorje-Gorski Kotar and Istria County, and lead online collaborations across Croatia and abroad.

I started the studio with a simple idea: a space must be warm, functional and truly yours. Trends come and go — floor plan, materials and light stay. Decisions are made on that level first, and only then do we add the decorative layers.

My clients are most often families renovating an apartment or house on Krk, in Rijeka, Crikvenica, Opatija, Pazin, Poreč, Rovinj and elsewhere in Istria, as well as owners of rental apartments and villas who want a space that lasts season after season — and looks good in listing photos.

I lead every project personally, from the first conversation to the last detail. When needed I connect clients with trusted contractors and suppliers in Primorje-Gorski Kotar and Istria County.

Studio values

Four principles that guide every project.

01

Life before trend

A space has to work for everyday life. What matters is that it answers the user's needs.

02

Natural materials

Wood, varied textiles, colour as accents, ceramics — a space aligned with its surroundings.

03

Light as material

Lighting is planned as a whole, connecting daylight with artificial sources so the space feels good at any time of day.

04

Details you feel

Handles, joinery, material transitions — small decisions that make the space complete.

Service area

Local in Kvarner and Istria.

I am based in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County and regularly work on the island of Krk, in Rijeka, Opatija, Crikvenica and the Kvarner area, and across Istria — Pazin, Buzet, Tinjan and beyond.

For more distant locations I offer a hybrid model: part of the work happens online, with on-site visits scheduled at key project stages. I like to walk through the space before design begins, then again during contractor coordination and the installation phase.
