Tuft Pula, Numen/For Use, a Croatian base design studio that specializes in large-scale sculptures created using tape. In the Tuft Pula the tape is used for its structural framework. This allowed for the framework to take on a more flexible organic form.
The interior space is lined with red carpet to create warmth, relaxed and an inviting environment; in contrast to this the exterior is left exposed giving a rough and industrial feel, drawing reference from its surrounding environment.
The installation was constructed in a Croatian factory in Regenarcija, after which it was transported to an old church in Pula. Within the church, the installation is elevated four meters off the ground, suspended with the use of tension cables.
Gaining access to the installation is done by the use of a portable ladder. The height of the installation creates anxiety among visitors, due to the impression that it is floating in mid-air.
Anastasia Andreieva is an accomplished Architectural Projects Editor at Arch2O, bringing a unique blend of linguistic expertise and design enthusiasm to the team. Born and raised in Ukraine, she holds a Master’s degree in Languages from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. Her deep passion for architecture and visual storytelling led her to transition from translation and editorial roles into the world of design media. With a keen eye for conceptual clarity and narrative structure, Anastasia curates and presents global architectural projects with precision and flair. She is particularly drawn to parametric and digital design, cultural context, and emerging voices in architecture. When I’m not analyzing the latest architectural trends, you’ll probably find me searching for hidden gems in cityscapes or appreciating the beauty of well-crafted spaces. After all, great design—like great connections—can be found in the most unexpected places. Speaking of connections, because architecture isn’t the only thing that brings people together.
