Romana Brina Gobec is the driving force behind Brinas Studio, the natural dye house. After five years working as a marketing strategist for a global company in the gaming industry, she decided to start her own business. She found her medium of expression in natural colours and founded Brinas Studio, the first natural dye house in Slovenia. Here, she creates sustainable hand-painted utilitarian accessories, clothing and home accessories for her own collections, and does bespoke dyeing. Her collaborations include Just a Corpse (300+ naturally dyed products) and the International Centre of Graphic Arts MGLC (150 products made from 75 metres of fabric). Her collection SS24 was shipped to Japan (60+ pieces of clothing). All products are created with sustainable principles in mind. Her works Back Home and Rays of the Same Sun were exhibited at the Kranj Textile Art Biennial 2023. Her project The Colourful Heritage of Food was selected among the ten projects for the Design Dining: Slovenian Tableware Design project, which was exhibited at the Vienna Design Week 2021.
