Otti Berger (1898 – 1944/45) was a Croatian designer, textile artist, and professor at the Bauhaus school.
The Children’s room rug (1929) is a key work by Otti Berger during her time at the Bauhaus school.
The rug showcases clear geometric designs that remain warm and inviting. Various shapes and texture were used as visual reference for fragmented character of the exhibition.
The exhibition is divided into separate fragments, with pages that open in an irregular order.
Each fragment represents a segment of Otti's life and work.
All pages have a consistent design, featuring vibrant colors from Otti’s work.
The exhibition is designed as a "show in a suitcase.”
The first event took place on April 4, 2026, at the Otti Berger Park in Zagreb.
