==Projects and international presence==
In 2005 Asobi introduced to the international market the iconic Isle Lounge sofa, developed in cooperation with the Slovene Space Agency in Constitution (an initiative of the [[Delak Intitute|Delak]] and [[Projekt Atol Institute]]) as part of the ''Products for Zero Gravity'' project. Isle Lounge has since been exhibited around the world at the most notable design events, to name only the London Design Festival, Il Salone Milan, IMM Cologne, and ICFF New York. 

The work of Asobi has been published in various printed and interactive media &ndash; the UK ''Blueprint'' and ''Icon'', the Italian ''Domus'' and ''INTERNI'', the Dutch ''Frame'' magazine, and numerous others. In 2009 Asobi took part in the exhibition "Storie di Design" during the Palermo Design Week 09.

==Work==
About a hundred projects in the field of furniture manufacture, lighting, tableware, sport, sanitary technology and the medical industries have been made for great companies such as Elan, Tipro, Adria Mobil, Intra Lighting, and Kovinoplastika Lož, among others. For the project ''Slovenska Street'' in 2008 Asobi developed a 100 % recyclable outdoor urban seat called the Ljubljana chair. These modular chairs were placed along the main street in Ljubljana at locations and in arrangements proposed by the [[ProstoRož]].

==Awards==

The lighting fixture Gwig, created by Asobi and produced by the Slovene company Intra Lighting received the prestigious international I.D. Design Award 2006, granted by an American magazine for industrial design, ''I.D.''. The studio was furthermore nominated for the [[National Design Awards | Designer of the Year]] in 2004 and the [[National Design Awards|Success Story]] in 2007.
