It's Friday. The working week is drawing to a close, and for a moment, legal matters, deadlines, meetings, tax analyses, and business plans can all wait. We decided to give creativity a little more room.

The inspiration came from the European Central Bank's current initiative to redesign future euro banknotes. That was all we needed to ask ourselves one simple question: What would euro banknotes look like if we designed them ourselves, inspired by art and the world that surrounds us every day?

And so, a small creative workshop began within the StandardPrva world.

For inspiration, we turned to artworks from the Collection of Stevanović Law Office, the Branislav and Vesna Stevanović Foundation, as well as visual motifs connected to the StandardPlaza project. Instead of traditional imagery, our imagined banknotes feature art, architecture, people, landscapes, and scenes that hold special meaning for us.

The result is a small series of our own "banknotes" in denominations of €10, €20, €50, €100, and €200. Each has its own colour, character, and story, yet they are all united by the same idea:

ARTE • MEMORIA • ISPIRAZIONE
Art. Memory. Inspiration.

Of course, we are fully aware that our designs are unlikely to make it onto the European Central Bank's shortlist. 😊 We didn't create them with that ambition, nor do we intend to submit them.

We created them because we believe that serious work and creativity are not mutually exclusive.

Quite the opposite.

StandardPrva is built on law, finance, accounting, investment, and entrepreneurship. But we believe that a company is about much more than balance sheets, contracts, and business results. It is also shaped by ideas, culture, art, people, and the energy we bring to work every single day.

So this Friday, we let creativity take the lead.

The result is five entirely unofficial, artistic interpretations of euro banknotes that made the end of an intense working week just a little more inspiring.

They may never enter circulation, but they reminded us of something far more valuable:

The best ideas sometimes emerge when we simply allow ourselves to play.

One House. Every Answer. And, apparently, the occasional banknote born from imagination. 😄
