ATREIDES YACHT

The Atreides yacht is designed with the purpose of solving the problem of

fear of the deep and to enable people safe swimming and enjoyment in the

middle of the ocean without having to worry about any sea creatures. At the

back of the yacht there is a frame that forms the base of the swimming pool.

When the button is pressed, the frame slowly starts to emerge and the boards

that are connected with a zig-zag pattern slowly start forming the floor of the

pool.The front part of the yacht represents speed, the tight form and the lines

that disappear at the ends, both signify the need for speed which this yacht

does indeed offer. The back of the yacht, however, is completely dedicated

to resting and fun while the yacht is parked out on the ocean.

This shows the variation of

lights on the yacht. Depending

on the need, they can all be

turned on or just the ambient

lights can be used for creat-

ing a comfortable atmosphere

while people are in the jacuzzi

or the pool. The back part of

the yacht is also designed

in such a way as to allow for

maximum pleasure and pri-

vacy – the glass is made from

smart materials so that it can

be tinted as needed or made

into windows.

DIONE TEA SET

The teacup is made up of two hemispheres.

Between the hemispheres is a thin net which

prevents the tea leaves from entering the

cup. While the aroma from the tea leaves

is mixed with hot water, the cup is covered

with the top hemisphere, preventing the

aroma from evaporating into the air. After 3

minutes, when the tea leaves have released

their flavor, the tea cup is ready to be flipped

180 degrees and the leaves will be sepa-

rated from the tea. All that is needed is one

hand movement in order for the leaves to be

separated from the liquid, in other words, for

the tea to enter into one hemisphere from

the other without spilling.

FIREFLY TABLE

Firefly is a table designed for the outdoor parts of restaurants, cafes or even homes.This

table does not have a need for candles as it has an inbuilt lamp that charges during the

day using solar power. During the day, the lamp is located inside the middle radius of

the table. When night comes, the top part of the lamp is pressed, the lamp pops out

and begins to shed light across the entire top of the table. The bottom part of the lamp

is located above the stencil of the cafes choice (or the choice of the producers of the

table) so that the text or logo is projected onto the foot of the table. The innovation of this

design is the fusion of the functionality of the table, superb form and the message that

the lamp projects onto the foot of the table. That message can be anything, from the

logo or slogan of a firm (since we are in a predominantly advertising era) to an intimate

message, picture or symbol.

BALANSO

The design of the Kalla silverware and

napkin holder was inspired by its name-

sake fl ower. Further stylization of this

elegant object achieved the shape of

a folded napkin. The insertion of a real

napkin created a distinct resemblance

to a petal-wrapped bloom. The material

capable of achieving such demanding

postulates, competent to reach imme-

diate connection with the fl ower, was

corian. The clean texture, color and

mere elegance of corian nourish Kalla’s

tenderness. Apart from the apparent

esthetic advantages, Kalla is exception-

ally functional – corian does not detain

any bacteria and is easy to clean, which

is particularly advantageous for tools

used at the dinner table, where hygiene

comes fi rst.

PUPPO

The PUPPO chair is intended for interiors with a smaller surface area. Target

customers are young people who wish to save on the space in their living areas.

Students, for example, would be able to save a lot of space in their dorms, while

still having several pieces of furniture all in one, depending on their needs. In just

a couple of steps, the PUPPO chair transforms from a chair into a small table or

footrest, or even a box that can be used for storage or making life easier when

moving into another dorm.

LINEA

Inspired by a gyroscope, the aim of this lamp was to merge

elegance with the functionality of a workspace. The double

axes enable 360 rotation of the LED light with a single stroke.

The metal part of the lamp is a sensor: when touched, the

lamp will switch on/off, whereas moving the finger across the

surface controls the intensity of the light.

CREAM

Creamy yet light, the shape of this lamp is meant to connect the tastes and smells with

our visual senses be it a coffee shop, restaurant, or hotel. The warm lights provide for an

intimate, mystic atmosphere.

Bike ID

The cycling umbrella holder and protection for pants are made

out of leather. Both products are lined with magnets, which

helps the sides connect around the leg or bycicle tube easier.

The cyclist can clip the products with one hand while keeping

the other one on the handlebar grip, remaining focused on

the road.

PLUS

Commissioned by the City of Belgrade, this battery-recycling bin was

designed to be interactive and evoke interest among the public. Once a

used battery is disposed through the opening in the plus sign, a sensor

detects it and plant seeds are ejected through an opening in the minus

sign. Therefore, citizens are awarded for recycling, but the award itself is

environmentally friendly as well. The seed can be dropped anywhere for

the plant to grow.

DRINA PLASTIKA

Soap tray, box, toothbrush holder, toilet paper stack

Drina plastika is a Serbian local mass manufac-

turer of affordable plastic household products.

This is a series of projects I developed for the

company in its attempt to refresh their image

while maintaining low production costs. To that

end, the main challenge was to design objects

to be produced from a single mold.
