THE FIRST ROUND WINNERS OF THE YOUNG BALKAN DESIGNERS COMPETITION ANNOUNCED!
Cultural organization Mikser from Belgrade, furniture manufacturer Nunc from Slavonia (Croatia) are proud to announce the winners of the 1st round of the special edition of Young Balkan Designers competition which will be presented at the exhibition “Young Balkan Designers: HERE AND NOW” from 11 to 18 October at the Faculty of Forestry in Belgrade.
The members of the competition Jury, consisting of renowned international and regional design experts, Marva Griffin, Henriette Waal, Nikola Radeljković, Jelena Matić, and Maja Lalić, selected 60 projects from 14 countries of the region, to present the full potential of the regional creative scene.The selected projects successfully responded to the call of the competition under the slogan “Here and now” to provide innovative, sustainable, flexible solutions for spaces where the worlds of living, working, playing and exchange increasingly overlap and dynamically change.
The expert team of the Nunc company will select projects among the exhibited works that will be developed into products in the coming months and presented at the International Furniture Fair in Milan in April 2024, as a part of their regular production program. Nunc owes its witty and refreshing approach to design to the cooperation with emerging designers from all over the region, many of whom made their debut on the international stage through the Young Balkan Designers platform.
This unique example of regional cooperation between the creative, academic, and manufacturing sectors makes up for the lack of institutional support for young talents in further training and employment in the sector, but also significantly contributes to the regional exchange of young professionals and their visibility on the international stage.
