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.
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.
