Do you remember when I told you – if you are following Belgrade Flapper, you definitely qualify to participate in “Young Balkan Designers” competition?

I hope that you believed me and that your name is on the list of the winners. Fourteen designers from 5 countries were selected (Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece and Bulgaria) to represent creative potential of the region in Milan Design Fair in April. After that, they will all come back to Belgrade for Mikser Festival in May, followed by a European tour.

Total of eleven projects were selected by the jury out of almost 400 entries submitted by young designers and architects. I am almost sure you are not familiar with their names, but I am going to announce all the winners anyway – in case some of them become world famous designers, please remember where you heard their names first:

Dimitrios Stamatakis (Greece) – floor lamp
Dragana Petkov (Serbia) - chair
Ivana Borovnjak and Roberta Bratović (Croatia) - table
Jelena Pančevac (Serbia) - table
Maja Mesić (Croatia) - carpet
Maša Milovac, Mia Bogovac and Dora Durkesac (Croatia) – serving plate/table
Miljana Nikolić (Serbia) - swing
Neira Sinanbašić (Bosnia and Herzegovina) – hanger
Petar Zaharinov (Bulgaria) – shelf system
Ranka Radović (Bosnia and Herzegovina) – bookshelf marker
Vukašin Vukobratović (Serbia) – hanger

Congratulations!
