“From a young age, Serbian designer Irena Kilibarda exuded an unrivaled creative ability, which translated into her pursuit of a degree from the Belgrade Faculty of Architecture. Initially, Irena focused on interior and light design, however, through her courses she developed an expertise for product design as well. With the help of her sister Iva, Irena founded her own product and interior design studio, dsignedby., in 2008, and has established herself as a well-known, innovative and respected designer ever since.”

“Irena believes that design should always be both functional and beautiful. For her, the two factors should never have to be mutually exclusive. To achieve both, she deems an artist has to be patient, detail-oriented, and creative in their engineering and that is how Irena approaches each and every piece. Instead of seeking out new projects, Irena receives inspiration through current projects, new materials, and lifestyle trends to create diverse and challenging designs, which have been recognized worldwide.”
