The exhibition of the designer Maša Vukmanović “Design Narrative” was opened in the Montenegrin art gallery “Miodrag Dado Đurić” in Cetinje. At the exhibition organized by the National Museum of Montenegro, a large number of projects were presented, from branding and graphic design to products, furniture and spatial design.
The curator of the exhibition, art historian Snežana Ivović, said that the works were created over a period of ten years and were presented through six different thematic units: Hotel Priča, Kokošvaroš, Culture, Science, Technology and Furniture.
-Technically conceived through various media – prints, monographs, magazines, pieces of furniture – already at first glance reflect the wide range and variety of design interests of Maša Vukmanović. Refined and clear designer-artistic handwriting imposes on the observer the impression of perfectionism, imagination, ease of execution and extremely professional approach in all areas and types of design – said Ivović and added that the basis of all design units is a deep, studious consideration of the concept, which has one common feature, that each work has its own story.
Maša Vukmanović was born in Paris in 1979. After high school, he completed design studies at the Faculty of Architecture in Zagreb, majoring in product design. He started his career during his studies, working both on visual communication projects for various cultural manifestations, and on his first products for Cedevita.
