The Winner

RMIT Young Designer Competition winner Dusko Lapcevic was born in Novi Sad, Serbia. His family migrated to Australia when he was four years old, setting their sights on Adelaide, where Dusko grew up watching his parents continuously creating things. Their can-do attitude continues to inspire Dusko, who is driven by the urge to make things.

“Great design inspires me,” he says. “A curiosity to understand the real needs of the user and the desire to create a product that provides an elegant solution.”

The pieces in the collection are designed to be flexible, easily transforming into multiple configurations that accommodate the varied ways we sit, lounge, recline and sleep.

The proof of his talent is in your hands: the Dusko Collection from Smith, due for release in Clark Rubber stores nationally from February 2008.
