or: one cappuccino, Claudio Baglioni, Saturday afternoon, and the creative strategies of the designer duo bilić_müller

authors Tina Müller, Dora Bilić

Writing about the kinds of social and creative activities that are traditionally called ‘design’ in the Croatian language and culture is not easy, after all. But it can be nice and inspiring, it fills the lungs with impressions and arouses motivating thoughts. That usually happens when I write about the works of the duo bilic_muller, which I am not inclined to see nowadays as being inside the ordinary boundaries of the term ‘design’. Most of this text will be coloured by a personal tone, first-person narratives, many personal memories and reminiscences.
