The international jury voted two products from the Eternel collection excellent – the dining table and the bar cabinet. We are lucky that this collection received such professional recognition.
Great news for the creative team behind the Milla&Milli brand – there’s no greater recognition than this one. We are sharing a part of the letter that the brand received from Dr. Peter Zec, the founder of Red Dot.
“The events of last year truly underscored the importance of communication and the way it is designed. Our jury was amazed by the quality of the submissions to the Red Dot Award: Brands & Communication Design 2021. The fact that you managed to stand out in such a strong and international field of competitors and impress the experts is proof of your design skill. Your award-winning project is outstanding.”
Dr. Peter Zec, founder & CEO, Red Dot
We are almost speechless due to the pride we feel because The German Design Council awarded two prizes for the entire Milla&Milli brand.
Gold for Milla&Milli in the category Excellent Brands – Interior & Living
Winner for Milla&Milli in the category Excellent Brands – Newcomer Brand of the Year
“The Milla&Milli furniture brand is very impressive, with a contemporary philosophy reflected clearly in the furniture’s design as well as in its communication. It is fantastic how this fondness for nature can be experienced by customers with all their senses. A premium brand that was developed with determination and that perfectly balances a focus on nature and sustainability with aesthetics while possessing a high degree of credibility,” said the jury in their reasoning for awarding the ‘Gold’ distinction.
We are extremely proud to be a part of the Archiproducts Milano 2021 project. The entire Waves collection will be exhibited throughout the period of 1 year at Via Tortona 31, in the interior designed by Studio Salaris.
Archiproducts Milano 2021 is a manifesto for the living space of the future. It is an interactive and multimedia journey to the soft side of technology, promoting a new understanding of sharing spaces in a ‘new normal’ that is sustainable, beautiful and comfortable.
Another important recognition for the Waves Bar Cabinet comes from Germany, from the German Design Council. The German Design Council is one of the world’s leading centres of design expertise. It was established by the Federation of German Industries and leading companies in 1953 as an initiative of the German federal parliament. The German Design Council extends the general public’s understanding of design, including beyond Germany, and has an important interface role internationally.
Great news for our Bloom sideboard – it’s been spotted in fantastic company. Not only is the professional jury impressive but the authors of the awarded works are outstanding. We are honoured that our Bloom sideboard was recognized in the company of the best products.
We are more than proud to be the recipients of the HDD’s special recognition this year as well. This year’s recognition is in the category of ”Integrated project/Product” and it is of great importance to us. The entire brand Milla&Milli, all its aspects – from furniture and visual communication to stands and film, impressed the jury. This year’s competition has been the greatest one so far, which makes us even more honoured by the jury’s decision.
Except for the Milla&Milli project, the online exhibition 19/20 contains the Submarine Project, as well as Bloom, Offset and Waves furniture collections.
Already 7 years have passed since the beginning of Vizkultura – the top national web portal for culture & arts.
Upon the 7th anniversary, to single out merely 7 postings which marked those 7 years, the main editor of Vizkultura – Ivan Dorotić – took upon himself this, as he called it, toughest task ever. One of the projects that he specifically pointed out was Vizkultura’s Plakatiranje (=Postering), which has resulted in the design of over 240 posters so far.
Among his favourite posters, he singled out the one by Maša Vukmanović – Kulturna zabit [Cultural Boondocks] – as the one that hit the spot. As Dorotić himself says, this particular poster is ‘a pretty good metaphor of the idea that Postering was aiming for, and often succeeded in achieving; through the designers’ language, their visual elaborations and artistic concepts to address the current topics in society.‘
We wish Vizkultura Happy 7th Birthday and thank them for such a lovely treat, because this, for us, in a way means more than hitting the lucky 7!

At the beginning of summer, we already reported as Maša’s design trio – Maša Vukmanović + Jelena Lukač Kirš + Jakov Šrajer – was riding the wave of success with their design for Croatian furniture brand Milla & Milli.
This October it became apparent, not once, but twice, that the aforementioned success of the Waves bar cabinet wasn’t a fluke, as it received two more design awards within the same week – the BigSEE Product Design Award 2019 and the BigSEE Wood Award 2019, which are given for the best product design pieces in South-East Europe, the region with over 340 million people that is considered to be one of the most creative in the world.
In addition to that, the trio was invited to give a lecture as part of the BigSEE Lectures 180° in Ljubljana. On that occasion, the three of them brought the crowd to speed with the complete Waves bar cabinet’s creation process.
And since both Maša and Jelena were born in October, also within one week, this was truly a unique birthday gift for them!

Red Dot Award is regarded as the world’s most prominent award for industrial, product and communication design. At the beginning of July this year, product design trio Maša Vukmanović + Jelena Lukač Kirš + Jakov Šrajer rode the wave of success yet again – at the gala ceremony in Essen, Germany the trio was presented with this prestigious design award!
In the sea of more than 5500 works by the world’s top-notch designers, Maša and her team took home this valuable accolade thanks to another fruitful collaboration with Croatian design furniture brand Milla & Milli, produced by Mundus Viridis, this time for the Waves bar cabinet design.
With that in mind, it is clear why at the award ceremony this furniture design piece called for a proper toast!
