Coming from Serbia- the heart of the Balkan peninsula- to Denmark, I have started to notice many differences in these two cultures. Being a design student, the most interesting difference for me was how people perceive aesthetics in a different way.

Therefore, in my point of view, Scandinavian simplicity stands opposite to the Balkans' symbolic complexity. These differences seems to be obvious; but then I wondered: what if I try to find similarities among them?. This search led me to study traditional crafts and architecture of Scandinavia and the Balkans, travel throughout Serbia, Denmark and Sweden in order to meet the locals and learn the crafts from the best.
