For, the twin values of function and beauty must be present in all good design. In 2008, when she founded her own product and interior design company designedby., she was set on creating products that fulfill both pragmatic and aesthetic objectives.

Specialising in highly advanced LED and OLED technology, designedby. produces statement furniture and products that are informed and inspired by Kilibarda’s architectural design background (she is a Belgrade University Architectureal Faculty alum)—simple and classic.

The latest product from designedby. is KITCH’ T, a new compact kitchen solution. Working around the idea of the award-winning Table T, which the company launched earlier, Kilibarda and team developed Kitch’ t—a kitchen solution buttressed by the idea of cooking, social interaction, and bringing people together by design.

Kitch’ t is an all-in-one piece that can be easily transported from one location to another, and is easily adapted to the user’s needs. Everything is fitted beneath the worktop eliminating the need for upper cabinet space.

The system is made of Corian® Du PontTM material and is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. It comes in a range of colors and finishes. Incorporation of solid wood standing part and customization are available on demand.
