Eccentricity – Design from the Off-Centre

On Monday, 16 November 2026, at 19:00, Collegium Artisticum opens the exhibition Eccentricity – Design from the Off-Centre, on view until 30 November.

The exhibition explores contemporary design and the design heritage of the former Yugoslav republics, focusing on radical, unconventional approaches that deliberately break or question established standards. The terms eccentricity and off-centre describe both the nature of these creative methods and the position of regional design cultures in relation to the so-called centres of design.

It spans work from the 1960s to the present by more than 100 designers, studios and artists from Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, arranged in 12 chapters. The exhibition was previously shown at the European Design Festival in Ljubljana and in Split.

It is organised by Fundacija Brumen, ULUPUBiH, Collegium Artisticum and the Croatian Designers Association. The chief curator is Marko Golub, with a curatorial team of Slavimir Stojanović, Bojan Hadžihalilović, Vanesa Prodanović Durmišević, Nataša Vuga and Tanja Radež. The Sarajevo presentation is supported by Amsal and R&S.
