The interior designer is known for producing “out
of the box” projects and he becomes this versatile
by being so inspired by the everyday things, by art,
fashion, music, movies, history and, of course, peo-
ple. It is all about the things that surround us, one
just has to truly pay attention to it. When asked
what best describes his work style, the designer
said “mix and match of very different elements and
styles are the basis of my work … “I adore colours
and patterns. Colours are emotions, patterns are
able to open a new dimension of the surface - smart
interaction of both creates fantastic atmosphere in
the interior.” For the designer, every project should
have a narrative, should tell a unique and awe-in-
spiring story, to take advantage of the now and
translate it into design. Košutić’s speciality lies on
designing one-of-a-kind furniture pieces, carpets
or wallpapers for particular projects, but not only
that, he also makes sure that their understanding
for the client’s vision and the nature of the task
itself are clearly reflected in the final product. Al-
together, his work is quite personal, contempo-
rary and artistic. In regards to keeping up-to-date
with trends, sometimes he prefers going the clas-
sical route while others opting for something new
and trendier, but overall his projects end up being
a mixture of both. For him, it is crucial to always
find the right way to create a story, taking into the
consideration the specifications of a certain project.
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW //
He believes that “The real challenge is putting
them in a very unconventional context and cre-
ating some completely new and unique composi-
tions. I`m not obsessed by trend itself but also very
aware of it. The spirit of the time should be clearly
noticeable in my projects. We are not allowed to
keep standing, we have move and develop all the
time trying to create new trends.” In addition,
Košutić is not a firm believer in long-term planning
as he prefers to accept challenges as they came and
truly embrace them! Moving on to recent projects,
Denis Košutić enlightened us a little bit more about
his latest project, “The idea was to view over the
roofs of Vienna and feeling the intellectual spirit of
Paris and the coolness of the NYC Park Avenue at
the same time.”
In conclusion, the designer leaves a positive mes-
sage for the design world: “Designers have an im-
portant possibility and also a purpose to make the
world beautiful and to help people to live in a qual-
itative environment. The influence of the interiors
in which we live, work, shop or eat is immense and
we should use it in a positive way. And never be
afraid, just do it.”
