Contemporary Design in Split
The reconstruction and renewed use of the Croatian House opened up a new chapter for the building—and for contemporary design in Split. With the reopening came new needs and opportunities, including a wayfinding system and a new institutional logo, followed by posters and digital materials for the many events held here.
Key figures
These projects created a fertile ground for local designers. The design duo Kazionti & Komenda created the spatial signage, visual identity, posters, and program booklets for the first two seasons, after which Mile Modić took over the design of posters and flyers and continues to produce striking event posters to this day. Continue to discover how the Croatian Home—its forms, history, and atmosphere—inspired their visual language and design expression.
Programme Posters
Since the season 2023/2024, the distinctive visual identity of the programme—marked by strong contrasts and striking typography—has been skillfully shaped by designer Mile Modić. The result is a series of posters that bring a contemporary interpretation of Art Nouveau charm into the urban space and the streets of Split.
Wayfinding & Signange
The elegant signage for the Concert Hall of the Croatian Home in Split, created by Kazinoti & Komenda design team, draws inspiration from the building’s interior.
Monogram
The idea of the monogram was taken from the wall decorations in the main hall, with integrated graphic lines as a metaphor for strings and music sheets.
Use of Typography
Delavard font, designed by Croatian designer and typographer Nikola Đurek, is based on nineteenth-century Art Nouveau posters. Typography reflects elements of space - the connecting baselines of the gold letters resemble the shape and color of staircase rails.
