Zürich's LionsBee Studio from Zürich Unveils a Bold New Project

'Belgrade Residence' is the result of Dusa Bibus’ and her studio LionsBee's three years of work, which focused on creating a downtown epicenter of cultural events and gatherings. Its interior is so unique and eclectic that it is the first of its kind in the Serbian capital.

The main salon and the entire ambiance of the space invites you to reflect, reconsider, and discuss. There is also a strong presence of duality: feminine and masculine principles. The most pronounced female form is in the pink sofa of Vladimir Kagan, a Russian who fled to the United States where he became one of the most respected furniture designers. The sofa was first made for an American couple who were great collectors of art. Kagan's task was to make a sofa that would fit into their interior, full of paintings. Belgrade Residence is located in the historical city center overlooking the National Museum and emphasizes a strong connection with art and culture.

The starting point of the interior design concept was the painting "Tri žene planine" (Three women-mountains), which occupies the most prominent place in the apartment. The author is Serbian painter Kosara Bokšan, and the painting was created in Paris in the sixties, as a symbol of women’s emancipation and awakening.
