Petokraka is an independent creative practice founded in Belgrade, Serbia, by architects Aleksa Bijelović and Milica Maksimović.
A place of interdisciplinary actions and cross-disciplinary methodologies, with a wide array of interests and themes, Petokraka aims to create new experiences by open interpretation of every task — creating spaces, objects, and situations that draw the users into new relationships enabling them to make their own story-line. The broad field of actions spans through domains of interior architecture and adaptive reuse, exhibition design and spatial installations, object design, visual art, identity and graphic design.
Since 2004 Petokraka has been working with the great support of the diverse team of graphic designers, architects, illustrators, photographers and art historians.
