The first monograph to explore the singular career, philosophy and work of one of Australia’s leading female designers, 'Visnja Brdar: Design Exalted' accompanied Brdar’s first museum exhibition. Designed by Brdar herself, the publication features newly commissioned writing from leading design historians, curators and writers alongside a career chronology and visual documentation of 200+ projects from the past 37 years spanning lifestyle, fashion, beauty, art, architecture & jewellery. From 1990s Melbourne to 2000s New York and up to the present, the publication positions Brdar’s work within its Australian, international, design and broader cultural contexts, revealing the through-lines of the designer’s dynamic, entrepreneurial and intuition-led practice.
