The Inspired by You contest was organized by Samsung and Studio 22 from Zagreb, to promote the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 phone. They wanted for creatives to present a design solution for a unique phone accessory. I designed a modern belt case for the phone, that met all the criteria the jury was looking for in a winner solution: creativity, functionality, excellent presentation of the project, and an accessory that is a real fashion statement. I’m proud to say that the most awarded Serbian graphic designer Slavimir Stojanović Futro, and one of the best Serbian photographers Katarina Batuta Višekruna were on the jury.

While working on the solution I was thinking about people’s habits, how they use the phone, how they carry it, and which challenges there are that can be answered. That accessory should be something practical, and useful. Phones are often targets of pickpocketing, so special attention was paid to the aspect of security.  I was also inspired by the shape of the phone because it can be folded into a more compact case. In the end, I wanted the accessory to follow the aesthetics of the phone and to be fashionable.
