About us
Studio OBE was founded as a result of many years of cooperation on a number of projects with a mutual desire that each project tells its own story through architectural design. This multidisciplinary Belgrade studio, founded by Jasna Kavran and Ksenija Pantović, deals with architectural, interior and furniture design projects in the field of architecture of residential, business and catering facilities, with close cooperation with graphic designers, artists and associates from other fields.
The design methodology of Studio OBE is based on the idea that each project is unique and requires a specific approach with close cooperation with investors which results in the design of maximally functional spaces aligned to the specific needs of its users.
