Draga & Aurel
Italian furniture brand Draga & Aurel was conceived by a dynamic duo: textile and fashion designer Draga Obradovic and graphic artist and wood sculptor Aurel K. Basedow. Their multidisciplinary backgrounds empowered them to create highly original contemporary furniture and lighting. Basedow’s explorations of resin casting — applying colorful epoxy resins and pigments to walls, furniture and design items — has produced extraordinary pieces when upholstered with Draga’s exquisite fabrics.
Obradovic was born in Serbia in 1964 and moved to Italy in 1984 to pursue a degree in painting from the Florence Academy of Fine Arts. She began her career in fashion as a model but quickly became fascinated with creating womenswear, where she discovered an interest in fabric patterns. Her love of textiles allowed her to create fashion concepts by achieving a union between fine art and couture.
Basedow was born in Germany in 1963. After three years as a woodworking apprentice, he decided to change his career trajectory. Moving to Italy in 1986, he enrolled as a student at the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, where he met Obradovic. He obtained his degree in graphic arts in 1989 from the Milan Academy of Fine Arts, while pursuing a fervent interest in African drums.
After more than two decades of living together and developing a shared passion for contemporary art and design, they opened their Draga & Aurel atelier in Como, Italy, in 2007. The duo’s unique collaboration with Baxter — cleverly reinventing vintage furniture finds by deconstructing and rebuilding them with new components such as textiles and handles — brought them notoriety in the interior design world. Other successful collaborations with Visionnaire furniture and the wallpaper brand Wall&Deco garnered international recognition.
