Konavle is the southernmost Croatian region that counts 33 smaller and bigger villages. Konavle’s urban core is a small town Cavtat whose harmonic complex witnesses centuries-old belonging to the Republic of Dubrovnik. Beside natural diversity and architectural historic heritage, what gives people and Konavle area a special touch are traditional folk costumes and embroidery. Recognition and geometry of Konavle embroidery as a basic decorative element provided its further stylization and reinterpretation.
The main sign is made of 33 squares, of which each represents one of the villages & together they create harmonious pieces. Achieved presence and interconnection of all of the Konavle areas preserved heritage uniqueness in a modern way.
Color palette was inspired by Konavle folk costumes and embroidery as well as natural beauties and rich historic heritage. For the purposes of the destination of Cavtat-Konavle visual identity, a custom-made typography, inspired by an inscription from Saint Đurđ church in Cavtat (the oldest monument on that location) was made. For the accompanying quote ... where life is a simple pleasure, a script typography that evokes freedom & non-encumbrance of living in Konavle was chosen.
