Handmade Wooden Creations
The Start
I was born in Piraeus, but when I was 10 years old I moved to Syros.
I grew up there, with this beautiful yet arid land of the Cyclades at my feet.
The sparkle
After finishing high school, I studied "Design & Technology of Wood and Furniture" in Karditsa. A city in the plains, very close to wonderful landscapes, something that made me appreciate even more the beauty and simplicity of nature.
The school, on the other hand, made me appreciate wood—a raw material with many qualities and unique beauty—to a degree I never expected.
Born from the ashes
For a short period of time, I worked in the industrial furniture sector. There I realized how many small pieces of wood were considered "useless" and left unused. That's when the idea came to me to dedicate myself to something of my own.
I wanted to create something different and unique.
Something inextricably connected to nature.
Something that would utilize the "useless" little pieces of wood.
Something that would highlight the diversity and peculiarities of the different wood species.
The beginning of the end
So that's how I started, and through many difficulties, pleasant and unpleasant situations, the moment has come to present my own works here!
But I've only just begun... The best is yet to come.
