Thessaloniki Tourist Information Center
The design of the interior space of the touristic information kiosk of municipality of Thessaloniki, was based on a human-centric approach, where the most important issues as design guidelines were the visitor’s navigation, the quick understanding (at a glance) of the space, the ease of access on all given information, the ability to make the proper choice and to interact with it, so finally the visitor, user of this public space, to obtain an “experience of visiting the Information Center”. Ergonomics, safety, accessibility, daylight, a welcoming atmosphere and proper working conditions were also at my design requirements.
Brainfood bookmarks approach reading activity as "food for the brain" and with a humoristic way they are shaped in spoon, fork and knife! They are formed in thin transparent plexiglass with an also partly transparent image, so they let you see through them the letters of your page.
Depending on the genre you read, you may choose the appropriate BRAINFOOD bookmarker. The spoon shaped is highly recommended for romance novels, classic stories and all kind of manuals. The knife is to accompany your mystery readings, sci fi, comedies and short stories. Finally, you 'll find the fork shaped bookmarker suitable for poetry, books on the supernatural, biographies, as well as books on history and philosophy.

Louvre Light
I was trying to find an image that represents the greek summer and to transform that in an object. Big sun, endless blue sea, clean sand, islands, transparent water. It was then about to remind myself of the very very first image that anyone has when he wakes up in Greece at summer time. Is the sunlight passes easily even from the closed shutters through louvres. This is the idea behind Louvre light, bright light passes through material without casting any shadows on itself either on the surfaces around, including a playful attitude at the same time. Chosen materials are the plexiglass, with different heights, half of them passed from sandblasting process for different diffusion effect, and the cork, all cutted in rings using a laser cutter machine. Changing their order accordingly the user defines the volume and the diffusion of the light, plus the aesthetic of the table lamp. There are endless combinations, playful user's experience, simple interaction, total control and safety.
