About us!
The designers’ platform It’s all, oh so souvenir to me!, brings under the same umbrella the interpretations of over 60 Greek designers to the question: “What would Greece be, if it were a souvenir”.
The result portrays a line of objects with different utilitarian value, materials, ideas and concepts, all with a focus on Greece.
Different views, backgrounds, experiences and perspectives come together in an attempt to redefine the design and meaning of the traditional Greek souvenir!
The designers use their own design “language”, their own means of expression and Greek materials, in order to create the Greek souvenir. They are inspired by Greece and by the different social, political and cultural issues that they consider to define the new, modern Greek identity and image.
