Golden ruins


Golden Ruins is an collection that translates the architectural language of the classical fluted column into a series of functional objects: a floor lamp, desk lamp, stackable stools and long bench.

The collection is defined by a deliberate material irony. While the pieces radiate a gilded brilliance, the surfaces are transient—designed to weather and evolve over time. By presenting "ruins" in a deceptive, changing gold, the collection offers a subtle meditation on the image of modern Greece. It is a collection that asks, rather than answers, whether the luster of a glorious past can truly be sustained in the light of the present.

Each work is unique, produced in a limited edition of 8 and authenticated by an engraved edition number.
