Engineering School
University project for design management (brand design) course. Our goal was to design a strong image for the new engineering school which is going to be created and use that image to propose an attractive new web site. The school embodies three departments with similar philosophy, so our design is trying to unite the three departments in one common image, as well as seperating them as part of the same thing using different colours for each department.

UrchinLamp
The Urchin Lamp is a prototype of a project worked during my internship at We design studio. It aims to be extremeley low cost being made entirely out of one sheet (50x70 cm) of recycled cardboard. It produces a very warm and cozy effect by letting light out of the cardboard's structure. Thus when it's off it feels like an opaque and monolithic form, but when on it comes to life by adding ambient light to a room. The concept was to create an organic form out of laser cut cardboard profiles glued together. Its elipsoid shape gradualy decreasing in size helps to reduce the material used by fitting one profile to another.

Athens Bench
This is my participation at the athens bench mark international competition for the next Athens bench. The design is composed of two basic elements: a metal profile that acts as the load bearing structure, and the wooden planks tha act as the seat. The idea was to design the metal profile in a way that gives the impression that the seat is floating above the ground. Also by bolting the profiles at the middle of the planks enhances the impression of the floating seat and lets the bench to expand (by adding other benches horizontaly or verticaly and custom finnishing the planks accordingly) to a continuous urban furniture creating urban living rooms.

Opap
This project is a proposition for the reception and the cashier's desk of a small lotery shop. The main problems were the lack of space and budget. So the proposed design tries to maximize the use of space with extra storage space while keeping the working sits comfortable for two persons. The whole furniture is made out of plywood sheets and all the surfaces are designed in order to be cut out of a few sheets.
