Our goal was to create a place that has a laid-back atmosphere, even exuding ease and lightness. Nothing should be obtrusive so that the materials and furniture can tell their own stories. We combined weathered surfaces, furniture and fabrics that were handmade and produced by traditional methods, vintage pieces from Athen’s flea markets and dealers of antique building materials. For example, the wall behind the reception is composed of old shutters – an homage to Greece.
