I recently came across Greek design firm 157 +173 Designers founded by Babis Papanikolaou and Christina Tsiragelou who both studied architecture and set up their studio in Thessaloniki. Their goal is to, “Design and manufacture products of unique aesthetic value and quality. All ideas are meticulously tested and redrawn before they are finally converted into full scale objects, destined both for extensive production and/or for limited edition release, but always with the care of a handmade object.” I really like their wood lighting, it’s quirky and I appreciate that their design has a sense of humor.
You can purchase a few of their pieces at French shop Serendipity in case you are interested.

Hi Holly – I recently had the privilege of reviewing your lovely book, Decorate. I had to keep forcing myself to slow down because each page was so pretty I couldn’t wait to get to the next. Truly – amazing job. You can find my review here Thanks, Ashley
