His thesis project, Elemental Cabinet, brought him international recognition and positioned him among the most promising designers of his generation. On returning to Greece, he established his own studio, where he remains deeply engaged in the hands-on production of his works. Driven by a fascination with materials and construction techniques, he develops original theoretical research on the meaning of these processes. Since its debut, Elemental Cabinet has been included innumerous group exhibitions, including at the Fondation Cartier in Paris. His first major solo exhibition was presented at Carpenters Workshop Gallery Paris in 2021.
