Are there certain clichés in interior design that you would
Interview by DESPOINA SAMPSON
like to see abolished?
In the past two decades, we have seen radical changes in the
way people express themselves through the decoration of their
personal space. We avoid overburdening a space for reasons of
ostentation – a stereotype we are happy to see disappearing.
When we design a cottage, for example, we avoid focusing sole-
ly on the building itself and ignoring its surroundings, which
would result in a non-harmonious combination.
How do you approach a new project, say a holiday residence?
Every space and every project is unique. It is the owner’s aesthet-
ic that we respond to in order to design it. But there are some
values that permeate all our work. Our design philosophy does
not allow for excess and meaningless displays of opulence. On
the contrary, we aim to harmonise each building with its sur-
roundings in order to enhance the beauty of the general area.
What is the greatest challenge to the new generation of de-
sign entrepreneurs, of which you are part?
Maintaining the passion for creation with no loss of momen-
tum. Not sacrificing innovation and ideas no matter of the
signs of the times. 
