basic room
4ROOMS project, La Società delle Api, Kastellorizo / 2022
few words
i am an islander, just like the room I chose to design in Kastellorizo -the closest island to my island
the sun in my part of the world is ruthless, the soil dry, and the scrublands an extension of the sea: an earthy palette was unavoidable
my mother recalls still sleeping in a tubular iron high bed, even after her engagement in the mid-seventies
my aunts live next to each other and share the same rectangular display cabinet, made by two different carpenters
memories and stories of objects I grew up with furnish the room
vernacular furniture designs are reinterpreted and infused with sculptural elements
sometimes, materials become the objects themselves
in the countryside, the round polished fiberglass porch tables reflect the moon;
I'm working around that too
