He possesses intensely blue eyes, crystal-clear ideas, and profound expertise in his chosen medium: wood.

Antonis started his journey with solid wood in London before establishing himself amidst the serene landscapes of Normandy and the outskirts of Paris.

Not far from the expansive carpentry workshop he co-manages, in a modest room adorned with aromatic shavings and facing an open window, Antonis has arranged his lathe. Here, at his discretion, he transforms discarded wood fragments into everyday objects.
