    Biography

    Christos Tsigaras founded his own studio in 2012, specializing in architecture, interior design, and industrial design.

    After 16 years of collaboration with the architectural firm ISV, serving as a Construction Manager, he combined extensive experience and quality with a constant pursuit of new materials, functionality, and above all, simplicity.
    With an open mind and a deep understanding of the design process, he creates bold, original, and meaningful ideas.
