    Christos Tsigaras About me

    Biography

    Christos Tsigaras established his personal studio in 2012, specialized in Architecture, interior design, industrial design & construction management.

    His 16 years previously acquired building and interior design construction management in ISV Architects, combined with industrial design expertise, constant design and continuous search for new materials and their functionality, form his studio.

    Widely thinking and with sound understanding of the process of design and construction, he has created contemporary and bold ideas focusing on simplicity.

    As Leonardo da Vinci said; simplicity equals expertise.

    His foremost credentials amongst others, expect from the combination of the ‘hardware’ of construction management and the ‘software’ of design, materiality and creativity, is the refined detail, which is solved a priori.

    He has participated in many international exhibitions and contests, and he has been awarded, in recent years, several Red Dot Design and A Design Awards.
