Charitini Gkritzali
Charitini Gkritzali is a designer and architect from Athens, Greece. She holds a Diploma in Architecture Engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (2018), and a Master in Design for Luxury and Craftsmanship from ÉCAL – École Cantonale d’Art de Lausanne (2023). She has received the De Bethune Award for the work she conducted during her studies at ÉCAL and the Jewellery Design award by Artsthread Global Graduate Design Show in collaboration with Gucci for her project “Topology of a Body”. Her personal portfolio includes collaborations with Hermès, De Bethune, La Prairie and Dedon. Prior to establishing her own practice, she collaborated with Note Design Studio on projects for Milan Design Week and Stockholm Furniture Fair.
Her design practice revolves around humans, objects, surrounding spaces and everything in between. Through her unique visual language that is defined by architectural shapes, complicated balances and carefully choreographed compositions, she aims to create stories that tiptoe between the familiar and the extraordinary.
