Greece has been a timeless and endless source of inspiration for artists. The designer inspired by the Greek sea, sunlight and poetry to combine all these and visualized a love poem by Odysseas Elytis “Of the Aegean I”.
Of the Aegean
Eros
The archipelago
And the prow of its foams
And the gull of its dreams
On its highest mast the sailor waves
A song
Eros
Its song
And the horizons of its voyage
And the echo of its nostalgia
On her wettest rock the betrothed awaits
A ship
Eros
Its ship
And the nonchalance of its summer winds
And the jib of its hope
On its highest undulation an island cradles
The coming
Odysseas Elytis
