“Passion and love for our work should make us evolve, not competition”

Interview Oikodomin magazine
Visual Arts / Decoration; in terms of what should we identify you with?

I think both have their artistic side, that’s how I see them. The quality and high aesthetics that make up a simple minimalist space without exaggerations are among the things that express me. My artistic works and the processing of particular forms (including furniture) shape my own way of interpreting and analyzing our everyday life.

Would you like to tell us what your position as a professional is regarding an architect, civil engineer and a manufacturer... What are the stages that each one works in these specialties?

Great question… Collaboration!

To achieve an even result, there should be cooperation among all sides. They must work collectively, at all stages and within the scope of each one, always in relation to their status. The style that will be rendered as a final image should work over time. It is not rendered by just one, it is overall and should be clear regarding even the construction part.

Interview Oikodomin magazine
What knowledge or what in general does a decorator need to have in order to win the trust of the client? Are there "rules" in decorating and what are they?

It’s a lot! Personally, I would say that it is respect and Ethos. Respect for what I do and respect for the customer. In addition to imagination and high aesthetics, love and passion for what you do is required as well as the ability to perceive, manage and understand each project.

Based on your many years of experience, do you judge that there is cooperation between experts and an investor? And how does an investor perceive it?

It’s up to each person… For my part, I consider it necessary. During this time, I happen to be part of another perfect collaboration and this is largely due to the owner, who has showed us – and still shows us – a lot of trust!

"Due to the fact that aesthetics is not an objective value and brings out different emotions in each person, I choose to rely on the ability to perceive and understand the project"

How do you see competition?

I’m glad for the question! Passion and love for our work should make us evolve and not competition. We all express a different style that sets us apart and we work on it.

Which of your jobs would you single out?

To be honest, all my works give me some positive feeling. It is hard to pick one out. So as to understand exactly what I mean, I will simply tell you that I am constantly there, enjoying the process of completing the work.

Now let's go to the subject of a professional's fee, because it is very often a topic of discussion!

Cost is naturally determined by project needs and location. For me, each project has its own uniqueness. Just as each person is not the same, a study cannot be a standardized product either!

Have you ever managed to make a client accept a style different from their original desire?

Because aesthetics is not an objective value and brings out different emotions in each person, I choose to rely on the ability to perceive and understand the project as well as the person I have in front of me. My goal is to give the right lines and directions so that the space can project its maximum potential and meet any needs that may be requested.

What pleases you and what would you describe as the biggest challenge?

It may sound cliche but the smile of satisfaction as a sign of gratitude that I receive after the collaboration is over pleases me every time. As a challenge I would consider something even beyond my field, such as my participation in any project that can improve the quality of life as a whole.
