WHO WE ARE (and What We Do)
We are Aliki Kakoulidou and Dimitra Vasilakou, a team of designers based in Athens, Greece. Originally known as metoo, we formed our practice in 2005. The first thing we agreed on was that design in itself is not that important. Our work is all about the synergies we create, the procedures and materials we use, the footprint we leave on the environment and society. It’s about repurposing the past and making it futureproof. It’s about bringing together timeless, traditional imagery, and a modern aesthetic.
As a creative practice, our main field of expertise is visual communication, with an emphasis on cultural research. In recent years, we have taken great interest in creating patterns and characters inspired by Greek folk art, and applying them to quotidian objects. We have realized this new vision by combining graphics, design and modern technology with traditional production methods. Our objective is to revive the various motifs found in Greek culture through a contemporary viewpoint and to incorporate them into everyday life.
