“The combination of different parameters can make an interior design special: the design of the furniture, the choice of materials, the manufacturing method, even the assembly. Ilias Lefas has explored all these aspects of interior design in a specific category, which is none other than that of furniture . These essentials for any room take up a lot of space and therefore need to be designed with creativity. But before getting involved in furniture design, Ilias Lefas had studied illustration at the European Institute of Design , as well as painting and sculpture at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, while in between he worked as an assistant at Mauro Mori and the Wunderkammer Studio . He now lives in Berlin and creates pieces for individual clients, companies and exhibitions across Europe, constantly testing his knowledge and ideas while taking specific characteristics into account during the design process, such as the local climate and availability of materials.
His creations, from composites, tables, consoles, wardrobes, shelves, even DJ booths, harmonise with their surroundings, with simple shapes that offer enough storage space, using only one material, such as wood or copper. The designs for each item are mostly hand-drawn, and the manufacturing takes place both on-site (for the past 14 years) and in Ilias’ brand new studio.”
