Technopolis City of Athens, hub of cultural events, commissioned us to design the logotype for the exhibition “160 Years Made in Greece”. The historical exhibition highlights the industrial development in Greece during the period 1860–1970, but also its development until today.
The logotype consists of 5 fragments that complement each other forming the phrase “Made in Greece”. Inspired by the historical exhibits, we designed four fonts, and combined them with the contemporary Greek font Atypical, thus covering the entire time span of the exhibition and highlighting its historical dimension. The animated version of the logotype portrays the process of strolling through the exhibition and discovering the exhibits.

Hall of Fame of German Sports – Exhibition design
The Hall of fame of German Sports exhibition is organised by the German Sports Aid Foundation (Deutsche Sporthilfe). The challenge was to create a fully flexible display system for this travelling exhibition and a playful, sophisticated visual and tactile experience for the visitor. For this exhibition, we created the visual concept, layout and interface design of all applications contained within the “flight case” display systems such as the athletes’ life-size pop-ups, the archive cards containing all of the 75 athletes’ history and information, the magazine display and the interactive game application.

Achilles Heel – Wines
According to Greek Mythology, the nymph Thetis dipped her son Achilles in the River Styx in order to vanish all weakness and make him immortal. Holding him by the heel, she forgot to dip him a second time thus leaving him with a vulnerable, mortal spot. The design concept takes the actual myth of Achilles a step further, adding yet another figurative meaning to the phrase Achilles’ Heel and identifying the taste and aroma of fine wine as one of the greatest human weaknesses and desires. Adhering to the original brief which called for a strong visual identity that made this value-for-money product stand out on the shelves of various international markets, the overall design and custom typography are bold and contemporary, balancing between sophistication and affordability.

Design Walk 2012 – Catalogue
During the Athens Design Walk 2012 exhibition, under the narrative framework ”Greece 2022”, 11 creative studios of the city were asked to imagine the future of 11 different sectors of Greek public life. The exhibition catalogue, published in 2013 in a limited edition of 150 numbered copies, adopts the - formerly designed by us - visual identity of the exhibition, where the black colour enacts as a visual reference to the difficult present in which designers are called upon to form the future in white. Aiming to reduce printing costs, the catalogue was designed in two issues bound together with a clear plastic cover. The first - printed only in black - includes all texts, while acting as an index for the second - four colored - issue, is a photographic account of all the exhibitions.

Design Walk 2012 – Exhibition
During the Design Walk 2012, under the narrative framework Greece 2022, pi6 presented its own perspective about the social standards of the future. The exhibition included the design of the fiction newspaper pro-typos.
It is 2022, March 25. All the dignitaries are celebrating the 201st anniversary of the 1821 Revolution at the Averof battleship. The ship, however, together with all its guests disappears under mysterious circumstances. In an instant, everything in the country is turned upside-down. The kidnappers call on the people to decide if they want the dignitaries back or not. In the end, did we really need them to shape our collective conscience? Or do we want to change everything?

Design Walk 2012 – Identity
During the Athens Design Walk 2012, under the narrative framework Greece 2022, 11 creative studios of the city were asked to imagine the future of 11 different sectors of Greek public life. The poster comes to visualise the paradox, which is imposed by the theme of the Festival, between the extremely difficult socioeconomic situation of Greece nowadays and the imagination of an optimistic and bright future. The black colour represents the difficult present, in which designers scribe the future in white. The character lines refer to sun shafts in order to reinforce the optimistic approach of the future, according to the main claim of Design Walk 2012 we can't create the future without having imagined it first.

I am from athens
Athens isn't just the Acropolis. It’s an eastern/western city with controversy and energy. A harsh yet humane city, which is changing, developing, improving, progressing. Through graphic design and illustration, a different aesthetic that is hidden in the urban background is exhibited. If you find it and love it, others will follow…
