About
Manos Vordonarakis is an Athens-based designer and manufacturer. |
He creates architectural objects, furniture and mechanisms.
His work is multifaceted and covers a wide spectrum from architectural and industrial design to engineering and construction and is either developed exclusively by his studio or is the result of close collaboration with architects. Most of the projects he undertakes are challenging and unique case/space- specific “objects” or prototypes. His body of work is characterized by his passion for pure forms and raw materials as well as his ability to provide unique engineering solutions. By transcending the boundaries of engineering, design and manufacture, his work reconciles mechanics with architectural meaning and bridges the gap between engineering and architecture. |
