WORK WITH ME
What interests me about set design is the possibility of turning an idea into a physical experience. Creating a space that tells a story, invites people into it, and becomes part of what they remember.
I believe an atmosphere is created through details. The way a table is arranged, the light in a room, the colours, the textures, the objects, and how they come together. This is something I also enjoy in my personal life. I love hosting friends, creating tables around a theme, and incorporating my own ceramics into the setting.
SET DESIGN
creating connections between ideas, emotions, and visuals, and turning them into an identity that feels recognizable and alive
I have always loved bringing people together. And perhaps just as much, I love imagining the spaces in which they come together. Through my work in events, I have been involved in both the organisation and the setting of different occasions, thinking not only about how an event unfolds, but also about how it looks, feels, and is experienced.
Objects of light,

everything i like to do
I am Céline. I am from Belgium and was born to a Greek family. and I think that partially explains my eagerness for life, my love for joy, and my attraction to beauty and light.
I started ceramics simply because I wanted to create my own candles. Clay was the obvious medium through which that idea could exist. And when I lit my candles for the first time, something I had made with my own hands reflected something back to me: my time, my attention, my growing skills, and the joy it gave me along the way. And I found beauty there too : in the fact that the light of my candles was a quiet dialogue between what I had created and what the act of creating made me feel.
And I feel kind of the same feeling when I put light on people's stories.
DIMITRA
Milan Kundera once wrote that a life is composed the way music is, that we take what happens to us by chance and turn it into a motif, a note that returns and gives shape to everything after it. Without even realizing it, he said, we build our lives according to laws of beauty. I think this is why I love branding. It's not so different from what he described, taking moments, ordinary details, stories, and finding the note that runs through them. I like to put light on a story, with poetry, and give it a shape it didn't quite have before. Not inventing something new, just helping people see the motif that was already there.
when it comes to my story, i like to think that light is its motif, the metaphorical thread that ties my roots and my freedom : light is what lets you see where you come from, and it is also what draws you forward, toward wherever you're going next.
