Marios Karystios — Paphos, Cyprus

“All materials are challenging, especially when you create something starting from a rough sketch. More interesting can be low-scale products that are realised in small workshops, where you engage with materials such as metal, wood or glass in their raw form. If I had to choose one material that would be clay, but then again, it depends on the kind of packaging you want to produce.”

Marios is an interdisciplinary designer based in Cyprus who works on diverse design projects from packaging to furniture. He believes in collaborations and has a strong team that he works with, including illustrators, photographers, copywriters, entrepreneurs, scientists and art people from around the globe.
