• Zacharias and Alejandro use Japanese bookbinding techniques

• They combine leather from Cretan goats with silkscreen printing

Zacharias Petrakis knew from a very young age that he wanted to follow a creative path. He started studying drawing at 14 and sculpture at Fine Arts School at 19. The idea for silkscreen printing was born when his mother asked him to draw some t-shirts by hand to sell in her shop. Alejandro Hernandez Bascon, a graphic designer, joined the project soon after because he loved the idea of designing a product, creating all the branding and crafting it themselves. Together, they create art objects for concept and museum shops using materials such as leather and acrylic for accessories, clothing, home decor, and stationery items as well as art and illustrations. Their space is a creative workshop based in Exarcheia, an alternative neighbourhood of Athens, where everyone is welcome.
