"The beauty of the harmony in art,
becomes a part of your Life"
Every creation begins with an idea rooted in authenticity, creativity, and a deep passion for detail. Each piece is carefully designed and crafted with love and attention, giving it a unique identity and distinctive character.
The philosophy of “collect – clean – create” is at the heart of our work, expressing a modern approach to sustainability, recycling, and conscious craftsmanship. Through this process, materials and objects are thoughtfully transformed and given new life as meaningful contemporary creations.
Our collections are crafted using natural materials such as stone and wood, combined with reused elements, semi-precious stones, and raw metals. By blending the authenticity of nature with a modern creative perspective, every piece becomes unique — timeless, expressive, and full of character.
MY JOURNEY
Later on, I pursued my studies at the School of Building Renovation and Restoration in Patras. There, the principles of Composition and Design that I learned, along with the study of restoration and adaptive reuse of old buildings, had a significant influence on my creative development.
As a result, the combination of childhood play and academic studies naturally evolved into a deeper engagement with jewelry making and artistic creation.
Over time, handcrafted work became an essential part of my life, leading me to take the next step: the creation of a shop that also functions as a workshop, located in Tinos.

IN TINOS ISLAND
Since March 2018, the store APRILIOU~8 in Tinos has been quietly writing its own unique story, evolving every day with care, dedication, and consistency. Tucked away in one of the island’s narrow cobblestone alleys, it is housed in a medieval building where stone, wood, and natural architectural volumes come together to create an authentic Cycladic atmosphere.
The name of the store originates from the marble element that was already present in the building’s central column — a detail that became the inspiration for its identity and character. Vintage furniture and carefully selected decorative objects further complement the space, resulting in a warm, timeless, and welcoming environment.
From the very first day, we have personally taken care of the interior styling and aesthetic curation of the space, ensuring that every corner and every detail reflects authenticity and personal attention. APRILIOU~8 is not just a store, it is a place with soul, designed to offer a unique and memorable experience to every visitor.
