Kostas Lambridis

Kostas Lambridis (1988) lives and works in Athens.

After graduating from the Department of Product and Systems Design Engineering of the University of the Aegean at Syros, in the Cyclades archipelago, he moved to the Netherlands to work in the studio of Nacho Carbonell, gaining important work experience over a span of eight years. In the same period, he studied in the master program in Contextual Design at the Design Academy of Eindhoven, taking a degree cum laude in 2017. His thesis project, titled “Elemental Cabinet”, brought international visibility and made him part of the ranks of new rising designers of his generation.

 After returning to Greece, he opened his own studio. He takes an active part in the production of his works by hand, due to his interest in materials and construction techniques, developing original theoretical research on the meaning of these operations.

With his work he has taken part in various group exhibitions, including shows held in the prestigious contexts of Fondation Cartier in Paris and Carpenters Workshop Gallery, whose Parisian facility hosted his first extensive solo show in 2021.
