K-Studio is an architectural interior design company based in Athens, Greece. It was founded in 2002 by Dimitris and Konstantinos Karampatakis. The aim is to create elaborate designs inspired by tradition, rich materiality and contemporary life. Rooted in the design practice of architecture, K-Studio is known for its novel, dynamic approach to architectural interventions. Since 2002, they have built a series of projects inside and outside Greece: from shops, bars and restaurants to hotel rooms, apartments and new homes.
They have been observing,that over the past few years there has been a rise of architecture and design practices from off-centered places of the world. In that sense, the trend-setting cities they knew so far have been off-throned, and there is no longer one unique mainstream dictating temporary trends in design, but rather many different cores representing their very own and diverse interpretations of contemporary design. This is very liberating to them as designers, to no longer have to “obey” to fashion statements that came from places very different from their own and mentalities and methodologies strange to their mediterranean heritage. At the same time, it is a great source of inspiration.
