Eternity Urban Bench by George Drakakis A two seated bench made of liquid stone. Two robust units are providing a comfortable and embracing seating experience and at the same time, they take care of the system's stability.

Epi-Happy Tableware by George Drakakis Epi-Happy is a small centerpiece for the office desks and dinner tables of tomorrow. The inspirational background -a translation in three dimensional space of ornamental motifs- makes it a classic yet a contemporary stylish object. A triple repetition of a basic unit creates a continuous storage area that can store or display several small objects. The continuity of space also helps it act as a cable holder, or it can be instantly transformed into an anti-stress device as well. Just throw a ball and try to roll it around. In every aspect, Epi-Happy is a friendly space occupant.

"Slide and Screw" assembly process makes everything easier. Flat packaging size and utilization of up-cycled materials makes Black Widow Eco-friendly.

Marching Ants Urban Bench by George Drakakis Marching Ants is here to change the common perception of an "urban bench" by proposing an artistic approach of fluid forms, a study on continuity through modular approach. Repetition of one element allows for more complex set-ups, combinations of two or four units, named after "Marching Ants" and "Relaxing Ants" accordingly. Another basic aspect of the design process was to keep the existing infrastructure of the city untouched. "Just Drop & Forget" process was introduced to ensure a fast, clean and trouble-free installation.
