Close

Nefeli Vitoraki is a Greek-Indonesian designer and student based in Athens, GR and London, GB. Through her work she seeks to design solutions that integrate diverse perspectives to generate joy. Working between technological design, graphic communication, ceramics, and woodworking, her work takes the form of speculative art objects, furniture and practical hardware, developed through her studies and her involvement in a series of studios and start-ups in Athens, New York and London.

Objects of Productive Synergy focus on creating tangible, practical design solutions that act as gestures towards unrealized futures. The objects are grounded in speculative narratives, and range from furniture designed in anticipation of material scarcity, pills for combatting superstitious anxiety, and leather products in a post-meat-farm world.
