Meet the Maker: Zacharias Art Object is an artistic creation of aesthetic value. Our motto has always been “Inspired by Art History” and our desire is to express our very own point of view through design, as well as to keep learning, trying always to do something new. We follow traditional handcraft techniques like silkscreen printing, leather sewing, Japanese bookbinding, and recently we started producing objects with laser cutter. Our studio is a creative workshop based in Exarcheia, Athens. Exarcheia, our neighborhood, is renowned for being Athens' historical centre of all kinds of different political and intellectual activism, located in downtown Athens, the city we love for its historical and contemporary.
