haritini gritzali crafts objects of service, a collection of domestic and ritualistic totems
Briefly

Haritini Gritzali's Objects of Service is a collection that integrates Greek traditions into modern design, featuring items that serve functional and ceremonial purposes. Each piece, from the sculptural Coat Stand to the Candelabrum with its bold geometry, embodies duality—raw materiality alongside spiritual significance. The Paravent links past techniques with contemporary aesthetics, using textiles from defunct workshops to honor history. This collection highlights how everyday objects can hold deeper meanings, reflecting cultural heritage while serving practical needs, thereby bridging function with ritual.
The Candelabrum introduces an exploration of both personal and collective rituals. Traditionally found in ecclesiastical spaces, designer Haritini Gritzali recomposes it here through a bold geometric form.
The Coat Stand goes beyond mere functionality; it becomes a carrier of gesture. Traditionally, an object of service, designed to hold, to carry, here, it asserts its own sculptural purpose.
Objects of Service bridges function and ritual through elemental design, embodying both individual expression and traditional heritage in their forms.
The Paravent introduces to Objects of Service a material carrying a distinct history. Brushed aluminum frames encase panels of cotton weaves carefully sourced from now-defunct Greek textile workshops.
