Objects of Common Interest

The innovative light installation of the award-winning studio Objects of Common Interest can be found again this year at Peiraios 260, an integral part of the space’s visual identity.

The founders of the studio, architects and designers Elena Petaloti and Leonidas Trampoukis, based between Athens and New York, focus on the creation of sculptural objects and immervise environments that highlight the relationship between materiality and space. With international accolades, like Wallpaper’s ‘Designer of the Year’ (2022) award and Elle Deco International Design Awards (2024), and with a strong presence in international institutions, including Noguchi Museum and Vitra Design Museum, the creators, professors of Architecture at Columbia and featured on the AD100 list, continue to experiment with the limits of art and design. Their emblematic installation in Peiraios 260’s garden, consists of tube lights in various shapes and curves that form an ‘embrace’ around Building D. Through a dynamic interplay of height and form, the installation creates a new, bright landscape, inviting spectators to a unique experience before and after the events, activating the industrial environment in a meaningful way.
