Objects Of Common Interest
VISUAL INSTALLATION

On the occasion of the seventieth-anniversary of the Festival, Objects of Common Interest, the award-winning design studio, will present an innovative light installation at the spaces of Peiraios 260. Founded by architects and designers Elena Petaloti and Leonidas Trampoukis, the studio operates between Athens and New York, specialising in sculptural objects, lighting installations, and immersive environments that foreground the relationship between materiality and space. Their work has been featured in prestigious museums and exhibitions worldwide, such as the Noguchi Museum, the Design Museum Brussels, the Museum of Cycladic Art, and the Vitra Design Museum. In 2023, the studio was the featured artist for Italy’s Cultural Capital in Bergamo and created public installations such as the Flatiron Plaza Installation in New York. Their accolades include being hailed "Designer of the Year" by Wallpaper in 2023 and by the Elle Deco International Design Awards in 2024. Both founders, who also teach architecture at Columbia University, have been included in the AD100 list of the world’s top designers and architects.

At Peiraios 260, their installation consists of tube lights in various shapes, arranged in countless configurations. Playing with the curves and texture of light, the installation suggests a glowing embrace around Building D, reshaping the space through a dynamic interplay of height and form.
