We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Vassilis Mylonadis about their original and creative Key holder design work. Vassilis Mylonadis is an award-winning industrial designer, that makes our world a better place with their original key holder works.
Vassilis Mylonadis ("VM") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Keymotif Key holder. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
VM : In search for a new generation of souvenirs that would bring up hidden aspects of our history, I came up with Keymotif. It is a key holder that is inspired by the motif found on textiles produced by a traditional loom. The motif from a textile is transformed into a 3D object, which is brought into our everyday lives through a key holder.
VM : The idea that one's absence from home or office could be transformed into a colour footprint by removing a key holder from it's base was very intriguing to me.
VM : The project started in October 2016 in Athens and finished in December 2016 in Athens.
VM : It was designed in collaboration with the platform “it’s all so souvenir to me” which aims to define the souvenir as a highly aesthetic object, overturning the folklore stereotypes and introducing a New Greek identity.
VM : At this point the design is self produced.
VM : It is a fuse of the words key holder and the motifs that it is inspired from.
