What I really admire about HKD (Helen Kontouris Design) studio is the philosophy behind their work:
“We believe ecology in design today, rests on the role of the designer as cultural architect, creating products with clear purpose, intelligent material appropriateness & function that arrest you with their beauty & promote a movement ‘against throwawayism’. You are emotionally attached enough not to discard it. When you no longer need it, give it to someone whom you know admires it or to charity for those who need it more now, than you.”
Helen is one of the top ten finalists in the Bombay Sapphire Design Discovery Award for her ‘Breathe’ design. Congratulations!
