In the simplicity of Interior Design Laboratorium’s projects, one can always sense a quiet luxury emanating from the flawless functional design and the excellent quality of materials. The Athens-based studio was founded by Stamos Hondrodimos in 2009 and has since been giving a voice to modern Greek interiors rooted in sun-soaked isles.

Istoria reflects Santorini’s unique architecture

What’s the last thing you read that made you feel something?

The history of Delos—an island of incredible inheritance.

We’re currently working on various hotels on a few Greek islands and some select residential projects. One of the biggest is an extension of a prominent hotel on an iconic Cycladic island.

Is there a building or product that strikes you as particularly well-designed or innovative?

While traveling, one thing that always inspires me, is the design and architecture of monasteries.
