“Hunky Dory”
by Objects of Common Interest · New York, United States

Objects of common interest are formed by Eleni Petaloti and Leonidas Trampoukis with the focus on creating still life installations and experiential environments and objects, demonstrating a fixation with materiality, concept, and tangible spatial experiences.They create projects that balance between the long-lasting and the ephemeral projects in time and objects whose creative approach stems from an abstract realm enriched with layers of conceptual readings: moments of unfamiliar simplicity, sculptural and material self-expression, structural articulation. Their work roots from an amalgamation of thinking and making between two diverse poles, Greece and New York, switching between the formal and the intuitive, embracing the handmade and the tactile, the experimental and the poetic.Eleni and Leonidas received their academic education at Aristotle University in Greece and Ecole Supérieure d’Architecture de La Villette in Paris and hold a master's degree in architecture from Columbia University in New York and are founding partners of sibling studio LOT office for architecture.
