'Arcadia' 21', a traditional goats' bell for the home
About the Item
A traditional goats’ bell reversed, reworked and upcycled into a luxurious accessory for the home.
A symbolic artefact acting as a metaphor for the rise from humble beginnings into a modern European State. It is an ode to the noble bucolic soul that burns within us, reminding us that the gap between rural bliss and urban magnificence is only a goat's hair apart.
Bells have been adorning livestock in Greece since ancient times. They hold spiritual properties, as talismans guarding the animals’ welfare, but also have monitoring attributes, keeping the herd united and recognisable, by the distinct group sound they produce.

Greece is for Lovers
Greece is for Lovers is the brainchild of Thanos Karampatsos and Christina Kotsilelou, as lovingly conceived at the foot of the Acropolis hill in 2006. Sharing similar aesthetic influences, the creative minds behind it introduced a brand new sense of ‘Greekness’ to contemporary product design, by mixing up a concoction of their country’s spiciest ingredients: humour, irony, nonchalance and extravagance.
Inspired by the stereotypical notion of what is widely held to be Greek, their designs comment on habitual activities and behavioural patterns of both the past and the present; they narrate an alternative home country, consisting of part memory, part fantasy and part wish. Unwilling to compromise, the GIFL trademark aesthetic sits comfortably in the controversial area between luxe and kitsch. By exploring areas widely considered as an anathema, or plain shameful, they casually retrieve value and inspiration. Greece is for Lovers’ products, whether one-offs or limited editions, are handmade with care by local craftsmen and are considered a synonym for contemporary Greek design.
