GrekoArts
is the spirit of ancient architectural treasures which was
passed down from civilization to civilization, for centuries
in the region of the mediterranean. Here, the architectural flavour is interpreted into contemporary handcrafted furniture by master craftsman Yanno Skandaleas.
The architectural images were artistically conceived on Yanno's recent visit to his homeland, Greece.
When Yanno returned to his California coast wood shop he spent two years of experimental work in design
and lumber mill work developing the Medirranean image.
- All the radius square posts respresent the columns of ancient temples.
- the contour lines stand for the rolling hills that fall into Aegean Sea.
- The natural reddish wood colors symbolize the clay of the roof tops. The white wash on the wood expresses the image of marble and stone.
