Meet Andria Mitsakos, Founder of Anthologist, Athens

What’s your name?
Andria Mitsakos

Where are you from?
I was born in a suburb of Boston, Massachusetts to Greek and Armenian-American parents and grew up in a very liberal household that was full of creativity, design, and grace.

Where do you live?
A German friend once told me about the word, heimat, which is a feeling that is more than home. So I get this feeling in many places around the world. However, I currently live under the Acropolis in Athens—a city that gives me never-ending inspiration—and in summer, on the Cycladic island of Paros.

Describe Anthologist in three words or less.
Provocative. Whimsical. Functional. 

One thing people might not know about your brand?
That I design about 60-70% of what we sell.

An iconic item from your collection?
Just one? I love the Almas Leaves of Change earrings - they are my go-to for day or night. But my new furniture collection which leads with the kaleidoscope agate glass table is such a profound piece.
