ABOUT
A multidisciplinary studio where imagination finds form
who we are
elefkon is a contemporary multidisciplinary design studio based in Thessaloniki, Greece, working across architecture, interior design and branding. Founded in 2017 by Eleftheria Porfyriadi and Konstantinos Tzerni, the studio was built on a shared vision: to create spaces and identities with clear functionality, strong aesthetics and a meaningful connection to the people who use them.
We approach each project holistically, from concept development to final implementation, combining architectural design, interior design, brand strategy and product design. Our process is grounded in understanding the specific needs of each project, coordinating all involved collaborators, and ensuring consistency between the initial concept and the final result.
Alongside our core practice, we have developed an experimental creative practice focused on ceramics and material research. This hands-on experience informs the way we think about space, detail and construction, strengthening our relationship with materials and the making process.
what we do
elefkon operates as an integrated design and technical studio, offering a wide range of services that cover both the creative and the technical aspects of each project:
- Engineering services: building permits, small-scale permits, legalization of unauthorized constructions, technical project support

vision & philosophy
We see every project as a system of relationships — between people, materials, functions and experiences.
Our goal is to create spaces and identities that stand the test of time, aesthetically, functionally and ethically. We integrate principles of sustainability, passive design and responsible material use, not as rigid rules but as conscious design choices.
For us, design is not decoration.
It is a tool for thinking, organizing and improving everyday life.
