Our Story

From Sisterhood to Design

More than a century ago, French sailor Sir Nicolas Igglesos finds himself shipwrecked, along the Kyrenia northern coastal waters of Cyprus, in the Eastern Mediterranean, and falls madly in love with the enchanting daughter of Cypriot Aloukiotis.

Imagine our surprise when we found out that our maternal great great grandfather was a French traveller and true explorer, making sense of our profound love for French style and our tireless drive to travel, discovering new, exciting adventures.

By the time we stumbled upon Sir Nicolas, we were well in our twenties, and Paris had already been our home away from home; a familiar and thrilling meeting point where we still build fascinating business collaborations, expand our design potential into extraordinary ideas, and feel deeply moved by the exceptional sources of inspiration and innovation. Of course, Milan always marks the next stop, adding a touch of modernism and minimalism to our design.

But let no illusion cloud your conclusion; by French style we do not mean Louis XIV, oh no! French style to us is eclectic yet relaxed; the old coupled with the contemporary; a marriage of discreet colors yet with a hint of boldness, where fit; sophisticated yet captivating.

When our clients playfully attribute our efficiency, elegance, and integrity to the power of 'sisterhood', a rush of sweet appreciation emerges and our passion to excel kicks in. To achieve absolute harmony with these three ingredients, along with personalization, attention to detail, human psychology, and laser focus, we consciously choose to remain devoted to only a few projects per annum; never simultaneously, design one by one, allowing each to evolve in its own special time and pace. Like we would treat a young child.

We concentrate on a few but challenging projects, (just like Mohari and Lanitis,) that are of enough scale, significance, and ambition to stretch possibilities into limitless, to amplify the momentum for outstanding results, and enhance the potential for quantum leaps. (Such projects rise in prime locations of Cyprus, the UK, and Greece.) Our recent aspiration and desire has been to dive (deeper) into the boutique hospitality industry, a territory with incredible promise and immense capacity, while other commercial sectors and residential spaces, (such as the Ritz,) also make our hearts sing.

Author Barbara W Winder puts it quite eloquently, 'We can have unity in diversity and diversity in unity. We do not have to be like one another to enjoy sisterhood'. We are made to complement each other into a harmonious blend that raises project standards beyond our expectations. Sophie naturally embraces the role of the active listener, the organizer, the communicator; your empath, your advisor, your friend. Katy makes a unique use of her innate skills for logistics, team leadership, and execution management.

Holistic high-end quality is key to us and our team, where functionality, comfort, and tailoring meet luxury, eminence and world class. These are design characteristics that constitute the cornerstone of our philosophy. But they form merely one part of the recipe. There are two other parameters that make the deliverable exceptional and complete.

One is the investment; we consciously commit time, effort, and energy to build a relationship with you, as the solid foundation of the project. It is vital that we connect with you to get under your skin so that we can apply your 'self' onto the design, with authenticity and ingenuity.

Two is the execution; we tend to move around and about you quietly but effectively, tactfully but purposefully. We stay out of your way. We tend not to 'bother' you unless we absolutely feel your input is critical. That is how we collaborate smoothly, easily, and gracefully with the clients we choose. After establishing a strong and elaborate relationship, we get to work immediately and leave you at peace to run your business, while remaining always at your disposal.

We inevitably end up with a life-long friendship. And that is priceless.

"Your home should tell the story of who you are, and be a collection of what you love."
— Nate Berkus, American Interior Designer & Author —
