Theo Galliakis (b. 1994, Crete) is an architect and designer working between Greece and France. His practice spans objects, furniture, spaces, and installations, guided by a concept-driven approach that explores spirituality, material transformation, and refined simplicity. Educated in architecture at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, where he graduated with honors, Galliakis later completed a second Master’s degree in Geo-Design at the Design Academy Eindhoven. His work reflects a deep sensitivity to proportion, light, and material, shaped by both architectural discipline and experimental research.
Rooted in Mediterranean cultural heritage, Galliakis draws from ancient rituals, symbolic forms, and archetypal objects, reinterpreting them through a contemporary lens. His designs often function as quiet presences rather than declarative statements, inviting contemplation and slower modes of engagement. Whether working at the scale of an object or a spatial installation, his practice seeks balance between austerity and meaning, restraint and resonance.
