Background

About Phebos Xenakis

My first steps in the design industry started when I went to Howest, a University known for having a good reputation in the design industry. I was and still am a person who quickly knows what he wants and desires, therefore it wasn't long before I realized the furniture industry was something I longed to work in. In the second year of my Bachelor I started specializing in furniture design. While developing my talents in this sector I noticed that I wasn't much for working with convenient materials and always tried to strive for the extraordinary in my designs. In my 3rd and last year of my Bachelor I created 'Trapesi', a table with a rather unique design aspect. This design granted me with multiple international awards and publications. Having completed my Bachelor and wanting to amplify my design skills I recently also finished a postgraduate in Packaging & Brand Design.
