Interview with Niko Kapa

What is your most favorite design, could you please tell more about it?
Mycenaean "Lion Hunt" dagger (1600-1100 B.C.). The depiction of the lion hunt highlights the function of the dagger.
Where does the design inspiration for your works come from? How do you feed your creativity? What are your sources of inspirations?
My inspiration comes from bad design. Examination of bad design gives you the opportunity to improve it.
How would you describe your design style? What made you explore more this style and what are the main characteristics of your style? What's your approach to design?
Personal style limits creativity. Engineers don't need a personal style.
Where do you live? Do you feel the cultural heritage of your country affects your designs? What are the pros and cons during designing as a result of living in your country?
I live in Dubai. I am Greek. The cultural heritage of my country inevitably affects my design attitude.
From your perspective, what would you say are some positives and negatives of being a designer?
Positive - My perception of the importance of my profession. Negative - Other's perception of the importance of my profession.
What type of design work do you enjoy the most and why?
Buildings and everyday objects. It is interesting to investigate complexity in different scales.
