About VASSILIS MYLONADIS

Many of the spaces that we live in and the objects that surround us, are not designed in a way to intrigue our emotions. Our vision is to design objects and spaces with the notion that they will make our everyday life more functional and fun. This approach has guided the design services that our practice has offered since its founding in 1994. Together with an extensive network of partners we have provided simple and functional solutions to clients who either manufacture consumer and industrial products or are in need of exhibition or interior design.

Interview with VASSILIS MYLONADIS

Could you please tell us more about your art and design background? What made you become an artist/designer? Have you always wanted to be a designer?
I studied product design in Art Center College of Design(Europe) and received my BS in Product Design in 1990. After mu graduation I worked as a product designer in PHI Design in France where I was involved in numerous projects from a wide variety of fields. In 1994 I established Mydesign Mylonadis. As a child I enjoyed scribbling objects and products. I believed I could one day build anything I designed but instead of a magic stick use a pencil.
Can you tell us more about your company / design studio?
My vision is to design objects and spaces with the notion that they will make our everyday life more functional and fun. I founded Mydesign Mylonadis in 1994. Together with an extensive network of partners we have provided simple and functional solutions to clients who either manufacture consumer products or were in need of interior and exhibition design. This approach was taken further to the design of finished products for the mass market.
What kinds of works do you like designing most?
I aim to be involved in different fields of design in order to see things from a different prism and hopefully do that extra leap every time I design something new.
What was the first thing you designed for a company?
It was actually a high tech product at that time. An electronic water tab.
Which aspects of a design do you focus more during designing?
I am very concerned about functionality issues. I want my designs to be very practical and I always believe that every design should always tell its story.
What kind of emotions do you feel when your designs are realized?
I am feeling really grateful that I am able to interact with the consumers through my designs and watch their reactions once they use them. That is why designs that remain incomplete are a great disappointment.
From your point of view, what are the responsibilities of a designer for society and environment?
Today more than ever a designer has immense responsibilities towards society and the environment. I believe that we need to move from a model of overconsumption to a more prudent direction. We do have the tools for that more than ever before and it is going to keep changing through technology. If you take for example the 3d printing revolution which is just starting, it is going to change our priorities by introducing customization and flexibility in the way we think and design.
Where does the design inspiration for your works come from? How do you feed your creativity? What are your sources of inspirations?
I live in a country that in terms of cultural heritage has so much to teach us. I believe the balance, the simplicity and the humor that I seek in most my designs derive from that. And there is always the sun and that unique light that infuse in their own way within the designs.
How do you work with companies?
With mutual respect. Once you get that established sky is the limit.
Could you please share some pearls of wisdom for young designers? What are your suggestions to young, up and coming designers?
Follow their passion, persevere, do not give up and believe the unbelievable.
What is your "golden rule" in design?
An extensive network of partners that can support you at your journey to the top.

Extended Interview with VASSILIS MYLONADIS

Could you please tell us about your experience as a designer, artist, architect or creator?
I studied product design in Art Center College of Design(Europe) and received my BS in Product Design in 1990.

How did you become a designer?
The ability to be able to design from a pin to a yacht and exercise your mind and broaden your horizons and share this with other people is just beautiful.
What are your priorities, technique and style when designing?
I actually chose to be a designer. As a child I enjoyed scribbling objects and products. I believed I could one day build anything I designed but instead of a magic stick use a pencil.

What particular aspects of your background shaped you as a designer?
Follow their passion, persevere, do not give up and believe the unbelievable.
What is your growth path? What are your future plans? What is your dream design project?
I suppose they dream bigger and give up less easily. They have a gift of envisioning the future and what it will look like. They do not limit themselves to what they know but let themselves go beyond the unknown.
You are truly successful as a designer, what do you suggest to fellow designers, artists and architects?
I believe good design adds quality in our every day lives. If one wants to break the barriers and be a leader in their own field then they should invest in good design.
How do you keep up with latest design trends? To what extent do design trends matter?
That’s why I love design. You can turn every new project into your dream project.
