MNP Athens

We had the honor to design “Readings of a Collection”, a catalogue that includes every artwork depicted in the exhibition organised by the National Bank of Greece Cultural Foundation (MIET) in celebration of 60 years of presence and contribution to Greek society. The exhibition, hosted at the welcoming space of the Benaki Museum, brings together works from its collection, which includes almost 7,000 paintings, sculptures, and prints, as well as a few examples of weaving (tapestries), mosaic, and ceramic art.

ΜNP Books is an independent cultural platform rooted in contemporary thought, dialogue, and artistic expression. Established as a natural extension of MNP Athens’ curatorial and creative activity, MNP Books focuses on carefully crafted editions that explore literature, art, music, and cultural memory. Each publication is conceived not only as a book, but as a complete object - where content, design, typography, and materiality exist in dialogue. We collaborate closely with writers, designers, printers, and cultural institutions to ensure that every publication carries intention - both intellectually and aesthetically.

Φωτ.:

Bedside table designed by our founding member and creative director Katerina Papanagiotou, for the exhibition ‘A Century and A Year’ by .
Defined by proportion, repetition, and rhythm, this bedside table translates graphic principles into three-dimensional form. Wood remains central, while subtle color accents introduce tension and balance, creating a piece that feels both rational and warm.

Edition of 3+1, Prototype Ayous wood, leather (51x35x61cm)

For its 101 year milestone, SIRIGOS invited creators from diverse disciplines including sculptors, architects, ceramicists, visual artists and interior designers to engage with eight archival pieces from the family collection. Each explored the proportions, character and emotional resonance of the originals, proposing new interpretations that bridge memory and imagination.
