Postfolk

Our Story

POSTFOLK was invented by Maria-Olga Vlachou, a Greek graphic designer who was inspired by the dynamic designs of the motifs in traditional Greek folk art.

POSTFOLK is the creation of digital handicraft, a kind of digital embroidery. In creating these figures dot by dot, we want to pay homage to the fine needlework of the countless women who stitched these figures in table runners and toppers, on pillowcases and coverlets on the fabrics used in their everyday domestic life.

Finally, we want to revive this visual legacy and enable it to evolve, we want our traditional past to travel beyond our country borders and with this scope in mind, POSTFOLK is very much about the future of our past.
