LOT

Nili Lotan store in Palm Beach.
Deconstructing the DNA of Nili’s creative direction and translating it into a spatial experience. The store embodies the quiet clarity of a loft gallery — an interplay of proportion, light, and material that frames her contemporary creations in an homage and contemporary interpretation of mid-century design.

Scalable seating and dining installations of intriguing materiality and geometries filter circulation, break visual noise, and often introduce impromptu green elements, they become the heart of the space. Activated, they offer variation and play, and balance distribution and movement.

“Athens- and New York-based architects and designers Eleni Petaloti and Leonidas Trampoukis have been on Wallpaper’s radar since they began collaborating in 2012. We included their architecture studio, LOT, in our 2014 Architects’ Directory (W*184), and have followed their work in smaller-scale design since they inaugurated Objects of Common Interest in 2015. 

Objects of Common Interest started not with the idea to create a studio or commercial line, but as an exercise in small scale,’ Trampoukis told us in 2017. ‘It was an extension of working with architecture and making it more abstract,’ added Petaloti. ‘We are interested in volumes and how they interact, creating abstract shapes and elements that become objects.’
Over the past year, this mission has been brilliantly explored through multidisciplinary exhibitions and collections, and both in the virtual and physical worlds.”
