Diana Artemis Tsantekidou is an interior and object designer based between Berlin and Greece.
She designs interiors, furniture and objects shaped by material, structure and an intuitive sense of form, and also works as a color consultant for interiors.
Born in the Urals and raised in Greece between the mountains and the sea, she draws on memory and cultural roots in her work, and on the question of what makes a place feel like home.
She is currently developing Atmosyne, an interior and object design studio built on one idea: a space should not only hold memories, but create new ones. What stays with people is not the room itself, but its atmosphere: the light, the proportions, the quiet it holds.
She studied experimental design at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts (HFBK), holds a Master’s in Textile and Surface Design from the Weißensee Academy of Art Berlin, and later completed a degree in interior design. For around ten years she worked as a creative director with installation artists across Europe, realising large-scale works for museums. She has also taught aesthetics to architecture students.
Her work embraces handmade pieces and a constant experimentation with materials, always searching for new shapes and surfaces. Each project begins with listening to a space and the people in it, and ends with something that feels like it belongs.
