From the Latin root “animus” (soul, mind, vitality), in Esperanto language the verb animi means living.
For us Evangelos & Dionysis Kalogiropoulos, animi is the creative journey that began in June 2017, compassing our need for productive expression by using wood as the main expressive material.

Based in the beautiful “harbor” of Chania in Crete, we design and create in our workshop wooden hand-made decorative objects and constructions. Our goal is originality, the joy of creativity and the effort to build a final product of high construction and aesthetics.

With sensitivity and desire for a controlled exploitation of natural resources, we use timber certified FSC forestry, ecological water based paints and varnishes as well as packaging from recyclable materials.
