Christine Kalia is a design studio exploring modes of spatial relations between architectural, interior and product design. The studio’s vision is calibrated towards ecocentric design and contemporary aesthetics; where the end products manifest the prime materials. The various collections take different approaches to this design mode, often seen as sitting in-between reality and daydreaming. The “coming from” of each design’s unique materiality is carefully crafted towards a “belonging with”, where the sophisticated design of the studio’s products is complementing any environment, in order to elevate its aesthetic aura.
The Studio
Christine Kalia
Christine Petrou is the creative director and founder of Studio Christine Kalia since 2016. Born in Larnaca in 1990, she is a trained architect with studies in Cyprus and the United Kingdom. Through her practice, Christine reshapes often found materials into contemporary design pieces of domestic use, bringing nature closer to the human environment.
Sustainability
We create designs where opulence meets responsibility, reflecting our commitment to both the environment and local communities. By collaborating with local artisans, preserving traditional craftsmanship, and using ethically sourced materials—including deadstock fabrics—we minimize impact while celebrating beauty. Our modular furniture systems offer versatility and longevity, with every piece thoughtfully crafted to reduce waste and energy consumption.
