Objects of Service by Haritini Gritzali
Zuzanna Gasior
Jul 10, 2025

In her latest collection, Objects of Service, Haritini Gritzali reimagines domestic objects as carriers of intention—pieces that transcend utility to participate in the quiet choreography of daily life.

Inspired by Greek tradition and everyday ceremonial acts, the collection explores how form and material can evoke memory, presence, and a sense of the sacred in the mundane.

The collection includes elemental objects—a coatrack, a vessel, a screen, a candleholder—that are both functional and symbolic. Each is marked by a sense of restraint: forms are clear and geometric, repetition is deliberate, and materials remain raw and essential. Walnut, brushed aluminum, and brass are left unadorned, allowing texture and weight to define the experience. There’s a groundedness to these pieces, but also a sense of something elevated—something quietly spiritual.

Rather than merely filling a space, these objects hold space. Their totemic forms lend them a sculptural presence; they stand with a certain monumentality, not in size but in aura. They become markers—of thresholds, of rituals, of the often-overlooked beauty of transition and repetition.

Gritzali’s approach is informed by a deep understanding of architecture and object culture. With formal training in both architecture (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki) and luxury design (ÉCAL), and a portfolio that includes collaborations with Hermès, La Prairie, and De Bethune, her design language is refined, but never aloof. She blends spatial awareness with sensitivity to the body, creating works that feel lived-in, even in their stillness.
