Chous Ceramics blend minimalistic design with ancient craft in Sparta, Greece

Chous Ceramics is a small art studio in Sparta, Greece, founded by Despina and Giorgos. The studio takes its name from the chous, an ancient Greek earthenware container, reflecting their deep connection to history and tradition. Their handcrafted ceramics stand out for their sculptural quality, balancing tension and harmony in every piece. Using a meticulous hand-building process, each piece captures the interplay of light and shadow, creating a minimalist elegance that feels both timeless and modern. Inspired by the Spartan philosopher Chilon, who believed in the power of simplicity, their work echoes the philosophy of less is more. Each piece is a quiet statement, rooted in tradition yet designed for modern living.
