Aegean Shapes by the Round Button & Alexandra Papadimouli

The Round Button is a design-decor project created by graphic designer Alexandra Papadimouli in 2014. Her basic idea was to create designs that would combine minimalistic Nordic style with themes inspired by Aegean Shapes.

The most special place of the Aegean and her main inspiration source is the island of Tinos: the sea with the ever-changing colors and moods, the strong yet refreshing winds, the rough and proudly standing rocks, the wise local architecture and a culture that has been shaped in conversation with the surrounding nature. The creative process starts while strolling around the island’s most peculiar places, in order to discover architectural shapes and natural elements that can be later redesigned.

As Alexandra says “I wish my designs can find their way to the homes of people who love the Aegean as much as I do, and to the homes of visitors who want to take a memory of it with them…”

While it began as an e-shop with prints, the project now involves collaborating with architects & decorators for the decoration of homes, hotels and office spaces.

In addition, the designs are applied to a series of decor products and gifts:

The exclusive products: Wall decorating prints on paper, canvas or metal & unique handmade cushions.

The gift products: Small prints sets, mugs, notebooks, miniature cushions etc.
