Untitled Office creates a bold identity for Athens-based carpenter, highlighting craft and character

Business cards for Stratos Kanakis Woodcraft on tactile paper stock

Stratos Kanakis Woodcraft is a branding project by Untitled Office for a contemporary carpenter working in Athens. The identity engages directly with the reality of the profession, drawing from traditional craft without relying on nostalgia, and reframing it through a next-generation lens of growth and professionalism. At its core is the tagline, โ€œIn Athens I donโ€™t have friends, only carpenters,โ€ a satirical nod to a lyric by Taki Tsan. The phrase introduces humor and sets the tone for an identity that openly comments on the communication dynamics within the craftsmenโ€™s world. Short statements and wordplay shape the visual language, with typographic posters acting as the main expressive tool. They bring rhythm and clarity, helping the brand communicate sincerity and character in a direct way. Material choices support this approach. Printed on Gmund Naturals (Orange & Sable) and Fedrigoni Materica Acqua, the identity feels tactile, honest and human, reflecting the hands-on nature of the craft.
