MALVINA SARANTITI Faces of Lifestyle GLAMOUR LEADS THE WAY TO EFFORTLESS BUT CHIC LIVING, DECLARES THE FOUNDER OF THE LIFESTYLE BRAND MALVEZ. MALVINA SARANTITI www. malvez.gr What is the philosophy of your brand? Malvez is about beautiful and effortless elegant living. It is a luxury lifestyle brand creating collections in home décor and fashion accessories. Unique objects with timeless lines, sophistication and modern energy embody my personal aesthetics and capture the spirit and philosophy of the brand. What objects do you create? Glamorous evening clutch bags in the shape of boxes, which became an instant hit. For home décor, limited edition deco boxes with marble, brass, copper, mirror, and semi-precious stones. For an exquisite art de la table, Malvez napkin rings collections break away from the ordinary and add sparkle and freshness to the art of entertaining. Does art inspire you? I love the vibrancy of expressionist art and the Art Deco movement. I m inspired by sculptures, film, photography and amazing stage settings. Fashion and travelling around the world allow me to breathe creatively and so does Greece with its amazing colors captured in the light of the Aegean Sea, the blues and the whites. What motivated you to leave your career in advertising and enter the world of interior design? Since I was a child I was fascinated by beautiful interiors, fabrics and fashion. I liked experimenting with colors and textures. In my early professional years I worked in large advertising corporations on brand strategy and PR enjoying the participation in the creative process. When the opportunity came along to design an interior, I followed my passion and tap into my creative side. My projects are featured in international publications such as Vogue Brazil and many others. The transition from interior design to designing objects seamed seamless. Summer 2018 49
