The Agronaut Collection is the the stunning result of the team work between Christina Skouloudi Design Studio and Athanasios Babalis. It consists of of six unique objects designed and made in Greece, ready to travel the World just like the journey of the Argonauts. Each object is named for the crew from the original Grecian myth.

The Actor notebook case. A wooden mini suitcase, tailor made for modern notebooks. The case is light, friendly and fully protects the notebook, its power supply and the mouse. It can accept various sizes of notebooks (up to 17” screen size). The stainless steel door can be secured with a lock or a thumb screw. The interior is covered with thick felt, for maximum protection.

The Iolas serving tray. A light wooden tray with handles that are an extension of the tray surface. The elliptical “lip” of the opening provides easy control over the contents while moving. Available in two sizes (47 and 60 cm in length) and two kinds of wood veneer (Oak and Walnut).

The Atalanta fruit-bowl. A restless solid wooden bowl! The bowl can rest at any given point (line) depending on the distribution and weight of its contents. Available in a variety of solid woods and protected by a food friendly wax finish. It comes in three sizes (S M L) for any occasion.

The Atalanda salt & pepper set A pair of wooden bugs made of light and dark solid wood (light for salt and dark for pepper). The two bugs absorb humidity and allow the ingredients to flow easily.

The Staphylos fruit-bowl. The solid wood, pebble like shape of the bowl was inspired by the variety in size of the fruits themselves and especially the shape of the grapes. Available in light white or black wax finish.

The Asterion suspension light. Inspired by the fish gills and the magnificent three dimensional form that the metal sheet acquires when it is cut. The light in the center plays with the metal gills and casts amazing shadows on its surface and the surrounding walls. Asterion can be hung vertically or horizontally.
