The company

Stella and Tonia Malaxianaki

Founders 

The leadership of a company is the pursuit of a vision, a place uncharted that no one has ever seen. It takes courage and adaptability, innovation, and empathy to make a business a success.

We live in a world of more. More advertising, more products more alternatives, and more confusion.  Stella and I have removed all the fuss created by unnecessary information and images.  Our choices reflect the best products that the industry has created. We firmly believe in the quality of materials and socially responsible choices. All our products are made to last in time both because of impeccable design but also because of durable materials.

Our physical store is our first child. A place that is a source of inspiration to individuals and professionals. Full of natural light and a lively garden, it is more reminiscent of a house than a shop. It is a newly renovated space that activates all senses.

We have structured our online presence in order to offer the maximum experience that a user can have on the internet. We believe a lot in the power of the internet and the possibilities it can offer to our customers.

Our business is our passion. In a world that favors fast fashion and cheap copies, we will stay true to our principles of innovation creation and quality.

Dimitris Taloumis

Architect

Head of Installation Solutions

Born in exotic Madagascar, he grew up and lived in Tripoli until he was 17 when he fulfilled his first great dream, his introduction to the School of Architects at the National Technical University of Athens. A few years later, he designed his first pergola in his notebook.

A prophecy? A year later, 1998 was his first day at "PERGOLA". A few years later he was the godfather of "DESIGN" in the name to date. 23 years later he still takes care of his spiritual child as a family. Dimitris believes that the details, but also the respect for the architecture of a building are a key factor in the integrity of the construction. Dimitris is an architect who can solve in a unique way the most complex floor plan of a terrace and it is no coincidence that all our clients have with him excellent cooperation.
