Objects of Common Interest

Athens, Greece and New York, United States

Objects of Common Interest, founded by Eleni Petaloti and Leonidas Trampoukis, explores the boundary between art, architecture, and design through sculptural installations, public art, and spatial experiments. Their work emphasizes materiality and sensory experience, with exhibitions at the Noguchi Museum, Vitra Design Museum, and Design Museum Brussels. Collaborations span brands like CC-Tapis, Kvadrat, and Max Mara. In 2023, they created Lights On, the Italian Cultural Capital’s main public art piece. In 2024, they were named Designers of the Year by EDIDA. Both are adjunct professors at Columbia University, where they integrate conceptual rigor with a global, interdisciplinary design vision.
