Fokas company is a Greek manufacturer based in the city of Thessaloniki. They have a 35 year experience in furniture, especially leather sofas.
Two years ago, they came up with the innovative idea of embodying fiber optics in furniture. The furniture they produce are completely safe, because the source of light is not on the surface of furniture, but in a light box inside them. The light travels through the optical fiber on the surface of furniture, so no heat is transmitted and there is no problem in case liquid is dropped on the fabric.
This year, during the Salone del Mobile in Milan they wanted to present a new collection of furniture so they chose the young Greek designer Lina Tsakli to design for them.
The pshilosophy of the new collection follows a futuristic style inspired by the 60’s and i tried to use the light as a tool to build atmosphere.
