Senses of Skyros

Untamed, Authentic, Diverse

Senses of Skyros is Hyle’s first project collection, dedicated to the untamed beauty of the Aegean island in the Sporades archipelago.

 

In partnership with three accomplished Greek studios, Yfi, Kerameio, and Lavatoy, Hyle introduces a limited-edition collection that celebrates the astonishing diversity and undoubted authenticity of Skyros.

Every art object evokes the geology and landforms of the island or its rich heritage, starting in ancient times until recent years with folklore traditions. Inspiration for the textures is drawn from the rare terrain of the old quarry called “pouria”. 

Colors are widely influenced by the whitewashed walls of the villages, the grey tones of the castle in the old city called “chora”, and even the peculiar pine forest that goes all the way into the sea.

Shapes and forms are a tribute to the minimalistic patterns of the island, the honeycombs of the Skyrian honey, and the “apokries” local carnival tradition. Hyle’s collection of ceramics experiments between functionality and art, recreating the uniqueness of the organic textures and the effortless simplicity of the Skyrian elegance.

Senses of Skyros collection presents multifunctional art ceramics -including bowls, cups, plates and platters, candles, vases, decorations, sculptures, and even lighting- that imprint the fundamental characteristics of the island and invite you to cherish every moment as a daily ritual of relaxation, self-awareness, and balance.

Skyros is an island of dramatic contrasts as it combines both the wild and harsh nature of the Aegean and the flourishing, rich environment of the Mediterranean Sea.

Senses of Skyros is the first out of a series of project collections that Hyle will be producing in collaboration with Greek artists, to highlight the vibrant natural environment and also the precious cultural heritage of Greece.
