“Authenticity is the soul of hospitality.” 

Andria Mitsakos,  Anthologist Founder and Creative Director

WHO WE ARE

Anthologist is a visionary creative studio redefining retail, and storytelling in the hospitality and design worlds. With three bricks-and-mortar locations in Greece and a distinctive global reach, Anthologist weaves narratives that bring spaces to life through meticulously sourced, evocative objects, as well as design and manufacture our own production in Greece and around the world. From concept to completion, Anthologist’s process blends historic research, thoughtful storytelling, and an unwavering commitment to artisanship to create environments rich with meaning and resonance.

Led by founder Andria Mitsakos, Anthologist draws upon deep expertise in hospitality and design, functioning as a creative architect for small to mid-sized hospitality venues, interior designers, and architects worldwide. Much like a magazine editor curating stories, Anthologist orchestrates the creative process with a careful hand, ensuring that every piece—whether it be a custom-designed fixture or a centuries-old artifact—serves to enhance the narrative of the space it inhabits.

Anthologist’s mission extends beyond design to champion artisans and preserve cultural artifacts, bridging past and present in spaces that captivate and inspire. Through a process of listening, designing, sourcing, and crafting, Anthologist crafts immersive stories that embody the spirit of each brand, creating spaces that don’t just exist but resonate.

Every brand needs a compelling story to thrive. Anthologist is here to craft it—and share it—so that yours captures the world’s imagination.

OUR STORY

When the world stopped traveling and hunkered down at home, travel publicist and world wanderer Andria Mitsakos found herself on lockdown in Greece, renovating a farmhouse on the island of Paros. A longtime collector, she took the values that built her travel publicity business—sustainability, cultural appreciation, delight in special places, people, and things—and applied them to enjoying life at home instead. Rather than zipping through airports to visit her hospitality clients around the globe, she started culling objects to create gems she would use in her own space—and subsequently shared the mini masterpieces with clients in Greece who were searching for non-cookie-cutter accents for their hotels and villas, in a year where they didn’t have access to the normal trade fairs. 

What started as a break became a business and Anthologist, an interiors concept line, was born. “Being a collector gives you perspective on cultivating special things versus just buying out of need. If anything, this year taught us that we need more treasures and fewer things," says Mitsakos.

Mitsakos has a larger goal than surrounding herself—and her clients—with magic. "If we don’t support these artisans and traditional methods, then these trades will die," she says. "Cultural preservation is the new sustainability.”
