Paraphernalia Athens

Design concept store

Andreas from Athens

""Paraphernalia" in Athens is a special shop to buy a gift or souvenir for a friend. I can know that I'll find something unique and hand-made here."

Coming to Athens, besides night life, good food and sights, you would probably like to visit a special place to buy a gift for your friends. If you like gifts that stand out, walk by "Paraphernalia".

A new shop in the center of Athens, made with love for art and the exceptional by two young artists who emphasize the quality of production as well as the nature and sourcing of their materials, resulting in functional creations. At "Paraphernalia" you can find a large collection of home and office ware, accessories, small furniture, jewellery and other useful things old or upcycled at reasonable prices. Most of them are unique and you will not find them anywhere else in Athens. These creations will definitely catch your eye.

I discovered the "Paraphernalia" looking for a special gift recently and my choice really vindicated me. It's beautiful if you can find so many ideas full of imagination located in a place equally fanciful but also very simple and austere, there where the beauty of art is hiding. Take a few minutes to stop by and I'm sure that you will not leave empty-handed.

Athens Spotter Andreas

About me I was born in Koln, grew up in northern Greece, studied in Crete and finally landed in Athens for work reasons in 2006. For up to 6 years now I've worked in the music industry and I have attended over 500 concerts throughout the Attica. My friends consider me as a very sociable person, although I am not sure about it... What I am sure of is that I am a restless spirit that loves to go around a lot and discover new places all the time. I'm curious to explore every door… and most of the time I find something very interesting behind it ;-). Why Athens?�...
