Beautiful Designs by Marios Karystios

Beautiful, clean, well-balanced designs, creativity and novelty is what characterises Greek designer’s Marios Karystios work, who mostly specializes in branding but his interior design of a Math classroom in Cyprus also looks fresh and wonderful, clean and unique.
