A box specially designed to host the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the beginning of the revolution in 1821, on the fist floor of the War Museum, one of the most emblematic Athenian buildings of both modern and today’s era.
With ultimate discretion to the architecture of the museum and with the target being the pleasant interaction with it, the box constitutes a gentle addition in the space, with plainness in style, lines and colors, bringing about a creative contrast between the old and the new.
The place absorbs the visitor through a discreet opening and leads them to a path, which invites them to revive the history of the place where Revolution was established.
