Today Studio - Project My Time

A conversation about time, design, and the pleasure of daily rituals.

At first glance, the attraction is almost instinctive. Pink, yellow, light blue — a bright, luminous colour palette that quietly draws you in. Then comes the impulse to look closer, with a curious eye in the best possible sense, searching for the typographic identity. It recalls vintage wall calendars with their daily quotations, less the bold announcement of months and more the words that are yet to be written beneath them.

As you touch the Colorplan paper by Perrakis and lean in close enough to notice the subtle scent of fresh pages, you find yourself wanting to know more about these brand-new diaries, born from the collaboration between "Frogs to Princes" and the creative duo behind Today Studio. We gently close the random page we opened, tuck the diary under our arm with that familiar, almost ritual gesture, and we step out into Mets area.

— TODAY — as the diary’s distinctive bookmark tell us — we pass through the charming local food market on Archimedous Street. Girls sing traditional Christmas carols beside a stall of fresh oranges and a bitter orange tree, decorated by locals with red ornaments and ribbons, sways softly in the winter air. This is where we begin a conversation about the sweetness of the present moment with Natassa and Maria, inside the space of Today Studio.

Sherlock, the studio’s dog, inspects me carefully before I cross the threshold, past the first pots of a garden still under shape. He leads the way past his colourful ceramic dog-shaped bowls, some stools with pink and blue legs, and a beautifully bold orange chair — a palette that echoes much of what we have already been talking about.

Natassa and Maria have known each other and worked together for many years, something that quietly pulses through the way they share both space and vision. They have collaborated on numerous projects, but only recently settled into this new studio and neighbourhood — a place they describe as nostalgic and calm. My own walk there seems to confirm it.

Over warm coffee, I ask to see their work. At my prompting, the screen lights up and I begin recognising places and images I loved long before meeting them. Projects unfold: Theosis bar, whose character and design objects act as contemporary souvenirs shaping the identity of Ano Syros; Topa and Hotel Eternite, two of our unquestionable favourites in Kypseli; and further examples ranging from the renowned Milos fish restaurant in Leros to selected interiors of large companies offices in Athens.

They sit opposite me — always with a smile, open and slightly shy — letting the work speak rather than them. Even as students, they took on small projects, working from a single computer in their family homes. Their first entrepreneurial step was a small creative studio during the years of crisis, in Exarchia. Over time, whether together or apart, they have increasingly joined forces again through Today Studio, collaborating on a wide range of projects.

Their most recent creation — the diaries you see here — naturally leads the conversation to time itself. We all admit to keeping shelves full of old diaries, unable to throw them away without feeling a trace of sacrilege. Their pages, like a kind of refuge, have somehow managed to hold our years: worries, thoughts, meetings, to-do lists, expectations — the important and the seemingly insignificant moments of everyday life. They remind us, too, that we can pause time, even briefly, just long enough to write something down and return to it later, intact.

We close our diaries for today with wishes for the new year ahead — for the blank pages of our new notebooks to be filled with creativity, joy, meaningful moments, and days spent alongside the people we love.

Here’s to a good year.
