About Us
Bend is a flexible creative team which strongly believes in good, functional design as much as in effective art direction. The team was founded by Giorgos Axiotis and Odysseas Tsolkas in January 2005 after a course of studies abroad and common participation in numerous projects.Their interests lie in the wide spectrum of visual communication but they specifically work in the fields of graphic design, illustration, typography and interactive media.
After five years of shared practice, Bend have offered their skills to a considerable number of clients such as arts and cultural institutions, public organisations, festivals, publishers, newspapers, music venues, record stores, fashion and advertising companies.
Beyond their professional practice, Bend use an alternative art platform under the name of Μπλάκ Εν Ντέκερ (Black En Decker). This doppelgänger aims at covering excessive creative needs and usually manifests as frequent graphic-spreading campaigns featuring drills and other variations of their beloved household appliance. Stencils, stickers, posters, VJ sets, concerts, live recordings, CD-R releases and other stuff can be found in their hidden armory.
