Helen Kontouris using only environmentally friendly materials to create her furniture, in which femininity of ovals contradicts the strict lines. She defines her technique as "an organic femininity”. "I am inspired by the ovals of the female body, the colors of femininity the way I perceive it... I want my furniture to embrace the human body with a woman's tenderness, warmth and comfort. I want to create furniture with which people can connect emotionally. Because, for example, if you get used to an armchair, it will be very difficult for you to part with it. Our planet is filled with junk, objects that we use, we cannot contact them and ultimately we dispose of them. We never throw away something we have gotten loved." The natural materials and cultivation of human love to the object, Helen considers to be her best contribution to nature conservation.
