Objects of Common Interest,

Biography

Founded by Eleni Petaloti and Leonidas Trampoukis in 2016 , Objects of Common Interest engages at the intersection of art, design, and architecture. The studio explores a diverse range of scales, from sculptural objects and installations to immersive environments and public art projects. Based between New York and Athens, Eleni and Leonidas are also the founding partners of the sibling architectural practice, LOT Office for Architecture. Their work has been exhibited internationally at museums, institutions, galleries, and design fairs – including the Noguchi Museum, MAXXI - National Museum of 21st century, Vitra Design Museum, Design Museum Brussels, Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg, Cycladic Museum Athens, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Québec and many more.

Objects of Common Interest was formed with a focus on creating still life installations, experiential environments, and sculptural objects—anchored by a deep fascination with materiality, conceptual exploration, and tangible spatial experiences. Their work bridges the contrasting influences of Greece and New York, blending cultural narratives into unified forms.
