Chora’s name, meaning the principal town on the island of Mykonos, became the respective center of craftsmanship that still preserves the cultural legacy of the island.
With meticulous care, it distilled the empirical techniques of the past and created pieces of contemporary design, inspired by the architecture, painting, pottery and jewelry making of the island’s heritage.
