Hello and welcome to our place!
We are Katerina and Michalis, a married couple who opened this store merging the passion and professional knowledge of both of us to create a place for the modern life. Katerina, having a great experience as a Style Editor in leading international fashion magazines and Michalis having worked as Marketing Manager in two of the largest beverage companies in the world, wanted to bring in life something more than just a coffee shop, but a hub where people can enjoy specialty coffee, co-work, pick high-end objects, or just slow down and relax.
As a consequence we found a place in the historical center of Athens, in the ground floor of a typical 60s apartment building and we turned it into into a minimal, urban, raw place giving it the name ‘Third Place’. Why this name? It’s really simple. Due to the sociologist Ray Oldenberg, we share our life between our home, First Place, our workspace, Second Place and a neutral ground, Third Place, upon which we as people can gather and chatter leaving behind any stereotypical, sex, economic and social discrimination. We wanted to create a place where community is more alive and people are most themselves.
Based on our love for interior design and slow living, we quickly decided to expand our activity, making a selection of great objects, deeply rooted in the minimal, perfectly shaped and serene design. Long story short, design award-winning and conceptual lines of objects of the most prominent, high-end design brands from all over the world found their space at our Third Place.
Our ambition is simple: to advocate slow living. From freshly roasted coffee beans to top-notch decorative objects mastering the Scandinavian design tradition and featuring for the first time in Greece thanks to Third Place., all compose our pure, high-aesthetics, serene world dedicated to all of you that want to be surrounded by what makes you happy.
Slow down and enjoy to the fullest!
