Summer shopping at the Cycladic Shop

July 14, 2018 · by: Athina 4 Comments

Cycladic Summer collection | Paris Tavitian for the Museum of Cycladic Art (MCA)

If you reside in Greece and it’s mid-July you know that means just one thing and one thing only: two months—August and September—of full-blown celebrations, jam-packed with name days, engagements & weddings (among other ceremonies), and all sorts of social calls are just around the corner. So whether a guest or a host, if you’re in the hunt for the perfect gift idea or for statement pieces for your own abode, I have you covered: the new summer collection of the Cycladic Shop, the gift shop of the Museum of Cycladic Art, is the epitome of beach-house elegant minimalism!

A carefully curated range of useful items, designed primarily for the Cycladic Shop by Greek and foreign designers—some of whom have their workshops in the Cyclades—which comprises mainly of traditionally handmade ceramics, in blue and white, with the characteristic simple forms and curves that are typical of Cycladic art.

If you’re nowhere near Greece but still fancy that Aegean Greek-isle vibe, fear not, the Cycladic Shop ships internationally.

Browse the new collection at the museum’s e-shop at www.cycladic.gr  (Get a discount of 10 up to 30% if you join the Friends of the MCA programme.)

Alternatively, the Cycladic Shop operates on regular museum hours:

Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays: 10:00-17:00
Thursdays: 10:00-20:00
Sundays: 11:00-17:00
Closed on Tuesdays

Είτε βρίσκεσαι ήδη σε διακοπές είτε όχι, το πιθανότερο είναι πως –μέσα Ιουλίου– είσαι υπό την επήρεια της θερινής ραστώνης ενώ ο Αύγουστος και ο Σεπτέμβριος σε περιμένουν στη γωνία, με όλα τα παρεπόμενα – ονομαστικές γιορτές, τραπεζώματα, γάμοι. Η αναζήτηση για το τέλειο δώρο είναι συνήθως ένα μικρό βάσανο, αλλά σου έχω τη λύση: τη νέα καλοκαιρινή συλλογή του Cycladic Shop, σε μπλε και λευκούς χρωματικούς τόνους, που θα ανεβάσει την καλοκαιρινή σου διάθεση!

Μια σειρά από χρηστικά αντικείμενα που σχεδιάζονται κυρίως για το Cycladic Shop από Έλληνες και ξένους σχεδιαστές –κάποιοι από τους οποίους έχουν τα εργαστήρια τους στις Κυκλάδες– δίνουν τις πιο πρωτότυπες λύσεις για τα καλοκαιρινά μας δώρα. Πρόκειται κυρίως για κεραμικά χειροποίητα με απλές φόρμες και καμπύλα σχήματα που είναι φτιαγμένα με παραδοσιακές τεχνικές, βασισμένα στις λιτές γραμμές των Κυκλάδων και της κυκλαδικής τέχνης.

Βρες τα δώρα σου στο e-shop του Μουσείου, στο www.cycladic.gr – με έκπτωση από 10 έως 30% για τους Φίλους του ΜΚΤ.

Εναλλακτικά το Cycladic Shop λειτουργεί κατά το ωράριο του μουσείου:

Δευτέρα, Τετάρτη, Παρασκευή, Σάββατο: 10:00-17:00
Πέμπτη: 10:00-20:00
Κυριακή: 11:00-17:00
Τρίτη κλειστά

About Me

A stalwart bookworm ever since I can remember myself. I studied English & American Literature and became an EFL/ESOL Teacher. I successfully(!) combined teaching and working as an executive secretary, in a big advertising company and a law firm, for several years. I'm a freelance writer, line editor, and blogger as of lately. Also, a bit ironic by nature but, all in all, quite easy-going. Partner to 1 & mother to 2 cats. I once tried to give up coffee and then swore to never make that mistake again... Read More…

I've listed my items, in case you're interested @ my linktr.ee (follow the link in bio). For the items specific to the Greek market, I've listed similar on Amazon and Amazon.co.uk (some are affiliate links).

P.S.: I realize as I'm posting this that several online shops are swamped with orders during lockdowns and have decided to go on a brief halt. Also, keep in mind that all shipments are susceptible to delays due to Covid-19 restrictions. My post is only meant to inspire you and not to overwhelm you in any way. If you like the look and wish to go for it, you can totally DIY it—or do something similar—with whatever materials you have at hand. To recreate these particular baubles, use matte black spray-paint and give your old ones a coat or two. Use a small paintbrush and mod-podge to draw snowflakes (or any other shape you 🖤), sprinkle with gold glitter, and voilà! Things should get better. Be patient, keep your chin up, and get creative—it helps battle the blues.

The recipes are also available on my site, but due to a broken recipe plugin and a chronic procrastinator—yep, referring to me again—they're all messed up and nowhere near shearability. If you do insist on jumping over, you may proceed at your own risk. 😅 For the time being, here's where it's safest:

When it comes to superfood antics, some like kale, When it comes to superfood antics, some like kale, pomegranate, green or matcha teas, nuts, and berries, usually get all of the glory. And yet, more research is uncovering the age-defying, disease-fighting, fat-blasting super-powers of commoner foods you've been likely overlooking. Leeks, carrots, beets, chickpeas, beans, squash, pears (to name but a few) are cheap, quick to prep, unexpectedly tasty, and most are probably already in your kitchen. To make it even easier for you to tap into their head-to-toe benefits, @kouzounaskitchen is hosting a superfood week get-together of foodies (myself included), featuring recipes packed with a wide array of the aforementioned age-erasers!

 🍂🌰🍄 I'm slowly falling into autumn even though Attica's warm weather doesn't really agree. One of my favorite web and graphic design sites @designerblogs is helping set the mood instead. I've been using their blog planner for years—it's one of the best you'll find out there. Its pages will help you brainstorm post ideas, draft your weekly uploads, set monthly and yearly goals, track monthly and yearly and stats, track affiliate links, social media advertising and posts, newsletter campaigns, finances, usernames & passwords, giveaways—you name it! I'll leave the links for both their classic design and this year's limited edition blush-color planners below (copy & paste on desktop), but direct links will also be available for a while @ my linktr.ee (follow the link in bio).
