Kostas and Nikos, from young children, lived, felt and listened to the pulse of their father&#8217;s and grandfather&#8217;s art. The aromas of freshly grated olive wood, the hands that transformed sturdy volumes into refined pieces for homes with taste.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1506322149849{margin-bottom: 57px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1506322228099{padding-right: 25px !important;padding-left: 25px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]And just like that, a new circle was opened. And the name of it, Brotherwood. Bow ties, jewelry and other premium accessories, all of them with wood as the basic material, framed by resin, fabric, Swarovski stones -or whatever else is needed to highlight each piece. In order for the two brothers to succeed in bringing the third generation of Vassiliadis family with ambitions for the future, apart from the legacy of 8 decades of family involvement with the subject, they need a new, modern look and approach. So we added <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brotherwood.gr\/en\/product-category\/wall-clock\/\">wall clocks<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brotherwood.gr\/en\/product-category\/serving-platter\/\">wine platters,<\/a> and other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brotherwood.gr\/shop\/\">products<\/a> to our range, all handmade using mainly olive wood and resin (or liquid glass).
