Athens / Place

The Areopagus Hill, also known as the Hill of Ares, is a prominent rock outcropping located northwest of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. In ancient times, the hill was the site of the Areopagus, a council of elders who were responsible for hearing cases of homicide and other serious crimes. The name "Areopagus" means "Hill of Ares," and it was said to be the site where Ares, the god of war, was tried for the murder of Poseidon's son. According to mythology, Ares was acquitted, and the hill became a place of judgment for the people of Athens. Today, the Areopagus Hill is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, who come to enjoy its stunning views of the city and the surrounding landscape. Visitors can climb the rocky steps to the top of the hill, where they can see the remains of the ancient court and enjoy panoramic views of Athens. The Areopagus Hill is also associated with several important historical and cultural events. For example, according to the Bible, the apostle Paul preached on the hill during his visit to Athens in the 1st century AD. In addition, the hill has been the site of numerous political demonstrations and protests throughout modern Greek history.

Ledegem / Designer

Contemporary, yet timeless. Minimal, yet warm. Graphic, yet calm. Calculated, yet intuitive. The characteristics defining the work of interior architect Frederic Kielemoes, seem to be an interplay between opposites. Yet, his designs are pleasant, balanced spaces with a richness in materials, colours and detailing. His portfolio has a strong focus on residential interiors, but also includes exhibition stand designs for respected brands. Frederic is a collector and long-standing admirer of Belgian Geometric Abstract Art, with key artists such as Gilbert Decock and Marc Verstockt. In their formal language, basic shapes such as the circle and the square are strongly present. Frederic's designs often start with a similar sensibility, before they get sculpted into refined, threedimensional environments. His choice to work in a modest office with one other interior architect is a deliberate one. Frederic prefers to work in close contact with his clients on the one hand, and the contractors and craftsmen on the other. To hone his knowledge, he can regularly be found on site and in workshops. "My aim is to understand the limits as well as the endless possiblities of materials and techniques, to come to the most elegant solutions."
