Markos Georgiou (b. 1996) is an interdisciplinary product designer based between London and Cyprus, working across the intersections of nature, innovation, and humanity. His practice spans products, systems, technologies, processes, and materials. He often navigates the space between research and design through an interdisciplinary approach, crafting solutions that are both pragmatic and visionary, and aimed at addressing the urgent challenges of our time.
No challenge exists in isolation. Designing for meaningful impact requires thinking in systems, engaging across disciplines, and collaborating with experts whose knowledge extends well beyond design. In his practice, he works closely with researchers, advisors, and specialists, from science and engineering to materials and sustainability, bringing in diverse perspectives that inform, challenge, and deepen the design process.
His work is grounded in experimentation and creative inquiry, bridging technology, material innovation, and sustainability. Designed to endure across time and context, his projects span the immediate, the imminent, and the distant future, with a focus on long-term relevance and environmental impact.
Markos established his own design studio following the completion of his MA in Design Products at the Royal College of Art in 2024. He holds previous degrees from EINA in Barcelona and the University of Brighton. Alongside his design practice, he contributes academically by teaching at universities and leading workshops on sustainability and design strategy.
His work has been exhibited internationally in cities including Milan, London, Dubai, Eindhoven, and Munich, and he has collaborated with a range of renowned studios, clients, and institutions.
