Art is a state of mind!
Dgrids has been operating in the field of handmade, custom furniture since 2000. We design and craft products primarily from wood, and also combine it with other materials such as metal, marble, and glass, depending on our clients’ requirements.
At the same time, it manufactures products designed by architects, interior, and product designers, ensuring high precision and exceptional construction quality.
Our Workshop
All the furniture and objects in our collection, as well as our custom-made pieces, are produced in our workshop located in Piraeus. Our workshop has a long history in woodworking and specialized constructions, having worked for many years on furnishing homes, stores, and boats. Every item we create carries the hallmark of handmade craftsmanship, giving it a unique character.
