Kiki Goti was born in Thessaloniki, Greece — a culture where, she says, matriarchs rule the roost — so perhaps it’s unsurprising that much of her work can be seen through the lens of femininity. In one of her first collections, called Buttoned Up, Goti made futuristic aluminum lights fastened with spherical bolts, inspired by women’s accessories from the Victorian era; in another, made from Murano glass, she took inspiration from the Graces, Greek goddesses of beauty and creativity. Her Bells & Whistles collection of furniture and lights, which debuted at Collectible in lacquered walnut and cast aluminum, recalled pleated skirts as much as they did bell founding. And her most recent series of mirrors and lights, launching with Todd Merrill at Bergdorf Goodman, is inspired by a Botticelli painting celebrating seasonal cycles and femininity. This year will see Goti dedicating her practice to the further exploration of natural materials by reimagining traditional techniques with a contemporary, and decidedly womanly, twist.
