Business Week:

Greek designer Thomas Mylonas has proven as fleet-footed with footwear as he is with furniture. He designs sport shoes for well-known clients such as Fila and Puma, clothes for Britain’s Hannah Marshall, and has created his own furniture line, under the SoHo brand, called the CrossLink collection. His company, under a branch called Dot Kite Lab, additionally offers branding, communication, and strategy services to big-name companies such as Best Western. In less than one year, Dot Kite Lab has opened offices in Amsterdam, Athens, and Rome.

Mylonas decided he wanted a career that would embrace both creativity and business while growing up in Athens. He relocated to Rome to study industrial design and eventually went to work for Fila in its design department in Montebelluna in the Italian Alps. It was there that Mylonas conceived of the Dot Kite brand and started his own company. The goal for the brand, he says, is to assume “its boldness from its mountainous landscape, its fluidity from the Mediterranean coast.”
