Smoking and Waiting

Alex Parnassus is a multidisciplinary designer and artist based in Athens, Greece, with over 20 years of experience spanning jewelry, furniture, and visual design. His work is driven by a deep sense of nostalgia for a past that never existed, drawing from childhood imagery, anime, and the visual language of retro-futurism. Known for his signature chrome aesthetic, Parnassus creates hyper-glossy, reflective worlds that blur the line between object and illusion.

With a background in industrial design and experience as an art director in advertising and collaborator with architectural studios, his practice merges craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. At the core of his work lies a belief that AI is not merely a tool, but an extension of imagination, an exoskeleton that enables new forms of storytelling, design, and visual expression.
