The world in an endless place. An endless place of true and unique identity. Made of singularities in matters of personality. The infinity symbol (∞) can express so much because if something is infinite, it means you can imagine it in any way you like. Create the way you like.
Robert Pantazi is a designer of an infinite symbol and that is the bow tie. He owns a business in making amazing bow ties named Papionette. He started his professional life pretty early, some would say.
“I have been working since I was 14, I had a job as a cook, merchandiser, sales assistant, and for 8 years I worked in sales, this helped me create a vision regarding a business”.
So this idea of infinity represents diversity, it is endless. And that is what Robert wants to show through his bow ties business, diversity. The bow tie represents the infinite style.
But so does Robert. He plans to continue his work in making these creations and expand his business as much as possible. “I can say about myself that I am a simple person and I do not like to stand out.” But he does stand out, through his creations and ideas that are seen in the bow ties.
Besides his business in bow ties, he has other ideas, but he does not focus on them. His explanation “I have many ideas, but I’d rather do one great thing at the time than 2 bad ones”. He doesn’t have a favorite bow tie “I usually wear a bow tie that suits my clothing”.
So once again the possibilities are infinite. So far he has 900 models of bow ties, but he will continue to make new ones. Regarding the inspiration for his bow ties, each person and each thing can be a source of inspiration.
“Depends a lot on what type of fabrics I find in my chase for materials, another part of the bow ties is created with the help of customers, I get inspired from their ideas and requests”.
He guides himself, he doesn’t have a role model. In the infinite design of style “I don’t have examples in life, generally I guide myself by what life has thought me, I will not guide after others because things might not come out the same way.”
