Tetixbee.com has been designed so that the visitor can browse and purchase quickly. Having as a guide the large, clear images that highlight the works in all their grandeur and in every detail, they can find rare and really unique handmade decorative works of art, whether they search for a business gift or a home decorative item. The thematic categories of the works are inspired by Mother Nature and each one of them could narrate the nostalgic history of an entire place.

There is also the possibility of a special order, since the visitor can suggest their own idea, a design inspired by their own experiences and stories. In short, this is the story behind tetixbee, the company that Athena created in order to bring Greece and its art closer to the whole world. A philosophy that is obvious with the first reading of the name “tetixbee”, a game in two languages. Tetix from the ancient greek word “τέττιξ” which means cicada and bee…… like a new Aesop’s fable, which playfully mixes the present with the past, the nature and its magic contrasts.

The cool breeze… the seagulls
that rule the sky, following the
ship into the greek deep blue
sea… the king Sun, which
gives his amazing aureate.
This rear synthesis in driftwood,
sand and brass is an amaz-
ing memory trip into the greek
summer.

The estuaries of the sea give to the art-
ist the wood and the land, the alpaca
and the sand. Details inspired by the

Ship with 2 sea gulls
& sun on driftwood
wall decoration
brass
Two seagulls started talking underneath
the blonde sun rays and vigorously
spread their wings to the golden sails
of the ship. A nostalgic image so real,
familiar, connected to Greece, printed
on the immortal wood infused with salt-
iness. The ultimate colors of the Med-
iterranean nature give color and light
even to the dullest wall of an office.

The strong summer wind of the Med-
iterranean become an ally of the sails
and the ship rives the deep blue waters,
ready to start new adventures. The in-
tensity of the movement is printed into
such an extent, that you can almost
visualize the day when the artist was
gazing the deep blue sea of Chalkidiki.

Ship on a rock
table decoration
brass & arzanto
Deconstructing the abstractional de-
signs, there is nothing left than random
lifeless shapes. But when the brass
meets with the alpaca and the rock, a
lively image is originated and along with
it the stories of the sea and Greece. The
greek ship, which sets its sails for un-
known directions for centuries now…
follow its journey.

It seems like it stood motionless, end-
less, eternal. The dolphin playfully fol-
lows the wave, while the August full
moon reflects its silver light, so as the
magic moment wouldn’t be lost into
the darkness. In his own place into the
space, it will always be summer.

Dolphin on a rock

table decoration
arzanto & brass
The prettiest creature of the sea and
king of the seas for the ancient Greeks.
The alpaca and the brass with their col-
or contrasts, become alive through a
shape full of movement, while the sim-
plicity in the rendition creates the most
beautiful associations for those who
truly appreciate the “thrifty wealth” of
nature.

Fish on driftwood
table decoration
brass
It seems like Poseidon has shaken up
with his trident and a maritime crea-
ture similar to a mythical monster has
emerged from the stormy waters. The
sea becomes an inspiration for the art-
ists who create with wood and brass
almost mystical stories of the sea in
their workshop.

Fish on driftwood
table decoration
brass
Since ancient times, the fish has been
an inspiration and a decorative ele-
ment on the pots. Here, the auric fish
is captured in movement as if it was in
its natural habitat and traveled to the
depth of the deep blue sea. A themat-
ic gift which gives to the room a nos-
talgic touch of summer and light.

The brass and the driftwood came alive,
took a shape and got breath. The little
fish dived and found itself into the sea
bed in order to rest next to a pebble.
A univocal design inspired by Mother
Nature reminds us that the beauty lies
on the grandeur of simplicity.

5 sea gulls on
driftwood & sand
table decoration
In a lone seaside, behind a tall rock the
seagulls suddenly made their appear-
ance. They are surging into the sky cre-
ating a frame so powerful and intense,
that the artist almost felt like he was
part of their journey. Each design has a
story to tell. And each recipient of this
gift may create anew his own story just
by looking at it.

The sacred bird of Hermes, which has
a special place even in Homer’s Odys-
sey. In this wall decoration item, three
seagulls meet unexpectedly on the
driftwood and open their wings excit-
ing our imagination and at the same
time, pouring oil on troubled waters
with their soft power.

The sacred olive oil. The most precious gift
of goddess Athena to Greeks. In spite of
its divine ancestry, it is also simple, ethere-
al and earthy. Its single leaf is created with
remarkable attention. From the fruit to the
rock and its branches, this work is impreg-
nated with the aromas of Greece.

It seems like it has found room for
breathing -where no one had expect-
ed- and grows shyly but also proudly.
And so, where grey and lifeless dom-
inated, life abolished the motionless-
ness and gave its wonderful silver-high-
lighted fruit.

Olive with fruit

Whoever offered its branch, they were
accepted with respect. A symbol of
peace, an inspiration for the arts, a

leaves, asks today its place so as to
continue to inspire with its simplicity
and its absolute beauty.

An oleaster’s wreath, or “kotinos” in an-

honorably to the Olympic winners and
the ultimate distinction for every citizen.

Oak wreath

brass
Made with complete dedication in every
detail, the leaves of the wreath seem so
vivid and light that have no reason to
be jealous of the real ones. The lively
color of the oak, its unorganized shape,
its eternal quality… these are elements
attributed to a lifeless material and un-
expectedly give it its own soul.

Butterfly on a rock
with grass
table decoration
big arzanto & brass
The charm of nature is revealed into the most
surprising forms. Just like the butterfly with
its lively colors and aerial form. This is how
exactly the artist wanted to attribute it, that’s
why he kept its light flying and combined
it with the land- a little grass and a rock. A
beautiful decorative item transformed into
a gesture of appreciation or love between
two people.

Butterfly with a
coral on a rock with

The pretty beads give color to the bright sil-
ver. The grass joins the earthy with the aer-
ial. The rock becomes a symbol of stability
and the wings a symbol of unconcern. Each
element has its own place in this elegant
work of art and each contrast attributes the
beauty that is hidden in the nature when it
meets the artist’s creativity.

In ancient Greece, butterflies were
called souls and related to the mythi-
cal character “Psyche” that even Aph-

self felt in love with. Each item of the

it, share it… make it part of your gift, in
order to elevate its true value.

It seems like it came through Aristophanes’
“Peace”, the dove spread its wings and

where. The firm brass is transformed here
to a restless symbol of freedom which trav-
els the mind and soul with its unsophisti-
cated beauty.

Horse on wood

Even the most abstractional shape can nar-
rate stories that travel us thousands of years
back to the past. The curvy lines here create
a proud horse which could probably be Bu-

and his loyal companion. Let your imagina-
tion ride with him…

Predator, fast, one of the best hunters in

calm, peaceful as if it rests from its long-hour
flights. Don’t be hasty to reveal the identity
of the decorative item… let the others dis-
cover its vague charm by themselves.

Enigmatic, lordly, vivid, affectionate…
the “felis catus” -commonly referred to

frequenter to the alleys of the greek vil-
lages and islands, is “captured” here to

keeping her alert.

House & tree on a
rock with crystals

arganto & brass
In the eyes of a little child, the proportions,
the strict attribution of reality, the right and
wrong don’t matter at all. And so here, with
the same “childish” attitude, the artist left his
imagination free and by using his raw ma-
terials he brought together nature and hu-
man creation.

House on a rock
table decoration
arganto & brass
The rock becomes an alley. The brass
and the alpaca turn into construction
materials. And that’s how the house
is created. One of the most precious
constants in man’s life, his everlasting
snuggery, a symbol of security. The art-
ist left his imagination free and combin-
ing the materials he transformed one
of our daily images into a work of art.

pet becomes his fellow traveler and his way
of expression. The music lovers will recog-
nize the definitive of the feeling, expressed
by the unexpected shapes that the rock and
the arzanto take.

Treble clef on a

The lava bead and the arzanto came to-
gether and through their lifeless union
a melody was created. The treble chef
emerged by the processing of the ma-
terials of earth and stood alone, remind-
ing us that the expressions of soul and
imagination start form the simplest and
most univocal things.

ing of the construction art with the music
can be nothing else but inspiration for those
who truly love creation.

of a new creation. Lava bead, arzanto,
a small bead and imagination…
Few “materials” are enough to shape
something special.
