TALENT REVEALED

Back in 1960, in a small neighbourhood close to the center of Athens, Vartan Papazian's beloved cousin, a skilful jewellery maker, decided to open a store demonstrating his handmade collections.

Mr. Papazian, a self-taught specialist at his early 20s, was asked to draw a layout of the store. But he did not stop there... He also had some additional ideas regarding the displays intended for the store. He presented all of them on a plain white paper and everyone was really impressed by his drawings and talent.

COMPANY FOUNDATION

Three years later, Vartan Papazian employed three of his relatives, found the appropriate suppliers and started producing bespoke jewellery displays in a small workshop, at the size of a tiny one room flat. Vartan Papazian company was born out of a desire to create functional and durable products from the finest fabrics and materials.

FIRST ATTEMPT AT FOREIGN MARKETS

Vartan Papazian was convinced to sell his products outside of Greece. His first attempt was a business trip to Cyprus. What he needed was a simple suitcase with some samples, a notebook with his designs and his sales capacity. He visited some of the most remarkable jewellery shops, made some serious business with the owners and returned as a winner.

ATTENDING THE MOST SIGNIFICANT SHOW, BASELWORLD

In anticipation of finding an open space in Baselworld exhibition, Papazian company was finally chosen to participate in the show during 2003, after eight years from the company's initial proposal to the fair's management. Vartan Papazian now admits that this was not an easy task. On the contrary, this was a costly and time-consuming procedure. Three more years of attendance needed for the company to establish its reputation abroad.

Nowadays, Papazian still attends the show every year and its name is naturally related to quality in terms of window display creations.
