Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.―Henry Ford
In Today’s Fast-Paced World
At SIAKOS.HANAPPE House of Art, we design luxury silk scarves that unite artistic heritage with contemporary elegance. In today’s fast-paced world, where trends shift overnight and mass production dominates, the enduring presence of art becomes ever more essential. Our collections of limited-edition silk scarves create a more intimate connection — refined and personal.
At SIAKOS.HANAPPE House of Art, we draw on a long history in contemporary art and close collaborations. Through this experience, we create silk scarves that are elegant, and precious. Each design celebrates the hand of the artist, and transforms the everyday into something timeless. In addition, every scarf offers art lovers an accessible way to carry beauty into daily life — more individual than mass fashion and more affordable than an artwork on the wall.
Founders with Vision
Els Hanappe is an art historian with an extensive background in contemporary art. She has worked as a gallery owner, exhibition curator, and private collection manager. Moreover, her experience has shaped a deep understanding of how art connects with people.
Lazarus Siakos is a self-taught artist and creative practitioner. His first collage series, Brillantism, became the foundation of the inaugural SIAKOS.HANAPPE luxury silk scarf collection.
Together, their paths merge art history with artistic creation, giving the brand both depth and originality.
Our Vision
SIAKOS.HANAPPE House of Art is a luxury brand shaped between Athens and Brussels — two places with deep and enduring artistic traditions.
We specialize in exclusive, artist-designed silk scarves that bring contemporary fine art into dialogue with refined craftsmanship and high-end fashion.
Working with international artists, we transform original artworks into limited-edition silk pieces. Each scarf becomes both a wearable object and a collectible work — allowing art to move beyond the gallery and into daily life.
As a boutique house, we combine curatorial sensitivity with professional structure. This approach allows us to grow thoughtfully and sustainably, while protecting the artistic integrity and creative assets at the heart of the brand.
Our Values
With a focus on the intersection of art, culture, and luxury, SIAKOS.HANAPPE creates products that speak to collectors, art enthusiasts, and style-conscious individuals.
Our promise rests on three pillars: artistic originality, exceptional craftsmanship, and emotional connection.
Each scarf arrives in premium packaging with accompanying literature. These details enhance its collectible value and preserve the story behind every piece.
For more than fifteen years, our name has carried recognition within the contemporary art world. Building on this foundation, we draw inspiration from our Greek and Mediterranean heritage while engaging with a broader European cultural landscape — infusing each creation with depth, dialogue, and enduring relevance.
Our Place
Athens plays a central role in the daily life of SIAKOS.HANAPPE House of Art — a city whose creative energy, craftsmanship, and light continue to shape our work.
From here, we engage closely with skilled artisanal manufacturers and trusted suppliers, ensuring the high standards of quality and care that define our silk scarves. The city’s strong logistics infrastructure also supports efficient distribution across Europe and beyond.
Operating within this environment allows us to remain closely connected to our supply chain while drawing inspiration from a place deeply rooted in European cultural heritage. It is a setting that supports thoughtful creation, agile collaboration, and sustainable growth.
