PUMPKIN HOUSE
Traditional Cypriot Art and Craft in
the heart of Old Town Paphos
Pumpkin House was established less than five years ago. Traditionally, pumpkins were used on the Cypriot dining table to hold wine, and in the house to transport hot water for a shower or bash.
Before she opened Pumpkin House, Evi would sell her products in the various markets and bazaars in Paphos and Limassol.
Evi has been painting since her twenties.
Evi's grandmother gave her some paints, and she started to paint. Her inspiration came from the people and places she met in her life.
As well as Pumpkins, Evi also has many other creations. For instance, her shoe trees are themselves works of art. Shoetrees were traditionally given as charms on New Year's Day to keep evil spirits and the evil eye away from the house.
Come and see the creations of Evi Kokkinou!

Shoe Trees
I discovered the wooden shoetrees in grandfather's store room, at the old shoemaking shop. They were left forgotten on shelves, silent witnesses of an era where nothing was simple or imported. I was moved because they were wrapped up in human stories and dreams of handmade shoes worn with love and pride. I decided to give them a new lease of life and transform them to works of art, putting all the sensitivity, colours and imagination I had in me. From the store room of the shoemaking shop to the shelves of the modern homes, I created a bridge that unites the past with the present, the 1920s with 2016, as aesthetically beautiful as I could. A dedication to grandfather the shoemaker and all the forgotten shoemakers of yesteryear.
* Shoetrees were given as charms on New Year's Day to keep evil spirits and evil eye away from the House.
