Efmorfidis Paul, Founder, COCO-MAT SA The naked abundance of the Laconian field is my birthplace. I have an everlasting yearning for knowledge but I pride myself only for knowledge that cannot be taught. I am insatiable for new travels, which makes me supremely rich. My wisdom is the price for my mistakes. One companion, four children, my brother and a handful of friends are the source of my inexhaustible inspiration. I long to reach out for the unknown and for everything that resists its unravelling. I have been walking this world for more than half a century being constantly at war with tallow until I transform myself into pure energy. COCO-MAT is merely a stop in my life’s journey. My destination is the salty taste of seaweed in my mouth, the shaking of the leaves at noon, the gasp of my lungs when I try to climb that steep road, the love that blooms between two quadriceps and two bicycle wheels, the bursting laugh in the dead of night.
