Irakli's style, in his design, as in his textile creations and his paintings, is distinguished by sober lines enriched with figurative elements as faces, fauna and flora. Color plays a subtle role and acts through touches of light or bright tones on darker backgrounds with mixture of pigments or pieces applied to ceramics, precious or semi-precious stones to jewelry. Irakli seeks a constant balance between simplicity and exuberance, between function and beauty. His writing is very personal and mixes all the cultures he immerses himself in.
