The company began in 2014 when the creator Marina Griponisioti found herself in a car garage. There were many fallen tires there, so she thought to experiment with one of them. She borrowed the garage tools and made her first belt. In the same period, she began to process an old portable speaker, the parts of which turned out as a colorful and fantastic jewel.
This was how it started, by collecting inner tubes, tires and electrical equipment and at present Convert Art has 60 different types of products over 400 different designs.

In December of the same year, Convert Art was selected to participate in the European Final of the StartUp Europe Awards in Brussels.
In December of 2014, Convert Art created a workshop on processing, design and construction. There was also a Convert Art Lab store, where apart from Convert Art products; the company also hosts a large collection of handmade jewelry and accessories from Greeks designers.
