Michael ANASTASSIADES

Born in Cyprus, Michael Anastassiades trained in civil engineering at the Imperial College of Science Technology and Medicine in London. He went on to study industrial design at the Royal College of Art. He founded his studio in 1994 and launched his eponymous brand in 2007. Above all, it seeks to understand our relationship with objects, space and time. To do this, he explores proportions and materiality and attempts to reduce objects to their purest essence. "I'm looking for authenticity. At the end of the day, that's what makes an object desirable," he says. The designer explores many issues relating to time and space, and his creations are imbued with enigmatic poetry. Functionality is also omnipresent. Michael Anastassiades is renowned for his lighting collections and for the quality of the materials he uses, such as glass and bronze. He works with major designers such as Herman Miller, B&B Italia, Cassina and Flos. His work is also an integral part of the permanent collections of MoMA in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. He won the Designer of the Year 2020 award at Maison & Objet in Paris for his minimalist creations.
