Michael Anastassiades has designed the T-Square shelving series for new French furniture brand COEDITION. This range offers wall shelves of pure refinement and exemplary sobriety. The Cypriot designer's work is characterised by minimalist forms and luxurious and sensual creations thanks to the quality of materials used. Originally designed with an oak top, the T-Square shelf is now available in a marble version with a triangular support in polished solid brass or stainless steel. The pure shapes of the shelf combined with the high quality finishes make T-Square a light and elegant design piece to be installed in a living room, kitchen or bedroom. "A simple shelf, suspended by a strap, that seems to be in perfect balance. Acrobatics between the objects placed on both sides. The two elements sit against the wall with a precision reminiscent of beautifully crafted architectural drawings."

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.
