Collection: MICHAEL ANASTASSIADES

Michael Anastassiades is a Cypriot-born, London-based designer who founded his studio in 1994 and his own brand in 2007. The name Anastassiades stands for luminaires characterized by a poetic yet rigorous interpretation of technology, material, and functionality. His work draws from many sources, which he distills into pure, simple structures. From nature to archaic references from his native Cyprus, the history of modernism, very personal memories, art, and everyday life, he transforms a wealth of different references into a timeless vocabulary of forms and structures. Michael Anastassiades' design philosophy is to preserve the inherent qualities of the materials used. All products are handcrafted and exposed to the elements in their natural finish without protective lacquers. Oxidation is understood as a process that enhances the patina of an object, making it even more beautiful over time.
