Michael Anastassiades launched his studio in 1994 to explore contemporary notions of culture and aesthetics through a combination of product, furniture and environmental design. Positioned between fine art and design, his work aims to provoke dialogue, participation and interaction. He creates objects that are minimal, utilitarian and almost mundane with an identity and vitality one might least expect. Anastassiades’ work is featured in permanent collections at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. His clients and patrons include Rosenthal, Swarovski and Hussein Chalayan. His pieces also feature prominently in landmark interiors including Soho House New York and the Grand Hotel Stockholm. Michael Anastassiades, the company, was established in 2007 to introduce Michael’s signature pieces; a collection of lighting, furniture, jewellery and tabletop objects. It is manufactured with a craftsmanship that brings out the intrinsic beauty of the materials used in an honest and original manner. The company’s philosophy is to search for eclecticism, individuality, and timeless qualities in design.
