Michael Anastassiades

Michael Anastassiades is a London-based designer who prides himself on the beauty of both industrial production and artisan techniques. This gives him to have structural quality control as well as the ability to improvise and form ideas through creativity in design.

With a career spanning 20 years, Michael Anastassiades has designed iconic lighting products for brands such as Flos and, more recently, for his own design studio Michael Anastassiades. He formed his own designer brand in 1994 and has based it in London, England. This has allowed him to produce his own signature collections of lighting, furniture, jewelry, and tabletop objects.

The designs that Michael Anastassiades produces are described as 'poetic yet rigorous' in their interpretation of technology, materials, and functionality. This can be seen in the elegant, weightless, and popular design Anastassiades produced for Flos. The Coordinates collection demonstrates the designer's passion for structural quality and poetic use of materials. However, this design also embodies the improvisation Michael Anastassiades uses in his work.
