Michael Anastassiades Design

Biography:

Born in Cyprus in 1967, designer Michael Anastassiades moved to the United Kingdom in 1988 for school. He studied civil engineering at London's Imperial College (1988–91) and industrial design at the Royal College of Art (1991–93). In 1994, he founded his London studio. Anastassiades works with family-run workshops across the globe to fabricate his designs. His pieces—which include tabletop objects, lighting, and mirrors—combine sculpture, decorative art, and industrial design. Anastassiades's aesthetic is minimal yet dramatic; his designs often utilize rich, reflective materials and simple, geometric shapes, resulting in pieces that elegantly engage with their settings. Anastassiades's designs can be found in esteemed hotels, restaurants, and stores across the globe, as well as in the permanent collections of major cultural institutions—including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, and the FRAC Centre in Orleans, France. He has collaborated with a variety of designers and manufacturers, among them Hussein Chalayan, Swarovski Crystal Palace, Flos, and Lobmeyr.
