Michael Anastassiades

Michael Anastassiades is a Cypriot designer based in London. He opened his studio in 1994 with the aim of exploring contemporary notions of culture and aesthetics through the combination of products, furniture and environmental design. Balanced between fine arts and design, his works are created to provoke dialogue, participation and interaction. Minimalist and functional, almost understated, his objects exude an unexpected vitality. Anastassiades' works are held in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Crafts Council in London, the FRAC Centre in Orléans and the MAK in Vienna.
