Michael Anastassiades

Cypriot born Michael Anastassiades founded his London design studio in 1994. Schooled in industrial design and engineering at London's Royal College of Art and Imperial College Anastassiades is particularly renowned for his lighting products, which comprise 80% of his studio's commissions. His lighting collections for Flos -including the IC family and String range - are deceptively simple, yet meticulously detailed, which betray his training as a civil engineer and industrial designer. Since collaborating with the architectural firm Studio Mumba Anastassiades is increasingly working with some of the world's leading architects – including David Chipperfield and John Pawson and his light designs can be seen in hotels, restaurants and stores worldwide.
