Michael Anastassiades launched his London 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 yet full of a vitality one might not expect. His industrial clients and patrons include Rosenthal, Swarovski and Hussein Chalayan. His pieces also feature prominently in important interiors including Soho House New York and the Grand Hotel Stockholm.
Anastassiades's work has been shown in numerous exhibitions worldwide and is featured in the permanent collections of The Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
Mr. Anastassiades trained as a civil engineer at Imperial College London before taking a Masters degree in industrial design at the Royal College of Art, London. He lives and works in London.
