Already a timeless icon of contemporary interior design, the Flos IC F1 Floor Lamp has been given a luxurious upgrade to celebrate its tenth birthday.
Taking inspiration from the cultural heritage created by ancient ornaments, designer Michael Anasatassiades has used 24-carat gold to turn this beautiful lamp into a symbol of eternal design. Preserving the proportions of the original, centred around the same spherical core element, the anniversary edition is a subtle yet impactful enhancement of the original. Each lamp is numbered and signed by the designer.
Positioned between fine art and design, Michael Anastassiades creates objects that are minimal, utilitarian and almost mundane, yet full of vitality one might not expect.
He launched his studio in 1994 to explore contemporary notions of culture and aesthetics through a combination of product, furniture and environmental design. The studio’s philosophy is a continuous search for eclecticism, individuality, and timeless qualities in design.
Michael Anastassiades trained as a civil engineer at London’s Imperial College of Science Technology and Medicine before taking a masters degree in industrial design at the Royal College of Art. He lives and works in London.
