The series’ name, After, celebrates the ongoing dialogue between past and present design and how each generation reinterprets the creative spirit of those who came before. Anastassiades’ deep-rooted expertise in industrial production and artisanal techniques is channelled into the After’s pure, sculptural form which offers enduring ergonomic comfort.
Available in an oiled ash or rich burgundy-coloured finish, the After Chair brings the timeless appeal of wood to your home, adding warmth and functional beauty to any living or dining space.
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.
