Characterised by a mouth-blown opaline glass diffuser that tapers down to a small tip, the ceiling light's polished brass finish accentuates the refined qualities of this sophisticated piece. This ceiling light is a fine example of Michael Anastassiades' fascination with shape, especially the spherical form, combined with the ability of master glass-blowers to produce unique, exceptionally high quality pieces such as the Bob Ceiling Light.
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.
