Defined by an alluring, egg-shaped opal globe of light, the contemporary ceiling light was designed as a homage to the mysterious pendant that appears in the famous Altar painting of Piero della Francesca in the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan. A stunning piece that provides an inviting, diffused illumination, the striking petrol blue metal rod beautifully complements the opal shade, forming a sculptural design that can effortlessly integrate into the modern home. Ideal for hanging low over a dining table, high in a hallway or as a dynamic cluster in a large, open-plan space, the uncomplicated, geometric design is perfectly timeless.
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.
