As graceful and balanced as the other pieces in the IC collection, the IC S2 Pendant Light has been updated to celebrate the collection’s tenth anniversary.
Designer Michael Anastassiades has taken his design and elevated it with the addition of 24-carat gold plating, transforming it from an already iconic piece of design into an enduring symbol of persistence inspired by ancient ornaments. Preserving the original piece’s proportions and form, the pendant 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.
