Featuring the same spherical form balanced perfectly against a slender rod, this tenth-anniversary version of the IC T1 Table Lamp is a striking example of how a simple design can be enhanced by the subtlest of touches.
Instead of the brass finish that adorns the regular version of the T1, Michael Anastassiades has chosen to use lustrous 24-carat gold, adding an extra layer of sumptuous luxury to the piece. Combined with the iconic and elegant blown glass shade, the gold finish creates a luxurious piece that elevates its surroundings. Each lamp is numbered and carries the designer’s signature.
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.
