Dispersing a warm, diffused light through a tubular glass base, the Last Order Lamp takes its cylindrical design directly from that of the ancient column. Rechargeable by USB cable, the enduring battery life and lightweight design mean that the lamp can be effortlessly manouvered whilst illuminate spaces for up to 6 hours. Whether used to light a reading corner or cosy dining space, standing at only 14cm high, the compact Last Order creates a relaxed ambience where ever it may find itself.
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.
