Michael Anastassiades’ Tip of the Tongue Table Lamp is an expression of the designer’s fascination with shape, especially the spherical form, combined with his desire to exploit the inherent properties of the materials he uses; the result is this gorgeous luminaire - an elegant fusion of creativity and minimalism.
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.
