ELDC bring Michael Anastassiades to talk in South Africa

At the end of May, ELDC brought out the renowned Michael Anastassiades to give a talk at Design Joburg where he delved deeper into his iconic lighting and furniture pieces. Anastassiades launched his studio in 1994 to explore contemporary notions of culture and aesthetics through a combination of product, furniture and environ- mental design. Positioned between fine art and design, his work aims to provoke dialogue, participation and interaction. He creates objects that are minimal, utilitar- ian and almost mundane, yet full of vitality one might not expect. He has designed products with various leading manufacturers including FLOS, Lobmeyr and Svenskt Tenn. In 2007 he set up the company Michael Anastassiades Ltd to produce his signature pieces; a collection of lighting, furniture, jewellery, and tabletop objects. Anastassiades trained as a civil engineer at London’s Imperial College of Science Technology and Medicine before taking a masters degree in in- dustrial design at the Royal College of Art. He lives and works in London. www.eldc.co.za
