Maison Et Objet 2020<\/strong><\/em><\/span> has elected Michael Anastassiades<\/strong><\/em><\/span> as the designer of the year<\/strong><\/a> for the next edition! Happening from January 17th-21st, in Paris, this design fair will start the new year in the best way possible, with the showcase of novelties and trends from exciting and luxurious exhibitors.\u00a0Michael Anastassiades<\/strong><\/em> first presented his brand at Maison Et Objet<\/strong><\/em>, so it made absolute sense for him to be coming back as the designer of the year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Unveil<\/a><\/p>\n

Michael Anastassiades<\/strong><\/em> launched his lighting brand\u00a0in 2007, where he first presented his collection at the\u00a0Maison et Objet<\/strong><\/em>. Now, he is coming back as Designer of the Year<\/strong>. In the meantime, he has become one of the most poetic and prolific\u00a0lighting designers<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0working today. In his work, the Cypriot designer uses simple shapes and volumes \u2013 a sphere, a line, a circle \u2013 to create a rich language where uncertainty and\u00a0imbalance are embraced.<\/p>\n

Although best known for his lighting, he has designed with the same rigour and clarity in all fields:\u00a0furniture\u00a0for the likes of B&B Italia<\/strong>, Herman Miller, Cassina; drinking glasses for Lobmeyr; speakers for Bang & Olufsen; a public project in Mint Street, London; a drinking fountain for the Victoria & Albert Museum. His work can be found in\u00a0permanent collections\u00a0at the Museum Of Modern Art<\/strong> in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago<\/strong>, the Victoria & Albert Museum, London, the MAK in Vienna, the Crafts Council<\/strong> in London and the FRAC Centre in Orleans France.<\/p>\n

The simplicity encourages curiosity, and curiosity leads to participation and interaction, a constant feature of all Anastassiades\u2019\u00a0projects. A perfect example is The Fleet Drinking Fountain<\/strong>, which conceals the technical aspects without compromising aesthetics and has become more of an experience than just a place to stop and fill a bottle. He strongly believes we should surround ourselves with objects that will last a very long time, that design should not be short-sighted. His desire is to\u00a0design for the long term and indeed his objects have a\u00a0timeless quality\u00a0to them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Maison Et Objet 2020<\/strong><\/em>, Michael Anastassiades<\/strong><\/em> wants to offer an experience, besides presenting his collection. For the very first time, all 16 of his Mobile Chandeliers<\/strong>, will be showcased together: in the dark space, the lights, propelled by motors, will move as if planets. Once more, Anastassiades is working simultaneously with the qualities and conditions of darkness and light and displaying them at Maison Et Objet 2020<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n
