Michael Anastassiades is a Cypriot-born, London-based designer whose practice encompasses product, spatial interventions and experimental works, often transcending the distinctions between different fields of creativity. Anastassiades’ practice contemplates both industrial production and artisan techniques. In doing so, it expands into a vivid, nuanced balance between improvisation and structure, control and intuition. With a career spanning more than 20 years, Anastassiades has conceived lights, furniture and objects characterised by a poetic yet rigorous interpretation of technology, materials and functions. His work draws inspiration from many sources, which he distills into pure, simple structures.

For 3daysofdesign 2023, Michael Anastassiades will be presenting several new collections of lighting, in conversation with a selection of important furniture pieces from Dansk Møbelkunst. The exhibition, 'Stilleben 2' will celebrate Anastassiades’ close relationship with the gallery as well as his admiration for Nordic modernist design. The dialogue of the exhibition takes place through a metaphysical lens, suggesting unconventional connections between the pieces and how they could have been used. The display is a silent narrative of imaginative scenarios, proposing a situation where owners may have just left the scene. The exhibition will be supported by Anker & Co, Michael Anastassiades’ long-standing partner in Scandinavia.

Modern people need modern furniture to accommodate modern requirements in modern homes. That was the thinking behind Poul Cadovius’s unique, visionary and award-winning Abstracta® System, which was launched back in 1962. That conviction still applies today, as a brand new generation of the Abstracta® System is ready to meet modern people’s demand for functional and stylish design.

The philosophy at the root of the new generation is exactly the same as back in sixties, as is the design and the countless combination options. However, the color and material options have changed with the times. The biggest modification is in the core of the system - the new  Abstracta® connectors that hold the structures together.
