FLOS STRING LIGHTDESIGNED BY MICHAEL ANASTASSIADES
Every time I take the train, I sit by the window and watch the series of perfectly parallel strings connecting
the pylons, as we move at high speed. I love the way they divide the landscape and how spheres are occa-
sionally beaded through the wires at random intervals. I also love how, in Mediterranean cultures, strings of
lights are stretched between posts to mark an outdoor space for an evening party in a village square. And
switches and power points) that others have chosen to position where we don’t want them.
This is how Michael Anastassiades, a Cypriot designer based in London and born in 1967, describes the
principle that inspired the Spring Lights ceiling lamp: a black electric wire that sets up a relationship
with the architecture of a space, precisely becoming part of the lines formed by the walls of a room. And
stretched out along these lines are two different light sources: one in the shape of an isosceles triangle,
the other in the form of a sphere. A system of tensors give volume and three-dimensionality to the form
outlined by this lightweight cord that plays with space, while the two LED lamps emit a warm light
Minimal and poetic like a
pencil line drawn in the air,
String Lights is an original
suspension, both conceptu-
ally simple and bold at the
same time. Anastassiades
has always sought the pri-
mordial and original essence
of forms and materials.
His designs move towards
abstraction, in a search
for purity that pursues an
exercise of stripping away,
taking objects and materials
back their original
dimension of bareness. My
work springs from an idea
of subtraction. Because a
naked object brought back
to its bare essentiality is the
expression of beauty.
His is a deceptive simplic-
ity, giving rise to objects
imbued with unexpected
vitality, and displaying the
highest quality craftsman-
ship.
