I wanted to design something

Kinetic Lights

"On view at the London Design Festival 2010 at the V&A is Michael Anastassiades's Kinetic Light, swinging in the Norfolk House Music Room at the V&A, like a silent metronome. "I wanted to design something to suit the room," said the desiger.

Michael Anastassiades trained as a Civil Engineer and is an Industrial Design graduate from zhe Royal College of Art. After working as a freelancer for various design consultancies, he set up his own studio in 1994. Since then he has been developing his work as a combination of product, furniture and enviroment design - creating works which established a psychological dimension between objects and users.

For years Michael has produced his work in very limited quantities as editions of quality crafted pieces and small runs. In 2007 he set up a company to increase the availability of his objects. He travelled around the world and located small family run workshops to fabricate his pieces. The workshops were selected for their unique manufacturing skills and tradition in the use of materials."
