Architonic ID: 20766576
Año de Lanzamiento: 2024
Un espejo minimalista y poético, al estilo de Michael Anastassiades. Una creación que une la alta manufactura y la técnica para llevar una presencia imaginativa al espacio doméstico, capaz de donar reflejos mientras parece fundirse con el horizonte, simulando un sol al atardecer. La fabricación de Gibbous consiste en calentar una placa de vidrio pesado en el horno durante horas: el calor deforma una parte bajo su propio peso, generando un pliegue. Los espesores del espejo, creados con maestría por los trabajadores, realzan su personalidad. La colección se compone de dos modelos de diferentes tamaños y pueden instalarse en la pared, a la altura deseada, de diferentes maneras: entre el ángulo de dos paredes o colgado en correspondencia con un mueble debajo, sobre el que Gibbous parecerá fundirse como el sol en el horizonte. El sector más grande del espejo puede complementarse con un sistema de iluminación LED para amplificar el juego de superposiciones de luces y sombras.

Michael Anastassiades launched his studio in 1994 to explore contemporary notions of culture and aesthetics through a combination of product, furniture and environmental design. Positioned between fine art and design, his work aims to provoke dialogue, participation and interaction. He creates objects that are minimal, utilitarian and almost mundane, yet full of vitality one might not expect. Anastassiades’ work is featured in permanent collections at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, the Craft Council in London, the FRAC Centre in Orleans, France, and the MAK in Vienna. His solo exhibitions include Time and Again at the Geymüllerschlössel/MAK in Vienna, To Be Perfectly Frank at Svenskt Tenn in Stockholm, Norfolk House Music room at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, Cyprus Presidency at the European Parliament in Brussels, Belgium. One of the most recent exhibitions explores what Anastassiades calls the “contemporary anxieties of modern Cyprus” entitled Reload the Current Page at the Point Centre for Contemporary Art in Nicosia, Cyprus, and the collection General Illuminations, as part of the exhibition Doings on Time and Light at Rodeo Gallery, Istanbul. 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. The studio’s philosophy is a continuous search for eclecticism, individuality, and timeless qualities in design. Michael Anastassiades trained as a civil engineer at London’s Imperial College of Science Technology and Medicine before taking a masters degree in industrial design at the Royal College of Art. He lives and works in London.
