Maison et Objet’s Designer of the Year January 2020, Michael Anastassiades, has made lighting design his favorite subject. His luminous objects interact with space in a constant search for movement and balance. The illusionary simplicity of his designs is a labor of love, and not something easily achieved. In his view, designers are there to create relationships and interactions between people and objects.
