The geometry of light

摘要

Michael Anastassiades is an intriguing fellow: a Cypriot by birth and a Londoner by choice, he studied civil engineering and industrial design in London, at the Imperial College and at the Royal College of Art respectively. Hence his meticulous approach to the design of light, but also his way of working with elementary forms such as spheres, rods and elongated rectangles. For Anastassiades, the design of a lamp is not confined to the finished object, but extends into its surrounding space and into the chiaroscuro textures that it projects around it.
