Michael Anastassiades and Flos: a new chapter
After more than a decade of collaboration, Flos and Michael Anastassiades enter a new phase of their creative partnership. Flos welcomes the extensive lighting portfolio previously developed and distributed under the designer’s own brand into its universe. A natural evolution that builds on their longstanding relationship while preserving the identity, design language and vision of the original works.
A creative partnership spanning more than a decade
Flos and Michael Anastassiades have explored lighting design together since 2011. Their collaboration has given rise to collections that have become landmarks of contemporary lighting design, from String Lights and IC Lights to Captain Flint, Arrangements, winner of the Compasso d’Oro in 2020, and Coordinates. Today, the partnership enters a new phase as Flos welcomes into its universe the lighting portfolio developed and distributed by the Michael Anastassiades brand over the past twenty years, beginning with three designs. Flos will reinterpret and engineer the designs as they join the catalogue, while preserving their formal language, expressive qualities and original design vision.
Tip of the Tongue
DESIGN MICHAEL ANASTASSIADES, 2013 - EDIZIONE FLOS, 2026
On the edge of form
An opaline glass sphere appears to roll around the base of Tip of the Tongue, creating an intriguing visual illusion. Poised as if about to fall, the sphere evokes the sensation of having a word on the tip of your tongue but being unable to retrieve it from memory.
Materials and finishes
Mouth-blown opaline glass diffuser with a base in galvanised metal or glazed ceramic, available in six finishes: 24K Gold, Black Nickel, Green, Red, Blue and Grey.
Relay
DESIGN MICHAEL ANASTASSIADES, 2013 - EDIZIONE FLOS, 2026
Light in balance
Reduced to a few essential elements, Relay pairs a linear light source with a solid block of stone. An invisible magnetic connection holds the two elements together, creating an unexpected sense of balance between the weight of the stone and the lightness of the illuminated tube.
Materials and finishes
Mouth-blown opaline glass diffuser with a base in galvanised metal or glazed ceramic, available in six finishes: 24K Gold, Black Nickel, Green, Red, Blue and Grey.
Frame 3x3
DESIGN MICHAEL ANASTASSIADES, 2013 - EDIZIONE FLOS, 2026
A window of light
An open square grid reinterprets the window as a sculptural, luminous structure. Organised in a 3×3 configuration, Frame 3x3 recalls illuminated ceiling panels and draws inspiration from Ellsworth Kelly’s Windows series of paintings.
Materials and finishes
Polished chrome-plated aluminium structure with white-painted inner surfaces and recessed LED strips.
