IC Brass Floor Lamp by Michael Anastassiades for Flos, Italy
ABOUT
The IC Lamp F2 consists of a blown glass diffuser mounted on an ultra-thin yet stable brass frame. Positioned in a seemingly precarious manner, as if it’s ready to drop any moment, the perched frosted blown glass sphere lends captivating tension to the design. Designed to be tucked under a sofa or chair, the cord is positioned up front to be hidden. Dimmer switch at base.

HISTORY
After being schooled in industrial design and engineering at the Royal College of Art and Imperial College in London, Michael Anastassiades founded his own studio in 1994. His work falls somewhere in between the industrial and sculptural, especially his lighting, which consists of reflective materials such as polished bronze and mirrored glass in simple geometric shapes. Anastassiades’ pieces can be found in hotels, restaurants and shops worldwide, including the SoHo House New York, the Grand Hôtel Stockholm and Sergio Rossi boutiques.
