Michael Anastassiades

"The first collection of pieces to be introduced follow two years of meticulous preparation. It combines fine detailing with honestly expressed materials reinforcing the elegant simplicity of the designs."











"For years Michael has produced his work in very limited quantities as editions of quality crafted pieces and small runs. In 2007 he set up a company to increase the availability of his objects. He traveled around the world and located small family run workshops to fabricate his pieces. The workshops were selected for their unique manufacturing skills and tradition in the use of materials.

The first collection of pieces to be introduced follow two years of meticulous preparation. It combines fine detailing with honestly expressed materials reinforcing the elegant simplicity of the designs. All the products are hand made in unlimited editions. The glass work is free blown, the stone work is hand carved, and the metal finishes are bespoke. Each piece, stamped with the designer's mark, is manufactured in accordance with the purity of his original vision. Michael Anastassiades' philosophy is to produce exceptionally designed objects of permanent value."

more information on Jean Royere's desk:

"Jean Royère was a self-taught designer who began working on interiors in 1931. By the 1940s he was achieving major international success, particularly in the Middle East. Following the opening of his first gallery in Paris in 1942, he opened branch offices in Cairo in 1946 and in Beirut in 1947. Royère designed this desk for his own study in 1948, at a time when his practice was flourishing.

The lattice that forms the outer frame of the desk is a signature component in much of Royère's furniture. One of his most recognisable designs was the 'Eiffel Tower' pattern, a black lattice with gold balls at the intersections, which was used for items ranging from wall lamps to tables. He also designed wooden and rattan pieces using lattice patterns, and a range of furniture entitled Croisillons - 'Lattices' - incorporating metal lattices painted in bright colours."
