Luminous transparencies

Balanced between art and design, the Michael Anastassiades collection is the epitome of his thinking. As is Onyx Light

The vision of the purest “poet of the imagination,” Michael Anastassiades, takes form in the collections of the trademark of the same name, including offerings in the field of lighting and objects.

This microcosm also contains Onyx Light, a decorative sculpture made from a single block of onyx, carefully selected for its transparency and grain. Every resulting vase is distinctive, though a single lot is utilized to create 20 specimens, similar to each other in terms of character and color. Every series thus becomes a limited edition.
