Inside a lighting designer's luminous London home | The Stuff That Surrounds You | Wallpaper*

Sobre este vídeo

Welcome to the fourth instalment of the new Wallpaper* video series, The Stuff That Surrounds. Watch as we're invited into the intriguing and idiosyncratic homes of creatives and makers, catching a glimpse of their interior lives via the objects with which they surround themselves, all of which tell a story. In this episode, we step inside one of the most considered homes we've ever seen – the London home of designer Michael Anastassiades. The designer has called the loft-style space his home for 27 years, and has treated his home much like a testing ground for his designs, before they hit the market; you can find many early prototypes of his classic lighting designs in his home. His interior is paired back and highly personal – his collection of designs and objects is carefully curated and minimal. In fact unless an object is perfectly suited, Anastassiades prefers to live without it. While function is the main criteria for how he chooses an object to live with, the emotional and psychological aspect of a design is of huge importance to him as well.
