Michael Anastassiades and Flos: A New Chapter

Michael Anastassiades and Flos: a new chapter

The lighting portfolio of Michael Anastassiades enters the Flos catalog

Michael Anastassiades’ work stems from a vision of technology, materials and function that is both poetic and rigorous. Nature, modernism, memory and everyday life inspire a timeless formal and structural language shaped by both craftsmanship and industrial production.

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, Coordinates, and Arrangements, which won the Compasso d’Oro in 2020. Today, the partnership enters a new phase as Flos welcomes into its universe the lighting portfolio developed and distributed by Michael Anastassiades' own brand over the past twenty years. Tip of the Tongue marks the beginning of this new chapter. As the designs join the catalog, Flos will reinterpret and reengineer them, while preserving their formal language, expressive qualities and original design vision.

“Since it began in 2011, my collaboration with Flos has become an important part of my work as a lighting designer. Today, I see it as a natural evolution that the projects I have developed under my own brand over the past twenty years should continue their journey with Flos.”

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.
