In Perfect Equilibrium

Michael Anastassiades’ Mobile Chandeliers collection is an ongoing investigation into balance and equilibrium that dates back to 2008. Straight lines dominated the earliest pieces, but over the years a disciplined playfulness has seeped in via curves that enhance the dynamic nature of the pieces. The latest additions, unveiled at this year’s Salone del Mobile in Milan, convey a particular subtlety with the gentle sweep of straight, slender rods into the slightest of arcs. These delicate asymmetrical compositions of black patinated brass rods and mouth-blown opaline spheres are suspended in perfect balance – as Mobile Chandelier 14 (pictured) demonstrates superbly. In Singapore, Michael Anastassiades is available from P5 Studio.
