Pierre-Yves Rochon, A Certain Idea of Luxury

Light and Space

Maison et Objet’s Designer of the Year January 2020, Michael Anastassiades, has made light his favourite subject. His luminous objects interact with space in a constant search for movement and balance. The illusionary simplicity of his designs is a labour of love, and not something easily achieved. In his view, designers are there to create relationships and interactions between people and objects.

Contemporary Craft: Reinventing the Traditional Know-How
