Decoration is all about clever solutions and displaying objects you already have in unique ways.
This is how Michael Anastassiades, a Cypriot designer based in London and born in 1967, describes the principle that inspired the String Lights ceiling lamp for Flos: a black electric wire that sets up a relationship with the architecture of a space, precisely becoming part of the lines formed by the walls of a room. And stretched out along these lines are two different light sources: one in the shape of an isosceles triangle, the other in the form of a sphere.
"Every time I take the train, I sit by the window and watch the series
of perfectly parallel strings connecting the pylons, as we move at high
speed. I love the way they divide the landscape and how spheres are
occasionally beaded through the wires at random intervals.
I also love how, in Mediterranean cultures, strings of lights are
stretched between posts to mark an outdoor space for an evening party in
a village square. And finally, I love how human ingenuity works around
problems created by everyday things in the house (like switches and
power points) that others have chosen to position where we don’t want
them."
