Positioned between fine art and design, his work aims to provoke dialogue, participation and interaction.

Michael Anastassiades clients and patrons include Rosenthal, Swarovski and Hussein Chalayan. Michael Anastassiades pieces also feature prominently in landmark interiors including Soho House New York and the Grand Hotel Stockholm.
