Key Takeaway
FLOS and Michael Anastassiades are strengthening a partnership that already spans more than a decade. A selection of designs from the Anastassiades portfolio will join the FLOS catalogue, pairing his reduced formal language with FLOS manufacturing and distribution. The first three FLOS editions — Tip of the Tongue, Relay, and Frame — launch later this year.
A longer partnership
Anastassiades has designed for FLOS for more than ten years — from IC Lights to Arrangements, String Lights, and architectural pieces such as My Spot. The new agreement takes that collaboration a step further: selected works from his own studio portfolio will now be produced and distributed as FLOS editions, without rewriting their original identity.
FLOS brings technical development, manufacturing, and a global catalogue. Anastassiades brings the designs as they stand — the same tension, geometry, and material discipline that already sit in the FLOS range.
Three FLOS editions first
The first three editions are scheduled later this year.

A mouth-blown opaline sphere appears to rest on the edge of a solid polished brass base — a moment of balance that Anastassiades likens to a word just out of reach. Table lamp; H 300 mm. Finishes include 24K gold, black nickel, green, red, blue, and grey. E14 LED (max 8 W); cord dimmer.
A linear opaline borosilicate glass tube meets a marble block through a magnetic connection — “minimal support,” as the designer puts it. Floor lamp; H 1695 mm. Bases: White Carrara marble, Black Marquina marble, or Basaltina stone. Integrated LED 32 W, 2400 lm, 2400 K; cord dimmer.
A 600 × 600 mm ceiling luminaire that references the familiar office grid light, and Ellsworth Kelly’s Windows series: strong horizontality, a precise square, dimmable warm glow. Integrated LED 52 W, 4410 lm (85% down / 15% up), 2700 K, CRI >90. Chrome-plated aluminium; TRIAC, DALI2, or 0/10 V.
Together they read as table, floor, and ceiling — three scales, one author.
