Designer Michael Anastassiades’ resume is full of wonderfully spare products, lighting, and furniture—after all, his design approach pares an object to its essence. “I always like trying to understand how things relate to you,” he says. “Does it feel inviting? Does it feel threatening? All these different questions. And from then on, how do the different elements of that product relate to each other?” The Cypriot-born, London-based designer is currently being featured in an exhibition, “other than lights” at Berlin’s Andreas Murkudis through November 16.

In 1958, at the urging of Charles and Ray Eames, George Nelson and Herman Miller owner D.J. DePree created a space where designers could experiment on product prototypes.
