'Middleweight' Michael Anastassiades by Karakter
About the Item
'Middleweight' armchair by Michael Anastassiades for Karakter.
Middleweight is Michael Anastassiades’ very first upholstered piece of furniture. The piece captures the best of two worlds, the Italian super lounge sofa on one side and the compact Danish box sofa on the other. Set on a thin, open steel frame, the cushions are firmly held together by zippers and carefully mitered in the corners of the frame, resembling the sharp edges of folded paper.
“This was my first sofa design, but actually the biggest surprise didn’t come until the product was finalized – when we stood there, looking at the actual sofa, and it looked exactly like what I had in my head. It is a great satisfaction as a designer. You can’t accelerate the process of design. An IDEA has to come when the time is right, so you have to stretch the process as long as possible and allow for enough time to get the ideas and experiments across.”
Middleweight is a luxuriously comfortable armchair, 2-seater or 3-seater sofa and pouf.

He has designed products with various leading manufacturers. In 2007 he set up Michael Anastassiades the company to produce his signature pieces, a collection of lighting, furniture, jewellery and tabletop objects.
