About the Item
'Middleweight' three seater 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.

- Big Sur Sofa by MICHAEL HILALBy Michael HilalLocated in Antwerpen, BEThe Big Sur sofa by MICHAEL HILAL, which he describes “a love letter to California”. The varied topography of Hilal’s home state from mountains to rugged shoreline is the starting point for Big Sur’s shifting interplay of organic shapes. Configurations engage and form spaces for hanging out, catnapping, toasting cocktails or telling secrets. Conceived of as a room’s center-of-gravity, rather than a wallflower, the sofa transforms into a natural gathering place. The ease of California living, a signature concept in Hilal’s work, is reflected in the casual configurations and reconfigurations. The Collection includes two sofa configurations: BIG SUR 1.1 – A modern, sculptural take on a tête-à-tête, this sofa floats away from the wall, offering all sides for lounging and conversation. The single main component is doubled up and features two satellite stools. BIG SUR 1.2 – A 1970s conversation pit...Category
