Michael Anastassiades’ pendulum light was housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum’s Norfolk House Music Room for the 2010 London Design Festival.
Like a silent, inverted metronome, the hanging arm of the bespoke installation held a glass light ball swinging in a perpetual rhythm. The mesmeric trajectory evoked a distant age, when the interplay between elegance and hospitality was a delicate balance and music sought to recreate the harmony of the spheres.
