[JURY 2024-25]

After completing his studies in philosophy, Andrea Anastasio embarked
upon a cultural path that led him to cooperate on projects entailing the
cataloguing of Islamic architecture in India, research on innovation in
traditional craftsmanship techniques, partnerships with architectural
practices, publishers and museums. Fascinated by the study of the poetics
of conceptual art and its potential convergences with industrial design, he
designs furniture and objects for Italian companies that play a leading role
on the international scene. His research focuses on the manipulation of
objects, consumer goods and domestic materials, to generate
cross-contaminations of languages and meanings, such as in the Filo lamp,
a project he coined for Foscarini.
