Andrea Anastasio was born in Rome in ’61. After studying philosophy, he embarked on a cultural path that led him to collaborate on projects of cataloging Islamic architecture in India, research on the innovation of traditional craft techniques, collaborations with architectural firms, publishing houses and museums.

A keen observer of the contemporary and its languages, he conducts research nourished by an
anthropological approach to design, with a particular focus on pre-industrial artifacts and to the role they played in cultures of origin.
Fascinated by the study of the poetics of conceptual art and its potential convergences with industrial design, he designs furniture and objects for leading Italian companies on the international scene.

His research focuses on the manipulation of objects, consumer goods and domestic materials to generate contaminations of languages and meanings.
