Appreciation towards Studio Mieke Meijer for providing the following description:

这是一款值得把玩的木制完美平衡灯。
Balance is a wooden LED lamp that only illuminates when perfectly balanced. The will to use it must be stronger than the fear of disturbing the balance.

The lamp was designed for the exhibition ‘Untouchables’ by collective Dutch Invertuals and first presented during Dutch Design Week 2011 in Eindhoven. With this exhibition the designers present their responses to the prevailing spirit of insecurity of our times and the downside of freedom. They transposed the theme of vulnerability into contemporary designs. Balance, delicacy, curiosity and transience have formed their inspi- ration. Mieke Meijer translated the theme of vulnerability into a lamp that consists of two balancing wood- en posts connected by a single wire. During the Salone del Mobile Mieke Meijer presented the improved version including a prototype of a suspension lamp within the same concept.

LEDs are hidden within the horizontal post. Over the entire length of both posts a brass strip conducts the low voltage current. When the brass strips touch, the electrical circuit is completed and the light turns on. The lamp is adjustable by sliding the horizontal post.

In this design the advantages of LED technology such as low power consumption, brightness, small size and long life are sympathetically combined with tactile materials such as walnut wood and cast bronze.The lamp is available as table and floor model in three different material combinations.
