From Mieke Meijer, a wooden LED lamp that only lights up when perfectly balanced. "The will to use it must be stronger than the fear of disturbing the balance."

Says Meijer, "In this design (see v1.0 here) 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."



"By leaving out unnecessary details, the lamp has an archetypal, almost graphic appearance."



Balance is available as table and floor model in three different material combinations.
