Balance Floor & Table

Overview

Jordi Vilardell designed Balance for Vibia. Model 5189 is a floor lamp that can also take the role of a ceiling luminaire, thanks to a rotating stand and a tilting shade. With a simple movement it lights different areas, as a dining or living room light or as a reading or working lamp.

Construction

The shade rests on a cantilevered metal rod. A counterweight system is activated by a small piece on the diffuser, and the shade then moves in any direction while staying parallel to the floor. The vertical tube is aluminium, the base is steel, the arm is stainless steel and the shade is aluminium.

Movement with purpose

The counterweight system lets Balance move smoothly in any direction with a simple gesture, so the lamp adapts to the space and to the moment. The shade is held out on a cantilevered rod.

Light that transforms

Balance can light a reading corner or a whole dining room. Although it is a floor lamp, its design can take the role of a ceiling luminaire and give broad, balanced ambient illumination, so a single piece can create several atmospheres.
