THE BALANCE A steady light through change
Angled wooden forms suggest movement, while a suspended metal plumb bob establishes a visual centre of balance.
For me, The Balance reflects our ability to adapt while keeping a clear direction — steady in thought and purpose, illuminated through change.
Metallic patinas, copper details and a fabric lampshade bring together a sculptural presence and soft light.
Designed and handmade by Greek artist Athanasios Liarokapis in his Dreamodelers studio in Greece, 2020.
THE ARTWORK YOU WILL RECEIVE
This listing is for ONE completed The Balance table lamp. You will receive the exact artwork shown in the individual product photographs.
The photographed piece is available. Please allow approximately six days for protective packaging, documentation and preparation for dispatch.
A Certificate of Authenticity identifying the artwork will accompany it.
LIMITED SERIES
The Balance belongs to a limited series of a maximum of two individually handmade versions.
Only this version has been created. One additional version may be produced in the future, with individual differences in its handmade details.
MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION
The composition combines moisture-resistant MDF, pine and fir, finished with metallic powder patinas and a protective water-based varnish.
Copper elements connect the wooden forms. A copper coil suggests tension, while a metal cone originally used as a builder’s plumb bob hangs at the centre.
The composition is fixed. Its articulated appearance suggests movement, but the structural elements are not intended to be adjusted.
A fabric lampshade completes the sculpture and softens the light.
LIGHTING AND ELECTRICAL DETAILS
The lamp has an E14 bulb holder, a European plug and an on/off switch on the cable.
One 2 W LED bulb rated for 220 V is included. Use LED bulbs only.
FOR BUYERS IN THE UNITED STATES AND OTHER 110–120 V COUNTRIES
The included 220 V bulb must be replaced with an E14 LED bulb rated for your local 110–120 V supply. Please note that E14 refers to the bulb’s screw-base size, not its voltage.
You will also need a suitable adapter connecting the lamp’s European plug to your local socket. The replacement bulb and plug adapter must be obtained separately by the buyer.
A plug adapter does not convert voltage. Before ordering, please contact me to confirm that the complete lamp’s electrical configuration is suitable for your destination.
