Magnets Make this versatile table Lamp Defy Gravity

Meet the Acrobat from Normann Copenhagen.

November 2, 2015 

it can be no wonder that Normann Copenhagen dubbed one among its newest lamps the Acrobat—the sunshine supply can balances in myriad methods on its base. Prop it up on one finish, cantilever it to the aspect, angle the bulb up or down. thanks to the ability of magnets, that you may modify it to your liking and it should stay secure.

Marc Venot, who studied to be a physicist ahead of changing into a designer, describes the lamp’s metaphor:

An acrobat is any person who can do extraordinary issues without losing their steadiness. It seems like he is going to fall over at any given second, however he does not. He toys with gravity itself, leaving the observer fascinated and shocked. this is the roughly impact i needed to create with this lamp.

Illuminated by LEDs, the lamp has an anticipated lifespan of 27 years and comes in 4 colours. One caveat to the Acrobat? just like Magneto has the ability to immobilize his enemies together with his superpowers, the sturdy magnets on this design may potentially intervene with electronics, the manufacturer cautions.

in finding the Acrobat at normann-copenhagen.com for $410.
