Victor Castanera designs for Oblure

MARBLE, STEEL & HAND BLOWN GLASS IN PERFECT BALANCE

Balance is a playful and curiosity evoking tribute to the concepts of gravity and time. When we first saw the drawings of Victor Castaneras Balance we were thrilled. We knew we had to make it. The challenge was to keep the construction a secret from the beholder. Much of the greatness and beauty of Balance table lamp lies in the hidden.

BALANCE TRULY LIVES UP TO ITS NAME

The materials are carefully selected to keep the lamp in perfect balance. The base is made from black marble, beautiful and heavy keeping the construction steady. Hand blown glass is cut with perfect precision to align with the steel boards. The metal spheres have just the right density to counterweight the opposite side of the lamps construction. The light comes from custom designed LED spreading even and environmentally sustainable light. The LED is made to last long but are replaceable when the time comes. I want Balance to be a reminder of how extraordinary many everyday experiences are. With Balance I want to evoke the beholders curiosity of the world around them.
