Balance

Drawing inspiration from the Bauhaus movement and from the sculptural works of Joan Miró and Alexander Calder, Balance consists of a pair of disc shapes suspended by twinned cables, one beneath the other, hung in perpendicular directions. The upper half of each disc is opaque machined aluminum while the lower half is a transparent acrylic lens with a frosted edge emitting a glare-free warm tone. Compositionally balanced while creating visual tension, Balance offers an arresting sculptural accent in a beautifully functional luminaire.

Debuting at ICFF, the International Contemporary Furniture Fair, May 20-23, 2018 in New York City, these new luminaire systems share Archilume’s signature characteristic: glare-free illumination employing the principle of total internal reflection optics, a natural phenomenon perfected and brought to the world of decorative lighting by Archilume.

New Finish Option
A satin translucent frosted lens option is now available for Balance, Alto, and Aura as well as for Archilume’s original luminaire. This option provides a soft diffuse warm-tone light offering a balanced intimate light setting. A conical shape at the bottom of the lens forms a beautiful visual accent while functioning as a light diffuser. This imbues the luminaire with a sensual appeal in both its illuminated and shut-off states.

The minimal look of the Archilume line has been used to create subtle and intimate accents with its previous products. Now the same design sensibility has been expanded into additional luminaires that have a sophisticated yet glamorous presence. Visually, the luminaires take on a jewel like quality when observed in multiple cluster configurations. The new products allow designers and owners more choice in creating their own unique spatial lighting compositions.

Suited for the ultra-modern to heritage-style interiors, Archilume’s luminaries are ideal for counter and bar areas, or in clustered formations as chandeliers in hotel lobbies, entrances, lounges and dining areas. The full line is versatile and offers the option to order custom configurations for commercial and residential projects.
