Description
Freely inspired by the Starship Enterprise from the Star Trek TV series, Bascula is an icon of lightness and innovation. One of the first thin-disc lamps suspended on a single cable, its minimalist design conceals a sophisticated balance system.
The conical counterweight is not just an aesthetic element but a functional solution: it balances the glass diffuser, allowing the lamp to remain horizontal or tilted. This system enables precise control of the light emission.
The glass diffuser interacts with the aluminum heat sink and metal counterweight, creating a harmonious composition. Available finishes—white-bronze, gray-bronze, bronze-bronze, white-nickel, gray-nickel, red-nickel, and brushed black—offer great customization possibilities.
Thanks to its adjustable structure, Bascula allows you to modulate the illumination as needed: direct and functional or soft and diffused. A versatile solution, perfect for both residential and professional spaces.
Designed by Shigeaki Asahara, 1985.
