Ascent by Daniel Rybakken
Table light designed for Luceplan, presented at
Euroluce, Milan 2013.
Ascent uses the same archetypical head found on
Counterbalance (Luceplan 2012), mounted on a slender
vertical stem. By moving the head along the stem, the
light intensity goes from being turned off at the
bottom position, to gradually ascending to the full
light output at the top.
Head in aluminium, stem in technopolymer,
10W LED – 2700K light source.
Ascent will be presented during Salone del Mobile at:
Fiera Milano, Rho
Hall 13, Stand B19 C18.
Luceplan showroom
Corso Monforte 7, Milano.
Counterbalance wins the Elle Decor International
Design Award.
The 25 editions of the Elle Decoration international network
have selected Counterbalance (Luceplan 2012) as the winner
of the prestigious prize EDIDA in the Lighting category.
The award ceremony will be held in Milan on the 11th of
April during Salone del Mobile 2013.
In July 2013 Counterbalance will also be awarded the
Red Dot Design Award in the Product Design category.
