Artemide Equilibrist Table Lamp
Resembling a high-tech traffic light, Equilibrist balances 2 different LED light sources like the weights of a scale. The diffuser heads rotate around a vertical axis, emitting non-symmetrical light and operate separately with dimmer switches. Made of black metal, the Equilibrist table lamp was awarded a Wallpaper Design Award in 2015.

Jean Nouvel
France, 1945
“I’m not a designer, I’m an architect who makes design.” - Jean Nouvel
Jean Nouvel Design is a multidisciplinary team working in the fields of furniture design, interior design, scenograpgy, and visual communications.
The designer creations of Jean Nouvel can be viewed (by appointment) in the Cité Angoulême showroom in Paris, in the heart of a small island where the offices of Ateliers Jean Nouvel and Jean Nouvel Design come together. The Jean Nouvel Design showroom is open to the public annually during Designer’s Days and Design Week events.
Jean Nouvel’s œuvre follows the tradition of philosopher architects who design whole worlds of all dimensions. An urbanist and an architect, Jean Nouvel is also a designer because he rejects labels: “I see no difference between when I design a chair and when I imagine a building. I see every project as a complete design program in itself. For every challenge posed, I seek the ‘elementary’ object whose finished form corresponds to an idea. It’s always a fitting and unique answer that bears witness, culturally and technically, to our times and to our civilization.”
Jean Nouvel created JND (Jean Nouvel Design) in 1995 to complement the architecture firm, AJN (Ateliers Jean Nouvel), through its specific design work. Since its inception, Jean Nouvel Design has developed and edited over a hundred objects and pieces of furniture.
Upholding Italy's reputation for excellence and innovation in design, Artemide is a world leader in contemporary lighting. Offering both residential and commercial lighting solutions, Artemide has made forward thinking a company policy. Instantly recognizable designs originating from the 1960's, when Artemide was founded by Ernesto Gismondi, are still in production today along side contemporary lighting creations by current acclaimed designers. Artemide's expansive catologue ranges from the organic and elegant Logico collection to the clean and simple spheres of the Castore family.

The Artemide Group is much more than lighting. A core element of the manufacturer is their commitment to ethical conduct and social responsibility. A progressive environmental policy is also a major element in both production methods and technology research. What Artemide is most widely known for however, is a coined design philosophy that defines the company's approach: the Human Light Philosophy. Thoughtfully considering the user's lifestyle, daily activities and investment in home, Human Light sets out to provide an illuminated companion, rather than just simply illumination. Lights that are adaptable, flexible and allow for optimum visual precision while conserving environmental resources are Human Lights. A light that accompanies us during our daily activities and has a tangible effect on our well being, emotional health and ultimately our quality of life is Artemide.
