Northern's Balancer mini lamp is a charming little light source for homes and public spaces. Designed by Berlin-based design studio YUUE, the multifunctional luminaire fits on the wall as well as on the table – the Balancer mini transforms easily from a table lamp to a wall lamp with a handy magnetic plate. The geometric luminaire consists of a rotating, mouth-blown opal glass shade and a narrow, rectangular base that hides the electrical components out of sight. A three-step touch dimmer ensures that the light level is always the way you want it, whether you place the Balancer mini on a desk in your home office or mount it next to your bed as a reading lamp.
