Supersymmetry

Supersymmetry is a transformable lamp designed for homes that are also used as work spaces. The fixture changes from a vertical source of soft diffused light into a horizontal source of concentrated light for work, creation and close conversation. The change is made by splitting or joining the symmetrical parts of the lamp, which are held by magnetic retainers. A bottom-centered wire bracing system keeps the height stable in both positions, so the light level on the table stays even. Metal, acrylic and LED sources are used. The total height ranges from 550 to 1500 mm.
