This project begins with curiosity about essential characteristic of material. Our design direction is to ultimately reveal the essence of material: the gravity, mass and balance. When these elements harmonized in balance, familiar and ordinary things could inspire us in a new way. B (Balance) lamp series suggests various positions of light to users depending on a space and use. The bottoms of polygon shaped bases are made of concrete and wood have certain angles (30° / 35°) to create right balance in different positions of the lamp. The angles were adjusted in balance on the basis of the weight of material, so that create the stable form and proportion. Additionally, B35° Lamp can be displayed for various moods in a space, with modular arrangements such as circular or bridge layout
