Designer Robert Dabi has created Poise, a flexible ring-shaped lamp that has three joints to allow it to swivel and tilt while remaining perfectly balanced.
The minimal design features a heavy, T-shaped base with a slim, circular lighting element balanced on the end. Poise is shortlisted for Dezeen Awards 2020 in the lighting design category.
Poise can be adjusted by hand
This ring can rotate 320 degrees around the arm, which can also tilt right and left and turn on its axis 320 degrees. Users can easily adjust Poise using their hands.
"It's a glowing circle that freely levitates around a line," said Dabi. "The heavy T-base serves as a counterweight to the very slim and light arm and ring, allowing the lamp to always remain balanced in poise."

Dubi made Poise as an interactive lighting experience for the user. Its shape is created by gentle tactile adjustments.
"My lamp concepts involve a certain amount of interaction in order to modify the way light is perceived," explained Dabi.
"This should encourage curiosity and human interaction with the light source, instead of just putting it somewhere to rest."
