Ascent by Daniel Rybakken
Table light designed for Luceplan, presented at
Euroluce, Milan 2013.

Ascent uses the same archetypical head found on
Counterbalance (Luceplan 2012), mounted on a slender
vertical stem. By moving the head along the stem, the
light intensity goes from being turned off at the
bottom position, to gradually ascending to the full
light output at the top.

Head in aluminium, stem in technopolymer,
10W LED – 2700K light source.

Ascent will be presented during Salone del Mobile at:
Fiera Milano, Rho
Hall 13, Stand B19 C18.

Luceplan showroom
Corso Monforte 7, Milano.

Counterbalance wins the Elle Decor International

The award ceremony will be held in Milan on the 11th of

Red Dot Design Award in the Product Design category.
