Equilibrium Enlightenment is a lamp that revolves around the theme of balance—a fundamental aspect of both sustainable practices and human existence. To turn on the lamp, the user must stack objects on top of each other until they reach a certain height, triggering a mechanical pressure switch at the lamp's apex. This simple exercise in balance directs attention to the task at hand, offering a moment of focus and an opportunity to take a break from work without distractions. By transforming a routine interaction into a meditative act, the lamp encourages mindfulness and a deeper awareness of equilibrium in both the physical and mental sense. Built with sustainability in mind, it is constructed from repurposed materials and designed for full repairability, aligning with principles of conscious and long-lasting design.

To complement the project, a concept film explores the contrast between balance and overstimulation. The narrative presents two visual worlds—one out of the first person perspective, entirely digital, reflecting the hyper-stimulated nature of modern life, and the other filmed on cassette tape, evoking a sense of analog simplicity and grounding. The soundtrack, composed on an electronic keyboard, mirrors this theme through a shifting synthesizer melody, creating a delicate interplay of stability and movement.

By merging interaction, design, and storytelling, Equilibrium Enlightenment serves as both a functional object and an artistic statement—encouraging users to slow down, engage with their environment, and rediscover balance in an overstimulated world.
