Spring Balanced Table Lamp
Curt Fischer conceived the Spring Balanced lamp in the 1920s as a direct response to the demands of industrial labor, designing a lamp that could follow the worker rather than require the worker to adjust to it. The steel spring mechanism at its core allows the arm and head to move with effortless counterbalance, holding position without ratchets or friction locks.
Midgard has produced this lamp continuously for nearly a century, and the form has remained essentially unchanged. That fidelity is not nostalgia. It reflects a design so resolved in its proportions and mechanics that revision would be reduction. The cast and pressed steel construction gives the lamp a weight and authority that modern reproductions rarely match.
- Fully articulating arm with steel spring counterbalance
- Adjustable lampshade for directional task lighting
- Continuous production since original 1920s design
- Pressed and cast steel construction
