The art of magnetic balance
The SUSPENDU Balance lamp is inspired by an
iconic object of contemporary Dutch design. Its originality lies in a revolutionary detail: two small
magnetic spheres connected by a taut vertical wire in the center of the oval frame. To turn on the lamp, you bring these two spheres together: their magnetic attraction makes them meet in perfect balance, simultaneously closing the electrical circuit. The simple act of turning on becomes a
gesture of meditative precision, almost a daily choreography. Once in contact, the spheres remain in magnetic levitation, suspended one to the other in perfect balance — hence the name Balance. It is an object that transforms an automatic action into conscious pleasure.
What you receive
1 SUSPENDU Balance lamp
Chosen finish (natural wood, white, black or red), 48 LEDs integrated into the frame
USB cable
USB power cable included — USB wall adapter not included, to be supplied separately
Connection tip. The SUSPENDU Balance lamp is powered via a USB cable (included). You can connect it to a standard USB wall adapter (e.g., smartphone charger), to a USB socket integrated into your furniture, or even to a portable power bank for mobile use. The USB wall adapter is not included — most households already have one or can add a universal one for a few euros. Ideally choose a 5V/2A adapter to optimize the power supply for the 48 LEDs.
SUSPENDU Balance, Bedside lamp or ambient lighting? The SUSPENDU Balance is the only table lamp in our lighting range — all our other products are pendant or ceiling lights. It is ideally positioned on a desk, console, bedside table or shelf. Compact size (40 cm high), it does not overwhelm the space while providing sufficient lighting for reading (3,500 lumens) and a striking decorative object thanks to its signature magnetic lighting system.

Important: wall adapter not included. The SUSPENDU Balance lamp comes with its USB power cable, but without a wall adapter. You must use a USB adapter you already own (smartphone charger, wall USB socket, portable battery) or purchase one separately (5V/2A recommended). The magnetic spheres are robust but avoid strong impacts that could misalign the contact mechanism. Occasional cleaning of the spheres with a soft cloth preserves the quality of the electrical contact.
Guaranteed favorite design gift. The SUSPENDU Balance lamp is one of the most appreciated design gifts on the market. Its magnetic switching system instantly fascinates, its compact size suits all desks and bedrooms, and its 4 finishes allow it to match any interior. Ideal for a housewarming, a birthday, a design Christmas, a corporate gift or even a back-to-school (student, young adult, first apartment). The wood model appeals to lovers of natural and Japandi interiors; the white or black models suit minimalist decors; the red adds an offbeat pop signature.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the magnetic switching system work?
In the center of the oval frame are two small magnetic spheres connected by a taut vertical wire. When off, these spheres are separated (one at the top, the other at the bottom of the wire). To turn on the lamp, you manually bring them together: their magnetic attraction makes them meet in perfect balance, simultaneously closing the electrical circuit of the 48 LEDs. To turn it off, separate the spheres again. It is both a functional switch and a contemplative design object.
Which finish should I choose for my interior?
Natural wood brings warmth and authenticity — ideal for Scandinavian, Japandi, natural or chic rustic decor. White is versatile and minimalist — suitable for all clean and bright styles. Black brings a strong graphic presence — perfect for contemporary, masculine, industrial decor. Red is a vibrant accent that becomes the focal point of a room — a bold choice for colorful or minimalist interiors seeking a decorative pop.
Can the LEDs be changed?
No, the 48 LEDs are integrated into the curved frame and are not designed to be replaced individually. This technical choice optimizes aesthetic integration (the frame is illuminated along its entire length without visible breaks) and guarantees an exceptional lifespan of 50,000 hours — approximately 17 years of use at 8 hours per day. This is far superior to any classic replaceable LED bulb.
Is the wall adapter included?
No, the USB wall adapter is not included. Only the USB power cable is provided with the lamp. You can use any USB adapter you have at home (smartphone charger for example), an integrated wall USB socket, or even a portable power bank for mobile use. For optimal performance, we recommend a standard 5V / 2A USB adapter, available everywhere for a few euros.
Is the lamp powerful enough for reading?
Yes, perfectly. With its 3,500 lumens of warm light, the SUSPENDU Balance provides ample illumination for reading, writing, studying, or any task requiring good visual acuity without eye strain. The distribution of the 48 LEDs along the curved frame creates homogeneous and non-glare lighting, unlike a point light bulb. Ideal as a desk lamp, bedside lamp, or reading console lamp.
Can it be used as a portable lamp?
Yes, USB power allows for interesting portable uses: connect it to a sufficiently powerful portable power bank, and the lamp works without a mains socket. Ideal for terraces, gardens (sheltered from bad weather), shared offices, or temporary use. Consumption remains moderate thanks to energy-efficient LEDs. For prolonged use, choose a power bank of 20,000 mAh or more.
What is the difference between the wood and ABS models?
The natural wood model is made of real varnished wood, with visible grain and a warm, tactile feel — it is the premium and most natural version in the range. The white, black, and red models are made of quality ABS (high-resistance technical plastic), with a uniform matte finish. ABS allows for bright or very pure colors impossible with wood, and remains extremely resistant to shocks and wear. The magnetic switching system and LED lighting quality are strictly identical across all models.
