Inspiration behind the design: Poise is powerful. From the skillful balance of the sphere and baton that invokes thoughts of a dexterous juggle act.

The Coterie series, by renowned designer Michael Anastassiades, consists of a thin steel base that twists and bends at an angle. From there, a blown-glass opaline orb delicately balances. The table lamp, which casts diffused light, can be adjusted by a dimmer on the power chord. Now available in a brand-new black finish that adds dimension to the stunning collection of deceptively simple designs.
