Free UK delivery until Christmas.

Sculptural desk lamps that play with gravity. Handmade in Yorkshire and delivered to you in 3-5 days.

This family of desk lamps can be extended or retracted by gently rolling them forward or backward. Repositioning the big brass weight on the rocker re-balances the lamp to a new equilibrium. Angle adjustments are made by sliding the upper brass counterweight along the horizontal bar.

Lamp adjustment can now be a satisfying and playful experience.

In the words of a happy customer - “He’s loving it! I don’t think an evening goes by without a discreet tweaking of the balance!” - GILL, LANCASHIRE

This C-Type Balance lamp has an anthropomorphic design that gives off an air of relaxed enjoyment whilst still taking its work responsibilities very seriously.

Balance lamps are hand-engineered in the North of England out of anodised aluminium, brass, stainless steel, cast iron and hardwoods. They are approximately 46 cm tall and come supplied with a standard GU4 12V DC LED bulb, giving a strong working light of 230 lumens, and plug-style power supply. Available for UK and international power sources. Each lamp is individually numbered.

Balance lamps have been designed to last for generations and are delivered in environmentally friendly packaging. They have a five year guarantee for all parts and workmanship.

They are available to order now and can be delivered to you in 3 to 5 days. Free UK delivery. International charges may vary. We will email you before posting. Note: Walnut lamps may have longer lead times.

Also available with coloured leather shades - contact us for details.

If for any reason you are not happy with your Balance lamp we will refund all your money and arrange for the item to be collected from you.

BLOTT WORKS is a small workshop based in the Pennines, founded by artist/engineer Dan Morrison in 2014, hand-making​ sculptural lamps and clocks with a mechanical aesthetic and a playful character.

Sculptural. Functional. Playful.


Design Guild Mark Finalist 2023. We were thrilled to present our Balance lamp designs to the judges in the final round of this prestigious British design award.

I am absolutely thrilled with my lamp. It is elegant yet playful, beautifully designed and created. It is really evident how much love you have for your creation from the way you care about making sure it is delivered safely. It was really good to see the packaging was environmentally-friendly too. Thank you for such friendly service and I hope your business continues to thrive - it really deserves to!

Working with Dan has been a pleasure over the past year. We are thrilled with our Jodrell Nixie clock, Beacon Lamp and newly arrived Balance Lamp.
Each is a beautiful but functional object which we are thrilled and proud to have in our home. Many thanks for all your hard work and willingness to adjust details to suit our needs.
