Designed by Bernard Schottlander
As admirer of Alexander Calder, in 1951 Schottlander created the Mantis series of lamps. Movement is intrinsic to all of Schottlander’s work: an artist, an engineer and in no small measure a handyman, he devised a clever system of counterweights combined with a series of strong, and flexible metal bars. The shade also is unique of its kind. Like an acrobat suspended in mid-air, it is made from aluminium using spinning and chasing techniques that are a part of the metalworker???Ǩ?Ѣs inventory of skills, but to which he has brought his sculptor???Ǩ?Ѣs eye to create a helical movement in which the symmetrical and the asymmetrical are in opposition.

Adjustable shade and stem, structure in steel and shade in aluminium in black

W690-1080 x D740 x H1550-1700 mm

In 1952, on the shores of the French Riviera, Le Corbusier built ‘Cabanon’: the absolute archetype of essential living. The project, executed according to the rules of the Modulor, is found just a stone?s throw away from the sea and served as a refuge for the architect in his final years. Lampe Cabanon, named after […]

Intended as a work of art, the Tabata lamp unites an industrial aesthetic with a warm light. Tabata was born after designer Luca Nichetto became intrigued by the idea of creating a lamp that appeared to float. Comprised of three interconnected metal modules, Tabata can be oriented by the owner to direct the diffused light […]

A rigorous elegance. A dimmer and two gelatins, to regulate the intensity and warmth of the light; adjustable feet, to adapt to the floors.

Applique de Marseille, designed by Le Corbusier in 1938/1939 for his Parisian flat in Rue Nungesser et Coli, provides direct and diffused light: two cone-shaped lampshades orient the light upwards and downwards, providing uniform and sharp light beams.
