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.

An avant-garde icon of the 1950s, Pivotante ? Poser was conceived by Charlotte Perriand as an architectural element.

Cobra, designed by Elio Martinelli in 1968 is over 50 years old, but doesn’t look it. A lamp still in the catalogue today for the fascination it continues to exert for the public. A lamp that is still timely, even if it took several years for its innovative design to be appreciated despite its simple […]
