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.

In August 1970, Bertrand Balas designed the lamp Here Comes the Sun. At first glance, this original design is like all the other lamps that get called an ?Original?. But once lit, the Here Comes the Sun hanging lamp takes on a magical quality. Darkness looses its rawness and metamorphoses into something reassuring.

The lantern wall lamp features a simple black steel support and fixing that allows the soft illumination of the rippled glass globe to shine brightest. Inspired by traditional Japanese rice paper lanterns, these additions allow you to take the series into all corners of the home ? from bedside to the entry, kitchen to the […]

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