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

W1530 x D470 x H500-1400 mm

A self-confessed biographical exercise, Soul invites contemplation of each model through the gaze of a small metal character, either seated or standing, that DCW Editions invites […]

Inspired by the Japanese pine tree in the ground, the BrichetZiegler studio carved this lighting object with mastery and precision. Niwaki is an artificial plant. Carved for the wind, it seems to float and glide through the air. Its finish reflects a balance between work and humility, this lamp is orga(mecha)nic.

After the success of its floor lamp, &Tradition has expanded the Tripod series to include a table lamp with the same timeless design. Tripod, a table lamp built from powder-coated steel with brass details, reflects the clean minimalism of historic Copenhagen-based duo Hvidt & M?lgaard. Considered Old Masters of mid-century Danish design, their pieces often […]
