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

These sculptural lights, characterised by their fluidity, their ethereality, their form and their transparency, are all about the subtle interplay of light and shadow. The reflections, shimmers, patterns and vibrations they create dance off the walls. ?ric de Dorma?l?s creations bring forth images, they leave impressions and they provoke sensations.
With direct reference to the anecdote of the apple falling on Isaac Newton?s head, suggesting the existence of gravity, Newton?s metal diffuser rotates and enlightens the natural element in a mix of direct and diffused light.

Pi is on the border between a sculpture and an architectural building, it is functional through its light. The light source shines backwards, when placed next to a wall, illuminates to give a pleasant light.

Hard on the outside, and soft on the inside. Designed to work on the bathroom space, specific to the time of morning or evening. An elegant light for an object that plays with intimacy. Inspired by the shades of dawn or dusk, to be tender is to be enlightened like a single cloud standing out […]
