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

W520-820 x D220 x H650-830 mm

Still composed of a long steel rod topped by a black shade pivoting on a ball joint, resting on its round base, the BS8 L floor […]

Foundry is an elegant and graphic Floor lamp, standing 1.9 meters high and tracing a rectangular volume in space. At the base, precious hand-cast bronze provides a solid counterweight to the cantilevered height of the lamp.

Essential aesthetics and pure functionality. The swivelling arc in matte black painted steel allows wide movement, and gives the opportunity to both interact and decorate the space. The cylindrical spot, with optional anti-glare filter, allows the light to be directed as required. The light beam is warm and diffuse.

An avant-garde icon of the 1950s, Pivotante ? Poser was conceived by Charlotte Perriand as an architectural element. The light emission interacts with the material texture, volumes, dimensions and graphic signs created by the two rotating diffusers, which allow both closing and opening of the light beam for direct or indirect light.

Between eloquent laconism and sophisticated brutalism, illuminated like an electro-constructivist Kraftwerk clip, the collaboration between DCW ?ditions and Sebastian Summa has been expanded with a new ceiling benchmark : the magnificent NL12 suspension. Designed to illuminate a large dining room table, this light cleverly fitted with an eye-deceiving device, is composed of twelve borosilicate glass […]
