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
Dimensions:
W520-820 x D220 x H650-830 mm

This stunning and massive crystal cloud floats in space with the lightness of a zeppelin. Blimp is the largest lighting piece Bomma’s master glassmakers are capable of creating by hand. Blowing into a metal form produces a graceful giant that is a testimony to human ingenuity and top-level craftsmanship. Although this creation is a dominant […]

Delumina Wall is a wall lamp made up of two glass discs which, through a playful and surprising process, let soft light shine through. Using a dial, it is possible to vary the shade of the upper disc, it going from transparency to total opacity, allowing more or less light to pass through as desired.

The first wall lamp designed by Le Corbusier in 1925, originally thought to enlighten the large windows of Villa La Roche, a manifesto of purist architecture. Nemo edits La Roche enhancing its lightness and functionality: a matte metal frame and an opal glass diffuser for soft lighting.
