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

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 […]

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.

Onfale, designed by Luciano Vistosi in 1978, is a masterpiece of design that catches the attention of anyone who sees it. Its sinuous, rounded shape recalls the perfect shape of a mushroom. It comes with a blown glass frame and an opal glass diffuser, providing a uniform and lovely illumination. The transparent hot-rolled glass edge […]
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.
