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.

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.
Filling spaces with ambient light, the Hashira High Floor Lamp by Norm Architects is characterised by its tall and tactile shade and slender, graphic frame.
