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

The adjustable diffuser consists of two open symmetrical cones for direct and indirect lighting. The finishes reflect the ?claviers de couleurs? colour system developed by the Swiss-French […]
If Pipistrello has succeeded up until now in remaining always current and fascinating, it is not just thanks to its style and the design ingenuity of Gae Aulenti. Merit also goes to the company?s desire to dare and to re-propose it in different colors, dimensions and uses to better answer a continuously evolving market.
