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.

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.
