Designed by Bernard Schottlander
A silhouette that naturally evokes a praying mantis in weightlessness, the Mantis floor lamp has now been structurally tweaked and improved just as designer Schottlander envisioned in his time. Still composed of a long steel rod topped by a black shade pivoting on a ball joint, resting on its round base, the BS8 L floor lamp has a new base and arm, swapping its original system of rack and counterweight for an ingenious “squaring of the circle” with suggestive graphics and voids. A true sculpture now adjustable by a dial, gaining a wide versatility of use.

Adjustable shade and stem, structure in steel and shade in aluminium in black

The shade also is unique […]

Falkland suspension lamp is a truly timeless classic designed by Bruno Munari. With a spontaneous shape that is achieved by the contrasting forces of its components: the tension of a stretched tube of finely woven fabric and the weight of seven different sized metal rings. A single light bulb and aluminium reflector illuminate the curves […]
