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.

We use 100% recycled glass and because of that it has an irregular surface with surprisingly tiny air bubbles enclosed inside the material. […]

J¿rgen Kastholm (1931-2007) and Preben Juhl Fabricius (1931-1984) were driven by a mutual mission to make form a pure derivative of function. Both were architects, graduating from the Danish School of Interior Design where they studied under Finn Juhl and subsequently with Arne Jacobsen. The P376 pendant lamp is a perfect example of Kastholm & […]
