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.

Tizio features articulated design that is always perfectly balanced thanks to the counterweights formed by a revolutionary structure that supports the head and at the same time powers the light source, originally a low-voltage halogen bulb, today also a LED. Thanks to the intelligence and elegance with which Tizio combines these two elements, the lamp […]
