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.

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 […]
The Bloom Floor Lamp’s superelliptical shade form is inspired by the gentle dynamic flow of paper lanterns. Its glorious lit effect is the result of transparency and light. Two contrasting materials ??? a finely perforated mesh core and frosted blown glass, combine to project a soft focus texture onto the inside of the shade. Combined […]

The Yasuke lamp brings you on a voyage from soft, warm tones to the bright light of the southern sun. Somewhere between a piece of futurist architecture, a form of 21st century crinoline and a spaceship? Everyone can make its own lighting environment using two dimmers : one to control the bulb?s colour temperature, the […]

How can one design a pendant light, wall sconce, or ceiling fixture that is both discreet and refined? A luminaire that seamlessly blends into a space without overpowering it, while evoking the timeless elegance of Art Deco, reinterpreted with a modern touch. Frank Lloyd Wright had already explored this idea with the fa?ade of the […]

In 1946, Vico Magistretti conceived Claritas, his first lighting design, which conceptually aimed for clarity and brightness. In a context of reconstruction and reconversion of the war industry, for the first time Magistretti used bent metal tubes and a curved aluminium sheet as a reflector, which could be oriented and regulated, ensuring the desired lighting […]
