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.

This stunning and massive crystal cloud floats in space with the lightness of a zeppelin. Blimp is the largest lighting piece Bomma’s master glassmakers are capable of creating by hand.

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 […]
