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.

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

W690-1080 x D740 x H1550-1700 mm

Delumina Pendant is made up of two glass discs which, through a playful and surprising process, let soft light shine through. Using a dial, it is possible to vary the shade of the upper disc, it going from transparency to total opacity, allowing more or less light to pass through as desired.

Amazzonio is a floor lamp with solid ash legs and lampshade in plastified paper. It is a pendant lamp with the desire to make people dream, to play with the imaginary, an object born with a function that is found to have another.

Thierry Dreyfus has created a lamp designed to provide light, of course, but even more, to light up the intimate, and even better, to light up the night, softly. A white object, soothing by day, calming at night, La lampe B is a sincere gesture.

But what if the planets were nothing more than soap bubbles that have remained intact as they travel through time? Armed with his astronomer?s telescope that let him observe their every movement, Yuji has transformed them into objects floating in a weightless world.
