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.

W690-1080 x D290 x H1550-1700 mm

Applique de Marseille, designed by Le Corbusier in 1938/1939 for his Parisian flat in Rue Nungesser et Coli, provides direct and diffused light: two cone-shaped lampshades orient the light upwards and downwards, providing uniform and sharp light beams.

Ikebana floor lamp that combines light and support places in an elegant and contemporary way. Objects or plants can become the protagonists of this element with a clean and linear design where, together with its illuminating function, is always renewed, becoming a unique piece in the space.
An avant-garde icon of the 1950s, Pivotante ? Poser was conceived by Charlotte Perriand as an architectural element. The light emission interacts with the material texture, volumes, dimensions and graphic signs created by the two rotating diffusers, which allow both closing and opening of the light beam for direct or indirect light.
