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
Dimensions:
W1530 x D470 x H500-1400 mm

The new series of light sculptures named Ambra combines volumes of ancient stones and aluminium. Centerpiece is the Mexican ‘Toba volcanica’ stone that consists of minerals, glass and volcanic debris ejected one million years ago during severe eruptions. Fragments in the geometrical surfaces are testament to these explosions and movement. The contrast between porous textures […]

With direct reference to the anecdote of the apple falling on Isaac Newton?s head, suggesting the existence of gravity, Newton?s metal diffuser rotates and enlightens the natural element in a mix of direct and diffused light.
