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

W1530 x D470 x H500-1400 mm

Aesthetically, it resembles nothing on earth. It?s not inspired by any existing lamp, nor is it a reproduction of some obscure design from a bygone era. It is a resolutely contemporary object. A jewel of a lamp that illuminates a mysterious universe. At the same time it is a mechanical jewel, one that is encased […]

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.
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.
