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.

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.

Plaster lamp intended as wall lamps and designed to be scrutinised as if entering a dark alley at dusk and suddenly being pierced with a surreal ray of light. A self-confessed biographical exercise, Soul invites contemplation of each model through the gaze of a small metal character, either seated or standing, that DCW Editions invites […]

The sculptural shape is the result of a simple geometric configuration that combines productive and functional intelligence, perfectly capturing the characteristic traits of the design by Vico Magistretti.
