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

Like a powder case or a precious box, the mechanical action of opening or closing makes the object reassuring and immediately understandable. The light is diffused by a thick glass pane, throughout its depththickness. Inside, the polished brass flap acts as a pivoting mirror thanks to a visible hinge.

The inspiration for this unique collection was a collaboration with the world-renowned director Tim Burton, during one of his exhibitions. The Tim Collection was among our earliest efforts, based on the shapes of the glass cloches covering Burton?s artworks. These monumental pieces marked Bomma?s entry to the world of top-level lighting design and set us […]
