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.

Paring a volcanic rock sphere together with an opal glass diffuser, the contrast and tension between the materials become evident. An interaction of two different materials, a highlight of texture and shine. The handmade recinto volcanic stone is illuminated […]

Tau, borrows its name and shape from the Greek alphabet. A return to the essentials of language, a timeless dialogue. The object is on the border between a sculpture and an architectural building, it is functional through its light.

Lesbo designed in 1967 represents one of the symbols of the made in Italy design of the 7s, characterized by its particular mushroom shape. The hand-blown diffuser creates fascinating interactions with light. The frosted white colour conceals the light source and guides the light beam upwards, creating a soft and atmospheric light that highlights the […]
