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.

The Floor Light is a minimal floor lamp made from two pure borosilicate glass tubes. In a collision of technology and materiality, a warm LED light source projects invisibly through the glass, to spectacularly illuminate the top edges. The result is a delicate visual presence, with a strong source of light for the space above.

A rigorous elegance. A dimmer and two gelatins, to regulate the intensity and warmth of the light; adjustable feet, to adapt to the floors.
