Description

Mantis BS1-B floor lamp is a member of the Mantis collection, designed by Bernard Schottlander in England in 1951 and relaunched by the French brand DCWéditions. The Mantis lamp is a combination of flexibility and balance – it captures the feeling of movement. Mantis BS1-B floor lamp comprises a thin, counterweighted metal leg that rotates 360 degrees and can be tilted and locked into four different angles. The lamp has a round base plate and an elegant metal shade that gives it a unique, soft expression.

Besides being a designer, Schottlander was also a sculptor and engineer. Influences from his versatile background can be found in the counterbalanced structure, precisely bend thin metal bars and sculptural lampshades of the Mantis collection.
