Price History
Description
Bernard Schottlander, a British designer and sculptor, and a big fan of Alexander Calder, has created a range of lamps called Mantis in 1951. Movement is the source of inspiration for all of the Schotlander’s works. His lamps play with the tension between balance and imbalance. These poetic objects invite you to dream. Extremely stable but offering a mobile and performing light, Mantis lamps are highly precise mechanisms. Bernard Schottlander, artist and engineer at the same time, has invented a smart pivoting counterweight system by using thin, supple, resistant metal connectors. This floor lamp has a 360° rotating stem that can be tilted in 5 positions and a lampshade allowing you to adjust the light in any direction. Mantis lights, originally hand-crafted products in limited editions, are from now on being reproduced to please all collectors and lovers of industrial design.
Our Stylist Says
I love this Mantis floor lamp for its sleek, contemporary silhouette that adds a sculptural element to any room. Its black finish makes it versatile, working particularly well in minimalist or industrial interiors, but it can also add an edge to a modern living space. Given its open, airy design, it’s ideal for corners or next to seating areas where you want focused, adjustable light without visual clutter. For styling tips, try pairing it with a low-profile sofa or a cosy reading nook - the lamp’s adjustable head makes it perfect for task lighting. It also works beautifully as an accent piece in a monochrome or muted palette, providing both function and a striking visual statement.
