Lampe Mantis BS5 Wall Lamp

The Lampe Mantis series of lamps uses a smart pivoting counterweight system by using thin, supple, resistant metal connectors. Schottlander’s work demonstrates his skills as an artist, an engineer and in no small measure a handyman. The lamp shade is made using traditional metal working techniques to create a turned and chased aluminium hood. Available with a Chrome or Black Satin body, it has a timeless appeal. The BS5 Wall Lamp is available in a hard wired version or with a cable and switch on the base.

In 1951 British designer Bernard Schottlander created the Lampe Mantis series of lamps. Playfully tensioned between balance and imbalance, his lamps defy the law of gravity to provide a precise and manoeuvrable illumination.
