Product Description
Designed by industrial designer and sculptor Bernard Scotlander in 1951 and now available through French manufacturer DCW éditions, the Mantis lights are a tribute to the American modern sculptor and pioneer of kinetic art, Alexander Calder. DCW realizes the re-edition of the Mantis lights true to the original and pays attention to a high processing quality during manufacturing.
A characteristic feature of all lights from the Mantis collection is the asymmetrical, gently curved lampshade made of black painted steel with a white painted inside. The shade sits on a delicate lamp arm, whose end is subtly bent. The design principle of the DCW Mantis is based on mobility and on the eponymous mantis.
The Mantis BS1 floor lamp is the original design. It sits on a delicate tripod and can be rotated by 360 degrees. By adjusting the counterweight, a total of four arm tilt positions can be set in 20 degree steps. As a result, the rotating and swiveling reflector shade leans forward and backward weightlessly like the head of the "Mantis religiosa" insect . Due to the special asymmetrical shape of the shade, the light is emitted to the front, which further reinforces the sweeping radius of the arm. The base of the lamp is a simple tripod. The shade can also be rotated and swiveled, which means that Mantis BS1 enables maximum flexibility. The lamp is available in black colour (arm & base) the diffuser is always black.
