The DCW Editions Mantis BS3 Table Lamp, designed by Bernard Schottlander in 1951, is a striking blend of functional design and art. Inspired by Alexander Calder’s mobiles, the lamp uses a clever counterweight system combined with strong, flexible metal bars to create a sense of weightlessness. Its shade, made from aluminum using spinning and chasing techniques, adds a dynamic sculptural element to the design. The helical movement of the shade reflects Schottlander's sculptural expertise, making the Mantis BS3 Table Lamp more than just a light source – it’s a true piece of art. The DCW Editions Mantis BS3 Table Lamp offers the perfect balance between form and function. The counterbalanced arms and adjustable shade provide precise light direction, while the lamp’s curved design gives it a graceful sense of movement. Schottlander’s masterful use of metalworking techniques ensures its timeless elegance, making it a standout piece in any setting. The Mantis BS3 Table Lamp brings sophistication and industrial lighting together, creating a practical yet stylish addition to modern homes or offices that demand both beauty and functionality.
