The DCW Editions Mantis Floor Lamp with Tripod Base BS1BL is a masterful expression of movement, balance, and functional artistry. Originally designed by Bernard Schottlander, the lamp reflects his unique background as both an artist and engineer, blending technical precision with sculptural elegance. Its distinctive silhouette is instantly recognizable, combining slender metal lines, a delicately shaped shade, and a dynamic counterweight system that appears to suspend the lamp effortlessly in space.

Crafted from steel and aluminium, the lamp delivers a refined balance between strength and lightness. The tripod base introduces architectural stability while reinforcing the design’s graceful, minimalist aesthetic. Inspired by the mobile sculptures of Alexandre Calder, the Mantis Floor Lamp captures a sense of motion and tension, creating the illusion that it is constantly poised in delicate equilibrium. This artistic influence gives the lamp a striking visual presence that feels both airy and dramatic without overwhelming a room.

Functionality is equally central to the design. The adjustable arm and pivoting shade allow light to be directed precisely where needed, making the lamp ideal for reading areas, lounges, or sophisticated workspaces. Its thoughtful engineering enables smooth movement while maintaining the elegant balance that defines the Mantis collection.

Finished in black, the lamp’s graphic appearance complements a wide range of interiors, from contemporary and industrial spaces to eclectic and design-focused homes. More than simply a source of illumination, the Mantis Floor Lamp acts as a sculptural centrepiece, bringing atmosphere, character, and timeless modern design into the living environment.
