The Mantis BS5 Mini is a compact interpretation of Bernard Schottlander’s iconic BS5 wall lamp, designed to bring timeless elegance and modern efficiency to a wide range of interiors. While smaller in scale than the original, it preserves the sculptural qualities that have made the Mantis collection an enduring design classic. Its clean lines, balanced form, and asymmetrical shade reflect Schottlander’s fascination with the dialogue between movement and stillness, balance and poise.

Equipped with an integrated LED source, the BS5 Mini offers energy-efficient, long-lasting illumination that enhances both functionality and atmosphere. Its light is warm and focused, ideal for creating intimate reading corners, accentuating architectural details, or providing discreet task lighting. This makes it a versatile fixture that adapts seamlessly to bedrooms, hallways, and compact living spaces where thoughtful lighting is essential.

The reduced scale of the BS5 Mini does not diminish its presence. Instead, its proportion makes it particularly suited to modern interiors where space is at a premium but design integrity remains a priority. Its wall-mounted structure allows it to deliver targeted light without clutter, blending practical performance with artistic elegance.

By reinterpreting the BS5 with integrated LED technology, DCW Editions has ensured that Schottlander’s design remains as relevant today as it was at its inception. The BS5 Mini is more than a smaller version—it is a refined evolution that carries forward the Mantis philosophy of uniting sculptural form with purposeful function. Compact, efficient, and visually striking, it demonstrates how great design can adapt to contemporary needs while staying true to its timeless origins.
