Crafted from steel and aluminium, the lamp showcases the signature slender framework and distinctive shade that have made the Mantis series an enduring icon of modern lighting design. Inspired by the mobile sculptures of Alexandre Calder, the design explores the tension between balance and imbalance, creating a visual impression of lightness and effortless motion. Its graceful form appears almost suspended in space, delivering both illumination and sculptural impact.
The adjustable arm and pivoting shade allow light to be directed exactly where it is needed, providing versatility for focused reading light or softer ambient illumination. Integrated with a convenient switch, the lamp offers easy everyday operation while maintaining its clean and minimalist appearance. The intelligent counterweight system allows smooth movement and repositioning, demonstrating Schottlander’s innovative engineering approach and attention to functional detail.
Finished in black, the Mantis Sconce Wall Lamp delivers a bold graphic presence that pairs effortlessly with contemporary, industrial, and eclectic interiors. Despite its delicate appearance, the durable construction ensures lasting performance while preserving the lamp’s refined aesthetic quality.
More than a functional wall light, the BS5BLSW serves as a timeless design statement. Its harmonious combination of technical ingenuity, sculptural beauty, and adaptable lighting makes it a sophisticated addition to interiors seeking both atmosphere and iconic modern character.

Signature Mantis Silhouette
Slender lines, careful geometry, and a distinctive shade give the lamp its instantly recognizable character, bringing a sense of movement, lightness, and sculptural presence to any interior.

Pivoting Shade
The adjustable shade allows light to be directed with precision, making it easy to create focused illumination for reading, working, or relaxing while maintaining the lamp’s refined visual balance.

Versatile Black Finish
The black finish enhances the lamp’s graphic quality and makes it easy to pair with contemporary, classic, or eclectic interiors while adding a confident decorative accent.

Compact Sculptural Design
A scaled-down member of the Mantis collection, this lamp preserves Bernard Schottlander’s elegant design language while fitting beautifully into smaller spaces such as bedside tables, reading corners, and compact work areas.

| About The Designer |
Bernard Schottlander described himself as a designer for interiors and a sculptor for exteriors. Movement is intrinsic to all of Schottlander’s work: an artist, an engineer and in no small measure a handyman, he devised a clever system of counterweights combined with a series of strong and flexible metal bars. |
