About the Item
DCW Editions Mantis BS8 L Floor Lamp in Black Steel by Bernard Schottlander
A wired silhouette that naturally evokes a praying mantis in weightlessness, the Mantis floor lamp has been structurally tweaked and improved just as Schottlander envisioned in his time. Playing on the tension between balance and imbalance, still composed of a long steel rod topped by a black shade pivoting on a ball joint, resting on its round base, the BS8 L floor lamp has a new base and arm, swapping its original system of rack and counterweight for an ingenious "squaring of the circle" with suggestive graphics and voids.
A true sculpture now adjustable by a dial, gaining a wide versatility of use, the Mantis BS8 lamp gives back to Bernard what belonged to Schottlander.
Bernard Schottlander was born in Mainz, Germany in 1924 and moved to England in 1939. After serving with the British Army in India, he learnt to weld and took a course in Sculpture at Leeds College of Art and subsequently – with the help of a bursary – at the Anglo-French art centre in St John’s Wood. Bernard Schottlander described himself as a designer for interiors and a sculptor for exteriors.
After several successful years as an industrial designer, Bernard Schottlander chose to concentrate on sculpture. In the late 1950’s he established a workshop in North London where he was ably assisted for many years by George Nash. From 1965 he taught metalwork at St Martins School of Art. In the same year he was part of the group show Six Artists at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London and in the following year (1966) had his first solo show at the Hamilton Galleries, London.
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.
The shade also is unique of its kind. Like an acrobat suspended in mid-air,
it is made from aluminium using spinning and chasing techniques that are
a part of the metalworker’s inventory of skills, but to which he has
brought his sculptor’s eye to create a helical movement in which the
symmetrical and the asymmetrical are in opposition.
