The Mantis floor lamp, a wired silhouette naturally evoking a mantis-religious in weightlessness, has just been structurally modified by DCWéditions as Schottlander had envisaged in his time. Playing on the tension between balance and imbalance, still composed of a long steel rod topped by its black shade pivoting on a ball joint, placed on its round base, the BS8 L floor lamp changes its base, its leg, by swapping its original rack-and-weights system for an ingenious squaring of the circle with suggestive graphics and voids. A true sculpture, now adjustable by means of a dial, gaining a wide range of modularity through its versatility of use, the Mantis BS8 L floor lamp gives back to Bernard what was Schottlander's.
