The DCW éditions Mantis BS1 is a floor lamp that stands out through the way it combines mechanical precision with poetic movement. It is not a static lamp that simply sits beside an armchair. Its form is built around balance, counterweight and a fine metal line, creating the impression that the lamp is almost floating naturally within the space.
Bernard Schottlander, both an artist and an engineer in spirit, designed the Mantis collection with movement as a central source of inspiration. The lamp plays with the tension between balance and imbalance, resulting in a piece that works practically for reading, working or more personal light, while also standing as an object with strong design value.
In a living room, it can be placed next to a sofa or armchair, offering directional light without making the space feel heavy. In a bedroom, it can act as an alternative to a traditional bedside lamp. In offices, libraries, hospitality areas or selected professional interiors, it adds character and a sense of thoughtfulness without excess. Mantis BS1 is a strong choice for those looking for a floor lamp with movement, balance and a clean, timeless presence.
