DCW Mantis BS5 wall lamp, mini

In 1951 Bernard Schottlander created the elegant and delicate Mantis series, which is inspired by a praying mantis. As 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. His creations are a play between balance and gravity, which results in fascinating objects that are characterised by their gracile character.

The original prototype of the BS5 was smaller - therefore DCW now decided to launch it under the name 'BS5 Mini'.
