Crafted with a focus on balance and movement, the Mantis series represents a fusion of artistic sculpture and functional engineering. The black metal body is engineered for stability while allowing the user to manipulate the light source with ease. Its industrial heritage is reflected in the clean lines and the mechanical integrity of the joints, which hold their position firmly after adjustment.

The BS5 model features a robust reach and a highly flexible head, which can be rotated and tilted to achieve precise lighting. The unit is designed to be hardwired into the wall, ensuring a clean profile without dangling cords, while the integrated switch provides convenient control for the user.

Originally designed in 1951 by the sculptor Bernard Schottlander, the Mantis series is now produced by DCW. Schottlander’s unique background—combining artistic training with practical welding skills—is evident in every piece, resulting in a timeless design that continues to influence contemporary interior lighting.

This wall lamp is suited for spaces requiring both high-performance task lighting and a strong aesthetic statement.

• Installation as a bedside reading light where space is at a premium.

Clean the metal surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid the use of abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the matte finish. Periodically check the joints to ensure they remain secure, and clean only when the lamp is powered off.
