DCW catalogue Mantis by Schottlander - 2

dcw. éditions présente Bernard Schottlander. Philippe Cazer et Frédéric Winkler Driven by the same energy that led us to reproduce the series of lights by the French engineer Bernard-Albin Gras and the chair Surpil, we are delighted to present here those by an equally extraordinary artist, the English sculptor-designer Bernard Schottlander. C’est avec la même passion qui nous a menés à éditer les Lampes Gras de l’ingénieur Bernard-Albin Gras et la chaise Surpil, que nous présentons les luminaires du talentueux designer-sculpteur anglais : Bernard Schottlander. Remerciements tout...

TRIBUTE TO CALDER As admirer of Alexander Calder, in 1951 Schottlander created the “MANTIS” series of lamps. 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...

HOMMAGE À CALDER Grand admirateur d’Alexander Calder, Bernard Schottlander crée en 1951 une série de luminaires du nom de MANTIS. Le mouvement est la source d’inspiration de tout le travail de Schottlander : artiste, ingénieur-bricoleur, il met au point un système de pivot-contrepoids astucieux, et utilise des joncs de métal souples et résistants. Projeté en l’air comme un acrobate, le réflecteur en aluminium repoussé est novateur : l’oeil du sculpteur le taille en mouvement hélicoïdal : la symétrie tiraille l’assymétrie. Ses luminaires, jouant sur la tension entre l’équilibre et le...
