Mantis BS2 lights: sophisticated balance

Made in

France

Design

The French light manufacturer DCWéditions breathes new life into the design classics of the 20th century and makes no exception with the DCWéditions Mantis BS2. The wall light was conceived by the German designer and artist Bernard Schottlander. While designing this wall light in 1951, he was inspired by the artwork of Alexander Calders. Just like his sculptures, the Mantis BS2 shows a sophisticated balance. The characteristic head of the luminaire, which resembles a pointed cap, is connected to a long pole, held in place by means of a chain. The wall bracket is also characterised by an exemplary balance: the wall light by DCWéditions is screwed to the wall at two points with the pole in the middle leaning against the wall. By means of this elaborate construction, the Mantis BS2 surely attracts the attention of its viewers.

Mantis BS2 wall lights: outstanding flexibility

The DCWéditions Mantis BS2 emits its needs-oriented zone light directly downwards and may be adjusted as needed. For example, the 1.5 m long pole may be swivelled both horizontally and vertically. Furthermore, the lamp head can be rotated thanks to a ball joint. An additional advantage of the Mantis BS2 is that the switch is attached to the little ball at the end of the pole leaning against the wall. Thereby, the wall light may easily be switched on and off without having to get up from a chair, for example. The Mantis by DCWéditions may be equipped with either a compact fluorescent lamp or a retrofit LED with an E14 socket. light11 recommends using an LED illuminant or if possible an LED filament light bulb as they are highly efficient and do not contain mercury.

Flexible wall lights for illuminating dining tables and workspaces

The DCWéditions Mantis BS2 is suited for many different areas of application. For example, leaning over a dining table, the wall light spoils it with pleasant zone light and highlights the food and the drinks in an appetizing manner. Thereby, the wall light by DCWéditions acts as a practical alternative to pendant lights in dining rooms and kitchens that do not have a ceiling outlet. Furthermore, the Mantis BS2 may also serve as a desk lamp thanks to its exemplary flexibility. There, it illuminates the workspace with zone light, which is easy on the eyes and helps you to stay focussed.
