The DCW Editions Mantis Mini Wall Lamp is a refined interpretation of Bernard Schottlander’s iconic Mantis series, scaled for intimate spaces without compromising on its sculptural presence. Designed with the same ingenuity that made the original collection a design classic, the Mini Wall Lamp combines fluid movement, striking geometry, and timeless elegance in a compact form.
Its defining feature is the shade—an extraordinary creation that recalls an acrobat suspended in mid-air. Crafted from aluminium using traditional spinning and chasing techniques, it embodies Schottlander’s unique ability to merge craftsmanship with artistry. The helical design sets symmetrical and asymmetrical forms in deliberate opposition, producing a dynamic tension that feels both balanced and weightless. When lit, the shade enhances this interplay, casting a focused yet atmospheric glow.
The Mantis Mini Wall Lamp is not simply decorative; it is highly functional. Its proportions make it ideal for use as a reading light beside a bed, an accent piece in a hallway, or a subtle source of illumination in a living area. Wall-mounted, it delivers purposeful light while maintaining a minimal footprint, perfectly suited for contemporary interiors where space efficiency and design integrity are equally valued.
Rooted in Schottlander’s fascination with movement and equilibrium, the Mantis Mini Wall Lamp offers more than light—it offers a sculptural experience. It captures the essence of the Mantis collection in a smaller format, proving that scale does not diminish impact. With its graceful form, artisanal construction, and practical adaptability, this lamp brings both elegance and intimacy to modern living spaces.
