DCW éditions Mantis BS1 Floor Lamp
The DCW éditions Mantis BS1 Floor Lamp, designed by Bernard Schottlander, is an iconic cantilevered floor light from the Mantis collection. Its composition — a long angled arm balanced by a circular counterweight — is engineered to deliver directional task or ambient lighting within interior spaces.
The lamp’s form pairs a slender, elongated stem with a distinctive asymmetrical shade and a tripod-style base. The finish is a uniform matte black with a white-lined shade interior; the pivoting joint at the shade allows you to aim light precisely while preserving the collection’s minimalist, mid-century modern character.
Construction relies on thin metal rods and wires near the base to maintain the structural tension of the overhanging arm, with a disc-shaped counterweight placed near the junction for balance. The tripod legs radiate thinly from the base to support the offset load and keep the silhouette visually light.
Light is directed via the adjustable, pivoting shade whose white interior increases reflection and clarity of output. The BS1 is specified for both task and ambient applications where a controlled pool of light or sculptural presence is required.
Practical details: the lamp is supplied with a black power cord and an integrated circular foot-operated floor switch. It is rated IP20 and designed for indoor use only. Two-year manufacturer’s warranty applies.
At Lighting Design Online we position the Mantis BS1 as a considered choice for interiors that need both presence and purposeful light. Our guidance focuses on how the lamp’s counterweight balance, adjustable shade and finish will perform in your scheme, offering clarity and professional assurance during specification.
