Mantis Table Lamp by DCW Editions – The Elegance of Movement and Light
An adjustable table lamp with unmistakable poise, the Mantis by DCW Editions is a masterful blend of balance, fluidity, and form. Designed in 1951 by Bernard Schottlander, this iconic piece draws inspiration from the elegance of a praying mantis, capturing a sense of motion frozen in time. With its long, graceful arm and distinctive shade, the Mantis Table Lamp is both sculptural and functional — a light that dances between art and utility.
The design is built around a clever system of counterweights and tension, allowing the arm and shade to adjust with minimal effort while maintaining perfect balance. The asymmetrical shade, a hallmark of the Mantis series, casts light with precision, creating an intimate and directional glow ideal for desks, side tables, or quiet reading corners. Its matte black finish enhances the lamp’s graphic silhouette, making it a subtle yet striking addition to any interior.
DCW Editions has faithfully reissued the Mantis Table Lamp, preserving the ingenuity and character of Schottlander’s original vision. It’s more than a lighting object — it’s a study in motion, tension, and timeless design. With Mantis, light becomes an extension of movement, elegance, and purpose, always in perfect equilibrium.
DCW Éditions: Mūžīgs apgaismojums, kas godina pagātni un izgaismo nākotni
DCW Éditions ir franču apgaismojuma zīmols, kas pazīstams ar mūžīgu, funkcionālu un skaisti veidotu lampu radīšanu. Uzņēmums, kas dibināts 2008. gadā, no jauna iztēlojas vēsturiskus dizainus, vienlaikus sadarbojoties ar mūsdienu autoriem, lai radītu apgaismojumu, kas šķiet gan autentisks, gan uz nākotni vērsts.
No ikoniskās Lampe Gras lampas, ko arhitekti iecienījuši tās industriālās elegances dēļ, līdz poētiskajai Mantis sērijai un skulpturālajiem Here Comes the Sun piekaramajiem gaismekļiem, katrs gaismeklis atspoguļo DCW filozofiju: dizainam jābūt godīgam, izturīgam un iedvesmojošam.

Both my purchases were excellent quality, priced at a very reasonable level and delivered in a matter of days, despite me being the other side of the world. There is simply no way to describe that kind of a Company - expect amazingly good.
