MANTIS BS2 - Wall Light

Mantis BS2 Wall Light by DCW Editions – Articulated Light with a Sculptural Soul

The Mantis BS2 Wall Light by DCW Editions is a masterful expression of balance, elegance, and movement. Part of Bernard Schottlander’s iconic 1951 Mantis collection, the BS2 brings the kinetic beauty of the series to the wall — combining a long, graceful arm with intelligent mechanics to create a light that’s as functional as it is sculptural.

Featuring a rotating, extendable arm and an adjustable, asymmetrical shade, the Mantis BS2 offers a high level of flexibility. It can be directed with ease, making it ideal for reading corners, workspaces, or as a statement piece above a table or lounge chair. Despite its reach, the design feels weightless — a floating line in space that shifts gently without disturbing the visual harmony.

Finished in matte black, the BS2’s minimalist form fits seamlessly into a range of interiors, from architectural to eclectic. DCW Editions has reissued the piece with careful attention to Schottlander’s original intent — preserving its sense of motion and poetry. The Mantis BS2 is not just a wall light; it’s a functional sculpture, a dynamic presence that brings precision, flexibility, and timeless character to any space.
