The Mantis BS5 Wall Light by DCW éditions is a steel and aluminium wall light designed by Bernard Schottlander, built around a pivot-counterweight system using flexible metal rods. Inspired by the mobiles of Alexander Calder, the lamp balances between tension and poise, appearing to defy gravity with an elegance that is as much sculptural as it is functional. Suited to bedrooms, reading corners, and hospitality settings where precise, directional light is needed. Lamp not included. Part of the broader Mantis collection, which includes the BS5 Mini variant.

Please note: this product is imported to order from France and cannot be returned or refunded once purchased. We recommend checking all details carefully before buying. Domestic delivery charges apply on dispatch. Please allow approximately 4 weeks for delivery.

Supplier Reviews

“I’m so delighted with my Bode lights from Social Light. Kat and the team were amazing to deal with and organising swift delivery for me. The lights themselves give off a gorgeous radiance due no doubt to their quality materials, which was a great contrast to a lot I had seen. A really positive experience and outcome.”
