  1. Clever counterweight mechanism to provide stability
  2. Asymmetircal shade to distribute light effectively
  3. Visibly inspired by Alexander Caldwellers iconic sculptures

Like its relative, the Mantis BS1, the BS1B is an alternate version of the original, but with a circular base. Conceptualised in 1951 by Bernard Schottlander, its age is a testament to its timeless design.

Its graceful form takes inspiration from American sculptor Alexander Calder and his static mobile sculptures. The piece remains stable due to a clever counterbalancing mechanism at the base of the structure, allowing the lamp to tilt in different directions. The shade of the lamp rotates 360 degrees making this piece as versatile as it is tasteful.

  1. How does the position of the DCW Mantis BS1 B Floor Lamp change?
  2. The base of the Mantis BS1 B Floor Lamp does not swivel a 360 degrees like the Mantis BS1 A. The flat circular base can only adjust its angle up and down. The lamp head/shade can also adjust up and down.
  3. Which room would the Mantis BS1 B Floor Lamp work best in?
  4. The Mantis BS1 B has a variety of purposes thanks to its many available positions. When studying or reading the Mantis' lamp shade can be point directly towards a surface. Conversely, create ambience or accentuate an interior by pointing the lamp shade indirectly towards a wall or feature. The E14 (11 Watt) Energy Saving Light LED bulb produces approximately 620 lumens, which is more than enough for reading. To avoid eyestrain whilst reading and carrying out tasks opt for lamps with at least 475 lumens.
  5. What is the maximum height and width of the DCW Editions BS1 B Mantis?
  6. When positioned fully upright the height of the Mantis Lamp is 165cm. The width in this position is 69cm. If lowered to its bottom angle it measures 150cm high. The corresponding width at this angle is 108cm. This is all assuming the lamp head is at a standard 90 degree angle (or thereabouts).
  7. Where is the switch on the DCW BS1 B Mantis?
  8. The switch measures approximately 150cm down the 200cm cable towards the socket end.
  9. What makes a good floor lamp?
  10. The best floor lamps offer a range of uses. The best floor lamps are able to light an area for reading, ambience and accenting/spotlighting. The minimum brightness should be around 475 lumens for all these uses. You should also be able to set a good floor lamp in a variety of positions.

        Olson + Baker were wonderful to deal with.

        We purchased our item (a beautiful coat hook) but had to delay delivery due to a trip overseas.

        We weren't dealing with an automated system, just real people who cared enough to help.

        Fantastic service, Jonathan was extremely helpful through my purchase.

        Definitely recommend and would use again.

        Thanks! Angela

        Very good service, great communication and arrived very promptly

        Thank you

        Great range of products.

        Purchased a beautiful rug from here and had a smooth overall buying experience.

        Beautiful and high quality furniture!

        Excellent delivery and customer services, even during difficult times like Covid 19.

        Beautiful item arrived earlier than indicated.

        Customer service informed me of this & then followed up after delivery to make sure it arrived safely.

        Highly recommend!

        Excellent communication and speedy delivery...

        Couldn't have been better and will certainly buy from the company again.

        Olson + Bakers service and products have been outstanding. I can't recommend Jonathan at Olson + Baker enough.

        He is an absolute star and has gone out of his way to provide superb service.

        Fantastic customer service throughout the ordering process.

        Great products - really pleased with my order.

        So glad I came across Olson & Baker for my home accessories that I would not find elsewhere on the High Street.

        Recently purchased a Nordic Style candle holder, which I had admired at a recent stay at a holiday home in Norfolk.  Product arrived very quickly. Contact via email from Jonathan. Excellent customer service and a gorgeous product too.

        Thank you Jonathan and all at Olson and Baker.

        Bought some lovely wine glasses as a gift, quick delivery, great customer service and high quality product.

        Would definitely buy from Olson and Baker again.

        The service is superb and the website is so intuitive! 10 out of 10! :D Lee

        Really excellent customer service. Can not recommend this company highly enough - the products are high quality and their communication with the customer is first class. Jonathon always responded promptly to any queries and was very helpful.

        I would definitely buy from them again.

        Lovely website, great communication, fast delivery and they came in at a price other shops couldn't compete with on the chair I was after.

        Easily recommended.

        First class service.

        The Olson Baker team continue to deliver outstanding advice and product knowledge.

        It has been an absolute pleasure buying a lovely piece of furniture from Olsen + Baker. Russell has been a delight to deal with, keeping me informed at every step of the delivery, even down to which colour would fit with my decor - nothing was too much.

        I can’t recommend highly enough.

        Excellent product but more importantly during these difficult times was the customer service level and great delivery team ....
