Iconic family of lights, gracing homes all around the world - from its origins in Paris, to New York, to London and beyond. Exciting, chic, useful wall light that sits proud of the wall on impossibly thin legs, arching out into the space on a long, elegant arm, secured in place with a discreet chain in the back. You can adjust the arm by playing with the chain's position. It looks like an architect has sketched it into the space, so light and accurate are the lines. Defying gravity. And it provides a beautiful wide wash of light. Functional and stunning. Timeless innovation.
LED lamping, 2700K, 318 Lumens, 3.5W, Plug In, On/Off (not dimmable).
From the manufacturers:
As admirer of Alexander Calder, in 1951 Schottlander created the MANTIS series of lamps. Movement is intrinsic to all of Schottlander’s work : an artist, an engineer and in no small measure a handyman, he devised a clever system of counterweights combined with a series of strong and flexible metal bars. The shade also is unique of its kind.
Like an acrobat suspended in midair, it is made from aluminium using spinning and chasing techniques that are a part of the metalworker’s inventory of skills, but to which he has brought his sculptor’s eye to create a helical movement.
