Iconic family of lights, gracing homes all around the world — from its origins in Paris, to New York, to London and beyond. Mantis is instantly recognised for its voluminous, curvaceous shade that emanates a beautiful, wide beam of useful light. The hardware is incredibly minimal, making the shade appear to float as if lifted by light and air alone. Both the shade and stem are adjustable — and this version adds a convenient thumbswitch on the base so you can turn the light on and off without touching the wall switch.
From the designers: “As an admirer of Alexander Calder, in 1951 Schottlander created the Mantis series. Like an acrobat suspended in midair, the shade is made from aluminium using spinning and chasing techniques — to which he brought his sculptor’s eye to create a helical movement.”
