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. Functionality and balance at its core — the shade is adjustable, pointing the light exactly where you need it.
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.”
