Designed by Bernard Schottlander
A silhouette that naturally evokes a praying mantis in weightlessness, the Mantis floor lamp has now been structurally tweaked and improved just as designer Schottlander envisioned in his time.

A true sculpture now adjustable by a dial, gaining a wide versatility of use.

Its sinuous curves resulting from the shaping of a sheet of frosted methacrylate softly diffuse the light. It brings together ?simplicity and concept? which for Magistretti are at the heart of durable design.

These sculptural lights, characterised by their fluidity, their ethereality, their form and their transparency, are all about the subtle interplay of light and shadow. The reflections, shimmers, patterns and vibrations they create dance off the walls. ?ric de Dorma?l?s creations bring forth images, they leave impressions and they provoke sensations.
