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.

Adjustable shade and stem, structure in steel and shade in aluminium in black
