The Mantis Compact Lamp proves that good things truly do come in small packages. As part of Bernard Schottlander’s celebrated Mantis collection, this scaled-down version retains all the elegance and sculptural dynamism of the original designs while adapting perfectly to modern, smaller spaces. Its compact proportions make it an ideal choice for reading nooks, bedside tables, or any intimate setting where both style and functionality are essential.
True to Schottlander’s vision, the lamp is a study in balance and motion. The signature silhouette—defined by slender lines, a distinctive shade, and carefully calculated geometry—remains instantly recognizable. Even in its reduced size, the lamp captures the same sense of weightlessness and poise that characterizes the full-scale Mantis floor and wall models. The pivoting shade allows for precise direction of light, giving users the flexibility to create the right atmosphere for reading, working, or simply unwinding.
Crafted with the same attention to detail as its larger counterparts, the compact version combines structural simplicity with visual impact. Its black finish underscores its graphic quality, while its thoughtful proportions ensure it integrates seamlessly into a variety of interiors, from contemporary to eclectic.
This smaller edition does more than save space—it carries forward the timeless spirit of Schottlander’s design philosophy. By bringing sculptural form and functional purpose into a reduced footprint, the Mantis Compact Lamp makes design excellence accessible to spaces of any size. Whether used as a task light or an atmospheric accent, it offers a perfect balance of practicality and elegance, proving that scale does not diminish presence.

Designer Information
| About The Designer |
Bernard Schottlander described himself as a designer for interiors and a sculptor for exteriors. 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. |
