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.

Compact Sculptural Design
A scaled-down member of the Mantis collection, this lamp preserves Bernard Schottlander’s elegant design language while fitting beautifully into smaller spaces such as bedside tables, reading corners, and compact work areas.

Versatile Black Finish
The black finish enhances the lamp’s graphic quality and makes it easy to pair with contemporary, classic, or eclectic interiors while adding a confident decorative accent.

Pivoting Shade
The adjustable shade allows light to be directed with precision, making it easy to create focused illumination for reading, working, or relaxing while maintaining the lamp’s refined visual balance.

Signature Mantis Silhouette
Slender lines, careful geometry, and a distinctive shade give the lamp its instantly recognizable character, bringing a sense of movement, lightness, and sculptural presence to any interior.

| 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. |
