The Mantis Table Lamp is a refined expression of Bernard Schottlander’s celebrated design philosophy, blending sculptural elegance with functional precision. Originally conceived as part of the iconic Mantis collection, this table model offers a versatile and minimal solution for modern desk and side lighting. Its unique system of counterweights, paired with a network of strong yet flexible steel bars, ensures stability while allowing smooth, intuitive movement. With four adjustable positions, it provides tailored illumination that adapts effortlessly to a range of tasks and environments.

At the heart of its design is a spun aluminium shade, finished in satin black, which diffuses light with a broad, even spread. The result is a lamp that is practical for concentrated activities, such as reading or working, while also providing a warm, ambient glow for more relaxed settings. Its understated silhouette—slender yet commanding—makes it an ideal choice for both professional and domestic interiors.

The Mantis Table Lamp’s adaptability extends beyond the study or workspace. Positioned on a side table in a dining or living area, it brings subtle sophistication, enhancing the atmosphere with quiet authority. Its capacity to rotate 180° and adjust its lean across four angles ensures flexibility without compromising its clean, minimal form.

Constructed with durable steel and aluminium, the lamp embodies Schottlander’s commitment to functional artistry: a balance of technical ingenuity and timeless design. Compact yet powerful, it is equally at home as a practical tool and as a statement piece, a reminder that great design lies in the harmony between purpose and beauty.
