Listing details
Inspired by mid‑century biomorphic aesthetics, this lamp—aptly named after the graceful stance of a praying mantis—boasts three elegantly curved hardwood legs that converge in an airy tripod. A slender “neck” elegantly arcs outward, suspending a delicately pleated, round shade crafted from cellulose acetate (a modern take on the original rhodoïd material), evoking both form and function.
