Much like the crouching stance of the Praying Mantis, the Mantis Floor Lamp by DCW editions Paris sits ever so gently on the floor, exuding elegance and minimalism. The combination of the thin Steel legs and stem and the slightly curved Aluminum shade add a delicate touch to an otherwise utilitarian object. A switch on the cord, as well as an adjustable stand, make for a user-friendly and multi-functional piece.
