Mantra Eve 2 Arm 4 Light Pendant in Anthracite with Black Oval Shades

Two Arms, Four Points Of Light

Eve's frame curves out from a central drop in two long, low sweeping arms, each one carrying a pair of oval shades in black. It's a shape that reads as sculpture as much as light fitting, with the anthracite metalwork visible beneath the fabric rather than hidden away.

Anthracite And Black, Kept Consistent

This version of Eve pairs a dark anthracite frame with black oval shades finished in a fine crinkled texture and trimmed at the base, a moodier alternative to the polished chrome and white shade combinations found elsewhere in the range. Because the frame and shade finish are fixed together on this listing, there's no separate colour choice to make here. What you're choosing instead is the silhouette itself, a two arm, four light spread rather than the single or multi tier versions Eve is also available in.

How It Works

Four E27 lampholders sit beneath the oval shades, each taking a lamp of up to 20W in a standard GLS A60 shape (lamps not supplied). The fitting hangs on a chain rather than a fixed rod, so the drop can be adjusted at the point of installation, anywhere from around 50cm up to a maximum of 150cm, to suit ceiling height. As with most fittings of this scale, it arrives requiring some simple assembly to make sure it travels safely before going up. Wiring is to Class I standard, with an IP20 rating for dry indoor rooms.

Where It Works Best

At 88cm across, Eve needs a bit of horizontal space to spread its two arms properly, making it well suited to a dining table where guests are looking up at it from below, or a bedroom ceiling with enough width to let the sweep of the frame register properly rather than feeling cramped.

Made By Mantra

Mantra's design team has been working out of Valencia since 2000, building collections that lean into shape and silhouette rather than relying on premium materials to do the talking, and Eve's curved double arm frame is a good example of that approach in practice. The brand's more recent work, including Nacho Timon's 2024 modular track design that picked up a Gold award at the regional ADCV design competition, points to a design department still actively developing new ideas rather than repeating a decades old catalogue. Eve itself, with its fabric shades and sculpted ironwork, sits closer to Mantra's design conscious, mid market positioning than to the architectural end of the lighting world, and is honest about that rather than dressing itself up as something it isn't.
