Mantra Eve Single Light Switched Wall Fitting in Anthracite with Black Oval Shade

A quiet bit of sculpture on the wall

Eve trades the usual straight stem for a slender arm that kicks out into a small branching detail before it reaches the shade, giving what is otherwise a simple wall light a bit of sculptural interest. It is a fitting that looks just as considered switched off as it does lit.

Finished in anthracite with a black shade

This version pairs a dark anthracite metal frame with a black oval shade in a silky, crinkled fabric with a clear inner lining that helps diffuse the light. The two tones sit close together so the fitting reads as a single dark silhouette on the wall rather than two competing finishes. Mantra also makes Eve in polished chrome with a choice of white or black shades as separate listings, so if you would rather introduce some shine, the same design is available in a lighter finish elsewhere on the site.

How It Works

Eve takes a single E27 bulb rated up to 20W, such as a candle shaped C35 LED, which is not supplied so you can choose your own colour temperature and brightness. A rocker switch on the fitting lets you turn it on and off without going to the wall plate. It is a Class I fitting, so it must be earthed as part of the installation.

Where It Works Best

With its warm, diffused glow through the fabric shade, Eve works well either side of a bed as a pair, or as a single fitting in a dining room where you want soft, flattering light rather than a bright downlight. It is the single light version of the range, so if you need more spread across a wider wall, the two light Eve fitting with crossed arms is the sibling to look at.

Made By Mantra

Mantra has been making lighting in Valencia since 2000, with an original goal of putting genuinely designer fittings within reach of ordinary budgets rather than reserving that look for premium brands. More than 25 years of continuous trading since then have taken the company from its Spanish roots into distribution across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Details like Eve's branching arm come from Mantra's in house design team, part of a broader approach that also includes named collaborators such as Hugo Tejada, whose organic Organica collection has been one of the brand's stronger sellers since 2016.
