Mantra Kriss 1 Light Squircle Pendant - Bronze

A Warm Glow Inside Blown Glass

The Kriss pendant wraps a single light source in two layers of glass, a bronze tinted outer globe and a ribbed inner funnel that channels the glow downward through dozens of thin vertical lines. The rounded squircle silhouette softens what is otherwise a bold, architectural shape, giving you a striking single point of light for above a table or a kitchen island.

Choosing Your Kriss

This bronze glass gives off a warm, honeyed cast that deepens once the lamp inside is switched on, and it sits alongside a black glass version in the same squircle shape for a cooler, moodier alternative. Mantra also makes Kriss in a taller cylinder silhouette if a narrower profile would suit your ceiling better, so the choice really comes down to which tone and outline fits the room you have in mind.

How It Works

Kriss takes a single GU10 lamp of up to 12W, using a 50mm reflector bulb that is not supplied, so you can choose the exact brightness and colour temperature you want. The fitting is wired to Class I standards and hangs on a slim rod from a bronze ceiling rose, with a maximum drop of 180cm allowing it to be set at the height that works for your table or worktop. The glass globe measures 40cm across, giving the light enough room to diffuse evenly through both the outer shade and the ribbed inner diffuser.

Where It Works Best

Kriss earns its keep as a centrepiece rather than a background light, which is why Mantra and Moonlight Design both point to kitchens and dining rooms as its natural home. Hang it low over a dining table to pool light where you eat, or use it above a kitchen island or breakfast bar where a single strong pendant reads better than a row of smaller downlights. Because it throws a warm, contained glow rather than broad ambient light, it works well paired with separate task lighting nearby rather than as a room's only source of illumination.

Made By Mantra

Mantra has been designing lighting from its base in Valencia since 2000, building a reputation on fittings that look considerably more expensive than they are. The Kriss range is typical of that approach: a genuinely sculptural glass shape achieved through an in house design team rather than a catalogue of anonymous imports. Over more than 25 years the brand has grown from a Spanish and regional business into one with distribution across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, and that longevity still counts for something in a market full of newer, less proven names. Mantra will never be mistaken for one of the very top tier architectural lighting houses, and it does not try to be, but pieces like Kriss show a design sensibility well above what you would expect at this level.

Questions People Ask

Does the Kriss pendant come with a bulb?
No, it takes a single GU10 lamp of up to 12W that you source separately, which means you can pick the exact brightness and colour temperature you prefer.

Can I hang it lower or higher than the standard drop?
The rod allows a maximum drop of 180cm, so it can be adjusted at installation to suit your ceiling height and how low you want it to sit over a table.

Is this pendant suitable for a bathroom?
No, Kriss is rated IP20 for general indoor use and is not designed for bathrooms or other zones where it could be exposed to moisture.
