Mantra Nora 1 Light Floor Lamp - Black, Black Marble & Chrome Glass With Frosted Inner

A Quiet Glow Behind Smoked Glass

This Nora takes the same tall, chalice shaped shade and turns it moodier, wrapping a smoked, chrome tinted outer glass around a frosted inner sleeve so the light reads as a soft amber glow rather than a bright point. Set on a black stem with a band of black marble at the neck, it suits a room built around low, layered lighting rather than one bright overhead source.

Choosing Your Nora

Here the frame is black metal, the accent at the shade neck is black marble, and the outer glass carries a smoked, chrome tinted finish over the frosted inner shade. It sits alongside two other Nora combinations, each listed separately: a gold metal version with white marble and clear glass, and a white metal version with a wood accent and clear glass. Looking at the three side by side is the easiest way to judge which metal and glass tone will actually work in your space, rather than guessing from a single photograph.

How It Works

A single E27 bulb, up to 20W, powers the lamp, in either a GLS A60 or tubular T45 shape, with no bulb included. Because the outer glass on this finish is tinted, the light it throws sits a touch warmer and softer than the clear glass versions in the range, though the actual brightness still depends on the bulb you fit. Switching is handled by a foot switch on the cable, and the lamp is built to Class II double insulated standards.

Where It Works Best

Standing 165cm tall on a 26cm base, this Nora works best as a floor mounted accent beside seating or a bed rather than as a room's main light source. Mantra lists it for living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms and hallways, and the darker, tinted glass makes it a natural fit for a scheme already built around black or dark metal accents.

Made By Mantra

Mantra was founded in Valencia in 2000 with a straightforward aim, to make lighting that looked genuinely designed without the price tag of a luxury studio brand. Sculptural pieces have been part of that story ever since Santiago Sevillano's ORA collection launched in 2012, and the same instinct for a strong, considered silhouette runs through Nora's shade. Today Mantra sells across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, offering coordinated collections that let a single finish run from ceiling pendants down to a floor lamp like this one.

Does the smoked glass make the room darker?
The tinted outer glass softens the light slightly compared with the clear glass versions in the range, giving a warmer glow, though overall brightness still comes down to the bulb you choose.
