These mushroom shaped lamps are designed in Turkey, hence the name "Mantar" which means mushroom in Turkish. The unique and minimalist aesthetic of the Mantar Lamp is said to bring a cozy vibe to any living space.
Mantar 's 2022 LP, Pain Is Forever and This Is The End, saw the German duo bring a sonic richness to their madly heavy blackened death-punk grooves, assisting the record to its position at #2 on Germany's Official Top 10 album chart.
