Parentesi suspension lamps- two available. Manufactured exclusively by FLOS in Italy. These are from the 50 anniversary edition in turquoise. Designed in 1971 by Achille Castiglioni and Pio Manzù.

"Pio Manzù had the original idea for Parentiesi, explains Achille Castiglioni. He thought up a fixed vertical boom and a cylindrical box with a slot for the light, which went up and down: you stopped it with a screw. He replaced the boom with a metal cord that, when bent, creates friction and enables the lamp to be in position without requiring any screws."

The steel cable and tube allows the lamp head to move vertically along the cable to achieve a customized height. The head fixture is injection-molded black elastomer, equipped with a switch. The Parentesi provides direct lighting. Dimmer is included.
