Born out of a 1971 collaboration between Achille Castiglioni and Pio Manzù, the Parentesi was named for the symbol of the parenthesis – a visual reference to the nickel-shaped tube that lives atop a floor-to-ceiling steel cable. Parentesi provides direct lighting and is available in black, nickel, or red.

Inspiration behind the design:"Pio Manzù had the original idea for Parentiesi", explains Achille Castiglioni."He thought of a fixed vertical pole and a cylindrical box with a slot for the light, which went up and down:he stopped it with a screw. He replaced the pole with a metal cord which, when bent, creates friction and allows the lamp to stay in position without the need for screws".

Dimensions:H. 400 x W. 11 cm

The beginning of the Flos brand (which means"flower"in Latin) came from a brilliant idea:to create objects, starting with a lamp, that would change the way of life in the Italian market and abroad.

Empatias is proud to have this luxury lighting brand in its online store.
