AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Parentesi lamp is an icon of Italian design: a visual and functional tension between floor and ceiling, thanks to a steel cable between ceiling and floor (usable length 4000 mm) on which a shaped steel tubular body slides, painted black or nickel-plated.
The head of the fixture, made of red injection-molded elastomer, is orientable and slides along the cable, offering maximum flexibility of use.
In the dimmable version, there is an electronic dimmer on the cable that allows stepwise adjustment of light intensity.
This piece perfectly blends aesthetics, function and technology — a masterpiece signed Castiglioni & Manzù — and is produced by Flos, a leading company in lighting made in Italy.
