Parentesi 50 Pendant Lamp
The Flos Parentesi 50 lamp marks the anniversary of Achille Castiglioni and Pio Manzù's adjustable cable light.
This turquoise edition retains the shaped steel support that slides along a tensioned ceiling-to-floor cable, with a counterweight below. The indoor lamp uses an E26 bulb and includes dimming, combining the original mechanism with the commemorative color treatment.
