Flos PARENTESI ON-OFF Powder coated steel pendant lamp

"Pio Manzù had the original idea for Parentiesi.‎ 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 chord that, when bent creates friction and enables the lamp to be in position without requiring any screws"  Achille Castiglioni.‎  This lamp won the Compasso d’Oro award in 1979.‎ Parentesi is a lamp providing direct light.‎ Lamp moves vertically via sliding of a painted or nickel-plated shaped steel tube on a ceiling-to-floor steel cable (4000 mm long).‎ Fixture head made of injection-molded black elastomer housing a switch.‎ Length of power cord from lamp-holder 4000 mm.‎ Net weight 3 kg.‎ Light source: Voltage: 220-250V Power: MAX 105W Light source: LED 15W E27 2000lm [not included] Switch ON-OFF   Further info from manufacturer on PARENTESI ON-OFF Flos
