FLOS Parentesi - standing pendant light, nickel

A very unusual lighting object: the Parentesi pendant light from FLOS can hardly be categorised in familiar contexts and is the epitome of the extraordinary Neither a floor lamp nor a pendant light, or both? It is certainly not always necessary to find a categorisation for things, but if you try with this light, you can quickly come up against limits. If you identify this design object as a pendant light, you will quickly realise that almost everything about it is anything but classic and ordinary. This starts with the fact that you can't hang it over something - a table, for example - because in addition to the ceiling suspension, you also need space on the floor to position Parentesi correctly. There is also no classic lampshade, as we know it from the majority of living room lights - no, a simple spotlight provides direct light. This can be aligned as required and is fitted with a switch. Parantesi may not be a typical light source, but it is certainly an attractive design object and a useful light! The FLOS company has been in existence for over 50 years now, working with a team of renowned designers to create special, high-quality lights that are widely recognised internationally and have received numerous awards.
