FLOS Parentesi - standing pendant light, red

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 a place on the floor to put Parentesi in the right position. 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.
