A marvel of design and engineering, Parentesi lamp, created by design pioneers Achille Castiglioni and Pio Manzù, has been a global icon for over 50 years. Inspired by the parenthesis symbol, its adjustable spotlight glides vertically along a cable suspended from the ceiling, held taut by a counterweight hovering just above the floor. This ingenious design balances movement and stillness, engineering and artistry, simplicity and sophistication. Parentesi has a perfect accent light for a reading corner, and thanks to its directional bulb, we can focus it on the ceiling or wall and turn it into an ambient lamp. 

The metal element is available upon request in white, black, red, and nickel finishes. 

An additional Parentesi element can also be purchased, allowing you to fit two or more light sources on the same steel cable, each moving independently to illuminate different heights within your space.
