Turquoise Flos Parentesi Suspension Light

Designed by Achille Castiglioni and Pio Manzu, this icon Flos light fitting was named after a punctuation symbol and won the prestigious Compasso d'Oro award in 1979. Its design follows the curves of the parenthesis symbol and it is constructed from a nickel-plated tube that rests on a length of adjustable, floor-to-ceiling, steel cable.

The lamp head is crafted from injection-moulded, black highly flexible plastic which can be moved vertically along the cable which allows you to customise the fitting and light your space to suit your needs. Simply lift the weight from the floor and adjust the lamp head then place the weight back on the floor to tighten the cable and keep the fitting in place.

Perfect to illuminate spaces where no pendant sockets or wall lights are available. Highlight your favourite pictures, illuminate dark corners or add light to dressing areas or reading chairs. Ideal for apartments or rental properties where you are unable to change the wiring system.

Available in a striking turquoise colour which is the special, 50th Anniversary Edition finish. The steel cable is adjustable to suit your space and the fitting has a maximum suspension of 4 metres.

The bulb is not included with the fitting. Requires an E27 edison screw mains bulb with a maximum of 105 watts (8 watts LED). The original design used a R125 reflector lamp and R80 reflector lamps can be used too. 

This fixture can be connected to and used with dimmable control equipment i.e. home automation or a 5 amp lamp circuit with a dimmer switch.
