Featuring a light bulb that moves vertically along a steel cable stretched between the ceiling and the floor, the Parentesi lamp embodies create genius and a passion for everyday objects, a dialogue that never took place.
Pio Manzù had passed away two years prior when Castiglioni had the opportunity to review his drawings. Among them, he was drawn to a design featuring a cylindrical light-emitting tin, mounted on a rod extending from the ceiling to the floor, capable of rotating halfway, moving up, down, and stopping. This was the original concept that gave life to the Parentesi lamp.
