專家說明

The design of the lamp was inspired by a sketch by Pio Manzú (1939-1969) in which a cylindrical box with a slit for light slid up and down a pole and was fixed in place with a screw. According to the sketch, Pio Manzú probably would have had the pole run from ceiling to floor. In his design, Castiglioni replaces the pole with a metal cable which when deviated creates attrition and allows the light to remain in position with no need for a screw.
The Parentesi lamp is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. It was awarded the Compasso d'Oro in 1979.
