Parentesi 50

Description

Respect is also reflected in the choice, made by Flos’ design curator, architect Calvi Brambilla, to draw from the imagination of both creators of Parentesi for the special edition that celebrates its 50th anniversary. The pair chose Turquoise and Signal Orange following a philological approach. ‘The first was dear to Castiglioni, who had used it for home interiors. The second was the colour that Manzù used for his prototypes,’ explain the architects. ‘We applied them on the tube but also on the base, as it was coloured in the original design. Even the 1970s packaging has been re-engineered and reintroduced, together with the round booklet, positioned under the base of the lamp.’

More than a nostalgic operation, this re-interpretation of the Parentesi sounds like another piece of the dialogue between design maestros: a conversation that has lasted 50 years.
