The Parentesi was born out of the collaboration between Achille Castiglioni and Pio Manzand#249; in 1971. The word "Parentesi" (Italian for "brackets" or "parenthesis") refers to the nickel-plated shaped tube on a ceiling-to-floor steel cable that is connected to the floor and ceiling and can reach up to 157". The tube allows the lamp head to move vertically along the cable. The head fixture is an injection-molded black elastomer that comes with a switch.

The Parentesi light provides direct lighting and is available in black, nickel, or red.
