Parentesi Floor Lamp

i have had two for 20 years and wanted another. simple and elegant solution particularly if you pair it with an LED bulb.

What you see is what you get. This is like a bicycle, nothing hidden. The light is also flexible in it's ability to use numerous types of bulbs. We have accumulated five of these over the years.

The Parentesi just hangs there a beautiful abstraction of floor lamp doing what it was designed to do! I had a little difficulty with attaching it to the ceiling, but that's me. Eventually all is perfect! I would highly recommend this light and design.

I fell in love with Parentesi the first time I saw it 7 years ago; and now I have 6 of them at home. The installation definitely requires some planning, especially the placement of the ceiling mount for the tension wire. But once you got over the handy-man stage, the product is definitely worth the trouble. You can use it as a focal point, or it can easily blend in with the surrounding. Parentesi is a true testiment of "Less Is More."

I love the minimalist industrial design of this lamp. My only complaint is the difficulty to adjust the angle of the bulb. The part of the rubber connector that spins is attached with a flush, headless screw that you can't tighten up. When angled at the wall, the weight of the bulb pulls it down 'til it aims at the floor. After a few tries, I found that sliding a plastic washer in there helps keep it in place.
