Designed by Michael Anastassiades, it is a rechargeable table lamp that diffuses the light through a solid transparent crystal base, whose shape refers to the architectural typology of ancient columns. The lampshade is available in a number of different metals and color finishes: stainless steel, brass, satin copper or green opaline coating

Flos lighting

When it comes to interiors, it is impossible not to give the right emphasis to the Flos lighting solutions. Today we present "Parentesi at 50". That of Parentesi, the lamp produced by Flos since 1971 by Pio Manzù and Achille Castiglioni, today proposed in the Turquoise and Orange Signal versions on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary, is a magical story that reflects the entire history of Flos, in which design becomes a dialogue between who is there and who is no longer there and a manifestation of the respect that those who create should have for the creativity of others.

Flos lighting, the best of Italian design

Achille Castiglioni

Flos lighting is the result of a design project in which the creative minds of "Made in Italy", such as Achille Castiglioni, collaborate.

Achille was born in Milan in 1918. Already in 1940 he dedicated himself to industrial production tests together with the brothers Livio (1911-1979) and Pier Giacomo (1913-1968).

After graduating in architecture in 1944, he began research in the field of forms, techniques and new materials with the aim of developing an integral design process. He is one of the founders of ADI in 1956.

In 1969 he received the authorization from the Ministry of Education to teach "Artistic Design for Industry", he was professor at the Faculty of Architecture of Turin until 1980, then professor of "Industrial Design" in Milan until 1993. Since 1950 it is active in the field of research and experimentation of set-ups for exhibitions (Triennale di Milano, Montecatini, Agip, Rai). Fourteen of his works are exhibited at the MoMA in New York.
