Euro plug (type C)The Europlug type C can be used in almost all European countries. Exceptions are the United Kingdom, Ireland, Cyprus and Malta. The partially insulated pins are at a slight angle to each other, which ensures sufficient contact even with slightly different sockets. The plug, which is protected against polarity reversal, can be loaded with a maximum of 2.5 amperes and is therefore suitable for protective-insulated devices of a rather low power.

Flos Parentesi – elaborate spotlight for the power socket

Parentesi lights: innovative design by Achille Castiglioni

Made in

Italy

Design

The main characteristic feature of the Parentesi from Flos is its flexibly adjustable direction of the light. It is a classic among the spotlights and today still impresses by its functional design. The Flos Parentesi is a light that convinces with its intelligent construction. It consists of a spotlight that can be slid along a tensioned steel cable by means of a shaped steel tube. This tensioned steel cable is simply screwed onto the ceiling and it has a maximum length of 400 cm. The Flos Parentesi is a design classic from 1970 and it received the Compasso d'Oro design award. This spotlight was created by the well-known designer Achille Castiglioni. The steel tube is available with a white, black, red or nickel-plated liquid-painted finish.

Designer

The Parentesi light was designed by Achille Castiglioni in 1970 for Flos.

Parentesi spotlights: maximum flexibility

The intelligent system provides the Parentesi from Flos with a flexibility that by no means is the norm: the spotlight not only may be adjusted in height. It can also be pivoted by 180° upwards and downwards and it additionally can be rotated by 360° around the steel cable. The variability is also reflected in the installation: the Flos Parentesi is operated by means of a power plug and does not require any ceiling outlet. Thus, it can be individually directed exactly to where it is required.

Spotlights that highlight the interior furnishings

Due to their versatile adjustment options and the simple installation the Flos Parentesi offers a number of application possibilities. It is ideally suited as a ceiling spot as well as for a targeted illumination of individual furnishing elements. Consequently, this light from Flos can be used to highlight a painting, a shelf or a wardrobe. Halls, bathrooms and, for instance, desks in an office may also benefit from its bright, direct lighting effect. Moreover, the reduced design of the Parentesi easily blends into the living ambience and becomes a discreet, unobtrusive light source. This spotlight particularly well harmonises with a modern interior design concept.
