{"title":"FLOS Designers - Achille \u0026 Pier Giacomo Castiglioni","description":"Responsible for some of FLOS most iconic designs, Achille \u0026amp; Pier Giacomo Castiglioni created a peerless \u0026amp; timeless body of work. Trained as architects in Italy their playful and sometimes surrealist post-war take on every aspect of design resulted in a body of work which continued to inspire to this day, reflected in the many re-issues of their work to integrate new innovations in materials \u0026amp; design processes, or even just a new colour.\u003cbr\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"flos-parentesi-50-glossy-turquoise-with-dimmer-gb-pendant-id-11428","title":"FLOS Parentesi 50 Glossy Turquoise with Dimmer (GB) Pendant - ID 11428 - CLEARANCE","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCLEARANCE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ex1 in stock - \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eLAST ONE!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoxed, as New in Original Packaging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned by Achille Castiglioni and Pio Manzu, 1971 for FLOS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLimited Edition FLOS 50th Anniversary Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePio Manzu had the original idea for Parentiesi. He thought up a fixed vertical boom and a cylindrical box with a slot for the light, which went up and down: you stopped it with a screw. He replaced the boom with a metal chord that, when bent creates friction and enables the lamp to be in position without requiring any screws.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLamp providing direct light.

For us, light is the substance for expressing new ideas and illuminating unexplored emotions. We write the future, reading our past and expressing the present, in a continuity of positive challenges and bold choices that have shaped our image and identity. Our history has taught us to fan the flames of provocation with research into new poetic notions of functionality. Trusting our intuition has always allowed us to create products that become icons, establishing new typologies and innovative archetypes. Connecting with masters of design. Discovering new talents. Commanding high technical and technological status. Staying tuned into mass culture. These qualities always place us at the cutting edge. Experimentation opens the way for us to use revolutionary materials - as in the past with Cocoon - and hi-tech solutions, today represented by OLEDs and eco-sustainable materials. By conceiving new languages around light, we chart new aesthetics and freedoms for living. Our lamps, of yesterday and today, never fail to be serious about their sense of play and irony. On the fine line that divides and unites art and design, craftsmanship and industry, the limited edition and larger scale manufacturing, an individual's idea and the collective imagination. That's our place. That's where you'll find us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FLOS Clearance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53688688083274,"sku":"FLOS F5601374 PARENTESI - BOXED, CLEARANCE","price":440.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/6819\/0794\/files\/F5601374_1-1_3d88341c-809c-402c-80df-17635d68017f.jpg?v=1767444341"}],"url":"https:\/\/horshamlighting.co.uk\/collections\/flos-designers-achille-pier-giacomo-castiglioni.oembed","provider":"Horsham Lighting Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
