Flos Parentesi Pendant Lamp

The lamp uses a tension system. A steel cable is mounted between the floor and the ceiling, and the lamp fixture slides along this cable, held in place by the friction of its own weight and the tension of the wire.

Yes, that is the primary feature of the design. You can slide the lamp head up and down the cable effortlessly to position the light exactly where you need it, whether you are using it for reading or ambient illumination.

The Parentesi uses a BR-40 bulb, which is not included with the fixture. Because the lamp is dimmable, you can pair it with a compatible dimmable bulb to adjust the brightness to your preference.

The included steel cable is 157 inches long, which accommodates most standard residential ceiling heights. If your ceiling is exceptionally high, you may need to verify if the cable length is sufficient for your specific space.

It is designed primarily for direct, focused lighting. While it can contribute to the overall ambiance of a room, it functions best as a task light for reading, working, or highlighting a specific area.

No, the fixture does not come with a built-in dimmer. To use the dimming functionality, you will need to purchase a separate dimmer switch compatible with your wall outlet or lighting setup.
