Achille Castiglioni's iconic Parentesi lamp has been updated with a flat LED light source by designer Konstantin Grcic. Created for Italian lighting brand Flos, which has produced the Parentesi lamp since 1972, Konstantin Grcic's OK lamp comprises a flat LED disc that slides up and down a steel cable and rotates 360 degrees. The design is an update of Castiglioni's classic Parentesi lamp, itself a version of a 1969 concept by his friend Pio Manzù, who died before it could be realised.The cylindrical weight hanging at the bottom of Castiglioni's design has been replaced with a conical weight that's easier to install, but the small spun metal ceiling rose remains exactly the same.The name of the new lamp combines the round "O" shape of the disc and the first initial of the designer's name.
