Evolution of an industrial design icon … With the OK Pendant, the German designer Konstantin Grcic delivers a futuristic interpretation of one of the historical models of Flos: Parentesi (1971) by Achille Castiglioni and Pio Manzù. Revolutionary for the time, this totally mobile lamp won the “Compasso d’Oro” in 1979.

The OK lamp is an hommage to the original idea of Parentesi: “create a light source that slides vertically from floor to ceiling and rotates 360 ° on its axis”.

The incandescent bulb of Parentesi has been replaced by a high-tech, ultra-thin LED panel that provides functional and glare-free lighting. This disk-diffuser mounted on a painted metal body is rotatable 360° and pivots on its axis. It slides from floor to ceiling along a steel wire. The steel wire (not electrified) is fixed to the ceiling thanks to a painted metal rosette. On the ground, a counter weight ensures a perfect stability. The varnished metal body is provided with a long black electric cable (L 400 cm) with a normal wall plug.

The Ok lamp is thus free from the electrical stress of a ceiling pendant since it simply plugs into a socket on the ground.
