2. Unfold by Muuto

Multidisciplinary design and interior architecture studio Form Us With Love reinvents the industrial lamp with the Unfold. Silicone rubber allows the lamp to be folded into a compact package. Out of the package you can open and just unfold the pendant. The vulcanised rubber, which comes in thirteen different colors, gives the lamp a modern and warm appearance.

3. Parentesi by Flos

Parentesi just celebrated its 50th anniversary last year. Achille Castiglioni saw a drawing by the deceased car designer Pio Manzù, known for the Fiat 127, and was inspired by its simplicity. A slotted, light emitting cylindrical tin resting on a rod connecting ceiling and floor. Castiglioni replaces the rod with a metal wire that, deflected by a tube, causes friction. The slight adjustment makes the lamp stay in position without the need for a screw.
