A floor-to-ceiling lamp held by a single wire.
Light suspended between gravity and precision.
Tension is a minimal floor-to-ceiling lamp that balances light on a single wire. Inspired by the iconic Parentesi by Achille Castiglioni, Tension is a quiet statement piece: simple in form, clever in construction, and warm in atmosphere.
November, 2025
Tension is a lamp defined by balance, gravity and precision.
A single wire stretches from floor to ceiling, creating the tension that holds the light in place. The lamp’s holder glides smoothly along the wire, allowing you to position the light exactly where you need it — reading height, workspace, or ambient glow.
The design is reduced to its essentials: a printed ring that embraces the E27 fitting, a weighted base that keeps the system taut, and a warm tubular LED source that floats effortlessly in the air. Every component is purposeful, visible, and honest.
Built in small batches and locally produced, Tension captures the beauty of a simple idea executed with clarity.
