The amber color is so attractive that the lamp designers could not pass by it indifferently, even if they did not directly use this material in their lamps. There are many lamps referred to as “amber”, which refers only to the color of the light emitted. An example is the lamp called “Parola” designed by Italian designers Gae Aulenti and Piero Castiglioni in 1980, using three types of glass in order to adequately convey the character of this alluring hue.
