Parola Pendant Lamp
The FontanaArte Parola suspension lamp by Gae Aulenti and Piero Castiglioni presents the family’s rounded glass shade as a hanging pendant.
The amber or white diffuser descends from a slim suspension line, giving the glass form an unobstructed outline. This version provides diffused, dimmable light from a G9 bulb, with metal fittings completing the glass composition.
