Meet the Designer
Designed by
Pablo Studio, 2023
Pablo Studio is a small group of makers and inventors with diverse backgrounds in industrial design and craft, and a deep understanding of manufacturing, materials and technology. The team approaches each project by isolating a concept, refining it and reducing it to its central principle. Experimentation and meticulous attention to detail shape the studio’s work.
The Design Story
Totem was created by Pablo Studio. It celebrates random combinations: mouth-blown glass shades in four soft profiles (A, B, C and D, largest to smallest) on one modular LED platform, so every owner composes a light of their own.
Why You’ll Love It
It glows in two directions, so a dining room feels evenly, softly lit rather than spotlit, and the stacked opal silhouette is pure sculpture.
Made for Real Life
Hardwired with a 10-foot cable; TRIAC/ELV dimmable, 0–10V and DALI on request.

Where It Shines
Over a dining table in a staggered group of three, or as a tall single in a stair void.
Questions We Hear Most
Which combination is best over a dining table?
AB or BC for presence; mix with a CD or DD for rhythm in a cluster.
Why choose up/down over a single?
The uplight softly brightens the ceiling and the whole room.
Can I hang it in a stairwell?
Yes, the 10-foot cable allows long drops and can be cut to length in the field.
Is it glare-free?
Yes, the opal glass fully diffuses both LEDs.
What voltages are available?
120V or 240V; 120–277V with a 0–10V driver on request.
Who is this not for?
Anyone who wants a plug-in light, a wet-location fixture, or a very low ceiling. It is hardwired, Pablo lists no wet or damp rating, and a two-shade stack needs vertical room.
