Meet the Designer
Designed by
Pablo Studio
Pablo Studio is a tight-knit San Francisco team that picks one idea, refines it and strips it down to its essence. Their goal: objects that feel personal and a little surprising every time you use them.
The Design Story
Bola, Spanish for “ball,” is one of Pablo Designs’ signature collections, developed by Pablo Studio, the San Francisco team founded by Pablo Pardo in 1993. Every Bola pairs a softly glowing opal glass globe with a post, mirrored disc, ring or shade so the light appears to float.
Why You’ll Love It
The illusion. The mirrored disc reflects the globe and the room, so the orb looks weightless, and warm dimming makes it glow like a small sunset.
Made for Real Life
Plug it in and dim it with the in-line dimmer. The warm-dim LED bulb has a standard E26 base, so it is easy to replace. Wipe the globe with a soft cloth.
