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
Swell comes from Pablo Studio, the small San Francisco team of makers and inventors behind Pablo Designs, founded by Venezuelan-born industrial designer Pablo Pardo in 1993. Swell was conceived to blur the line between indoor and outdoor lighting: elegant, undulating spun-aluminum shades with a radiant brass interior, rated for damp locations, that can hang alone, cluster as a chandelier or string together in long modular runs.
Why You’ll Love It
The freedom to design the light: a stair cascade, a run over a bar or a cluster over a table, with brass interiors that make every module glow.
Made for Real Life
Interconnectable sockets, replaceable E26 LED lamps and TRIAC/ELV dimming.

Questions We Hear Most
What size is the Swell String Single Narrow?
8 in (20 cm) diameter and 14 in (36 cm) tall; Pablo’s String sheet lists no shade sizes, so this is the same-named row on the Swell Single sheet.
What do I need to start a string?
A power feed (sold separately) plus your modules, or a String 3 Mixed set, which includes it.
Can I mix sizes in one string?
Yes. Other sizes: Medium, Wide.
What light color is it?
3000K, fixed, on Pablo’s sheet. It does not shift warmer as it dims, and the EU lamp on the sheet is 2700K.
Who is it not for?
It is hardwired via a power feed, so it needs an electrician. It is damp rated with no wet rating, so not for wet locations, and not for anyone wanting dim-to-warm.
