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
Pablo Studio designed Circa in 2013 as a new kind of indoor light. A flat-panel LED spreads warm, even light across the whole disc. The Grommet version clamps through the desk surface instead of standing on a base.
Why You’ll Love It
It makes a desk feel bigger. The light rises from the surface like a sculpture, the disc glows softly with no glare, and the USB port keeps your phone charged without a cable trailing across the desk.
Made for Real Life
A plug-in lamp with an 8 ft (244 cm) cord, a USB-A port and full-range dimming from 100% to 10% through an optical switch. Ships flat-packed.

Questions We Hear Most
What is a grommet lamp?
A lamp that mounts to the work surface instead of standing on a base, freeing up desk space.
Will Circa Grommet fit my desk?
Pablo’s surface mount fits worksurfaces 1.18, 2 or 3 inches (3, 5 or 7.5 cm) thick. Check your desk thickness first.
Is the light good for screen work?
The glare-free disc is soft on the eyes, at a fixed 2700K warm white and 500 lumens.
Can it charge my phone?
Yes, via its USB-A port.
Which finish suits an office?
Graphite looks crisp; White feels light.
Who is it not for?
Anyone who wants a very bright task lamp, a desk that cannot be drilled or clamped, or a wet or damp location. It gives 500 lumens, and Pablo lists no damp or wet rating.
Why We Love It
Circa reduces a lamp to one perfect shape and makes it more useful in the process. LoftModern is an authorized Pablo Designs retailer, so every piece ships new with Pablo’s full warranty.
