Meet the Designer
Designed by
Pablo Pardo with the Pablo Studio
Raised among artists and engineers in Venezuela, Pablo Pardo builds lights that are sparse, useful and quietly clever. He opened his San Francisco studio in 1993 and still leads it; his work has collected honors from ICFF, NeoCon, Interior Design, Red Dot and the German Design Award, and a piece of his sits in the SFMOMA collection. The Pablo Studio, the brand’s in-house team in San Francisco, engineered and refined it.
The Design Story
Sky was designed by Pablo Pardo, the Venezuelan-born industrial designer who founded Pablo Designs in San Francisco in 1993. He conceived it as a modular pendant system built around one remarkable light engine, Sky Solo: a slim, CNC-machined aluminum lamp with a two-sided LED that sends glare-free light down through a flat panel and up to the ceiling at the same time. Add a spun-metal dome, a pressed-wood dome or an acoustic felt disc and the same lamp becomes a completely different light. Sky Dome was recognized with a 2020 IDA Silver Award, a 2020 Metropolis Likes Award and as a 2020 NYCxDESIGN Honoree.
Why You’ll Love It
It almost disappears when off, then fills a room with soft, even light when on, and the uplight makes ceilings feel higher.
Made for Real Life
Hardwired, ELV dimmer recommended, 50,000-hour LED.
