PABLO Umbrella Table and Floor Lamp
Pablo Pardo, 1997
Trained as an industrial designer, Pablo Pardo cut his teeth at Daimler Chrysler before opening his own studio in 1993. Coming from a family of designers, Pardo's designs are deceptively simple, often made from no more than a couple of materials, beautifully crafted and devoid of superfluous details. “My goal is not to design another beautiful object,” Pablo states, “it’s about challenging how we see things.” Once in use, his lamps take on a new character that is more experiential than simply visual; It's the experience rather than the look of an object that Pablo seeks in his designs. The adjustable Umbrella Light provides a spectrum of lighting
possibilities, from soft, reflective illumination, to a brightly
focused reading lamp. Fully adjustable, featuring a washable lycra shade and a full range dimmer. The die cast iron base is powder coated silver and features a stainless steel shaft.
