Oblò is a new suspension lamp from Lodes, designed in collaboration with Paola Navone - OTTO Studio, to evoke the sensations of the sea. It demonstrates an innovative use of Pyrex in lighting. Each piece in the collection features a glass diffuser, which has a soft rounded shape, echoing portholes that dot the hulls of ships. The pendants are supported by knotted cables containing a hidden LED light source, giving them a floating appearance, as if they are suspended in the water like buoys.
Because of the concealed light source, the glass pendants are uninterrupted, giving the effect of looking through a porthole onto an endless seascape. The pendant is available in three shapes and five finishes, 3 of which are transparent to conjure the quality of seawater. While a single lamp offers a playful point of light,
Oblò can be displayed in clusters for unlimited installations.
