Oblò is a distinctive glass pendant lamp that beautifully merges Lodes’ refined expertise in modular lighting design with the imaginative artistry of Paola Navone – OTTO Studio. This creation embodies a playful spirit deeply inspired by the sea, capturing nautical themes and marine imagery through its fluid, organic form. By reinterpreting Pyrex glass as a liquid-like material, Oblò transforms a technical medium into a poetic design element, offering a uniquely sculptural silhouette that feels both dynamic and serene.
Every detail of Oblò has been crafted with purpose and charm. The frame supporting the glass diffuser takes the shape of a hook, echoing maritime references while concealing advanced engineering within its graceful form. A white cloth-covered cable, knotted to the hook, discreetly conceals the electrical wiring, while the LED light source is ingeniously hidden inside the hook itself. This clever design leaves only the luminous glass visible, creating the captivating illusion of a floating buoy suspended effortlessly in space.
Available in three gentle silhouettes, Oblò offers a choice of five exquisite finishes that evoke the beauty of the marine world—iridescent, metallic blue, silk white, smoky grey, and transparent. Each finish accentuates the hand-applied metallisation process that gives the Pyrex diffuser its depth and reflective brilliance. Whether used as a single fixture or in composition, the lamp delivers bright, refined light that enhances its surroundings without overwhelming them.
Oblò’s design versatility allows it to adapt gracefully to a variety of spaces and atmospheres. A single pendant can provide a focal point above a coffee table or lend a soft, elegant glow beside a bathroom mirror. When arranged in groups, the different forms and finishes create rhythm and movement, especially when installed at staggered heights. This adaptability makes Oblò ideal for both intimate residential settings and grand architectural compositions. In restaurants, living areas, or hospitality spaces, clusters of Oblò pendants form cascading sculptures of light and glass, celebrating craftsmanship, creativity, and the timeless allure of the sea.
