Oblò, Design by Paola Navone, 2024

The frame supporting the diffuser is shaped like a hook, to which a white cloth-covered cable is knotted: Lodes ingeniously concealed the electrical wiring within the fabric cable and the LED within the hook, leaving only the glass visible, creating the impression that the lamp floats in the air like a buoy.

Oblò is available in three gentle forms and five finishes reminiscent of the marine world – iridescent, metallic blue, silk white, smoky grey, and transparent – highlighting the metallisation process that enhances the diffuser glass. It offers high luminosity even when installed on its own, serving as an elegant light point above a coffee table or beside a bathroom cabinet. In group compositions, different shapes and finishes can play with alternating rhythms and movements, thanks to the ability to install the lamps at various heights. This versatility makes it suitable for any space and situation, from compositions of two or three elements in private homes and restaurants to large cascades of light above long tables or expansive living areas.
