Oblò pendant light by Paola Navone for Lodes

Dezeen Showroom: Italian architect Paola Navone collaborated with Venetian brand Lodes to create Oblò, a pendant light with a chromatic palette designed to recall "the sensations of the sea".

Navone of Milanese practice OTTO Studio created the pendant light, which is characterised by a bulbous diffuser made from pyrex and silicone.

Each diffuser is finished in iridescent, transparent, azure steel, glossy smoke or silk white finishes. The light also comes in three globular shapes.

The diffuser is suspended by a slender woven fabric cable with a grey rubberised terminal that conceals the electric wiring and is attached by a delicate hook.

An LED is hidden within the hook, ensuring only the glass is visible. This was designed to create the illusion of the diffuser floating like a buoy.

"Oblò, the Italian word for 'porthole', has a fluid silhouette and chromatic palette, evoking the sensations of the sea," said Lodes.

The pendant light can be used in a variety of residential or commercial spaces – from stairwells to above kitchen islands – and will be unveiled at the Lodes showroom during Milan design week.
