Pablo Designs

Pablo Designs is a contemporary lighting brand, founded in San Francisco in 1993 by Pablo Pardo, a Venezuelan-born industrial designer who grew up in a family of artists and engineers. With this upbringing, Pablo Pardo has created a brand that values simplicity and utility. With the creation of his first product, Pablo established a powerful and generative design philosophy. Since then, his core principles have informed the development of every light in the brand's 25-year history. Pablo Designs collaborates with a range of independent designers, resulting in a catalogue of products that continue to move with culture while withstanding the waves of developing trends in design.

Pablo is a brand that puts the emphasis on the 'less-is-more' mindset, stepping away from unimportant details and instead highlighting the skill, craftsmanship, and material used within its products and the manufacturing process. The philosophy behind Pablo Designs is a powerful mission to create designs that deepen the relationship between objects, their users, and their environments on a daily basis. They are known for manufacturing lighting solutions that create cosy pockets of illumination and add depth to a range of interiors and exteriors.

The brand strives to achieve this mission by transforming any environment with high-quality light and creating long-lasting lighting solutions for 'a lifetime of illumination'. A common thread linking all of Pablo Design's products is an ongoing value for permanence and sustainability, discarding the increasingly popular 'disposable mindset'. This demonstrates how long-lasting and timeless Pablo Designs are as they work to make their manufacturing processes more sustainable.
