Pablo Bola Bell Perforated Metal Pendant, Tilting Shade, Warm-Dim LED

A flared, perforated metal pendant that tilts to aim its light and dims toward a candle-like warmth.

Bola Bell sets a spun-metal shade over a Bola globe. Fine perforations let light through in a pattern of light and shadow, and an integrated tilt lets you aim the shade.

It comes in three sizes and four shade colors with a choice of stem and canopy finishes, so it fits a bedside, a dining table or a double-height entry.
