Pablo Designs Bel Occhio Table Lamp – 16" Globe, Rotating, Dimmable

A lamp you can turn with one hand: a 16-inch clear acrylic globe, cradled in its base, that rotates from soft glow to focused spotlight.

Bel Occhio is both a multi-position spotlight and an ambient table lamp. Its 16-inch clear acrylic sphere sits in its base and turns a full 360° with a touch of the hand, while the white or orange inner column of light floats freely inside, giving a soft ambient glow and a focused beam wherever you aim it. A full-range in-line slide dimmer sets the mood.

Clear with White or Orange diffuser.
