Pablo Designs Bola Felt LED Pendant – Acoustic Wool Felt, 24"–52"

A wool felt shade that softens light and sound.

Bola Felt rests a thick wool felt shade over Bola’s opal glass globe. The shade can be tilted to several angles to direct the light, and the felt has excellent acoustic properties, quieting busy dining rooms and gathering spaces.

Shades come in 24, 32, 42 and 52 inches in Pebble Grey felt with a chrome stem and canopy. The LED gives 1,100 to 1,710 lumens at 95 CRI, dimming from 2700K toward 1800K.
