Pablo Designs Carousel Small LED Table Lamp – Tray with Wireless Charging

Carousel’s charging tray and rippling light in its lowest profile: 4.3 inches tall, perfect for nightstands and desks where space is tight.

Carousel Small sets a spun steel tray on a 4.3-inch fluted acrylic cylinder. A flat-panel LED hidden under the tray glows down through the flutes and casts rippling patterns of light across the surface, while the tray charges two phones wirelessly and offers a USB-C port. Touch the tray for three light levels that warm from 2700K to 2200K as they dim.

Choose a Clear or Bronze diffuser, a Black, White or Terracotta tray, and a 12-inch or 16-inch tray size. Designed by the Pablo Studio in San Francisco. Carousel was named an Honoree in the Furniture & Lighting category of the 2023 Core77 Design Awards.

Why we carry it

MetropolitanDecor is an authorized Pablo Designs retailer, curating design-led lighting since 2009. Carousel Small is the version we recommend for nightstands and desks: low enough to stay out of your sightline, generous enough to hold and charge everything. Pablo Designs has made lighting in San Francisco since 1993.

Buy once: durability and care

There are no bulbs to replace, and Carousel carries a one-year Pablo Designs warranty. Our care advice: dust the fluted acrylic with a soft microfiber cloth (avoid paper towels and solvents), wipe the steel tray with a damp cloth, and remove phone cases thicker than about 5 mm for reliable wireless charging.
