Pablo Designs Pilar Table Lamp – Marble Column with Glass Globe

A dialogue between solidity and lightness: a monolithic marble column with a 12-inch opal glass globe hovering above it.

Pilar is a study in geometric proportion. A monolithic column of Carrara White or Marquina Black marble supports a 12-inch frosted opal glass globe that seems to hover above it, giving pure, warm ambient light. A warm-dim bulb and an in-line full-range dimmer let you set any mood, and with a 100 CRI rating, colors look their truest.

ETL and CE certified; ADA and Title 20 compliant.
