In conceiving of Cortina, designer Pablo Pardo sought to create a light that would assert its presence but seamlessly complement a variety of surroundings. What he built is a stoic, sculptural luminaire that emits a seductive light through its transparent and diffused surfaces.

Pablo was founded in San Francisco in 1993 by Venezuelan-born industrial designer Pablo Pardo. Pablo values permanence and sustainability, discarding the disposable mindset to create timeless designs that deepen the relationship between users and their environment.
