Lighting has the power to completely shift how a space feels. It can soften a lobby, energize a collaboration zone, or add warmth to an open office. And when lighting becomes sculptural, it does even more; it becomes part of the design story.
The Bola Collection by Pablo Pardo & Pablo Studio from Haworth blends performance lighting with artistic expression. Featuring Bola Felt, Bola Disc, and Bola Sphere, this family of luminaires offers versatility, acoustic enhancement, and visual impact, all in one cohesive design language.
Here’s how each piece brings something unique to the workplace.
Bola Felt: Light + Acoustics in One Elegant Form
Open environments often struggle with two things: noise and harsh lighting. Bola Felt addresses both.
Wrapped in soft felt, this fixture introduces texture overhead while helping absorb ambient sound—making it ideal for collaboration areas, open workspaces, and shared community zones. The felt creates a warm, inviting aesthetic while also contributing to improved acoustic comfort.
Why it works:
- Softens visual and acoustic environments
- Adds material richness to ceilings
- Perfect for open-plan offices and gathering spaces
Bola Felt is especially impactful in spaces designed to feel more hospitality-driven and human-centered.
Bola Disc: A Bold, Graphic Statement
Bola Disc takes a more architectural approach. Its clean circular silhouette creates a strong graphic presence, making it an ideal focal point in conference rooms, reception areas, and executive spaces.
The slim disc form distributes light evenly while maintaining a minimal profile. It feels modern, intentional, and refined, bringing both drama and balance to a room.
Why it works:
- Strong visual identity
- Clean lines for contemporary interiors
- Ideal for feature lighting in high-visibility areas
If your goal is to make lighting part of the design narrative, Bola Disc delivers.
Bola Sphere: Timeless and Effortlessly Modern
For those who appreciate classic forms reimagined, Bola Sphere offers a refined take on the globe pendant. The spherical shape feels timeless, but its execution is distinctly modern.
It works beautifully in:
- Café spaces
- Break rooms
- Collaborative nooks
- Hospitality-inspired environments
Used individually, it creates a subtle moment. Installed in clusters, it becomes sculptural and expressive.
Bola Sphere proves that simple geometry can have significant impact.
Designed for Flexible, Modern Workplaces
What makes the Bola Collection particularly compelling is how these three fixtures can work together. Designers can mix Felt, Disc, and Sphere within a single project to create layered lighting strategies—balancing acoustic support, architectural statement, and ambient warmth.
In today’s workplaces, lighting needs to:
- Support visual comfort
- Complement flexible floorplans
- Enhance brand identity
- Contribute to overall employee experience
The Bola Collection checks all those boxes while elevating the aesthetic of the space.
Lighting That Does More Than Illuminate
In commercial environments, every design choice communicates something about culture and intention. Lighting is no exception.
With Bola Felt, Bola Disc, and Bola Sphere, organizations don’t have to choose between performance and beauty. They can have both.
Whether you’re refreshing a single conference room or designing an entire workplace, sculptural lighting from Haworth can transform the environment—quietly shaping how people focus, gather, and experience their day.
Because great spaces aren’t just seen.
They’re felt.
