Ola
In designing Ola, I set out to design a portable light with an artisanal expression. Ola is the opposite of mass-production. Instead, each light is thoughtfully handmade in limited numbers in my Brooklyn studio.
For the Ola: Birch and Walnut series, Ola's base is laminated with real birch and walnut veneers. For the Ola: Triple Espresso series, I incorporated espresso grounds into the base; each layer having a different concentration of grounds giving it a different colour and texture.
The cast resin shades are hand polished to a matte finish making for a soft feel to the touch. Unlike mass-produced luminaires that use hollow plastic shells, Ola's solid diffuser gives it a noticeable weight and emits a warm candle-like glow.
Ola's dimming feature is analog in nature - simply rotate the shade to your desired effect. Ola is cordless and can be charged via a wireless charger (included*).
*Ola's wireless charger includes a USB-C charger cord and outlet power adapter.
Price(s): starting at $200
