Venezuelan-born industrial designer Pablo Pardo has defined his career by creating contemporary, sparse, utilitarian lighting that fosters harmonious relationships between people and their environments. In doing so, he has forged a method of design that strives to uncover the essence of an idea while always championing the user experience. Concepts laid bare, his objects speak a universal language. Since establishing Pablo Designs in San Francisco in 1993, Pardo’s studio has gained international recognition for its innovative lighting and home furnishings. Many of Pardo's works have garnered both national and international awards including Best Lighting at NY's International Contemporary Fair ICFF, Best of Competition at Chicago's Neocon Fair, Best of the Year Winner in Interior Design, the Red Dot Award, and the German Design Award among others. He also has works in San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art Permanent Collection.
Born in Venezuela, Fernando Pardo is a prolific designer with over twenty years of experience creating products for the transportation, consumer electronics, office seating, automotive and medical products industries. Although designing for such fields requires sophisticated technical knowledge, it is the instinct to make objects more human that drives his creative sensibility.
