Pablo lighting has that easy, modern calm, clean lines, intuitive function, and a glow that moves from task to ambience without asking for attention. If you love that balance, a few other studios can widen the palette without competing. Research.Lighting: Sculptural and grounded, with clear proportion that anchors a room. Think definition overhead, while Pablo handles the softer, adaptable moments nearby. Audo: Quietly architectural and composed. It adds stillness and structure beside Pablo’s flexibility, especially in living spaces. Artek: Warm Scandinavian ease with natural materials and soft geometry, rounding out Pablo’s modern clarity with everyday comfort. DCW Éditions: Atmospheric and softly dramatic, bringing depth and presence while Pablo keeps things functional and calm. Layered with intention, the mix feels natural and quietly contemporary.

Foscarini has a way of shifting the mood in a room without taking it over. And the best part is how often designers treat it as a strong voice in a larger chorus, layering it with other modern studios to build depth and rhythm.

Research.Lighting: Quiet modern pieces that read like functional sculpture. Clean forms and an easy glow make a natural counterpoint when a Foscarini fixture brings the extra energy.

Davide Groppi: Feather-light, poetic lighting that feels like it drifted into place. Perfect for that barely-there glow beside Foscarini’s sculptural presence.

Pablo: Warm, friendly silhouettes and excellent diffusion. An easy layer for bedrooms and offices while Foscarini handles the visual storytelling.

Oluce: Crisp, steady confidence with a decades-in-the-making feel. A calm outline that pairs well when Foscarini fills in the mood.

Mixing brands is not a competition. It’s how you build a room that feels relaxed, modern, and a little more alive. Source: Foscarini Alternatives for Layering Sculptural Light

Vibia’s calm, architectural clarity plays well with other modern studios that add softness, texture, and glow. The goal is not to swap one for another, but to let different voices share the room and make it feel richer. Research.Lighting: Clean, sculptural forms with warm radiance and quiet confidence. In a mixed plan, our pieces can soften the space while Vibia’s geometry defines it. Artemide: Gentle diffusion and subtle tech that builds atmosphere. Ideal when you want mood and warmth without visual noise. Hay: Relaxed Danish brightness with friendly shapes that feel at home in hallways, bedrooms, and everyday spaces. Pablo: Calm geometry and intimate light for desks and corners, pairing naturally with Vibia’s crisp structure. Layer them thoughtfully and the room lands settled, expressive, and comfortably modern.

Muuto: Friendly warmth and rounded diffusion. A gentle way to soften Audo’s measured lines and make corners feel more inviting.

Fritz Hansen: Refined simplicity with timeless curves. Adds a subtle shift in texture and temperature while keeping the overall rhythm crisp.
