Product series Pablo Designs: Clamp

Unobtrusive beauty and uncompromising utility are key to Pablo's design philosophy," says designer Dana Cannam of his inspiration for Clamp. "The opportunity to extend that sensibility to a material as essential as wood was a natural transition." Clamp continues Pablo's tradition of offering simple, effective pieces by combining two basic elements - wood and light - in a seemingly opposing couple of natural and technological. Although warm, North American hardwood makes up its frame, the most durable and energy-efficient LED technology includes its light source. Designed for versatility and portability, the Clamp, freestanding, floor and mini models all feature a minimal number of parts that allow for infinite adjustment of its warm, diffused light.
