A minimalist statement in form and proportion. Tube Top combines a transparent
formed acrylic base to support its elegant mesh fabric shade in tension, steering
away from conventional modes of construction. Its lightweight shade appears to
float freely, gently tethered by its fabric cord. Its remarkable illumination is controlled
by a full range dimmer to create any desired ambiance.
The Tube Top Story
Tube Top comfortably abstracts the classic, domestic lamp silhouette to suit any style
of interior. As designer Peter Stathis remarks, “Pablo is well known for their rigorously
minimal products, and my goal was to augment that range by introducing a new light that
applies a modern sensibility to a traditional lamp type.” Playing with that traditional
form, Tube Top combines a transparent, sculpted acrylic base to support its lightweight
mesh shade in tension, allowing the shade to appear to float freely. Tube Top is available in
multiple table, floor and pendant models.

The Pablo Philosophy
The interpretation of light in its many forms, refined design solutions,
and a distinctive timeless style; these are the underlying elements of Pablo's design mission.
Pablo believes that the right light can transform any environment and is committed to creating
lasting solutions that provide a lifetime of illumination.
Pablo’s designs have been propelled to the forefront of American contemporary lighting by an
uncompromising devotion to simplicity and utility. By fusing the highest technical sensibilities
with the most appropriate material palette, Pablo is able to create unique, timeless designs with
the power to transform any environment. Pablo was founded in San Francisco in 1993 by Venezuelan-born
industrial designer Pablo Pardo. Embracing a less-is-more ideology, Pablo frequently challenges
traditional design metaphors, developing more practical solutions distilled down to their essence,
form and light. A common thread links all of its creations, valuing permanence and sustainability,
the disposable mindset so prevalent today. Its mission is to create designs that deepen the
relationship between objects, their users, and their environments.
Over 25 Years of Design
With the creation of his first product in 1993, Pablo established a
powerful and generative design philosophy. Since then, his core
principles have informed the development of every light in the studio’s
25-year history. These products continue to move with culture while
withstanding trends in design — and each one carries the underlying
uniqueness that is distinctly “Pablo.”
