Meet the Designer
Designed by
Peter Stathis
San Francisco designer Peter Stathis is fascinated by how everyday objects shape the way we live. His award-winning designs are held by MoMA, Cooper Hewitt and the Denver Art Museum, and he has been a Pablo collaborator since the original Tube Top in 2006.
The Design Story
Link modernizes the classic pantograph task lamp, the folding scissor arm of drafting rooms, with advanced LED technology. It was designed for Pablo by Peter Stathis, founder of the San Francisco industrial design studio Virtual Studio, who gave it a dual-purpose head: the slim shade is also the handle you use to move the lamp. Pablo Designs, founded by Pablo Pardo in San Francisco in 1993, offers Link in table, clamp and other mounting versions for homes, offices and hotels.
Why You’ll Love It
It gives a small desk big light. The clamp keeps the surface clear for a laptop, papers or a sketchbook, and the scissor arm reaches exactly where you need it.
Made for Real Life
High, low or off from a rocker switch; an 8-foot cord; ships flat-packed. LEDs rated for 50,000 hours.

Questions We Hear Most
Why choose a clamp lamp?
It frees your desk while still reaching over your work.
Is Link Clamp easy to adjust?
Yes, move it by its head, which doubles as a handle.
Can I dim it or change its color temperature?
No. Pablo lists a rocker switch with high, low and off, and a single 3000K warm white.
Who is Link Clamp not for?
Anyone who wants smooth continuous dimming, or a desk edge that cannot take a clamp. It plugs into an outlet on an 8 ft cord.
Is it good for drafting?
It was inspired by drafting-room lamps.
Which finish should I pick?
Silver for a classic look; Black or White for modern desks.
