The Pixo Lamp is both elegant in simplicity and compactly scaled and was created by Pablo and Fernando Pable, twin brothers in design. With a head that rotates 360 degrees and a three-axis articulating stem that titles 180 degrees to shed light upon anywhere it’s needed, Pixo was designed to be a personal light. By using just five watts, Pixo is able to provide a warm, bright light while its innovative low-energy LED’s have a 50,000-hour life span. Last, but not least, the Pardo twins have chosen to include a USB port in the base for charging mobile devices. How kind of them. Made in China.
