Pablo Designs Brazo LED Table Lamp – Adjustable Arm, Focus Control, 450 Lumens

A task lamp you can focus like a camera lens: CNC-machined aluminum with a beam you dial from a tight spot to a wide flood.

Brazo is founder Pablo Pardo’s precision task lamp. Its CNC-machined aluminum arm rotates 360°, tilts 90° and adjusts in height, and its head holds 108 high-output LEDs behind Pyrex glass. Turn the calibrated focus control to narrow the beam onto a page or widen it across a desk, then set the brightness with the rotary dimmer. The LED array is designed to avoid the multiple shadows of ordinary LED lamps.

In Silver, Black or White; 97% recyclable; ships flat-packed. Brazo won a Gold IDEA award in 2008 and Gold at Best of NeoCon 2007.

Why we carry it

MetropolitanDecor is an authorized Pablo Designs retailer, curating design-led lighting since 2009.

Being able to focus the beam is rare, and Pablo Pardo’s machined aluminum makes it feel like an instrument. Pablo Designs has made lighting in San Francisco since 1993.

There are no bulbs to replace; the LED array is rated for 50,000 hours, Brazo is 97% recyclable, and it carries a one-year Pablo Designs warranty. Our care advice: unplug before cleaning, dust the aluminum with a soft dry cloth and clean the glass lens with a soft cloth and mild glass cleaner.
