At A Glance: Tube Top is a minimalistic dream of a lamp, with a formed acrylic base that goes all the way to the top of the mesh shade - which is held in tension by the lamp's form. Well-suited for any modern interior, the Tube Top Floor Lamp features a fabric cord and memorable design.
What's To Like: Like sculpture, this lamp uses form to communicate meaning - in this case, "less is more." We love the lamp's appearance of substance in spite of its minimal material.
What's Not To Like: At first glance, the price seems steep - but when you remember the statement this lamp makes and its sculptural quality, it makes more sense. Pablo Designs knows they've created a quality floor lamp, and they've priced Tube Top accordingly.
The Bottom Line: Despite its price tag, the Tube Top Classic Floor Lamp is a smart choice as an ambient or reading light, due to its minimal, artistic design. With dimmer control and enough brightness to light up an area of your living room, it will provide exactly the light you need.
