Pablo Designs was another booth that impressed us in person. Pablo Parda's chic and space-age lighting fixtures all involve movement, flexibility and elegance that drew us in.

The new LED desk lamp is a beautiful piece of minimalism.

This orb looked odd at first, but once we played with it - rotating it and turning its direct and ambient light, we thought they would be showstoppers in a living room.

Meanwhile, at Design House Stockholm we got to meet Anders Fardig, the president of DHS, and tried to convince him to open a retail store in NYC. This is beautiful Scandinavian design with a great deal of freshness and ingenuity.

There were new low tables that easily fold up.

Pillows that rock retro and look like Jonathan Adler copied them.

Maxwell--
Love the lines of that Pablo LED desk lamp, but what is the color temperature of the light it puts out?

I've found some low-end LED lighting to have a really weird blue cast... sort of like BMW high-beams (but not quite that bright!)

I'm getting a little over the whole "Jonathan Adler as plagiarist" thing, though...
