Pixo by Pablo


The Pixo Story

Although it embodies an emotive, humanistic form, Pixo, at it’s conceptual core, is an ultra-efficient task light. Functionality and necessity drive this modern LED light. It makes the most of its frame and its space through every feature: Pixo’s swiveling light shade and highly maneuverable arm lend it maximum utility within a minimal footprint. Its compact, energy-saving LED light is infinitely adjustable, allowing the user to focus
warm, glare-free light wherever needed. The base integrates a USB port for charging mobile devices. Even more, the upper and lower pieces ship detached from one another to reduce packing materials and shipping costs. Pixo is 97% recyclable. 




Intelligent and Compact
Highly flexible with a minimal footprint, The Pixo modern light is not only the
brightest, most efficient task light in its category, it also
charges your mobile devices with a conveniently located
USB port.



Smooth Touch
Available in a wide range of neutrals and
expressive colors. Smooth, soft materials
invite touch.



900 Degrees of Movement
Surprisingly nimble, its lamp head combines switch with 360°
head and stem rotation allowing for up, side and down light
focus. Precision-designed joints provide for fluid movement
throughout their full range of motion.




Functionality and necessity drive Pixo’s design.

Elemental Living - The Ultimate in American Made Modern Furiture

head-vision-elemental.png
Elemental Living defines elemental as the harmonious integration of simplicity and nature. We build modern furniture using honest forms and materials to create clarity in your home. Our furnishings combine high style and function made available to all consumers. Our democratic design approach means we craft furniture that is accessible to everyone. Our goal is to create furnishings that have a value beyond their price because they aren’t just functional and attractive; they are essential elements to modern life.

To create modern furniture that is timeless and lasting Elemental Living use the finest woods, metals, and textiles. The materials we select must be considered not only for their individual aesthetic qualities, but also for their durability. These carefully chosen materials provide identity and strength to each piece of furniture we build. We only use these simple materials in the creation of our furniture because furniture is not technologically centric. Human proportion and ergonomics are some of the only facets of life that are not changing as fast as technology develops. Our simple material palette allows us to create furniture that transcends time.

Style and function must coexist in order for a piece of furniture to be truly beautiful. Every shape, angle, and dimension we design is a balance of aesthetics and human interaction. These are the essential elements that drive the form of every design. Our furniture is designed to honestly apply materials where their functional properties are not stretched beyond capability. Each piece of furniture expresses this through simple forms and lines. Our designs bring legibility to the construction of the object. By combining an organized way of thinking with artistic gestures we create furniture that balances aesthetics and ergonomics.

Quality begins with the materials you use and how they are assembled. Elemental Living uses the finest woods and textiles to create our American Made modern furniture. Our designs create a natural strength and durability where the materials are placed and used in a manner that takes advantage of their inherent properties. However, our quality goes beyond the materials. Our furniture is designed for life. We challenge the perceptions of our throwaway society to change the way people think when making purchases. Design and quality create intrinsic lasting value.

A limited material palette and honest form making allow us to create furniture that expresses clean and functional design. Clearly articulated structure along with the tactile quality of wood, metal and textiles brings a psychological level of comfort and balance. Our straightforward legible designs help create spaces that provide a refuge from an often chaotic world.

The Best Designer Furniture for Home and Office

There are so many different designs, materials and colors that can be used for beautiful designer furniture that when it comes time to go shopping, it might be really hard to pick out the best pieces for your home. However, there are some things you can do to ensure that the designer furniture that you end up with suits you, your family and your home perfectly.
Some of the most popular materials that are used for furnishing of all kinds that are found in all rooms of a home include wood, brass, silver, plastic, aluminum, fabrics, steel and wrought iron. Depending on the quality of those materials that are used, the furnishings can last years or even decades with proper care. As time has passed, the trends and styles for furnishings have changed according to peoples’ tastes. Much of the contemporary styled pieces are made of chrome and plastic today, which are both very durable and very sturdy materials. Eero Aarnio is a Finnish designer who uses a lot of plastic and fiberglass as his main materials for his masterpieces. Some of his works include the tomato chair, screw chair, the Bubble chair and the Pastil chair. He has also used steel, wood and other materials for his pieces as well.
Charles and Ray Eames are American designers who made several contributions in the evolution of modern designer furniture design but also in the fields of art, film, industrial design and architecture. The lounge chair has actually been credited to them. Mies van Rohe is a well-known architect who designed the now famous Barcelona chair. Eileen Gray is a furniture designer who began her career by learning lacquer work which eventually branched out into architecture. She is well-known for her innovative ideas, and one of her signature designer furniture pieces is the bibendum chair. Saarinen designer furniture is customarily designed specifically per the customers’ requests.
Finally, Harry Bertoia is a famous designer nown for his work with metal and his jewelry designs. The diamond chair is his famous work. Modern designer furniture comes in all kinds of shapes, sizes and styles from professionals around the world, and there are pieces designed every day for every room in the house; for the livingroom, dining room, office, patio, and bedrooms. Office pieces and everything else should be carefully considered when shopping for the best furnishings for the home, whether it is a tiny basket or a grand dining room set. Whether your personal style is modern, classic, elegant, stylish or any combination of styles, the designer furniture that you choose needs to not only suit you but should also suit your home as well.

This is truly "Twisted"

When you find that everything around you is just a little bit too structured, then perhaps it's time to throw life a curve ball. Twisted by Dylan Gold is a console table, a wall mounted display cabinet, a vertical bookshelf - or all three. Four in-line boxes frame the twisted one, creating a subtle focal point. The box in question is offset on 3 different axes, perfectly intersecting the adjacent cubes, defying convention. Specifically designed to add just enough chaos to your all-too-regimented world. Be sure to check out the other hot designs by Dyan Gold.
