HAY's Pao Portable Lamp was designed by Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa. Pao is named after the soft, glowing shape of traditional Mongolian Pao tents, Pao draws on Fukasawa's aesthetic of beautiful simplicity; creating an everyday object that draws on design values existing in the natural world. By keeping the aesthetics modest and simple, he brings the design into harmony with its environment.
Both the lamp's base and shade are constructed from resistant polycarbonate, with a smooth, high-gloss finish. The lamp's light source is concealed inside the shade, behind an opal polycarbonate diffuser, providing an efficient diffused downlight, with a warm, homely glow.
The compact, battery-operated design enables the lamp to be moved to different rooms around the house, or taken into the gardens, cafes and other outside spaces.
The Pao Portable Lamp is also available as a pendant lamp.
