The
Pao lamp collection is a collaboration between renowned Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa and the
Hay brand. Inspired by the soft, vivid shape of the traditional Pao tents illuminated at night, Fukasawa decided to incorporate the same atmospheric warmth and inviting feeling into his steel pendant lights.
Pao perfectly represents Fukasawa's aesthetic and work: creating an everyday object that draws inspiration from design values existing in the natural world. By keeping a modest, simple look, the design is in harmony with its environment, reinforcing its original intention of making the atmosphere more pleasant and comfortable. With the latest development in LED light bulb technology, the light source can be concealed inside the shade, diffused through a high-quality acrylic (PMMA) diffuser. The Pao pendant's lampshade is made of steel with a high-gloss finish, available in different sizes and colours. Its functionality and deliberately simple design make it suitable for a wide range of spaces and uses in both home and business environments.
