Pao Portable

The Pao collection of lamps is an exciting collaboration with established Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa. Named after the soft, glowing shape of traditional Mongolian Pao tents illuminated at night-time, Fukasawa set out to encapsulate the same atmospheric warmth and friendliness in his Pao lighting series. 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, reinforcing his primary intention of making the atmosphere pleasant and comfortable. Fukasawa uses today’s advanced LED-lighting technology to optimise the efficiency and possibilities of the light source, while ensuring it remains as unobtrusive as possible. The table lamp is made in opal glass, while the pendants are available in opal glass or steel with a high-gloss finish in different sizes and colours. Their functionality and the deliberate simplicity of the design make them suitable for a wide range of spaces and uses in domestic and corporate environments.
