Pao Portable Lamp-Cream white

 

An exciting collaboration with Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa, the Pao Portable Lamp is named after the soft, glowing shape of traditional Mongolian Pao tents. By keeping the aesthetics modest and simple Fukasawa creates a beautiful everyday object that is in harmony with its environment. Pao’s base and shade are constructed from a resistant polycarbonate, with a smooth, high gloss finish, with the light source concealed inside the shade. Providing a diffused downlight, with a warm, homely glow, the compact, battery-operated lamp can easily be moved around the house or taken into the garden and other outside spaces. The lamp is available in different colour options.
