The Pao Lamp Collection by HAY
Discover the HAY Pao Lamp collection, a series of contemporary, minimalist lamps created in collaboration with renowned Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa. Named after the glowing Mongolian Pao tents that inspired their form, Pao Lamps capture the same warm, atmospheric glow in a clean, modern design. Available as pendant, table, floor, and portable versions in high-gloss steel or opal glass, each lamp reflects Fukasawa’s signature aesthetic of simple beauty and functional elegance.
Modern Lighting with Warm, Timeless Appeal
The Pao collection combines advanced lighting technology with refined craftsmanship. Each Pao Lamp features an integrated LED light source offering up to 25,000 hours of use and a soft, diffused light that creates a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you choose the Pao Glass Pendant 350, Pao Steel Pendant 470, or the Pao Glass Floor Lamp, every piece balances functionality with harmony, making it ideal for both private and professional environments.
Designed by Naoto Fukasawa
Designed by Naoto Fukasawa, one of Japan’s most respected industrial designers, the Pao collection embodies his philosophy of “design that harmonizes with its surroundings.” Known for his collaborations with global brands such as MUJI and Maruni, Fukasawa brings his minimalist approach to HAY’s lighting range, focusing on form, material, and light quality. The result is a series of lamps that feel intuitive, calm, and beautifully understated – perfect for modern interiors.
Versatile Designs for Every Space
From the Pao Portable Lamp, which can move effortlessly between rooms or even outdoors, to the elegant Pao Glass Table Lamp and Pao Steel Floor Lamp, the collection offers flexibility for any space. The Pao Steel Pendants provide ambient overhead lighting ideal for dining areas, while the glass versions create a softer, diffused glow suited to bedrooms or lounges. All lamps are available in various sizes and colors, allowing you to mix and match to fit your personal style.
