Pao Portable Lamp by Hay is a freestanding lamp inspired by the atmospheric glow of the dome shaped Mongolian Pao tents at night. 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 a 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 garden and other outside spaces.
