Discount Pao Steel floor lamp, cool grey

HAY’s Pao Steel floor lamp is a minimalist light fixture conceived by Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa. Resembling a tent, the Pao lamp is named after Mongolian yurts, which in Japanese are called pao. When designing the pendant lamp, Fukawasa thought of the yurts specifically at night, when they glow in the middle of the darkness, illuminated and inviting. He wanted the Pao lamp to bring a similar warm glow and a pleasant atmosphere to wherever it is suspended.

The Pao Steel, as its name implies, is made of painted steel. Its clean-lined look is completed by an acrylic diffuser, which keeps the light source hidden from view and the shape of the luminaire visually clean. The Pao floor lamp illuminates without glare and is therefore ideal as a reading or target light in the home or office.
