Pao Portable Lamp is designed by Naoto Fukasawa for HAY — a rechargeable portable lamp whose name and form reflect Fukasawa's characteristic approach to design as a discipline rooted in how people use objects naturally and without conscious thought. Fukasawa's instinctive design philosophy — developing objects that fit seamlessly into the routines and rhythms of everyday life — is evident in the Pao's clean, self-contained form and its cordless operational convenience. The lamp is designed to be picked up, moved, and placed without thought, functioning as a natural extension of how people actually inhabit and arrange light in their spaces.

The rechargeable battery provides sustained cordless use, and the Pao's compact, resolved form makes it appropriate across a wide range of placement scenarios — dining table centrepiece, bedside reading lamp, terrace ambient light, or bookshelf accent object. Fukasawa's formal precision ensures the lamp reads as considered and visually complete from every angle, and its diffused warm light output is suited to the intimate residential and hospitality settings where a portable lamp is most often needed and placed. Fukasawa's international design reputation and his consistent collaboration with HAY make the Pao a specification of genuine design provenance. Available in HAY's colour range.

The Pao Portable Lamp is well suited to residential living rooms, dining tables, bedside settings, and outdoor terraces where a cordless, rechargeable lamp of refined Japanese design sensibility and formal quality is required. Its portability and clean form also make it an effective specification for hospitality table and ambient settings, and any environment where a design-quality portable lamp that can be positioned and repositioned freely without a power connection is both a practical and aesthetic priority in the overall lighting approach.

Available as a 2D DWG drawing and 3D model.
