Potohar Pink Salt lamps and Candle holders

Discover pink salt lamps and candle holders by Tahir Mahmood Design, an exploration of light, material and the story of Pakistan’s pink salt. Illuminated, the salt reveals a warm glow, bringing a distinctive accent to a tabletop, shelf or living space.

Where does “Himalayan” pink salt come from?

The familiar name tells only part of the story. The pink salt behind these designs comes from Pakistan’s Salt Range in Punjab, along the southern edge of the Potohar Plateau, rather than from the Himalayan peaks the name might suggest.

Often marketed as “Himalayan pink salt,” this material deserves recognition for its Pakistani origins. These designs are about more than lighting: they invite a closer look at where pink salt comes from and celebrate the place behind a globally familiar material.
