Hang 30–36″ above the table top; the fixture about two-thirds of the table width, centred on the long axis. Add 3″ per foot of ceiling above 8 ft.
Pair with a dimmer · 3,000–6,000 lm for the room
One pendant for every 24–30″ of island, equally spaced and from each end. A 6-ft island takes three small or two medium pendants.
Set of 3 · 450–600 lm each
Add the room's length and width in feet — the sum, read in inches, is the diameter. Keep 7 ft of clearance from the floor to the lowest point.
Single · round up for high ceilings
Hand-bonded paper pendant that plugs into standard household sockets in six single sizes plus three dual configurations.
A spherical paper lantern suspended by a cord—available from intimate 30cm to dramatic 120cm—that diffuses light softly across dining tables, bedside corners, and living spaces. The cotton-paper shade glows warmly when lit, casting even illumination without harsh shadows. Check ceiling height and available wall outlet reach before ordering; comes with 150cm cable, extendable by request.



Each shade is glued by hand using cotton paper over steel-wire ribs. Minor glue traces along seams are normal and expected from this process.
Ships hardwired with standard household switch compatibility. Works with dimmers. Accepts E26 or E27 base bulbs (sold separately).
Single pendants: 30, 45, 55, 75, 100, or 120cm diameter. Stack two sizes—30+45, 45+55, or 55+75—for dramatic multi-level drops.
The 45cm and 55cm work well over standard islands (2–3ft wide). Measure your table width and hang the shade 60–75cm above the surface. Single 30cm fits smaller nooks; 75cm+ suits large open-plan areas.
It arrives hardwired and ready to connect to a standard ceiling socket or junction box. If your ceiling lacks a fixture outlet, hire an electrician. No bulb is included; buy E26 or E27 separately.
This model ships hardwired for permanent installation. It is not a plug-in pendant. Hardwiring provides stable, code-compliant power for residential and commercial use.
No. Visible glue traces along the paper seams are cosmetic only and part of authentic hand-craftsmanship. They do not impact brightness, longevity, or function. The structure is robust for years of daily use.
