Hand-bonded paper pendant that plugs into wall outlets—arrange multiple fixtures in custom patterns using included hooks and cables.
A plug-in pendant light with a spherical mulberry-paper shade (30–55cm diameter) that diffuses warm, even light across dining areas, kitchens, and living rooms. The cables are intentional design elements; two included hooks let you string multiple fixtures at different heights and angles. Check ceiling height and available wall outlets before ordering—this ships with 450cm of cord and standard household plugs.
Each shade is glued by hand. Minor glue traces along edges are normal. Finished in white.
Two hooks included per fixture. String multiple lights to create grids, cascades, or geometric layouts.
Works with standard household switches and dimmers. Choose US, UK, EU, or AU plug. No hardwiring required.
Can I hang this without an electrician?
Yes. Plug into any outlet and use the two included hooks to anchor it to ceiling or walls. No wiring needed.
What bulb do I need?
Any E26 or E27 standard screw bulb—LED, incandescent, or CFL. Bulb is not included. Works with dimmers.
Can I connect multiple lights together?
Yes. Each fixture has two hooks. String them at different heights using the 450cm cord to create grids, cascades, or geometric patterns. Each needs its own outlet or power strip.
Will I see glue on the shade?
Possibly. Each shade is hand-bonded with paper and glue. Minor glue traces on the edge are normal and do not affect performance or appearance in use.
Weightless illumination crafted from natural mulberry fibers. A quiet presence that softens the everyday.

- 01
Harvesting the Fibre
Raw mulberry (kozo) bark is meticulously washed and refined, stripping away the harshness to reveal pure, resilient strands.
- 02
Sculpting the Paper
Suspended in pure water, the fibers are gently gathered using a traditional bamboo screen, forming a flawless, delicate veil.
- 03
Natural Curing
Resting on wooden boards, the sheets air-dry naturally, locking in the inherent warmth and strength of the washi.
- 04
Shaping the Silhouette
A slender bamboo armature is bent into shape, providing the quiet, weightless skeleton onto which the paper is seamlessly wrapped.
- 05
The Final Glow
Carefully wired and inspected by the maker’s eye, ensuring the light diffuses with perfect serenity before it reaches your home.
Light that floats
Filtered through fine handmade washi, direct light is gently softened into a warm, diffused glow. Weightless and calm, each lantern seems to breathe quietly in the air, bringing a serene, restorative presence to the room.
- Soft diffusion for a comfortable, glare-free glow
- Restorative warm light that wraps the room in comfort
- Versatile enough to serve as ambient or accent lighting
In the Texture, a World of Its Own
Held to the light, the character of the material comes alive. Slender mulberry fibres weave freely through every inch of washi, supple bamboo ribs trace the lantern's full silhouette, and warm-toned hardware finishes each joint with a gentle touch.
These are the details worth leaning in for: the soft grain left by hand-made paper, the seamless lines where panels meet, and the quiet, enduring weight of a fixture made to last. Beauty rests in the smallest things.
Shaped by Hand, Woven with Time
Every shade is hand-shaped by skilled artisans, with time and full attention worked into each one. In an age that prizes efficiency, it is the mark of the hand that matters here — so no two lanterns share exactly the same texture, fold, or quality of light. More than a source of light, each is a piece of art that still carries the warmth of the hands that made it.
One Light, Seven Forms
One lamp, and the room is given space to breathe.
A quiet end to a loud day.
