Hand-bonded paper pendant in six sizes, 30–100cm; soft ambient light for any room.
A spherical pendant lamp with a lightweight mulberry paper shade stretched over a metal frame. The fixture diffuses warm, even light across your space without glare. Works in living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas, and kitchens—just confirm your ceiling can support hardwired installation before ordering.
Hand-bonded paper and metal frame. Minor glue traces along seams are normal and do not affect function or durability.
Range from 30cm (11.8″) to 100cm (39.4″) in both diameter and height. Larger fixtures suit open layouts; compact sizes fit tight spaces.
Requires ceiling junction box. Includes 150cm cables; custom lengths available upon request. Works with standard household switches and dimmers.
Is this a plug-in pendant light or hardwired?
Hardwired only. Requires connection to your ceiling junction box during installation. Not suitable for renters without landlord approval.
Can I use this as pendant lighting over my kitchen island?
Yes—use the 40cm, 50cm, or 60cm size depending on island length. Mount it 24–30 inches above the countertop. Confirm your ceiling has an electrical box beforehand.
What happens to the glue marks I see inside the shade?
Hand-bonding leaves minor glue traces along seams. This is normal, does not affect light output, and does not worsen over time.
Will this work with a dimmer switch?
Yes. Use a dimmer-compatible LED or incandescent bulb. Test the bulb brand with your dimmer first—some LEDs flicker on certain dimmers.
Weightless illumination crafted from natural mulberry fibers. A quiet presence that softens the everyday.

Glare-Free Glow
A perfectly even, warm light that rests and soothes the eyes.
Authentic Washi
Hand-stretched paper showcasing natural, unrepeatable details.
Weightless Design
A delicate frame creates an airy, understated presence.
Timeless Appeal
Blends naturally into modern, minimal, or classic interiors.
Shaped by Time, Finished by Hand
A quiet dedication to traditional techniques. Each lantern is born from natural materials and shaped by artisans who treat light as a living medium.
- 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.
