01Overview
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.

03Materials & Craft
Hand-bonded cotton paper
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.
Plug-in or hardwired setup
Ships hardwired with standard household switch compatibility. Works with dimmers. Accepts E26 or E27 base bulbs (sold separately).
Six sizes plus stacked pairs
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.

08Questions
What size should I choose for my kitchen island or dining table?
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.
Do I need an electrician to install this pendant light?
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.
Can I use this as a plug-in pendant light without rewiring?
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.
Will the hand-bonded seams affect the light quality or durability?
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.

Why Rice Paper
Why the Rice Paper series feels different
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.
The Craft of Light
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.
The Light
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 Detail
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.
1 / 5
Handcrafted, One by One
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.
The Forms
One Light, Seven Forms
One lamp, and the room is given space to breathe.
A quiet end to a loud day.
