Shaped from Real Handmade Paper
Every shade is one of a kind
This mulberry paper lantern pendant light is hand-shaped from natural mulberry paper (washi) — a handmade paper prized for centuries for its strength, warmth, and translucency. Each sheet carries its own delicate fibers and subtle texture, so no two shades are ever exactly alike. Stretched over a slender ribbed frame, it becomes a handcrafted paper pendant with a soft, organic character that machine-made plastic or printed film simply cannot imitate.
A Light That Softens the Room
Warm, even, glare-free
What makes handmade paper so captivating is the way it glows. As light passes through the natural fibers, it scatters into a soft, warm, glare-free wash that hides the bulb completely. In an instant a dining room, bedroom, or reading corner settles into a calm, inviting atmosphere — the serene, ambient quality of a washi paper lamp that designers turn to for Japandi and wabi-sabi interiors.
Sculpture That Floats
Airy, lightweight, architectural
The ribbed lantern silhouette reads as a piece of floating paper sculpture — a quiet, architectural focal point that fills a space without visual heaviness. Available in multiple sizes, this sculptural paper lantern scales from an intimate bedside accent to a bold statement over a dining table or stairwell, bringing an airy, gallery-like calm to modern, minimalist, and Scandinavian rooms.
The Calm of Natural Materials
Organic warmth, timeless character
There's a reason natural, handmade materials never go out of style: they bring a warmth and honesty that synthetics can't fake. Unlike a plastic or PVC shade that looks flat and lifeless, natural mulberry paper carries genuine depth, texture, and a soft glow that feels alive. This Japanese-style paper lantern light brings the grounding, organic calm of natural fiber into your home — a timeless piece that quietly elevates the whole room.

| Character | A natural material that never looks cheap; ages with gentle, honest character | Can yellow, warp, or release odor when heated by the bulb |
| Uniqueness | Each shade's fibers and texture are genuinely one of a kind | Mass-produced from molds—every unit looks identical |

Find Your Perfect Paper Globe
Larger paper globes make a stronger visual statement and usually work best in rooms with higher ceilings. Use your room height and furniture scale as a guide — then choose the size you love most. Each shade is hand-shaped from natural mulberry paper (washi) for a soft, warm, glare-free glow.
Keep at least 16 in of exposed cord above the shade for a balanced look.
When estimating hang length, add about half the shade height to the visible cord length.
Some wire length is lost during install, so leave a little extra slack.
Six sizes, to scale — against a ceiling-height reference
The number is the globe diameter (cm). Dashed lines mark ceiling height; larger globes need taller ceilings.
Real-world scale — a 5'7" person & a dining table
See how the globe sits above a table, with a person for scale.
For dining tables
Hang the globe about 28–30″ above the tabletop, and keep the shade narrower than the table's smallest width.
For round tables
A globe around half the table diameter often feels balanced — e.g. a 20″ fixture over a 39″ table. In lower-ceiling rooms, choose size by ceiling height first.

Every Size, and Where It Shines
Eleven diameters, from an intimate accent to a bold statement. Use this as a quick guide to match each paper globe to the right room.
| Size (Diameter) | Best Suited For | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| 30 cm∅ 11.8″ | Bedside, small nook, powder room | Petite accent — soft, intimate glow in tight spaces |
| 40 cm∅ 15.7″ | Entryway, hallway, reading corner | Gentle scale for compact or transitional spaces |
| 50 cm∅ 19.7″ | Bedroom, home office, breakfast nook | Versatile mid-small size for everyday rooms |
| 55 cm∅ 21.7″ | Bedroom, kitchen island, small dining | Balanced presence without overwhelming the room |
| 60 cm∅ 23.6″ | Dining table, kitchen island, living room | The popular all-rounder — a confident centerpiece |
| 70 cm∅ 27.5″ | Dining room, living room, open-plan space | Statement scale for rooms with standard-to-high ceilings |
| 75 cm∅ 29.5″ | Large dining, living room, foyer | Bold focal point; best with a min. ceiling around 73″ |
| 80 cm∅ 31.5″ | Open-plan living, high-ceiling dining | Dramatic sculpture; suits taller, open rooms |
| 90 cm∅ 35.4″ | Stairwell, double-height foyer, atrium | Grand scale for tall vertical spaces |
| 100 cm∅ 39.4″ | Two-story foyer, stairwell, large lobby | Show-stopping; best with a min. ceiling around 87″ |
| 120 cm∅ 47.2″ | Grand foyer, atrium, hospitality space | Maximum impact; best with a min. ceiling around 110″ |
As a rule of thumb: the larger the globe, the taller the ceiling it needs. When in doubt, choose by ceiling height first, then by the look you love.
