Rice Paper Table Lamp, Japanese Akari Style Bedside Light

A paper moon for your bedside. The washi rice paper shade spreads light soft and even, with none of the hard glare a bare bulb throws, so late evenings feel calmer and early mornings start gentler.

Why you'll love it

• Handmade washi rice paper shade, pleated in fine horizontal ribs for a warm, diffused glow
• Three selectable light tones, from candlelit warm through to a clear working white
• Classic Noguchi style Akari silhouette resting on a slim black wire tripod
• Glare free light that suits bedrooms, reading nooks, studies and entryways
• Choose your plug type at checkout: US, UK, EU or AU

Size and placement

Approximately 28 cm (11 in) across the shade and 47 cm (18.5 in) tall. That footprint sits comfortably on a nightstand, console or low shelf without crowding it. Leave a little clearance around the shade so the paper reads as a full glowing sphere rather than a half-lit one.

Materials

Handmade washi rice paper shade over a wire frame, with a slim black metal tripod base. Because each shade is folded by hand, small variations in the pleating are normal and part of the character.

Care

Dust the paper gently with a dry, soft brush or a hairdryer on a cool, low setting. Avoid water, damp cloths and cleaning sprays on the shade. Wipe the metal base with a dry cloth.

Styling it

Pair it with warm wood, linen and a few quiet ceramics for a japandi look, or let it stand alone as the single soft light source in an otherwise minimal room.

Shipping and returns

Ships fast with tracking, and easy 30 day returns if it is not right for your space.
