Some bedside lights attack your eyes; this one greets them. Every watt of this paper table lamp passes through real washi rice paper, so the light reaches you as a soft, even glow with no point of glare, and the calm you have built stays intact.

A plump paper egg on three slim matte-black legs, warm 2700K, and light as a lantern. Lit, it is the gentlest thing in the room; unlit, a quiet paper sculpture.

  • Real washi rice paper shade
  • Warm 2700K glow with no glare
  • Three slim matte-black legs
  • Light, lantern-shaped silhouette

Overview

Light it at dusk and the room slows down. The paper sends a warm, honey-coloured wash up the nearest wall, the corners soften and the evening has clearly begun. It weighs almost nothing, so it moves with you through the evening: nightstand, low shelf, or the floor next to the sofa.

Care

Dust the paper with a soft, dry brush or a hairdryer on its lowest cool setting, and never use water or spray cleaners. Wipe the steel with a dry cloth, and lift or store the shade by the wire loop so that the paper keeps its shape.

Materials

Handmade shade of washi rice paper over a fine bamboo rib frame, on a tripod of matte black powder-coated steel. Ø 28 cm × 47 cm tall. E26/E27 socket with a 3-tone warm LED bulb included, and an inline on/off switch.

Paper between the bulb and you

Bright enough to read by and soft enough to sleep by

At arm's length it gives enough light to read a chapter, and from across the room it is dim enough to leave on while someone else sleeps. Paper spreads the light widely and does not aim it, so nobody gets a beam in the face.

The handwork is visible

Look closely and you see long fibres running through the paper, with the bamboo ribs faintly visible beneath. It is stretched by hand and not printed, which is why a shade like this ages well and does not yellow as plastic does.

Bedside, console or the floor next to the sofa

Plain, or painted by hand

Choose plain cream washi for the quietest version, or the sumi finish, where hand-painted charcoal brushstrokes are almost invisible by day and turn into soft shadows as soon as the lamp is lit.

The bedside glare is gone

I used to squint every time I switched the old lamp on. Now the light comes through the paper like early morning through a blind — I read a few pages and just drift off.

It runs the whole evening's mood

We switch everything else off and just leave this glowing. It is the first thing every guest asks about, and it makes the room feel like somewhere you would actually want to slow down.

Replaced my phone at the bedside

That was the whole idea and it worked. I read a few pages under it and leave the phone in another room. It does one thing, and does it beautifully — lighter than I expected, too.

Frequently asked questions

How delicate is the paper?
Washi is tougher than it looks: it is a long-fibre paper stretched over bamboo ribs. Lift it by the wire loop on top and do not press the sides, and it will last for years.
How much light does it give?
Bright enough to read by at arm's length and soft enough to leave on while someone else sleeps. The paper spreads the light around the room and does not point it at you.
Which bulb does it take?
A standard E26/E27 screw socket. A 3-tone warm LED bulb is included, and any warm-white LED works as a replacement.
What is its actual size?
28 cm across and 47 cm tall with the tripod, about the height of a wine bottle and a half. It is sized for a nightstand, a console or a low shelf.
Which shade finish should I pick?
Plain Washi is cream paper with no decoration, the quietest choice. Sumi Brushstroke has hand-painted charcoal brush marks that show as soft shadows once the lamp is lit.
Does the shade get hot?
No. With the warm LED supplied, the paper stays cool to the touch. Never fit a halogen bulb or a high-wattage incandescent bulb in a paper shade.
