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

Product Info

Washi paper, bamboo, steel

Material

Ø 28 × 47 cm · two shade finishes

Sizes

Overview

Light it at dusk and the room drops a gear. The paper throws a warm, honeyed wash up the nearest wall, the corners go soft, and the evening is unmistakably underway. It weighs almost nothing, so it drifts with you through the night — nightstand, low shelf, the floor beside the sofa.

Care

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

Materials

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

Shoji Paper Table Lamp lit at dusk on a travertine console beside a clay vase and books

Paper between you and the bulb

Bright to read by, soft to sleep by

Held at arm's length it throws enough light to read a chapter; across the room it is dim enough to leave burning while someone else sleeps. Paper spreads the light wide instead of aiming it, so nobody gets a beam in the face.

Cream washi, three black steel legs

You can see the hands that made it

Look closely and the long fibres run right through the paper, with the bamboo ribs faintly showing beneath. It is stretched by hand, not printed — the reason a shade like this ages into something rather than yellowing like plastic.

Shoji Paper Table Lamp with labels for handmade washi paper, warm 2700K glow and slim steel tripod

Bedside, console, floor beside the sofa

Plain, or brushed by hand

Choose undecorated cream washi for the quietest version, or the sumi finish, where hand-painted charcoal brushstrokes sit almost invisible by day and bloom into soft shadows the moment 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

Is the paper fragile?
Washi is tougher than it looks — it's a long-fibre paper stretched over bamboo ribs. Lift it by the wire loop on top rather than pressing the sides and it will last for years.
How bright is it?
Bright enough to read by at arm's length, soft enough to leave on while someone else sleeps. The paper spreads the light across the room instead of pointing it at you.
What bulb does it take?
A standard E26/E27 screw socket. A 3-tone warm LED bulb is included; any warm-white LED will work as a replacement.
How big is it really?
28 cm across and 47 cm tall including the tripod — about the height of a wine bottle and a half. Sized for a nightstand, console or low shelf.
Which shade should I choose?
Plain Washi is undecorated cream paper — the quietest option. Sumi Brushstroke carries hand-painted charcoal brush marks that read as soft shadows once the lamp is lit.
Does it get hot?
No. With the included warm LED the paper stays cool to the touch. Never fit a halogen or high-wattage incandescent bulb in a paper shade.

Came torn. I would give zero if I could, I bought a long one and a “snowman” shaped one both for 28$ EACH! Both of them came torn, while I understand paper is sensitive it is insane that for 53$ I got two damaged lamps ) !Came torn!Came torn ! !Came torn !Came torn ! ! !

Great for mood lighting and hiding my security base station. Color: WhiteSize: 9.5"x9.5" Got two for my kitchen counter and to help hide my SimpliSafe home security system. They are perfect! If you remove the light bulb bar from the inside structure you can fit the base station for simplisafe security system without obstructing the speaker and rest the light on the side. I paired with some GE candelabra lightbulbs to match the other lights in my place and they work perfect. If you use the leds that it comes with then know they have three different light settings and don't come with a remote. You have to switch the light on and off a few times to get the setting you want. ) !Great for mood lighting and hiding my security base station!Great for mood lighting and hiding my security base station!Great for mood lighting and hiding my security base station!Great for mood lighting and hiding my security base station!Great for mood lighting and hiding my security base station ! !Great for mood lighting and hiding my security base station !Great for mood lighting and hiding my security base station !Great for mood lighting and hiding my security base station !Great for mood lighting and hid

Quality issues straight from the box. The lamp comes with a lightbulb that’s a European standard not us so it’s hard to get a replacement. The light bulb included is way too bright for the lamp and not warm enough. On top of everything the bulb bends to one side so one side is brighter then the other. Pretty low quality and the look is just ok. Adds decent ambiance but definitely not worth the money in my opinion, I would find something else. )

Works great. Color: WhiteSize: 7.8"x13" I used it on the floor for my meditation space. Works just great. It does come with its own bulb but its kind of bright. Lamp does switch to 3 different temperatures. However I chose to forgo that in favor of a dimmer amber bulb and it works perfect now. )
