Design story
This paper-lantern floor lamp draws on the Japanese tradition of pleated paper lanterns: a single bulb softened through paper into warm, ambient light. The paper shade floats on three slim legs, minimal in line and generous in glow, and anchors a Japandi or Wabi-Sabi room without demanding attention.
Materials & details
The shade is pleated rice paper with brown-toned rims at the top and bottom and a slim wire loop above. It sits on a black metal tripod. An LED bulb in an E27 holder is included, and the cord has an on/off switch. Input is 90–260V, with an EU, UK, AU or US plug chosen at checkout. Some assembly is required on arrival. Small variations in the pleating are part of a paper shade, not flaws.
How to style it
Living rooms
Use the rice paper floor lamp in living rooms as the soft glow next to a low oak credenza or a linen-upholstered reading chair. The Japandi & Wabi-Sabi aesthetic carries the room without demanding attention.
Bedrooms
Use the lamp in bedrooms as a warm corner pool of light beside a platform bed or behind a textured headboard.
Reading nooks
A soft, diffused glow beside a worn leather chair and a stack of art books.
Meditation spaces
Pairs beautifully alongside a tatami mat, raku ceramics, and a hinoki incense holder.
Care & maintenance
Dust the paper shade gently with a soft, dry brush or feather duster. Avoid water and humid rooms. Switch off and let the bulb cool before touching it; if you replace the bulb, use an E27 LED bulb. Wipe the legs with a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately.

Frequently asked questions
What is the shade made of?
Pleated rice paper, which gives the soft, even diffusion paper lanterns are known for. Small variations in the pleating are normal.
Is a bulb included?
Yes. An LED bulb with an E27 (Edison screw) base is included. For replacements, use an E27 LED bulb.
Will the paper change colour?
Paper can take on a warmer tone over time, especially in direct sunlight. Keeping it out of direct sun helps.
Does it ship assembled?
No. It needs some simple assembly on arrival.
What does it stand on?
A slim three-legged black metal stand. Place it where it won't be knocked, especially in homes with children or pets.
Can it be used in a humid bathroom?
No — paper shades and humidity don't mix. Keep it to dry rooms.
