Overview

There's a reason the paper lantern has survived every lighting trend of the last century: nothing else makes light this gentle. Washi™ is that idea in its purest form — an egg of ribbed rice paper, 47 cm tall, resting on three slender black wire legs. The paper does the work a dimmer never quite manages: it takes a bare bulb and turns it into a soft, even moon of light with no hotspot and no glare, warm enough to end the day under. Off, it stands like a small sculpture; on, it's the calmest object in the room.

Care

Dust the paper with a feather duster or the soft brush of a vacuum on low — never a wet cloth. Keep away from open flames and direct splashes. Unplug before changing the bulb.

Materials

A ribbed white rice-paper shade over a fine wire frame, standing on three slim black steel legs.

Hand reaching to switch on the Washi™ Paper Lantern Lamp at night

A moon for the nightstand

Beside oak and oatmeal linen, Washi™ glows like a paper moon — the one light in the house you never want to switch off.

Reach, press, unwind

The cord switch sits within arm's reach of the pillow. One press trades the big lights for a lantern's glow — the signal your evening has started.

Why Washi

Ribbed rice paper diffuses a bare bulb into an even, glare-free moon of light — a mechanism a century of lighting design hasn't improved on.

The softest light in our house

We have dimmers everywhere and this beats all of them. The paper turns a plain warm bulb into something that looks like moonrise on the nightstand.

Looks expensive, weighs nothing

Guests assume it's the designer version. I carry it from the bedroom to the living room by two fingers when we have people over.

Survived a toddler

It got knocked off the side table twice — the paper flexed, the legs bounced, nothing tore. It's tougher than it has any right to be.

Frequently asked questions

Is the bulb included?
No — the socket is standard E27, so any bulb you own fits. A warm 2700 K LED gives the classic lantern glow and keeps the paper cool.
Is rice paper fragile?
It's more forgiving than glass in every way — the ribbed frame lets it flex instead of crack. Treat it like a lampshade, not an ornament, and it lasts years.
How does it switch on?
It plugs into the wall with a switch on the cord — easy to reach from bed or the sofa.
How big is it?
The paper egg is 28 cm across and the lamp stands 47 cm tall on its legs — present in the room without crowding a nightstand.
Can I use it in a kid's room?
Yes — with an LED bulb the paper stays cool and the light is gentle enough for bedtime routines. Keep the cord tucked as you would any lamp.
How does it ship?
The shade ships flat-packed with the frame and legs in a compact box — it opens and assembles in about two minutes, no tools.
