Rice Paper Table Lamp R23

The 22N follows the paper lantern tradition it comes from: a light you build out of nothing but paper stretched over a frame, then light from inside. The washi is laid over a ribbed structure so the light passes through the sheet rather than off it, and every rib shows as a soft line across the surface. At 24.4 inches tall the shade is wide enough to read as a form in the room, not an object on a table. Paper, a frame, one bulb — that’s the whole thing.

One size, in two colours.

This is the large end of the table-lamp range, so it needs a surface with room — a console, sideboard, wide side table, or a low table beside a sofa. On a narrow nightstand it will dominate; a floor-level plinth or stack of books also works if you want it low in a corner. The paper spreads the light wide and soft, which makes it ambient light for a living room or bedroom rather than a reading lamp — add a task light where you need to see detail. White reads quieter against pale walls; black holds the ribbed lines more visibly. for trade pricing.
