Mulberry paper, folded into light.
An organic form, built from mulberry-bark paper.
This piece is . The shade is handcrafted from mulberry-bark paper stretched over a slim iron frame, with a softly undulating profile and characteristic top apertures that breathe like the eyes of a quiet living form. The paper diffuses the bulb’s warmth into a low-glare, ambient glow — flattering, calm, and quietly present. Pairs effortlessly with Japandi, Scandi, wabi-sabi, mid-century modern, warm-minimalist, and biophilic interiors.
A living silhouette, simply wired.
A note on the artisan process.
Minor glue traces are part of the craft.
This product is meticulously hand-bonded using paper and glue. As a result, you may notice minor traces of glue along the edge of the lampshade where strips of mulberry paper join the frame. This is part of the traditional Gifu-lantern technique and is considered normal — not a quality issue. Each lamp is unique because each is folded by hand.

Quick questions.
What is mulberry paper, and is it durable?
Mulberry paper (also known as washi) is a traditional Japanese paper made from the inner bark of the mulberry tree. The long, fine fibers are pounded, soaked, and laid into sheets — the result is a paper that’s surprisingly tough for its lightness, with excellent light-diffusion properties.
With normal indoor use, the shade will hold its shape and color for many years. Avoid direct moisture, kitchen-grease environments, or sharp objects — paper does not recover from punctures or water marks. Dust gently with a soft brush; never wipe with a damp cloth.
Why do I see glue traces on the edges of the shade?
The shade is hand-bonded using strips of mulberry paper and glue, following the traditional Gifu lantern technique. Minor glue traces along the edges where paper strips overlap or join the frame are part of the artisan process — every single lamp will have these marks because no two are folded identically.
This is not a defect or quality issue. If you would prefer a piece without any handcraft variations, please consider a machine-made lamp instead.
What kind of bulb does it use?
Single E26 or E27 medium screw bulb (LED recommended). E26 is the US/Canada standard, E27 is the EU/UK/Asia/Australia standard — physically interchangeable.
Because the shade is paper, we strongly recommend warm-white LED bulbs (2700K) at 5-9W maximum — LEDs run cool and won’t heat the paper. Avoid incandescent or halogen bulbs over 40W, which generate enough heat to scorch or yellow the paper over time.
How is it installed?
This lamp is plug-in — no hardwiring required. It ships with a 150 cm / 59″ cord ending in a standard wall plug, with an inline on/off switch on the cord. Simply screw in a bulb, plug it into any standard outlet, and switch it on.
Please follow the included wiring connection guide (image shown above) when assembling the lamp the first time. The cord is extendable on request — before ordering for custom cord length.
The mulberry-paper sculptural form pairs effortlessly with Japandi, Scandi, wabi-sabi, mid-century modern, warm-minimalist, and biophilic interiors. Best placements:
Bedside: as a single sculptural anchor on a low nightstand or bedside table.
Console / sideboard: as a glowing focal point in an entryway or living-room sideboard.
Reading corner: beside a low chair where the warm paper-diffused light flatters paperback pages.
Dining-room sideboard: for soft ambient backlight during dinners — substitute for harsh overhead lighting.
