A sculptural table lamp — a twisted paper shade hand-pasted onto a slim bamboo-rib frame, on a low metal tripod base. 15.7″ × 23.6″ (40 × 60 cm). The paper softens the light into a warm ambient glow; the twisted form reads as a sculpture when off. For a console, sideboard, nightstand, or a quiet floor corner.

Twisted paper shade

Soft cotton-paper shade hand-pasted onto a bamboo-rib frame — sculptural, warm.

Bamboo rib structure

Slim bamboo ribs form the twisted shape and show faintly through the paper when lit.

Three-leg metal base

A low metal tripod sits flat on a table or console; the cord exits through the back.

Material Paper, Bamboo, Metal
Shade Cotton-paper hand-pasted onto bamboo ribs
Base Three-leg metal tripod, black finish
Light source One E27 medium-base bulb · max 40W (LED required — see safety notes)
Light color Warm white (pick bulb temperature to taste)
Size (W × H) 15.7″ × 23.6″ (40 × 60 cm)
Power AC 110–240V; plug-in cord with in-line switch
Handcrafted — slight variation expected

The paper is hand-pasted onto the bamboo frame. Each shade shows slight differences in twist, paper texture, paste lines, and the way light passes through the ribs — part of the craft, not a defect. Email us for photos of in-stock pieces before ordering.

Paper-shade safety — use an LED bulb only

The shade is paper on a bamboo frame and sits close to the bulb. Use only an LED bulb up to 40W — incandescent and halogen bulbs run too hot for a paper shade and can scorch or ignite. Do not exceed the wattage on the socket label.


  • Plug-and-play — no electrician needed. The cord has an in-line switch.
  • Use only an LED bulb, E27 medium base, max 40W. Never use incandescent or halogen — the paper shade can scorch. Bulb not included.
  • Place on a stable, level surface (console, sideboard, nightstand, or a low table). Keep clear of curtains, bedding, paper, and other flammables. Indoor and dry locations only.
  • The paper shade and bamboo ribs are delicate. Lift the lamp from the metal base, not the shade. Keep away from pets and small children who might knock it over.
  • Dust the shade with a soft, dry brush only. Do not use water, cleaners, or vacuum suction — water will spot the paper and suction can pull or tear it.


Why does it have to be an LED bulb?

The paper shade sits close to the bulb. LED bulbs run cool to the touch; incandescent and halogen run hot enough to scorch or burn paper. We require an LED for this reason. Use a warm-white LED, max 40W equivalent.

How fragile is the paper shade?

The paper is hand-pasted onto bamboo ribs — delicate but not flimsy. It will tear or dent if struck, pressed firmly, or rubbed wet. Lift the lamp by the metal tripod, not the shade. Keep clear of pets, small children, and high-traffic spots.

Can I clean it?

Dust only — with a soft, dry brush. No water, no cleaning sprays, no vacuum suction (suction can pull the paper). If the paper is permanently marked, the shade can be replaced; email us with photos and order number.

Where does it fit best?

On a console, sideboard, nightstand, or low side table — places where its sculptural form reads as decor and it's away from foot traffic. At 23.6″ tall it's a generous accent piece, not a primary room light. Can also sit on the floor in a quiet corner.

What's the warranty?

2-year warranty on wiring, socket, and switch. Hand-finish variation in the paper and bamboo is not a defect; tears or scorch marks from misuse (wrong bulb, knocks, water) are not covered. Email support with photos within 7 days of delivery for any transit damage.

If it is a product quality problem or transportation damage, we will provide free return and exchange services, ensuring a hassle-free experience for our customers.

The Material Japanese Washi —
A Timeless Art
Washi is a traditional Japanese handmade paper crafted from natural plant fibres — kozo (mulberry), mitsumata, and gampi. The meticulous process of stripping, boiling, washing, and beating fibres into pulp, then forming and drying sheets on bamboo screens, yields paper both exceptionally strong and delicately translucent.
Kozo · Mulberry Mitsumata Gampi Bamboo Frame Hand-Formed Sun-Dried
· Revered for its beauty and durability, washi has long graced calligraphy, origami, architectural shoji screens, and festival lanterns — reflecting Japan's rich cultural heritage and refined aesthetic sensibility. Of Paper, Light, and Cultural Elegance — this is a tradition of making that has endured because it cannot be improved upon. Only practised, inherited, and passed forward.
Complete washi paper production process — 6 stages from raw fibre to finished sheet
Paper · Light · Craft Paper of Light,
Art of Serenity
From fibre to finished glow — every stage of a paper lantern's creation is guided by trained hands, quiet focus, and generations of inherited knowledge.
01

Fibre Selection & Preparation

Raw kozo bark is stripped, boiled in ash-lye, and hand-washed to reveal pure, long-strand fibres ready for papermaking.

02

Sheet Formation

Fibres are beaten into pulp and suspended in water. A bamboo screen is dipped through the suspension, capturing an even, translucent layer of future paper.

03

Drying & Finishing

Sheets are carefully pressed and sun-dried on wooden boards. The result: paper of singular softness, strength, and warm translucency.

04

Frame Building & Wrapping

A bamboo or wood armature is assembled by hand. Washi sheets are layered, stretched, and shaped around the frame to form the lantern.

05

Hand-Painted Motifs

Artisans apply traditional patterns — brushstrokes of ink, botanical motifs, geometric forms — directly onto the washi surface. No two are identical.

An Illuminated Tradition

Handcrafted Light · Tranquil Glow More Than Décor —
A Presence
When illuminated, a washi lantern does not just light a room. It transforms it — casting a warm, diffused glow that settles the air, softens the shadows, and invites a slower pace.

"Long associated with festivals, meditation, and peaceful living, these lanterns are more than just décor — they are a gentle celebration of harmony and timeless beauty."
