Kozo Paper Metal Pendant — mulberry paper, metal frame, dual-bulb warmth.

Two E26/E27 bulbs are cradled inside a large mulberry paper shade built on a metal internal armature — the frame providing structural precision while the Kozo paper diffuses both light sources into a single, seamless warm glow. At ∅ 47 cm and H 82 cm, the form is generous enough to anchor a dining table or living room on its own, yet the paper construction keeps the visual weight close to zero. A hardwired ceiling pendant inspired by the Japanese paper lantern tradition and the mid-century modernist study of light as material.


Elegant, Modern, Illuminating

Rice Paper Series — Lightness & Harmony


Hand-bonded mulberry paper — minor glue traces are normal

Each shade is individually hand-crafted using the Chigiri bonding technique — paper layers are hand-torn and bonded with glue. Minor glue traces along the shade edge are a natural result of this process and are not quality defects. Each piece will differ slightly.


Kozo Mulberry Paper

Hand-crafted Kozo paper shade — warm, translucent, sourceless diffused glow.

Metal Internal Frame

Precision metal armature gives the shade its form — structural without visual weight.

Dual E26/E27 Sockets

Two bulbs for ample ambient output — single shade, layered warmth.

2 × E26 (US/CA) or E27 (EU/AU) — bulbs not included

Two bulb sockets, two matching warm-white LEDs at 2700–3000 K recommended. The paper shade merges both light sources into a single warm, even glow — there is no visible hotspot or shadow pattern. Two 6–8W warm LEDs (12–16W combined) provide comfortable ambient lighting for a dining table or living room of up to 20 m². Use matching bulbs of the same wattage and colour temperature in both sockets for the most uniform result.

Why does this pendant have two bulb sockets?

The larger form of the Kozo Paper Pendant (∅ 47 cm, H 82 cm) has more interior volume than a single bulb can evenly illuminate. Two bulbs placed inside the metal frame ensure that light is distributed throughout the full height of the shade — the glow is warm and even from bottom to top, with no dark zones or shadowing. Use two matching warm-white LEDs of the same wattage for the most uniform result.

What is the metal frame inside the shade?

The internal metal armature is the structural skeleton of the shade — it gives the pendant its form and keeps the mulberry paper taut and properly shaped. Metal is used because it can be precision-formed to the exact geometry required, holding the paper in a consistent silhouette across the full height of the shade. The metal frame is not visible through the paper when the lamp is lit — only the warm, even glow of the Kozo paper is seen from the outside.

How do I care for the paper shade?

Mulberry paper is delicate — do not clean with water or damp cloths. For dust, use a very soft dry brush or low-power compressed air held at distance. Avoid moisture, direct rain, and prolonged direct sunlight. Do not compress or press the shade. The metal frame is rigid but the paper surface will crease or tear if pressed. Handle gently at all times.

Is this lamp certified for North America and Europe?

Yes. It holds certifications compatible with North America, Saudi Arabia, Europe, and Australia and operates on AC 110–240V worldwide.

Why does this pendant have two bulb sockets?+

Two bulbs distribute warm light evenly throughout the full 32.2″ shade height, preventing dark zones or shadowing. Use two matching warm-white LEDs of the same wattage and color temperature (2700–3000K recommended) for uniform glow.

What ceiling height do I need for this pendant?+

Standard ceiling height is 8 feet. The pendant comes with a 59″ adjustable cable. Request extension during order if needed. Consult installation guides for final hang height calculation.

How is the mulberry paper shade made?+

What bulbs should I use?+

Two E26 (US/CA) or E27 (EU/AU) bulbs required (not included). Two 6–8W warm LEDs recommended. Edison filament bulbs also work. Bulbs are replaceable; specify dimming as a build-to-order option if desired.

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.

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."
