A handmade paper pendant — ivory rice paper stretched over a metal frame, segmented by stained oak accent rings. The paper diffuses the bulb's light into an even ambient glow with a visible horizontal ribbing texture. Four model shapes (A, B, C, D) ranging from compact 16.5″ to tall 26.4″ — each model has its own silhouette. Choose by room scale and ceiling height. Black-oak or white-oak accent rings.

⚠ Paper care & safety — read before installing

1. The shade is real rice paper. It is durable in normal indoor use but is not waterproof. Avoid bathrooms, kitchens above stovetops (steam and grease), and direct contact with water or food. Do not wipe with a damp cloth — use a dry soft brush only.

2. Use a cool-running LED bulb only. The paper sits close to the heat source. Use ≤9W LED bulbs (≤60W incandescent equivalent); do not use halogen, incandescent above 60W, or any high-heat bulb. LED is non-negotiable for paper-shade longevity.

Handmade rice paper

Stretched ivory paper over a metal frame — each panel hand-formed, slight texture variation is intentional.

Oak accent rings

Stained oak rings at top, middle, and bottom transitions — choose black or white oak.

4 model silhouettes

A (tall elongated), B (medium dome), C (tall double-stack), D (compact dome) — pick the shape that fits your room.

Model A — Tall Elongated
Ø17.7″ × 25.6″ tall (45 × 65 cm)

Tall vertical capsule. Works as a focal point above a tall console, in a stairwell, or anywhere the eye should travel upward.

Model B — Medium Dome
Ø19.7″ × 18.9″ tall (50 × 48 cm)

Balanced dome with subtle vertical proportion. The most versatile shape — works over dining tables, kitchen islands, breakfast nooks.

Model C — Tall Double-Stack
Ø27.5″ × 26.4″ tall (70 × 67 cm)

Most dramatic — two stacked sections divided by a contrasting oak ring. For high ceilings, foyers, and statement installations.

Model D — Compact Dome
Ø19.7″ × 16.5″ tall (50 × 42 cm)

Wider than tall — the softest, lowest-profile option. Best for spaces with 8–9 ft ceilings where vertical drop is limited.

Black-stained oak (default) White-stained oak

Paper shade is ivory white across all models — only the oak ring finish is selectable.

Material Hand-stretched ivory rice paper · powder-coated metal frame · stained oak accent rings
Light source E26 (NA & CA) or E27 (EU, AU, etc.) — cool-running LED bulb only, ≤9W (60W equivalent), sold separately
Voltage AC 110–240V (universal)
Mounting Hardwired ceiling mount — flat or slightly pitched ceiling (up to 5°)
Oak ring finish Black-stained oak (default) · White-stained oak (request at order)
Paper finish Ivory white (fixed across all models)
Cable length 59″ (150 cm) adjustable; extensions on request
Control Compatible with standard wall switches and dimmers (not included)
Certification Certified for North America, EU, Australia, and Saudi Arabia
Packing Model C ships in a 37″ × 29″ × 5″ flat carton (paper assembled from collapsible frame)
Warranty 1 year on paper shade (subject to indoor dry use) · 2 years on frame and wiring
  • Hardwired ceiling install — licensed electrician recommended. Wall box (standard junction box) behind the canopy.
  • The paper shade ships collapsed and expands during installation — gently pop the paper open along its horizontal ribs before securing to the frame. Two-person handling recommended for Models A and C to avoid pressing on the paper while wiring overhead.
  • Bulb choice is critical: use only cool-running LED bulbs, ≤9W (60W incandescent equivalent). 2700K warm-white LED preserves the natural ivory paper tone. Halogen and high-wattage incandescent will yellow and brittle the paper over time.
  • Indoor dry locations only. Not for bathrooms, kitchens above stovetops, or covered outdoor areas. Steam, grease, and humidity damage paper.
  • Care: dust with a dry soft brush only. Never use a damp cloth or any liquid cleaner. For visible marks, light vacuuming with an upholstery attachment at low power can help.
Which model should I order — A, B, C, or D?

Model A (tall elongated) — focal point in stairwells or over a tall console with 10+ ft ceilings. Model B (medium dome) — the most versatile; over dining tables, islands, and breakfast nooks with 8–10 ft ceilings. Model C (tall double-stack) — dramatic statement piece for foyers, atriums, or high-ceiling rooms (10+ ft). Model D (compact dome) — best for low ceilings (8–9 ft) or where vertical drop is limited. Email info@vakkerlighting.com with your room photo and ceiling height for a recommendation.

What bulb does it use, and why is bulb choice so important?

E26 (NA/CA) or E27 (EU/AU) socket — LED only, ≤9W (60W incandescent equivalent). The paper shade sits close to the bulb; high-heat bulbs (halogen, incandescent over 60W) will gradually yellow and brittle the paper, voiding the warranty. 2700K warm-white LED is recommended — it preserves the ivory tone and runs cool. Look for LED bulbs explicitly labeled "low heat" or "energy-efficient."

How fragile is the paper shade in shipping and daily use?

The paper is real — it's not coated plastic. It is more durable than it looks (we've shipped thousands without issue) but it is paper. In shipping, the shade is collapsed flat for protection. In daily use, avoid touching the surface, water/steam exposure, or proximity to children or pets that may bat at it. Inspect on arrival — if any tear is visible, email info@vakkerlighting.com with photos within 7 days for a replacement shade.

Is it dimmable?

Yes — compatible with standard TRIAC (forward-phase) wall dimmers such as Lutron Caséta and Leviton, paired with a dimmable LED bulb. Dimming is recommended for ambient evening use — at full brightness the warm light is striking; dimmed to 30–40%, it reads as a candlelit lantern.

What's the warranty?

1-year warranty on the paper shade (limited to indoor dry use with LED bulbs ≤9W). 2-year warranty on the metal frame, oak rings, canopy, and wiring. Replacement paper shades are available paid-service after warranty — send the lamp back and we re-shade and return. Email info@vakkerlighting.com for any concern.

Where Tradition Meets Tranquility Akari Series — Light,
Sculpted by Hand and Spirit
Every lantern begins as raw paper and bamboo. Every crease is placed by hand. The process has not changed in a hundred years — and it shows in the quality of the glow.

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.

Applied by Hand, One Stroke at a Time Washi Lantern Making:
An Illuminated Tradition
Each motif painted onto the lantern surface carries centuries of artistic convention — and the quiet confidence of an artisan who has made this gesture a thousand times before.

Ink & Washi · A Living Surface

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."
