Handcrafted from translucent washi paper made from the inner bark of the mulberry tree, the Akari pendant creates a warm, diffused glow unlike any other material. Each piece is a light sculpture — organic, quietly luminous, and made by hand.

"The designer has compared the light of Akari to sunlight filtered through traditional paper doors — the light sculptures create a warm glow and pleasant ambiance."

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this lamp made from?

Handcrafted from translucent washi paper made from the inner bark of the mulberry tree — the same traditional material used in Japanese shoji screens and paper lanterns. The paper is hand-bonded over a metal wire frame.

Why are there glue traces on the shade?

The shade is assembled by hand using paper and glue. Minor glue traces along the edges are a normal characteristic of this handcraft process — not a defect.

What sizes are available?

Three individual sizes — 26A (∅17.7"), 21A (∅25.6"), and 15A (∅34.6") — plus cluster configurations pairing two, three, or five pendants at graduated heights.

What bulb is recommended?

A warm Edison-style filament bulb (2200–2700K) — the amber glow through washi paper is exceptionally warm and beautiful, evoking candlelight or sunlight through a shoji screen. E26 or E27 base. Bulb not included.

How long is the cable?

197 inches (500 cm) — an extra-long cable suitable for double-height or lofted ceilings. It can be shortened at installation. Custom extensions available on request.

Sizing & questions

Every piece is made to order in our own atelier — here is what most clients ask before choosing theirs.

Which size should I choose for my dining table?+

The 21A (∅25.6″) works well over standard dining tables; the 15A (∅34.6″) suits larger tables or creates dramatic focal points. For intimate settings, pair two or three sizes in a cluster configuration for layered ambient light.

Can I customize the cable length for a high ceiling?+

Yes. Standard cable adjusts to 197″ (500 cm). Custom extensions are available on request through our atelier for very high ceilings or stairwells—contact us with your ceiling height.

What bulb should I use?+

E26 base (bulb not included). A warm 2200–2700K Edison-style filament bulb is strongly recommended—the amber glow through washi paper mimics candlelight beautifully. LED bulbs also work.

Are glue traces on the shade a defect?+

No. Minor glue traces along shade edges are a natural result of our hand-bonding process using mulberry washi paper and glue. Each piece carries the warmth of handcraft work.

What cable colors are available?+

White & White Cable or White & Black Cable. Choose based on your ceiling and décor to either blend seamlessly or create intentional visual contrast.
