A soft, sculptural ceiling pendant — cotton paper hand-pasted onto a bamboo-rib frame, shaped into a rounded onion silhouette with horizontal ribbing that catches the light. Two sizes: 17.7″ or 23.6″ diameter. The paper diffuses the bulb into a warm, even glow. For dining tables, foyers, bedrooms, or a quiet living-room corner.
Onion silhouette
Wide rounded body that tapers to a narrow top — soft and sculptural, lit or unlit.
Hand-pasted paper
Cotton paper hand-pasted onto fine bamboo ribs; ribs show faintly through the paper when lit.
Warm even glow
The paper diffuses the bulb evenly — no glare, no hot spots, a soft pool of warm light.

Handcrafted — slight variation expected
Paper-shade safety — use an LED bulb only
The shade is paper on a bamboo frame and the bulb hangs inside. 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.
- Hardwired ceiling install over a standard junction box — a licensed electrician is recommended.
- Use only an LED bulb, E26/E27 medium base, max 40W. Never use incandescent or halogen — the paper shade can scorch. Bulb not included.
- The paper shade and bamboo ribs are delicate. Lift the pendant by the ceiling canopy, not the shade. Avoid bumping into the shade once installed.
- Indoor and dry locations only (IP20). Not for bathrooms, outdoor exposure, or kitchen steam areas — paper absorbs moisture and will warp.
- 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.
Which size should I pick?
The 17.7″ Small suits a bedroom, foyer, side corner, or a smaller dining table. The 23.6″ Large is sized for a standard dining table, living-room center, or larger entryway. As a rule, choose a pendant about ½ to ⅔ the width of the table or area below it.
Why does it have to be an LED bulb?
The paper shade encloses 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. Once installed at ceiling height, it's out of harm's way; the risk is during unpacking and install. Lift by the canopy, not the shade.
