Kozo Paper Globe Swag Pendant — mulberry paper, mid-century soul, ten sizes.

A single globe of hand-crafted mulberry paper — Kozo fibre woven into a smooth, luminous sphere that glows warmly from within. Where most pendants frame the bulb as object, the Kozo Globe dissolves it entirely: the light source disappears and what remains is a diffused radiance that fills the room without direction or glare. Inspired by the Japanese paper lantern tradition and the mid-century modernism of Isamu Noguchi’s paper lamp studies, this is a plug-in swag pendant available in ten diameters from 40 cm to 120 cm. This listing features a white cord.


Rice Paper Series — Lightness, Harmony, and Timeless Design


⚪ White cord version. A black cord version of this pendant is available as a separate listing — all specifications and dimensions are identical, only the cord colour differs.

Hand-bonded mulberry paper — minor glue traces are normal

Each globe is individually hand-crafted using the Chigiri bonding technique. Minor glue traces along the edge of the shade may be visible — this is a natural result of the hand-bonding process and is not a quality defect. Each piece will differ slightly from the next.

Swag-style plug-in — no hardwiring required

Runs on a 180″ (457 cm) cord with an inline push-button on/off switch — enough cord to swag across a ceiling hook and drop to the desired height. Simply hook, drape, plug in, and done. No electrician needed, fully repositionable.

What is a swag pendant and how do I install it?

A swag pendant hangs from a ceiling hook rather than from a hardwired electrical box. Install a ceiling hook or swag hook at your desired position, drape the cord from the plug in a gentle arc across the ceiling to the hook, then let the pendant drop to your preferred height. The excess cord can be gathered or hidden along a ceiling beam. No electrician required — the plug connects to any standard wall or floor outlet. The 180″ (457 cm) cord provides ample length for most room configurations.

Which size is right for my dining table?

As a general rule, a single globe pendant should be about 50–60% of the table width for good visual balance. For a 4-seat round table of 90–100 cm: ∅ 50–60 cm. For a 6-seat table of 120 cm: ∅ 60–70 cm. For a grand dining room statement or large rectangular table: ∅ 75–90 cm. If you want the globe to dominate as a centrepiece in a high-ceiling space, the ∅ 100 cm or 120 cm creates a truly dramatic effect.

What is Kozo mulberry paper?

Kozo (楚) is the Japanese paper mulberry plant, and its bast fibres have been used to make handmade washi paper for over a thousand years. Kozo paper is prized for its long fibres, soft texture, and translucency — properties that make it ideal for paper lanterns. When light passes through Kozo paper, it is diffused evenly with a warm, organic quality that no synthetic material replicates. The paper is durable for its weight but should be treated as a delicate handcraft object.

How do I care for the paper globe?

Do not use water or damp cloths on the paper shade. For dust, use a very soft dry brush or low-power compressed air held at distance. Keep away from moisture and direct rain. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which may yellow the paper over time. The paper globe is delicate — do not compress, press, or store under other objects.

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.


Sizing & questions

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

Which size works best for a dining table?+

∅ 23.6″ fits 4–6 seats; ∅ 27.6″ suits larger dining; ∅ 29.5″ works for 6–8 seat tables. All suspend via 180″ cord—adjust drop height to your ceiling and table size.

Do I need an electrician to install this?+

No. Swag pendant plugs directly into an outlet with inline push-button switch. Hook cord to ceiling, drape, plug in. Fully repositionable—no hardwiring required.

What bulb should I use?+

Warm-white LED (2700–3000 K), 8–12W for most sizes; 12–15W for ∅ 80″+. E26 (US/CA) or E27 (EU/AU) base. Warm tone glows through paper; avoid cool white.

Can I get a custom size?+

Stock sizes range ∅ 40–120 cm. Contact us about custom dimensions—each piece is hand-crafted in our atelier and made to order.

How do I clean the mulberry paper?+

Gently dust with a soft, dry brush. Avoid moisture and direct contact. The hand-bonded paper may show minor glue traces—this is natural and not a defect.
