Mulberry Paper, Lit From Within
Filmed with the included dimmable LED bulb. Paper tone and light spread vary with bulb temperature and room finish.
The Akari Flat Shape 26A / 21A / 15A Pendant Light offer a refined and elegant experience, drawing inspiration from Japanese tradition and seamlessly blending functionality with sculptural aesthetics. Their wide, flat structure makes them ideal as a main light source for dining areas, providing even and horizontal light distribution across the entire table or tea room area. Available in various sizes, such as 26A, 21A, and 15A, they can be selected to suit the size of the space and the desired lighting coverage. They are an ideal choice for restaurants, tea rooms, cafes, or living rooms, providing soft and captivating illumination.
The lamps feature a flat, wide, saucer-shaped (or disc-shaped) silhouette, a modern interpretation of classic Japanese paper lanterns. Each lamp is meticulously handcrafted from soft washi paper made from delicate mulberry bark, emitting a warm and inviting glow. This lighting effect resembles the light and shadows cast by sunlight filtering through traditional Japanese shoji screens. These sculptural lamps create a serene and elegant atmosphere, transforming ordinary spaces into havens of understated luxury.

Before you install: Hardwired for indoor dry locations. We recommend installation by a licensed electrician in accordance with local electrical codes. Handle the shade by its frame rather than the paper, keep it away from steam and damp air, and do not exceed the 40W rating — paper shades need the heat kept low.
Find Your Size
Three Sizes, One Flat Curve
Sizing tip: Over a dining table, choose a diameter roughly 12″ less than the table width, and hang the base of the shade 30–36″ above the tabletop. Because the shade is flat rather than round, it takes far less headroom than a globe of the same width — the widest size stands only 13.8″ tall, so it reads generous without closing the room in. The cord is 59″ as standard and shortened at installation.


When Light Meets Paper
Glass and metal hold light inside a hard shell, and what escapes arrives with a sharp edge.
Mulberry paper takes a different route.
As light passes through countless natural fibres, its edges come undone. It settles into a warm, quiet wash that fills a room rather than pointing at it.
Glass reflects. Paper breathes.
Which is why this pendant registers as atmosphere first, and as a fixture second.

The Akari Series — Light
Crafted by hand and spirit; each lantern is unique.
The Art of Hand-Crafted Mulberry Paper
Each lamp is a testament to centuries-old craftsmanship, where natural materials meet skilled artisan hands to create lighting that transcends function and becomes art.
Natural Materials
Authentic mulberry bark paper with organic fiber patterns
Artisan Crafted
Hand-stretched by skilled craftspeople, one piece at a time
Timeless Design
Sculptural beauty that glows with warm, diffused light
The Paper
Authentic mulberry paper is hand-crafted from the inner bark of mulberry trees. Natural fibers interweave in organic patterns, creating thickness variations that make each sheet one-of-a-kind.
Hand-Stretched
Artisans hand-stretch the mulberry paper over the lamp frame with meticulous care. This traditional technique preserves the paper's natural warmth and tactile character.
The Glow
When illuminated, light filters through the natural fibers, casting a soft, warm, glare-free glow. When off, the lamp stands as a sculptural piece in its own right.
Every lamp tells a story of patience, skill, and respect for natural materials—a quiet celebration of wabi-sabi philosophy.
Handmade Mulberry Bark Paper Lamp Crafting Process
Traditional craftsmanship meets modern design
Mulberry Bark Handmade Paper
Crafted using traditional handmade papermaking techniques.
Natural Air Drying and Shaping
The stretched paper is left to dry naturally in controlled conditions.
Hand Stretching on Frame
Skilled artisans carefully stretch the handmade paper onto specially designed frames.
Assembly into Lamp
The dried paper shade is carefully assembled with electrical components.
Mulberry Paper — A Living Material
Our shades are made from paper crafted the traditional way, from the inner bark of the mulberry tree. The bark is stripped, softened, washed, and beaten into pulp, then formed sheet by sheet and dried by hand. It's a slow, patient process — one that yields paper both surprisingly strong and beautifully translucent.
Because each sheet is formed by hand, no two are exactly alike. Look closely and you'll see the natural fibers running through it, the subtle shifts in thickness, the gentle texture that only real handmade paper has. These aren't flaws — they're the fingerprint of a material made by human hands, not a machine.
