Cosima Hourglass Washi Paper Floor Lamp
Product Description
SevernLighting
The Cosima Hourglass Washi Paper Floor Lamp brings a tall, sculptural glow to a room with a softly pleated off-white washi paper shade shaped into an hourglass silhouette, built over a bamboo-fiber frame on a slim black metal base—designed for living rooms, bedrooms, reading corners, and quiet lounge areas.
THE QUALITY OF LIGHT
The folded washi paper shade diffuses light into an even, glare-free warmth with a gentle vertical rhythm, while the cinched hourglass form keeps the tall profile light and architectural rather than bulky.
At Dia 13" × H 63.4" (Ø33 × 161cm), it adds real vertical presence to a corner. Plugs into any standard outlet with a cord switch.

Where It Fits Best
A tall sculptural glow — a soft column of light for any quiet corner.
Beside a Reading Chair
Set next to a favorite armchair, Cosima's tall hourglass shade casts a warm, glare-free glow that's perfect for winding down with a book — sculptural by day, a soft column of light by night. Where it looks its very best.

Finding Your Fit
At Ø 13″ × 63.4″ tall, Cosima stands like a lit sculpture beside a chair or sofa, or in a bare corner that needs warmth. Its slim base takes up little floor space, while the tall shade throws a soft column of light — ideal wherever you'd want an ambient glow rather than harsh overhead light.
Good to Know
DETAILS MATTER
What Makes It Special
01 Bamboo-Fiber Inner Frame
Beneath the paper, a hand-built bamboo-fiber armature gives the shade its structure and gentle curve—a natural, lightweight skeleton that keeps the whole form airy.
02 Slim Black Metal Base
A minimal black metal frame grounds the pale paper column with quiet contrast, keeping the footprint compact while giving the tall shade a stable, modern anchor.
03 Washi Paper's Soft Diffused Glow
Light passes through the washi paper rather than around it, so the shade itself becomes the source—an even, glare-free warmth with no harsh shadows or hotspots.
Questions, Answered
Tap the + to expand each answer.
How tall is it, and where does it work best?
Cosima is a Ø 13″ × 63.4″ tall floor lamp on a slim base. It stands beautifully beside a reading chair or sofa, in a bare corner, a bedroom, or a quiet lounge — a small footprint with a tall, soft, ambient glow.
What kind of light does it give, and is it dimmable?
The off-white washi paper diffuses light into an even, glare-free warmth with no hotspots. It takes E26 or E27 bulbs (not included) and uses a push-button switch; it is not dimmable. For the warmest effect, pair it with 2700K–3000K warm-white bulbs.
How is it powered — is it plug-in?
Yes. It's a plug-in floor lamp with a cord and a push-button switch — just plug it into a standard outlet. Choose your plug type (US, UK, AU, or EU) at checkout so it's ready for your region.
What is the shade made of, and will each one look the same?
The shade is hand-finished in off-white washi paper with a softly pleated finish, stretched over a bamboo-fiber inner armature on a slim black metal base. Because each is handmade, the texture and pleating are subtly unique to every piece.
Can the size or color be customized?
Yes — it's made to order. Size and color can be tailored to your space through direct consultation. The standard Ø 13″ × 63.4″ size in white is in stock and ready to ship.
How do I clean and care for the washi paper?
Dust the shade gently with a dry, soft microfiber cloth or a soft brush; avoid water, sprays, and solvents on the paper. Keep it dry and indoors. Handled with care, the washi shade keeps its clean, luminous look for years.

Shipping & Returns
Return and Exchange Policy:
- 30-Day Return & Exchange Window: Contact us within 30 days of receiving your order for a return or exchange, based on the delivery date confirmed in your tracking record. Requests submitted after 30 days cannot be processed.
- Eligibility: Items must be unused and in original condition with all tags, labels, packaging, accessories, and manuals intact. Fixtures requiring assembly must be returned unassembled — pieces that have been installed, or that have damaged wiring or loosened components, are not eligible. A valid order number or proof of purchase is required.
- Non-Returnable Items: Made-to-order, customized, and personalized pieces; light bulbs and consumables once opened; items no longer in original condition or with damaged packaging; and final sale items.
Return Shipping Costs:
- Our Responsibility: If the return is due to a product quality issue, manufacturing defect, shipping damage, incorrect delivery, or a package returned to sender undelivered, we cover all return shipping costs including any applicable customs fees, and issue a full refund or a free replacement.
- Customer Responsibility: If the return is based on personal preference — color, design, or features not matching expectations, size judged incorrectly, change of mind, or ordering the wrong item, model, or quantity — the customer covers return shipping and any related customs fees.
Exchanges & Cancellations:
- Exchanges: The fastest route is to return the original piece, then place a new order once the return is approved. For quality or damage issues we cover both directions; for personal-preference exchanges, the customer covers return shipping on the original plus the full price of the new piece.
- Order Cancellation: Stock items can be cancelled free of charge within 24 hours. After 24 hours but before shipping, a $50 handling fee applies. Once shipped, orders cannot be cancelled — please follow the return process instead. Made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled once confirmed, as production begins immediately.

- Step 2 — Receive your RMA number: We will issue a Return Merchandise Authorization number along with the return address. Returns sent without prior authorization cannot be accepted or processed.
- Step 3 — Pack and ship: Repack the piece securely in its original packaging with all accessories and a copy of your order confirmation. Mark the RMA number clearly on the outside of the parcel, then email us the return tracking number.
- Step 4 — Inspection: We inspect returned pieces within 3-5 business days of arrival and confirm approval by email.
Refund Processing:
- Timing: Refunds are issued automatically to your original payment method — typically 1-3 business days for PayPal and 5-7 business days for credit or debit cards. Your bank may need additional time to post the credit. If you have not received your refund within 15 business days of approval, email us with your order number.
- Return Address: Returns are received at our facility in Jiangmen, Guangdong, China. For customer-initiated returns, please factor international return shipping into your decision — we will confirm the full address and estimated cost when we issue your RMA number.
