SevernLighting

The Marlen Squared Paper Column Pendant Light is a tall four-sided lantern of handmade mulberry paper (washi-style) over a fine wire frame, with softly rounded corners rather than sharp edges. Lit, the paper turns the bulb into a single glowing column and the horizontal ribs surface faintly across each face.

FIXTURE DETAILS

The squared profile is what sets it apart from a round paper pendant — flat faces catch light evenly and the fixture lines up with the geometry of a table, an island or a stairwell instead of floating as a sphere.

Finding Your Fit

Marlen comes in two sizes — Small (13″ cube) and Large (17.7″ cube). Hang a single lantern over a dining table or kitchen island so the bottom sits about 30–36″ above the surface, or use it for soft ambient light in a bedroom or study. It suspends from a standard cord and canopy, and size and color are made to order.

DETAILS MATTER

What Makes It Special

01 Ribs That Appear When It's Lit

A fine wire frame holds the paper taut, and once the light is on the ribs surface as faint even lines across every face — structure becoming pattern, visible only when it's working.

02 Mulberry Paper With Real Grain

The shade is handmade plant-fibre paper, so the surface carries a faint irregular texture and a warmth in tone that printed film sheets never develop.

03 Hangs True on a Sloped Ceiling

The lantern suspends from a cord rather than a rigid rod, so it drops plumb no matter what angle the ceiling runs at — vaulted, pitched or under a stair, with no special adapter needed.
