The Washi Paper A Pendant Light suspends a perfectly round shade of hand-finished Washi Paper over a fine ribbed frame, glowing from within like a soft paper moon — offered in eleven diameters, from a compact bedside orb to a grand foyer statement, so it settles into any room at exactly the right scale.

THE QUALITY OF LIGHT

The Washi Paper doesn't block light so much as transform it, spreading an even, glare-free golden glow that softens harsh shadows and makes a room feel quiet and warm. By day the sphere reads as a clean architectural object; by night it becomes a luminous globe.

Offered in eleven diameters — from Ø 11.8″ to Ø 47.2″ — to suit anything from a compact bedside to a high-ceilinged foyer, on an adjustable cord.

Washi Paper A Pendant Light size comparison across rooms

Which Size for Your Space

Ø 11.8″ – 15.7″ (30A · 40A)

Best over a bedside, reading corner, or small side table — a soft, low-hung orb for intimate spaces.

Ø 19.7″ – 23.6″ (50A · 55A · 60A)

Best over a dining table for two to six, or as a living-room pendant above a coffee table.

Ø 27.5″ – 31.5″ (70A · 75A · 80A)

Best over a long farmhouse table, a bright living room, or a double-height entry with a staircase.

Ø 35.4″ – 47.2″ (90A · 100A · 120A)

Best over a vaulted great room, a grand open foyer, or a spacious café — statement scale for tall, open volumes.

A Quick Sizing Rule

Over a table, pick a sphere roughly one-half to two-thirds the table's width. For an open room, add the room's width and length in feet — a total near 20 suits a Ø 20″ sphere, near 40 a Ø 40″ one. When in doubt between two sizes, size up: a globe reads best when it fills its space.

Hanging Height

Over a dining table30–36″ above the top

Foyer / stairwellHang low to fill the void

Ceiling heightLarger sizes need 9 ft+

DETAILS MATTER

What Makes It Special

01 Hand-Finished Washi Paper

Each sphere is finished by hand in thick, tear-resistant Washi Paper, its subtle fibrous texture and warm tone coming through the moment it's lit — substantial and organic, never a printed imitation.

02 Ribbed Inner Frame

Beneath the paper, a fine ribbed frame gives the sphere its perfectly round shape and structure — a lightweight skeleton that keeps the whole form airy and true, with no dents or sag.

03 Washi Paper's Even Diffused Glow

Light passes through the paper in every direction at once, so there are no hotspots and no hard shadow lines — just a steady, wraparound amber glow that fills a room the way lamplight does, softening whatever it touches.
