Handmade with Japanese Washi for a Soft, Wabi-Sabi Glow

Unlike other rice paper lampshades, our Ellipse paper shade is made with authentic Japanese washi, made from the inner bark of mulberry trees, and known for its kōzo (楮树) fibers — celebrated for their exceptional fiber length and flexibility, which make the pendant shade both stronger and more durable than ordinary varieties.

Infused with Nature — No Two Alike

Tiny fragments of kōzo bark are intentionally preserved within each paper sheet, creating natural specks and textures that reflect the spirit of wabi-sabi — celebrating imperfection, nature, and individuality.
No two lampshades are ever identical, making each one a quietly unique expression of beauty and craftsmanship.

Supported by Natural Bamboo for Effortless Elegance

Thin bamboo rods form the inner frame of the lampshade, giving it gentle strength and a naturally organic feel. Each rod is carefully hand-shaped to follow the lamp’s curves, adding subtle texture and warmth while keeping the structure light and balanced.

Why hüga

Our Paper Lamps are Different

    • Expert craftsmanship: Our artisans have, on average, over 10 years of experience in paper lamp making. Because all of our paper lamps are handmade, each piece you receive is unique, and carefully constructed with lasting skill and care.
    • Made to last: Unlike mass-produced alternatives that cut corners with low-quality materials and rushed assembly, our lamps are thoughtfully designed to be durable, timeless, and beautifully crafted. Each artisan is specifically trained and guided to ensure every detail reflects the care, precision, and quality we stand for.
    • Trusted quality: We work with the same manufacturer trusted by premium design retailers like Design Within Reach (DWR)—a name known for excellence in modern design.
    • Authentic materials: We use the best types of paper for our paper lamps. We source the paper used for our washi paper lamps from the same legacy supplier used in Noguchi’s original Akari designs, preserving the integrity of tradition and craft.
    • Design with intention: Every curve, fold, and fiber is considered—because to us, quality is not a feature; it’s a philosophy.
  • We currently use three types of paper across our collection: rice paper, cotton paper, and Japanese washi paper.

    • Rice paper has a delicate, translucent quality that gives each piece an airy elegance—perfect for those seeking a budget-friendly option with a refined touch.
    • Cotton paper is sturdier than rice paper, making it ideal for more sculptural or complex lamp shapes that require added structure.
    • Japanese washi paper is known for its soft, serene diffusing effect. We source our washi from a heritage paper maker in Gifu Prefecture, Japan.

  • No, we are not affiliated with Isamu Noguchi or The Noguchi Museum. Our paper lamps are inspired by his iconic designs and pay tribute to their timeless beauty. But we’ve also added our own design elements in various details to help you create a warm, inviting home without the gallery-level price tag.
