The Soul of 55A: Authentic Washi from Gifu, Japan

Our 55A lampshade is meticulously handcrafted using Japanese washi paper, made in Gifu Prefecture, Japan—a region celebrated for its centuries-old papermaking tradition. We take great pride in the quality of our materials, partnering with a distinguished paper maker that has been crafting washi paper since 1956. This same supplier has provided paper to some of the world's most esteemed paper lamp artisans, continuing a legacy of excellence and craftsmanship.

The Art of Bamboo: Strength, Elegance, and Sustainability

Our 55A lampshade is thoughtfully structured with bamboo rods, selected for their exceptional resilience and flexibility. This natural strength ensures a fuller, rounder shape, enhancing its organic aesthetic. Beyond its durability, bamboo’s warm, soft tones gently filter through the washi paper, casting a cozy, wabi-sabi-inspired glow. As a sustainable and eco-friendly material, bamboo not only adds to the timeless beauty of the lampshade but also reflects a mindful approach to design and living.
