Handmade, Fuller Lampshade with Smooth Wood Rings

We refined our molding process to create a fuller, beautifully proportioned lampshade—100% handmade for an artisanal touch. In addition, the attached wood rings are now double-polished, ensuring a smoother, more refined surface that enhances the lamp’s aesthetic.

How are you different from other paper lamp sellers?

We care deeply about quality, craftsmanship, and the details that make each piece special. While many sellers use the cheapest materials to cut costs, our products are made to last, and our artisans have, on average, over 10 years of experience making paper lamps.

We work with the same manufacturer trusted by premium design retailers like DWR (Design Within Reach), and we source our washi paper from the same legacy supplier that provides paper for Noguchi’s original designs.

What kind of paper do you use?

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.

Are you affiliated with Noguchi or The Noguchi Museum?

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 the lampshades to help you create a warm, inviting home without the gallery-level price tag.
