Inspiration

This floor lamp borrows from the paper lantern — a light source wrapped in something thin enough to glow rather than shine. Paper and bamboo silk are stretched over a metal frame by hand, so the light comes through the weave instead of off a surface, soft and slightly uneven. At full height it stands like a column of lit paper in the corner of a room. Two finishes, one idea: white reads as daylight held still, black as a lantern seen at dusk.

Key Features

Handcrafted Paper & Bamboo Silk

Paper and bamboo silk stretched over a metal frame by hand, so light passes through the weave as a soft, even glow. Small variations come with the handwork.

Plug-In with Foot Switch

No wiring and no electrician — plug it into a standard outlet and switch it with your foot. The cord runs 98.4″ (250 cm).

Two Bulbs, Even Column of Light

Two E26 or E27 sockets light the shade top and bottom, so the whole height glows evenly instead of showing one bright spot. Warm white bulbs included.

Use Case

At 74″ tall on a 20.4″ footprint this is a corner piece — it fills vertical space beside a sofa, an armchair, or a bed without taking floor area, and it works in rooms with 8 ft ceilings and up. Because it's plug-in with a foot switch, it goes anywhere there's an outlet within 98.4″, no wiring and no fixed position. Two bulbs behind paper give a soft, ambient wash rather than directed light, so keep a table or task lamp nearby for reading. White suits pale plaster, oak, and linen rooms; black holds its own against darker walls and wood. Email info@docos.us for trade pricing or to ask about a finish.

FAQ

What bulbs does it use — are they included?

It takes two E26 or E27 bulbs (the standard medium screw base — E26 in the US, E27 in Europe and Asia, same physical socket here), up to 40W each incandescent or the LED equivalent. Warm white 3000K bulbs are included and fully replaceable.

Does it need wiring or an electrician?

No — it's plug-in. It goes into a standard wall outlet and switches on and off with a foot switch on the cord, so no junction box, no wall switch, and no electrician. The cord is 98.4″ (250 cm) long, which is what limits how far it can sit from an outlet.

Is the shade real paper? Will each one look the same?

Yes — paper and bamboo silk over a metal frame, stretched by hand. Because it's handcrafted, the weave and surface vary slightly from piece to piece; that's part of the look rather than a defect.

How do I clean it, and can it go in a bathroom?

Dust it with a soft, dry brush or a vacuum on low suction — never water, a damp cloth, or solvents, which stain and warp paper. It's for indoor dry locations only, so not a steamy bathroom and not outdoors.

The Akari Series

Handcrafted paper. A warmer kind of light.

Washi paper, thin wire, and a warm diffused glow — no hotspots, no glare.

A sculptural piece by day, a quiet layer of ambient light by night. One lantern is often all a room needs.

Why Akari

Why the Akari Series feels different

Four reasons these lanterns keep showing up in homes that take lighting seriously.

Soft, diffused glow

Washi paper filters light into a warm wash. No harsh hotspots, no cold edges — just gentle ambient light across the whole room.

Handcrafted paper texture

Every shade is shaped and pressed by hand. Fiber lines, soft folds, and small irregularities you can actually see when it's lit.

Sculptural, nearly weightless

Strong silhouette, light visual footprint. Real presence in a room without crowding what's already there.

Styles with anything

Warm enough for mid-century, quiet enough for minimalist, soft enough to anchor a modern dining table.

Craft & Material

Paper that was made to hold light

Washi paper is thin, strong, and slightly translucent — which is exactly what a good shade needs. Light passes through the fiber instead of bouncing off it, so the glow lands soft and even. Every shade is hand-shaped over a wire frame, which means no two are identical. The small variations on the surface aren't defects — they're the difference between a handmade lantern and a printed one.

Heritage

The Art of Xuan Paper Making: A Thousand Years of Craftsmanship

Washi, traditional Japanese paper, is crafted from the inner barks of plants like kozo, mitsumata, and gampi. The process involves carefully stripping, boiling, and pounding the fibers into pulp, which is then spread onto bamboo mesh to form delicate sheets. Known for its strength, translucency, and soft texture, washi has been a vital part of Japanese culture for centuries — seen in origami, lanterns, and sliding doors, embodying the nation's enduring artistry and grace.

Room by Room

Where Akari lights belong

These aren't fixtures you hide. They're pieces you place — and every room has a spot that opens up with one of them in it.

Over the dining table

Hang a pendant low. The paper warms the room the moment you switch it on — the kind of light people stay under longer.

In the bedroom

A floor lantern in the corner replaces the overhead. Walls soften, the room calms, and the last hour of the day feels slower.

Living room & reading corner

Tall beside a chair, low on a side table — ambient light that fills the room without pulling attention away.

See It Light Up

Every lantern fills a room differently. See how the light settles in, from first switch to full glow.

From Owners

What owners are saying

★★★★★

"Bought the floor lantern for our bedroom and it completely changed the evening vibe. We never turn the overhead on anymore. Warm, but not yellow — if that makes sense."

★★★★★

"I was looking for a dining pendant that didn't feel cold or too 'designer.' This one actually pulls the table together. Guests always ask where it's from."

★★★★★

"The paper texture is better in person than in photos — you can see the fiber when it's lit. Arrived well-packed and easy to assemble."

Overall, it’s a great decorative piece if you’re going for a minimalist or cozy aesthetic and want softer lighting instead of something super bright.

This lamp looks like the real thing and adds a soft, elegant touch to the room. The size and height are perfect for my needs, fitting beautifully into my space.

The lamp works great! The shade fits over the internal wire easy. I would give the paper some time to stretch if you want to be careful, but it went on fine for me. No dimmer switch like the others but worth it for me because the others ripped.

It’s lightweight, great size, easy to assemble, pretty sturdy though I don’t expect it to be - it should be a nice ambient light placed on low traffic areas.

The paper lamp looks so good, the paper is delicate but feels sturdy at the same time. Putting it together was easy, I didn't use the included wrench tool and tightened it with my fingers.

I love it's not too bright and it's subtle and creates a calming peaceful atmosphere very nice lamp

Whether you use it for reading or as a decorative piece, it adds charm and tranquility to your home.

Item looks great. As described.

Great light. Nice ambience in the room in the evening. Had it set up and turned on within minutes of taking it out of the box when it arrived. One little recommendation or observation I guess, if you have cats keep an eye on them mine seems to like to try to pick at the paper.

Adorable and excellent quality. It’s a little flimsy and the lamp shade is very delicate but I am in love with this piece in my home.

It gives the perfect glow. It has two light settings as well. I love the simple concept of this lamp. I would repurchase this again.

It’s a stunning lamp and well worth the money! I would buy it again if I had the room for it. It goes well in my Japanese themed office.

Exactly what I wanted for my living room - love the warm light setting. Very easy to put together

Super cute and easy to set up! The base isn’t entirely even but it doesn’t really bother me.

This lamp definitely adds a calm, cozy vibe to the room. It's super unique and is a great conversation starter. The white rice paper shade gives off a soft glow that's great for ambient lighting, especially at night.

The paper shade is delicate, so you do have to be careful during installation, but I feel like that is part of the appeal. The materials and build quality are decent, no complaints once it's all together.

Peaceful, soft, and exactly what I needed

Just a heads-up: the tripod legs aren't the same as a traditional floor lamp, so I wouldn’t put it in a high-traffic area or near wild kids or pets… but once it’s in place, it holds steady and looks stunning. It’s become one of my favorite things in the whole room. So calming, elegant, and well worth it.

It may be slightly pricey for what it is, but you are getting a high quality and unique lamp. I'd say it's worth.

Floor lamps with rice paper shades create soft ambient lighting that works well for living spaces where harsh overhead lighting feels too intense.

Works perfect as a lamp in my daughter's room for reading bedtime stories. She loves that she can turn it on and off herself. For the price, there's nothing to complain about.

I got two of these floor lamps for my living room, and its one of the best purchases I've made in a while. I love the ambiance and atmosphere these lights create in my home.

This is a nice looking lamp easy to put together and lights of my room nicely. I was pleasantly surprised because of the reasonable price.

Sturdy, attractive, and easy to put together. My husband had it assembled in no time at all. I am ordering another one. I love the warm glow that comes from the lampshade being illuminated in our Den.

The floor lamp is very good looking and goes well in our living room. The lamp was very easy to assemble and took only 20mins to assemble. Its good for the price you pay.

Looks so good in my living room. Was easy to put together

I love this light, sleek minimalistic design and puts off a great amount of light. The bulb it came with is on the warmer side, which I personally love, and I also love not having to go to the store to get one! It does need to be assembled when you get it, but only takes about 10 minutes!

Only problem I had was trying to figure out what to do with the extra cord. Other than that lamps are easy to build, strong and a handsome addition to our house.
