The 22N follows the paper lantern tradition it comes from: a light you build out of nothing but paper stretched over a frame, then light from inside. The washi is laid over a ribbed structure so the light passes through the sheet rather than off it, and every rib shows as a soft line across the surface. At 24.4 inches tall the shade is wide enough to read as a form in the room, not an object on a table. Paper, a frame, one bulb — that's the whole thing.
One size, in two colours.

This is the large end of the table-lamp range, so it needs a surface with room — a console, sideboard, wide side table, or a low table beside a sofa. On a narrow nightstand it will dominate; a floor-level plinth or stack of books also works if you want it low in a corner. The paper spreads the light wide and soft, which makes it ambient light for a living room or bedroom rather than a reading lamp — add a task light where you need to see detail. White reads quieter against pale walls; black holds the ribbed lines more visibly. Email info@docos.us for trade pricing.

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.

Washi paper filters light into a warm wash. No harsh hotspots, no cold edges — just gentle ambient light across the whole room.
Every shade is shaped and pressed by hand. Fiber lines, soft folds, and small irregularities you can actually see when it's lit.
Strong silhouette, light visual footprint. Real presence in a room without crowding what's already there.
Warm enough for mid-century, quiet enough for minimalist, soft enough to anchor a modern dining table.
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.
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.
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.
Hang a pendant low. The paper warms the room the moment you switch it on — the kind of light people stay under longer.
A floor lantern in the corner replaces the overhead. Walls soften, the room calms, and the last hour of the day feels slower.
Tall beside a chair, low on a side table — ambient light that fills the room without pulling attention away.
Every lantern fills a room differently. See how the light settles in, from first switch to full glow.
"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."

It's so elegant and beautiful quality. Bigger than I expected!! Makes it a good focal piece for my room just as I wanted!
The rice paper shade exudes a soft and diffused light that creates a serene and calming atmosphere. It's as if you have a piece of traditional Japanese craftsmanship illuminating your living space. The attention to detail in replicating the Noguchi lamp is commendable.
Very pretty and great quality. Adds some texture to the look of the living room.
We are very happy with our new lamp. Its sculptural and elegant and fits perfectly in our mid century modern decor.
The shade is a little darker than I expected, but other than that its perfect.
