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

Watch the light come on

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."

Mark T.

Interior Lover · Verified

★★★★★

"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."

Works great!

I'm a sucker for accent lighting. Just moved into my first house and was looking for a good option for a dark corner. I honestly wasn't sure what to expect but I love it! Changed the bulb to a warm led light, but love the light it gives off and love the vibe. Was worried it would be too much of a statement or too modern but it's neither. Totally recommend for any decor style. Rethinking where I'll put this cute little guy. Love it on the floor but will fit great on my side table and no one puts Baby in a corner.

I recently acquired the Noguchi Lamp, and it has truly transformed my living space. Its organic design seamlessly integrates with my decor, adding an elegant touch to my home. The craftsmanship is outstanding, evident in the delicate washi paper shade that casts a warm, inviting glow. Assembly was straightforward, and the packaging ensured a safe arrival. This lamp is a true five-star addition to my home.

I bought it as a gift for my wife since she wanted a aesthetic lamp for the bedroom. She really loves it!

Amazing light!

My granddaughter requested this lamp for her college dorm room. When she received it she was elated. She called me just to tell me how much she loves the lamps. She said assembly was easy.
Thanks so much for the great lamps.

This lamp makes my living room feel so cozy and relaxed. It brings the light bulb and it takes 10 secs to put it all together. Its the perfect ambient lighting piece.

Highly recommend

Love the light this gives off . Warm and inviting. Highly recommend . Can also read easily with it .

Love this lantern/lamp shade so much!!! Its gives Noguchi vibes but for a fraction of the cost. Plus it comes with two!!! So if youre rough with the lantern during assembly (like some people in the reviews) you have an extra. Watch the video for how to assemble! My husband put it together in 2 minutes and had no issues, but I could see how it could be ripped or give you trouble if you try to wing it.

Good quality

I bought this for my classroom and my students love it. It hangs over a group table- everyone wants to be there and somehow it creates a cozy and quiet worn space for them. I have an extra for my office now!

My dad loved these lanterns put in my parent's room they both thought they were nice. My parents are happy with this product.

Its delgihtful!

Bought this for my daughter's room as she had no built in lighting and is now big enough to pull over lamps. The installation took minutes, and the lamp looks great in her room.

This orb is perfect above our son's changing table. I am very pleased with the siz, texture, and color! It is perfect!

I was recently gifted a Noguchi Lamp, and I couldn't be more thrilled with it. This lamp is a stunning piece of art that adds elegance and sophistication to any room. The lamp's simple, yet elegant design features a curved, organic shape that creates a warm and inviting glow when lit.
