Akari 22N Table Lamp

Inspiration

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.

Key Features

Washi Paper Shade
Light passes through the washi paper rather than off it, giving a soft, even, warm glow.

Statement Scale
At Ø16.5″ × 24.4″ it fills a side table or console the way a small floor lamp would.

Use Case

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.

FAQ

How big is it?
Ø16.5″ (42cm) across and 24.4″ (62cm) tall — one size, in white or black. It's a large table lamp, so check the surface has room before ordering.
Is the bulb included?
Yes — a warm 3000K LED bulb, included and fully replaceable. The socket is E26 or E27 and takes up to 40W incandescent or the LED equivalent.
How do I turn it on?
A push-button switch on the cord. It's plug-in with a 59″ (150cm) cord, so there's no wiring and no electrician needed.
Can I dim it?
Yes, with a compatible dimmer switch and a dimmable bulb. The dimmer isn't included.
How do I clean the paper shade?
Dust it gently with a soft dry brush — never a damp cloth. Paper marks and cockles when it gets wet, so keep the lamp away from moisture and direct heat, and indoors only.

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.

Akari pendant above a dining table

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.

Akari floor lamp in a calm bedroom corner

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.

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."
