Some rooms just need to slow down. The Akari Round does that — a sphere of mulberry paper stretched over a bamboo frame, glowing from within like something that belongs in a quieter, more considered version of the day. The light it gives is soft enough to feel like candlelight and even enough to actually use the room. Hang one low over a dining table for intimacy. Cluster three at different heights above a stairwell for something that looks like it took a designer to arrange. It didn't. It just takes the Akari.

🕯 Mulberry paper — light that breathes The shade doesn't block light — it transforms it. What comes through is warm, diffused, and soft enough to make any room feel like it's exhaling.
Timeless silhouette — no trend expiry date The circular lantern form has been right for decades. It works above a dining table, beside a bed, or in a corner that needs a reason to exist. It will still look right in ten years.
📐 Six sizes — from accent to statement Ø 30 cm tucks into a reading corner. Ø 100 cm anchors an open-plan dining room. Every room has a right size; there are six to choose from.
🎚 Dimmer compatible Turned low, the paper glows amber and the room goes quiet. The Akari on a dimmer is not the same lamp — it's an entirely different atmosphere.
×3
Three at different heights — the arrangement that always works. Cluster Akaris in a group of odd numbers: above an island, along a hallway, or cascading over a stairwell. Mix sizes for depth — a Ø 50 cm flanked by two Ø 30 cm reads as designed, not decorated. Same light, layered into something that feels like it took thought.

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.

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.

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."

Great quality for the price

Can't believe how nice this looks for the price.

Larger than expected, but it fits the space well and looks great.

M
Maya Richards

Looks great in the dining room and was simple to set up.

D
David & Judy Murphy

These are quite nice for paper shades. I would recommend them. The pictures dont do the beauty of this lamp justice, and I had no issue getting it installed. It just required a bit of finagling, as most paper lanterns do. It is a much more affordable option of the more expensive Noguchi style lamps.

R
Robert J. Niven

Such a beautiful lamp and easy to assemble. The light color is perfect for the bedroom.

B
Belisha G

Was worried it wouldn't put off enough light, but it's pretty good as a reading light. It came with two shades, so you could put the other up for more light.

S
Shaneri Barett

Great lantern. I added it for a few holiday parties and everyone loved it.

V
ValkyrieAmberRose

I had very low expectations of this light given the price, but it actually looks like legitimate modern lighting. The smallish size is perfect. I use a very low watt, small light bulb that provides nice soft accent lighting.

D
Darryl Marshall

I dont often write reviews but I really liked this little lantern. I bought this one because it is similar to another pricier one. It came well packaged & was easy to assemble. It also came with the bulb which is a slightly cooler tone.

I am so obsessed with the largest rice paper lamp. It looks amazing and adds a zen element!I am using a smart bulb so I can change the color at night and it looks SO good.

I bought this for my home and mychild 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!

These paper light are very easy to assemble and are very sturdy! I love the price point,great quality for the money! Not to mention they are beautiful! You cant go wrong with these lantern lights, they are a great option!

Jake Benedix

Never see nothing so easy to assemble as this.The material is paper so it makes really light . Kind of give the room a charming.

M
MJ Frederick

They work great and do exactly what I need them to. They're simple to assemble but feel very delicate so I'm not sure how long they'll last. I imagine if you handle with care that they will be fine.

N
Nettie

This light is adorable and I think it's worth purchasing only if you have a small room and this is why: the small doesn't produce a lot of light and it might be hard to put together if you're weak like me?? but other than that it's very adorable and plus it's warm lighting which we love over here !! If you are looking for a cute lamp this is made for you!!!!

E
Emmanuel Ifediba

Love these!!!! We are using them as permanent light fixtures in our home and they add such a great modern wabi sabi vibe. One is in our entryway and the other is in our sons nursery.

Very easy to assemble and a great value for the price! Also look very nice and not cheap at all!

I'm really enjoying thislamp. You can search around for different warmths to your liking while using the lamp meantime. I love that it's dimmable and use it in the living room to help me wind down from the day, keeping it on low. The warm, low glow is very soft and soothing. A really nice style choice, grab one!

G
Gayle

It has a clean, natural, and chill vibe. It is paper so it will break if you dont handle it properly. With my daylight bulb it feels like natural light even at night. I find that hanging lanterns work great for my small apartment since I dont have table top real estate.

M
Marteen

Surprisngly sturdy for being paper. Knocked it around trying to get a larger bulb in it, finally did and not one tear.

Y
Yessiree

Love the product. Its the perfect small, delicate and proportionate size. Easy to assemble. Wish the light was a light bit warmer, its a very white light. But overall love the way it turned out.
