The Kaku Paper Pendant Light is a square-column paper lantern shade made from crafted cotton paper, gathered into horizontal pleats around a boxy silhouette instead of the usual round lantern shape. An E27 socket delivers full-spectrum, eye-care warm light through the paper for a soft glow, and the fixture hangs from a 12cm canopy on a 150cm cord that can be adjusted to set the drop height. It's available in two sizes — 30cm / 11.8″ wide by 50cm / 19.7″ tall, and 45cm / 17.7″ wide by 65cm / 25.6″ tall — in Off-White, Cream, and Vintage Yellow paper tones. This square paper pendant suits a dining table, kitchen island, or living room corner in farmhouse, wabi-sabi, or Japandi interiors looking for ambient lighting with an architectural paper shade.
Two sizes available.

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.
Shop the SeriesFour reasons these lanterns keep showing up in homes that take lighting seriously.
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."
