Inspired by Japanese aesthetics and wabi-sabi spirit, this Akari pendant crafted from rice paper brings a softly luminous atmosphere with unmistakable character. Its white lampshade gently diffuses the light, ideal for creating a calming mood in both contemporary and more authentic interiors. Part floating sculpture, part lighting source, this pendant becomes a refined focal point without making your space feel crowded.
Designed for an included LED bulb, this hanging lamp provides pleasant, everyday lighting and fosters a warm ambience, perfect for highlighting natural materials (such as wood, linen, or stone) as well as the clean lines of a designer space. Its look works beautifully in japandi, Nordic or Scandinavian interiors, as well as minimal, modern, or even industrial settings for a striking contrast with metal and raw textures.
A soft light, perfect for enhancing your space
The white rice paper acts as a natural diffuser: the light spreads gently and evenly, creating visual interest without harshness. This effect is particularly sought after in living spaces where comfort and aesthetics are both priorities, whether for residential projects or professional settings.
With dimmable capability, you can tailor the brightness to suit your mood: choose brighter light for work or entertaining, or create a softer ambience for dining, reading, or relaxing at the end of the day (functionality may depend on your installation and chosen bulb).
Where to use it: living room, dining area, bedroom, office…
This rice paper pendant is designed to illuminate an area of 5 to 10 m², making it ideal as a statement piece for a dedicated spot or combined in multiples for a gallery-like architectural effect. It is naturally suited to:

- Dining room: centred above the table for inviting, soft and flattering light.
- Bedroom: as a main pendant or suspended on each side of the bed for a serene vibe.
