Crafted from traditional mulberry bark washi and mounted on a rigid metal skeleton, this suspended luminaire projects a uniquely soft illumination. The translucent covering gently scatters ambient light, producing an environment comparable to morning sun filtering through delicate architectural screens.
Every shade is assembled manually by artisans, making subtle adhesive marks along the perimeter entirely standard. These minor residues reflect the traditional bonding technique rather than manufacturing flaws.
Dimensions & Arrangement Options
Select from three distinct measurements that function independently or combine to form graduated formations. Each fixture suspends from its own wire, allowing individual height adjustments for layered compositions involving two, three, or five units.
Model 26A: Measures 17.7 inches across by 9.8 inches tall (45 × 25 cm). Weight approximates 4.4 pounds (2 kg).
Model 21A: Spans 25.6 inches wide with an 11-inch vertical drop (65 × 28 cm). Weight approximates 4.4 pounds (2 kg).
Model 15A: Covers a 34.6 inch diameter at a 13.8 inch height (88 × 35 cm). Weight approximates 4.4 pounds (2 kg).
Layered designs pair differing diameters at varied descent levels. Common setups include pairing the medium and large models, integrating all three tiers, or arranging a quintet that doubles specific proportions to maximize visual depth.
Electrical Specifications & Setup
Each unit accepts a standard E26 or E27 socket. Warm vintage filaments operating between 2200K and 2700K achieve the intended amber radiance, though compatible LED replacements perform effectively. Illumination components ship separately.
Operational parameters include AC voltage from 110V to 240V. The fixture arrives with a 197-inch (500 cm) adjustable suspension cord compatible with standard toggle switches, which are not included. Custom cord lengths can be requested. Permanent ceiling wiring must be completed by a licensed electrician capable of safely managing the hardwired connection.

Care during hardware attachment requires gentle handling to prevent surface indentation on the delicate paper envelope. Engineered strictly for dry interior spaces, the fixture lacks weatherproofing and must never be installed in moisture-prone areas or outdoor exposures.
