Chigiri Paper Tower Floor Lamp — stacked washi lanterns, soft glow, Japanese spirit.
Four stacked washi paper lantern forms — round, wide, narrow, round again — rise as a single sculptural column from a minimal matte black iron base. The lamp is made using the Japanese Chigiri-e technique: layers of hand-torn washi paper are bonded together to create a surface that is simultaneously structural and luminous, filtering light into a warm, even ambient glow that has no hard edges and no hot spots. In the tradition of Japanese paper lantern design, the Chigiri Tower treats light as material — soft, diffused, and deeply calming.
Chigiri paper craftsmanship — minor glue traces are normal
Each lamp is made using a hand-bonding process in which washi paper layers are adhered with glue. Minor traces of glue along the edge of the lampshade may be visible — this is a natural characteristic of the Chigiri hand-craft process and does not constitute a quality defect. No two lamps will be identical.
Plug-in — no electrician required
Runs on a 59″ (150 cm) cord with an inline on/off switch — simply plug into any standard outlet and place where you need it. Fully portable. No hardwiring, no installation.

Bulb & Light SourceE26 (US/CA) or E27 (EU/AU) — bulb not included
Compatible with LED and Edison filament bulbs. A warm-white LED at 2700–3000 K is strongly recommended — the warm tone passes through the layered washi paper as a soft amber-white glow with no visible source, exactly as the form is designed to work. A globe or standard A-shape E26/E27 LED at 8–10W provides ample ambient light for a living room or bedroom setting. Avoid cool white (5000K+) which creates a harsh clinical effect through the paper.
