Paper Lantern Table Lamp

A pair of paper table lanterns built on the same slim wire tripod base — a cream rice-paper shade stretched over a bamboo-rib internal frame, capped by a warm terracotta-orange ring at the top with a wire handle, and seated above three black-steel legs. Choose between two shapes at the same H 23″ (58.5 cm) height: a wider Rounded form for a generous octagonal silhouette, or a narrower Angular form with a pinched diamond profile. Both ship with a 5W warm-white LED bulb included. A quiet sculptural floor light for a living room, study, or bedroom.

Rice-paper shade

Soft rice paper (washi) stretched over a faceted form — translucent and warm when lit.

Bamboo-rib frame

Slim bamboo ribs run horizontally inside the shade — visible as fine ridges across the paper.

Wire tripod base

Three slim black-steel legs splay outward for a stable, minimal floor stand.

Never use incandescent or halogen bulbs in this fixture. The rice-paper shade and bamboo ribs are flammable and cannot safely absorb the heat of a traditional bulb. Both shapes ship with a 5W warm-white LED bulb; replacements should also be LED only, at or below 7W. If the bulb feels warm to the touch in normal use, switch to a lower-wattage LED. Always switch off and let the bulb cool before changing it.

One E27 (Edison screw) socket per lantern, fitted with a 5W warm-white LED bulb in the box — no need to source one yourself. Replacements should be LED only, at or below 7W, in any warm-white color temperature (2700–3000K matches best with the warm shade and orange terminal rings).

A single finish offered in both shapes — cream rice-paper shade with visible bamboo-rib ridges, warm terracotta-orange terminal rings at top and bottom, and a slim wire handle. The tripod base is matte-black steel. Each shade is hand-finished, so the exact tone of the paper and the rib spacing shift subtly between pieces. For project quantities, before ordering.

• Unpack carefully — the paper shade is fragile and can tear or dent if knocked against the box edge. Lift the lantern by the wire handle or by the bottom ring, never by the paper.
• Set the tripod on a flat, stable surface. Splay the three legs evenly until the lantern sits level.
• Install only the included 5W LED bulb, or an LED replacement at or below 7W. Never use incandescent or halogen bulbs — the paper shade cannot tolerate the heat.
• Plug into a standard outlet; use the in-line cord switch on the cable to turn the lamp on and off.
• Keep the lantern indoors in dry locations — paper absorbs moisture and humidity can warp or stain the shade. Not suitable for bathrooms, covered porches, or outdoor use.
• Keep curtains, bedding, and other fabrics at least 30 cm (12″) from the shade as a general fire-safety precaution.
• Dust the shade gently with a soft, dry brush or a feather duster — never use water, solvents, or sticky lint rollers on the paper.
• If the paper tears, small repairs with archival rice-paper patches and PVA glue are possible; email us for repair guidance.
