Japanese Paper Pendant Light

Japanese paper pendant lights are not just decorative objects; they reflect a culture, a history and a passion for paper craft. Transport yourself to a world where art meets functionality, where design merges with emotion.

The essence of Japanese design

Origami and craftsmanship

Origami, the art of paper folding, is deeply rooted in Japanese culture. Each paper pendant reflects this art of folding, with a handcrafted look. Our modern, designer Japanese paper pendant lights aren’t just lighting fixtures, they’re works of art that illuminate and transform your space.

Fusion of nature and technology

Japanese design has this incredible ability to combine nature and modernity. By blending paper with metal or wood and modern production techniques, designers create pieces that breathe tradition yet are resolutely modern.

Light through Japanese paper

Not to order, but the collection offers several shapes (lantern, sphere, oval or flower) and colours (white, beige, brown or blue), so you can choose the one that suits your space.

Paper does not like moisture, so it’s always a good idea to keep your pendant in a dry room, away from steam.

Which bulb is recommended?

About half of our models take an E27 bulb and nearly a quarter have integrated LED, with the bulb included on most of them. For optimum light diffusion, we recommend a warm white LED bulb (2700 to 3000 K).

Yes, if you respect the maximum wattage shown on the product page. Choose an LED bulb, which stays much cooler than an incandescent bulb, and make sure the paper does not touch the bulb.
