Floor Lamps, Reimagined in Rice Paper
Looking for a floor lamp that's more than just a light source? Our paper lamps are floor-standing designs crafted from traditional rice paper (washi) shades over a lightweight metal frame - part Japanese paper lamp, part paper lantern, inspired by Noguchi's Akari-style designs. Lightweight and easy to reposition, these sculptural floor lamps combine a statement-making shape with a warm, diffused glow that suits both modern and traditional interiors, including the living room and bedroom.

Why Choose a Rice Paper Floor Lamp?
A rice paper floor lamp offers a delicate aesthetic you won't get from a standard fabric or glass floor lamp, bringing a calming and airy feel to any room. Their lightweight construction allows for easy repositioning, and their diffused light creates a cozy ambiance perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, or meditation spaces. Whether used in traditional or modern interiors, our paper lamps add an artistic yet understated charm you won't find in a typical floor lamp.
LED Lighting Inside Every Floor Lamp
LED lighting is gaining popularity due to its impressive energy efficiency and long lifespan. Our paper lamps use a standard E26/E27 bulb fitting, so you can pair a warm LED bulb, or a dimmable smart bulb if you want adjustable brightness, since most designs don't include a built-in dimmer.
Paper Lamp FAQs
Are these floor lamps or table lamps? Our paper lamps are primarily floor-standing designs, though smaller pieces can also sit on a side table - check the dimensions on each product page.
What's the difference between a paper lamp and a paper lantern? Not much in practice - a traditional paper lantern is usually a hanging or freestanding light with a paper shell, while our Japanese paper lamps use the same rice paper technique in a floor lamp form, standing on a base rather than hanging.
Are paper lamps fragile? The rice paper shades are more delicate than fabric or glass, so they're best kept away from pets, young children and direct knocks, but with normal care they're a durable everyday lighting choice.
Do I need to assemble the lamp? Some of our floor-standing paper lamps, like the Keichi Paper Lamp, arrive with straight legs that you gently bend outward, a little at a time, to reach the sculptural shape shown in our product photos.
Can I use a dimmable bulb? Yes - since these lamps use a standard E26/E27 fitting, a dimmable or smart LED bulb is an easy way to add adjustable brightness.
