Akari 15A Rice Paper Pendant Light
Akari 15A Rice Paper Pendant Light
A Delicate Balance of Form and Light
Bring a softer, more organic character to your interior with this sculptural washi paper pendant light. A delicate wire framework supports the translucent paper shade, creating a lightweight silhouette that feels calm, refined and beautifully understated.
The paper surface gently diffuses the light source, reducing the harsh appearance of a bare bulb and creating a warm, atmospheric glow. Its simple geometry makes this Japanese-inspired pendant a natural complement to modern homes, quiet reading spaces and thoughtfully designed interiors.
Available in five individual sizes and several multi-pendant arrangements, the design can be adapted to different ceiling heights and room proportions. Style it above a dining table, in a bedroom, or as a sculptural lighting feature in an open-plan living space.

02 / SPECIFICATIONS Product Details
Confirm the socket type, bulb quantity, maximum permitted wattage and electrical certification for your selected size and configuration before installation.
03 / MATERIALS Washi Paper & Wire Construction
Translucent Paper Shade
Washi paper has a delicate fibrous appearance that softens the visual presence of the light source. Its subtle texture adds depth without making the ceiling feel visually heavy.
Lightweight Wire Frame
The supporting iron wire framework maintains the shade's shape while preserving an airy, sculptural silhouette.
Keep the paper shade dry and away from excessive heat and open flames. Dust gently using a soft, dry brush or cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners on the paper surface.
04 / LIGHTING Soft, Diffused Illumination
Gentle Ambient Light
The paper shade diffuses the bulb's output into a softer, more comfortable glow for everyday spaces.
Warm White Bulb
A compatible 2700–3000K LED bulb is a useful choice for creating a relaxed residential atmosphere.
Adjustable Brightness
Dimming can be achieved when a compatible bulb, dimmer and electrical configuration are used.
The listed socket options are E26 and E27. Verify the correct base for your electrical market and use a bulb within the fixture's specified wattage limits. Avoid high-heat bulbs near the paper shade.
05 / INSTALLATION & CARE Installation & Maintenance
Ceiling Installation
This pendant is designed for hardwired ceiling installation. Have a qualified electrician verify the ceiling support, wiring and mounting hardware before fitting.
Paper Shade Care
Switch off the power before cleaning. Remove dust gently with a soft, dry brush. Avoid moisture, chemical sprays and pressure that could deform or stain the paper.
The listed suspension wire is approximately 150 cm. Adjust the drop during installation according to the ceiling height and the selected shade arrangement.
06 / ROOM STYLING Where to Use
Dining Room
Larger individual shades or multi-pendant sets create a soft focal point above dining tables.
Living Room
A sculptural paper pendant introduces texture and ambient illumination to open-plan interiors.
Bedroom & Reading Nook
Smaller sizes bring a calm decorative presence to bedside spaces and reading corners.
This Japanese-inspired pendant complements Japandi, Scandinavian, minimalist and organic modern interiors. Pair the white paper shade with natural wood, linen, stone and muted neutral finishes for a balanced look.
