A handmade mulberry paper lantern that plugs into the wall.
Paper diffuses light in a way glass and plastic cannot. The whole lantern glows evenly from within, soft and warm, with the grain of the fibre faintly visible across the surface.
There is no wiring. It hangs from two hooks, runs to a socket on a 180″ cord, and switches on and off inline, so it suits rented homes and rooms with no ceiling point.
Ten sizes, from 15.7″ up to a 47.2″ statement piece.
Before You Order
Fit an LED Bulb, Nothing Else
This is a paper lantern. Never fit an incandescent, halogen, or filament bulb. Paper scorches and discolours with heat, and a hot bulb inside a paper shade is a fire risk.
Use a cool-running LED only. Contact us to confirm the maximum wattage before buying bulbs. Bulbs are not included.
Dry Indoor Rooms Only
Paper absorbs moisture and will cockle and stain. Not for bathrooms, kitchens with heavy steam, covered porches, or anywhere outdoors.
Two Hooks, Not One
Every size hangs from two ceiling hooks, one to carry the lantern and one to route the cord across to the wall. Plan both positions before you drill, and fix into a joist or use proper anchors.
Features
Mulberry Paper
Handmade Japanese paper, luminous and soft, with a visible natural fibre grain.
No Wiring Needed
A 180″ cord with an inline switch, so it hangs anywhere near a socket.
Ten Sizes
From a modest 15.7″ bedroom lantern to a 47.2″ centrepiece.
Choosing a Size
| Diameter | Height | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| ⌀15.7″ | H14.9″ | A bedside, a nursery, or a small hallway |
| ⌀19.7″ | H18.9″ | A bedroom or a reading corner |
| ⌀21.7″ | H20.5″ | A small dining table |
| ⌀23.6″ | H22.8″ | A standard dining table or a living room corner |
| ⌀27.6″ | H26.3″ | A large dining table |
| ⌀29.5″ | H27.9″ | A generous living room |
| ⌀31.5″ | H29.9″ | An open-plan space |
| ⌀35.4″ | H34.6″ | A high-ceilinged room, hung as a feature |
| ⌀39.4″ | H38.5″ | A double-height room or a stairwell |
| ⌀47.2″ | H46.5″ | Nearly four feet across and four feet tall, for atriums and commercial spaces |
These lanterns are almost as tall as they are wide, so check the height as carefully as the diameter. From an 8 ft ceiling, anything above 27.6″ will hang low enough to block sightlines across a room.

About the Handmade Finish
Small Glue Marks Are Normal
Each lantern is bonded by hand, sheet by sheet. Faint traces of glue along the edges of the paper are a characteristic of that process rather than a fault, and no two lanterns are identical.
Care
Looking After Paper
Dust with a dry soft brush or a low-suction vacuum held well away from the surface. Never use water, damp cloths, or any cleaning product, as paper marks permanently.
Keep it out of direct sunlight, which yellows and weakens paper over time.
Cord Colour
Black or White
This listing is the black cord version. The same lantern is available with a white cord as a separate listing, with everything else identical.
Black reads as a deliberate graphic line against a pale ceiling; white disappears into it.
