It is made of paper but it’s the strong Japanese kind of paper that’s like cloth. It’s pretty, uniquely shaped and goes with most decors.

01 · Form

A stack of soft curves.

Stacked, ribbed curves rise above thin black legs, giving the 40 × 60cm form enough scale to anchor an empty corner or a low sideboard. It stays sculptural with the light off.

02 · Mood

Let the room settle.

Move from white light while the room is still busy to neutral for everyday use, then warm when it is time to slow down. The result suits reading corners, slow evenings and quiet conversation.

03 · Material

Rice paper, softly ribbed.

The rice-paper shade filters the bulb across its entire ribbed surface, softening the hard edge of an exposed light source. A slim iron tripod keeps the generous shape grounded.

Wine bottle, 30 cm 40 cm60 cm
Drawn to scale next to a 30 cm wine bottle. 40 cm wide and 60 cm high on a slim iron tripod.
  • The Glow, Without the Glare

    Rice paper diffuses the bulb across the shade, creating softer ambient light with less concentrated brightness.

  • Warm. Neutral. White.

    Three light tones let you shift the atmosphere from functional to relaxed as the day changes.

  • Sized to Hold Its Own

    Measures 40 × 60cm, large enough to anchor an empty corner without overwhelming the room.

  • No Built-In Expiry Date

    Uses one replaceable 6–10W E27 LED bulb, so the lamp remains useful beyond a single light source.

  • Rice Paper, Kept Grounded

    An authentic rice-paper shade is supported by a slim iron tripod, balancing visual softness with a stable base.

  • See It in Your Space

    Covered by SickHaus’s 60-day hassle-free returns policy, giving you time to judge the scale and atmosphere at home.

FAQ

Is Hikaru intended to be the main light in a room?

What bulb does the lamp use?
It takes one standard 6–10W E27 LED bulb. The bulb is replaceable, allowing the lamp to remain in use beyond the lifespan of a single light source.
What light settings are available?
Hikaru offers white, neutral and warm light modes, allowing you to move between clearer everyday illumination and a softer evening atmosphere.
How large is the lamp?
Hikaru measures 40cm wide by 60cm high. We recommend checking the intended surface and surrounding clearance before ordering.
What is the lamp made from?
The shade is made from authentic rice paper formed over a visible ribbed structure, with an iron tripod base providing support beneath it.
Does it require assembly?
A small amount of setup is required before first use. Select the appropriate US, EU or AU plug option when ordering; the corresponding regional power lead is included.
