The Kiri collection brings together eight rice paper table lamps built around one sculptural, Japanese-inspired lantern silhouette. Each colourway filters the bulb through a softly textured paper shade, creating a warm, diffused glow for bedrooms, living rooms, sideboards and reading corners.
Choose from quieter neutral shades or colour-led finishes including Persimmon, Yuzu and Celadon. Every Kiri lamp uses a light iron tripod base and an E27 bulb fitting, with two sizes across the collection: 43cm or 47cm tall. The lamps arrive flat-packed and assemble without tools.
Japanese-inspired paper lamps in eight colourways
Kiri is designed for ambient light rather than focused task lighting. Use one on a bedside table, desk or sideboard, or place a larger version on the floor to soften an unused corner. A warm white LED around 2700K gives the paper shade its gentlest glow; compatible smart or dimmable E27 bulbs offer more control.
Compare colour, height and diameter on each product page. For more sculptural lighting, explore our unusual table lamps, mushroom lamps and complete lighting collection.

The shade that glows, not glares
Rice paper turns harsh light into something you actually want to be near. Warm, even, and impossible to replicate with synthetic materials.
The detail everyone asks about
Those oval cutout windows aren't decorative — they're what make Kiri unmistakable in a dark room. Light pressing through paper in clean, deliberate shapes.
Form with nothing wasted
Three wire legs. One handle loop. No unnecessary parts. Every element of the tripod base earns its place in the silhouette.
Eight moods One silhouette
Same iconic shape across eight colourways — from bold Persimmon to barely-there Washi. One for every room, every palette, every mood.
A thousand years of paper. One lamp.
The andon — 灯 — has lit Japanese interiors since the Edo period. Craftsmen stretched washi across bamboo frames to soften candlelight into something liveable. The wire tripod, the rice paper shade, the oval windows that let the light press through in deliberate shapes — Kiri carries all of it forward. Not as a replica. As a lamp that understands where it comes from.
Kiri uses an E27 bulb which is not included. We recommend a warm white LED at 2700K for the most authentic glow. The lamp is also compatible with dimmable bulbs and E27 smart bulbs such as Philips Hue or IKEA Tradfri for app-controlled brightness.
Yes — at checkout you can choose between a standard warm white bulb, a three-colour bulb that switches between warm white, cool white, and colour-changing modes, or a dimmable remote-controlled bulb. All options use the E27 fitting.
Kiri arrives flat-packed in a compact 31×31×7cm box. Assembly takes under two minutes with no tools required — the iron tripod base clicks into position and the rice paper shade sits over it. Everything you need is in the box.
Kiri is designed for ambient lighting rather than task lighting. It creates a warm atmospheric glow suited to living rooms, bedrooms, bedside tables, studies, and home décor settings. For a reading or desk light, we recommend pairing it with a directional lamp.
The Washi and Wabi variants come in the larger format — 47cm tall by 28cm wide. All other colourways are 43cm tall by 26cm wide. Both sizes are suitable for bedside tables and sideboards. The larger variants also work well placed directly on the floor in a corner.
Dust the rice paper shade gently with a dry cloth only. Do not use water, cleaning sprays, or any liquid products on the shade. Keep the lamp away from direct moisture. The iron tripod base can be wiped with a slightly damp cloth if needed.
