Kirei White Paper Lantern Pendant Light, Mid-Century Shape
Kirei White Paper Lantern Pendant Light, Mid-Century Shape
Picture the classic round paper lantern remade as a proper light fixture: a taut cotton-paper shade stretched over a steel wire frame, kept in plain white so what shines through stays soft and diffuse rather than sharp. It's the same clean, sculptural silhouette that has carried mid-century design for decades — as comfortable above a dining table today as it was in a living room seventy years ago.
Switched on, the paper turns the bulb into a glowing sphere instead of a hard point of light, so the fixture reads as much like a piece of sculpture as it does a light source.
Features
- Cotton paper over steel wire — the traditional lantern build, spreading a soft, even glow instead of visible bulb glare.
- Five ways to size it — a compact 30 cm shade up through a 75 cm statement piece, plus a two-tier cluster pairing a 45 cm and 55 cm shade on one fixture.
- Standard E26/E27 socket — takes a 5W LED bulb (roughly 40W equivalent), and works with a dimmer switch if you add a compatible dimmer and bulb.
Fitting it
It hangs from a ceiling point like any pendant fixture — an easy job if you're comfortable with basic wiring, or a quick task for an electrician if you'd rather leave it to someone else.

Frequently asked questions
What does the two-tier cluster option give me?
It combines a 45 cm shade with a 55 cm shade on a single fixture, for a fuller, layered look over a dining table or in a stairwell where a single shade would look sparse.
Does it include a bulb, and can it be dimmed?
No bulb is included. It fits a standard E26 or E27 base — a 5W LED (about 40W equivalent) works well — and it's dimmable if you pair it with a compatible dimmer switch and bulb.
Is it wired in or plugged in?
It's wired into your ceiling point rather than plugged in, so see the fitting note above for how straightforward that job is.
