White Mulberry Paper Series

Light, softened by hand.

Every shade is made from the inner bark of the white mulberry tree — cooked, beaten, formed and dried entirely by hand, then fitted to its frame by our artisans. Switched off, it is a quiet sculpture of natural fiber. Switched on, a single bulb becomes a soft, even, warm glow.

One sheet, one pair of hands

From peeling and beating to forming and fitting, every step happens in an artisan's hands.

Fiber from bark

Mulberry branches regrow every season, so the bark can be harvested again and again.

Light without glare

Interlaced fibers turn one bright point of light into a soft, glowing surface.

A texture all its own

Each sheet is hand-formed, so the direction and density of the fibers vary from piece to piece.

The Material

Born from the bark of the white mulberry

White mulberry paper is made from the bast of the mulberry tree — the pale layer of fiber just beneath the outer bark. Its fibers are long, strong and faintly translucent, which is why it has been prized for centuries for lanterns, screens and calligraphy paper.

Mulberry branches grow back after every harvest, making the bark a naturally renewable material. We keep our process close to tradition. Rather than chasing a "perfect" sheet, we let each one keep the small marks of handwork — gentle shifts in thickness, the flow of the fibers, the occasional fleck of bark.

The longer the fiber, the stronger the paper — and the more evenly light is scattered as it passes through. That is what makes mulberry paper so right for lighting.

The Craft

Six stages to make a single sheet

From a mulberry branch to a finished shade, every step takes time, patience and experience. Slowness is the heart of this craft — and the reason no two lamps in this series are quite the same.

Harvesting and peeling mulberry branches
01

Harvest & peel

Branches are pruned in the cold season, softened by steaming and peeled by hand. The dark outer skin is scraped away, leaving only the pale inner bark.

Cooking and rinsing the inner bark
02

Cook & rinse

The bark simmers slowly in a mild alkaline bath until soft, then is rinsed again and again in clean water to wash away starch and impurities.

Artisan picking impurities from wet fiber by hand
03

Pick by hand

Artisans work through the wet fiber strand by strand, removing knots and specks. It is the slowest step — and it decides how clean and even the sheet will be.

Beating the fiber into pulp with a wooden mallet
04

Beat into pulp

Wooden mallets beat the fiber into a fine pulp while keeping each strand long — that is where the paper's strength comes from.

Papermaker lifting a screen from the vat
05

Form the sheet

The papermaker dips a fine screen into the vat, rocks it gently and lifts it out, letting the fibers lock together into a thin, even sheet.

Drying paper and fitting it to a lamp frame
06

Dry & fit

Sheets are brushed onto boards to dry naturally, then fitted by hand to each frame — smoothed and trimmed by eye and touch alone.

The Light

Why paper light feels different

Glass and plastic let light pass straight through. Mulberry paper catches it in thousands of crossing fibers and releases it gently — like sunlight through a paper window.

Diffused, never glaring

Interlaced fibers scatter light in every direction, softening the bulb's bright point into an even glow that's comfortable to look at.

Naturally warm

The paper's natural cream tone gently warms the light passing through it. Evenings feel calmer, and skin tones look softer.

Texture that comes alive

Fiber veins and tiny flecks of bark only fully reveal themselves once the lamp is lit — a detail you rediscover every evening.

Recommended bulbs

The right bulb brings out the full character of the paper.

Why You'll Love It

Six reasons to live with it for years

White mulberry paper lamp, lit

One of a kind

Every sheet is formed by hand, so no two fiber patterns are alike. The lamp you receive is the only one exactly like it.

Natural & renewable

Made from mulberry bark harvested from branches that regrow every year, bringing a natural texture into your home.

Strong, not fragile

Long fibers interlock tightly, giving the paper far better tear resistance than ordinary wood-pulp paper shades.

Light as air

Paper shades weigh very little, so pendants are easy to hang and table and floor lamps are easy to move.

[Frame material] frame

Keeps the paper taut and its lines true. The [surface finish] complements the paper's warm tone.

Easy to set up

Fits a standard [E26 / E27] base. We recommend a warm-white LED bulb for low heat and peace of mind.

At Home

Soft light for every corner

Japandi, Scandinavian, wabi-sabi or modern minimal — the warm texture of mulberry paper blends in easily and brings a sense of ease to any space.

Hands fitting an LED bulb before placing the paper shade

Setup

Four steps to light it up

01

Unbox & check

Remove the shade and accessories and check them against the packing list. Hold the shade by its frame and avoid pressing on the paper.

02

Assemble

Connect and secure the [frame / base / cord] following the instructions. [Describe how to open the shade, if needed.]

03

Fit the bulb

Screw in an [E26 / E27] warm-white LED bulb and make sure it stays clear of the paper.

04

Switch on

Plug-in models are ready to use once connected. Hardwired models should be installed by a licensed electrician.

Safety note: Use LED bulbs only, with a wattage no higher than the rating marked on the socket or product label. LEDs run cool and suit paper shades — avoid hotter incandescent or halogen bulbs. For indoor, dry locations only.

FAQ

Good to know

Q

Are paper shades safe? Do they get hot?

Use LED bulbs, which produce little heat and suit paper shades, and keep the bulb from touching the paper. This product is ETL / CE / CCC certified.

Q

Are the specks and uneven thickness defects?

No. Small flecks of bark, fiber clusters and slight variations in thickness are natural features of handmade paper — and the reason every lamp is one of a kind.

Q

Can I clean it with a damp cloth?

We don't recommend it. Moisture can wrinkle the paper or leave marks. A soft brush or a hair dryer on the cool setting is all it needs.

Q

Will the paper turn yellow over time?

With long exposure to light, the natural fibers may slowly take on a warmer tone. It's a normal change in natural materials — and many people love the character it adds.

Q

Is it dimmable?

[Please specify whether dimming is supported, and which dimmable bulbs or dimmer switches to use.]

Q

Can I replace a damaged shade?

[Please specify whether replacement shades are available, and how to order or contact support.]
