Lumenorth Frost Rice Paper Tripod Lamp

Frost is white, softly ridged and glowing faintly in low light, which is also a fair description of this handmade rice paper lamp on its slim iron tripod. The form is a Japanese lantern that has outlasted every lighting trend since it first appeared, and it still looks current in a room furnished last month.

Rice paper spreads a bulb's output across its whole surface. The result is an ambient glow with no glare and no hard-edged shadows, which is why this shape keeps its place in bedrooms and reading corners where a harsh overhead light would ruin the mood entirely. The tripod lifts the lantern to standing-lamp height on three slim iron legs that take up almost no floor space, so it works in an awkward corner or beside a reading chair even in a room that has no square metres at all to spare.

Each shade is made by hand, so the ridging and the weight of the paper vary slightly from lamp to lamp. Keep it clear of curtains and other fabrics while it is switched on, and dust the paper with a dry brush rather than a damp cloth, which will soften and mark the surface.
