I wanted to use japanese rice paper in a project so I designed these lamps. I use low wattage florescent bulbs so as not to heat up the paper on the shades. 17 inches tall and 6 inches square. They make great accent lighting and work well on the bedside table. Oil finish.

Thanks for looking

Ken

Borrow away, imitation is the best form of flattery.

Have fun

These look great!

I was in a Japanese paper store a week ago with my wife and after about 15 minutes I committed myself to using this material in some sort of project - and a lamp is my first choice.

Be advised that, in addition to being further inspired by your work, I will be borrow from it shamelessly.

Cheers

Bruce
