{"product_id":"akari-rhombus-origami-uf4-l8-floor-lamp","title":"Akari Rhombus Origami UF4-L8 Iron Floor Lamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eIThe Akari Rhombus Origami UF4-L8 Floor Lamp is a tall shade built entirely from folded triangular facets, stacked and alternating up the height of the column, standing on three slim wire legs that barely touch the floor. The paper is mulberry paper (washi-style) — thin enough to pass light, fibrous enough to hold a crease — and because every facet meets its neighbours at a different angle, the light hits each one differently. Some faces glow, some stay in shadow, and the pattern shifts as you move around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFinish: White Paper · Black Wire Frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShade width: ∅ 16.1″ 41 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLight source: LED bulb only — E26 \/ E27 socket Not included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVoltage: AC 110–240V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCord: 150 cm \/ 59″ with switch plug Extended on request — ask before ordering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Materials\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole thing weighs almost nothing, and that is the point. A floor lamp usually announces itself as furniture — a base, a stem, a shade, all of it visibly heavy. This one reads as a lit paper structure that happens to be standing in the room: no visible base, no thick stem, just three wire lines and a column of light. It suits a corner that needs softening rather than lighting, beside a sofa or a reading chair, in a bedroom, or anywhere a hard-edged room could use one soft object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shade is mulberry paper (washi-style) — a natural paper made from the inner bark of the mulberry shrub rather than from wood pulp. That one difference decides everything about how this lamp behaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhite Paper · Black Wire Frame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eLight source\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLED bulb only — E26 \/ E27 socket Not included.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eVoltage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAC 110–240V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMounting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFloor standing — plug in, no wiring required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eEnvironment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndoor, dry locations only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePreparation time\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5–10 days Made and inspected at our own workshop before dispatch.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e74″ 188 cm · 6 ft 2 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eShade width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e∅ 16.1″ 41 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eA Corner\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBest use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eNeeds\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbout 20″ of clear floor in each direction, and a socket within reach of the 59″ cord\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBeside a Sofa or Chair\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBest use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWhere Not to Put It\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAvoid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGood to Know\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich bulb should I use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe socket is a standard E26 (US) \/ E27 screw fitting, and bulbs aren't included.Choose warm white, around 2700K. Cool white light through paper looks grey and clinical — it's the quickest way to make a warm lamp feel cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow tall is it, really?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e74″ — that's 6 ft 2 in, taller than most people. Worth picturing properly before you order: this isn't a small accent lamp.But it's only 16.1″ across, so it's a narrow column rather than a bulky object — it takes up about as much floor as a dining chair while standing a head above one. Allow around 20″ of clear floor, since the tripod legs splay wider than the shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I dim it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot with the switch on the cord — that's on\/off only. And fitting a dimmable bulb on its own changes nothing, because there's no dimmer for it to work with.Two things do work: plug the lamp into an in-line plug-in dimmer, or fit a smart bulb you dim from your phone. Both are inexpensive and either takes a minute — worth sorting out before the lamp arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it bright enough to read by?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — and it isn't meant to be. Paper spreads light across its whole surface instead of aiming it, so you get a soft even glow with no beam and no bright spot anywhere.That makes it a lamp for atmosphere: a dark corner, beside a sofa, in a bedroom. If you also want to read in that chair, pair it with a directional reading light. Asking one soft paper lamp to do both jobs is how people end up disappointed with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the shade made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMulberry paper (washi-style) — a natural paper made from the inner bark of the mulberry shrub rather than from wood pulp, on a steel wire frame.The difference matters. Bark fibres are long and cross over each other, so a fold bends and holds instead of breaking — which is the only reason a folded structure like this stays folded. Those same fibres scatter the light on its way out, which is why the shade glows rather than shines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LightExp","offers":[{"title":"Dia 41cm x H 188cm \/ ∅ 16.1″ x H 74″ \/ US plug","offer_id":67808804995439,"sku":"V202412201-1","price":931.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dia 41cm x H 188cm \/ ∅ 16.1″ x H 74″ \/ UK plug","offer_id":67808805028207,"sku":"V202412201-2","price":931.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dia 41cm x H 188cm \/ ∅ 16.1″ x H 74″ \/ AU plug","offer_id":67808805060975,"sku":"V202412201-3","price":931.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dia 41cm x H 188cm \/ ∅ 16.1″ x H 74″ \/ EU plug","offer_id":67808805093743,"sku":"V202412201-4","price":931.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/3466\/8143\/files\/Akari-UF4-L-Floor-Lamp-Vidirlighting1_1_38e705bb-6064-49a5-a0ba-265e91c1d02e.webp?v=1792486424","url":"https:\/\/lightexp.com\/products\/akari-rhombus-origami-uf4-l8-floor-lamp","provider":"LightExp","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
