PAPER LIGHTING

Paper is more than a decorative material—it’s a sculptural medium for architectural lighting. Hand-formed from paper pulp, each luminaire delivers warm, diffused illumination with the unique texture of a handmade object and the performance of a specification-grade fixture.

PAPER PULP PREPARATION

RESPONSIBLE SOURCING

Recycled and certified natural fibers

PULPING

Fibers are broken down in water into a smooth pulp

HAND FORMING

The pulp is pressed into molds by hand, giving each piece its own natural and unique surface.

SLOW DRYING

Shades dry gradually to help keep their shape and reduce cracking or warping.

FINISHING

Edges are trimmed, sanded, and sealed

FINAL INSPECTION

Every luminaire is inspected for quality, stability and flawless finish before it reaches you.

THE WARMTH OF PAPER

  • Naturally diffused light
  • Warm, atmospheric ambiance
  • Lightweight handcrafted construction
  • Organic texture with timeless appeal
  • Unique character in every fixture

THE WARMTH OF PAPER

Paper pulp brings warmth, texture, and softness to architectural lighting. Once formed, dried, and sealed, it becomes stable enough for interior lighting use while keeping the natural character of a handmade material.

Humidity

Best for dry interior environments

Water

Sealed for light protection, not direct water exposure

Heat

Designed for LED sources with lower heat output

FIRE

Treated and assembled for safe lighting use

COLOR

Stable under normal indoor light; avoid prolonged direct sun

TEXTURE

Natural variation makes each piece unique

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW:

Wasps made paper first:

  • They chewed wood into paper pulp.
  • Then they used it to build strong nests.
  • In the 1700s, scientists copied the idea.
  • That helped inspire modern papermaking.

QUESTIONS

01. Is paper pulp lighting durable?

Yes. Once properly dried, formed, and sealed, paper pulp becomes stable enough for interior lighting use. It is still a handmade natural material, so it should be handled with care.

Yes, when specified with the correct electrical components and LED light sources. LEDs are recommended because they produce less heat than traditional bulbs.

Untreated paper can be flammable, but lighting-grade paper pulp is sealed, finished, and designed for fixture use. Fire performance depends on the exact material treatment, construction, and required project rating.

Paper pulp is best suited for dry interior environments.

Not under normal indoor lighting. Prolonged direct sunlight is the main risk for discoloration, so placement should be considered carefully.

Use gentle dusting with a soft dry cloth, feather duster, or low-suction air. Avoid water, cleaning chemicals, abrasive cloths, and heavy pressure.

No. Texture, tone, and surface movement naturally vary from piece to piece. These differences are part of the handmade character, not defects.

They work best in dry interior spaces such as restaurants, hotels, lounges, boutiques, reception areas, offices, and residential interiors.

Yes. Paper Light fixtures can be specified individually or arranged in clusters, compositions, and larger installations for dining areas, lobbies, stairwells, and feature spaces.

Samples may be available for qualifying design and specification projects, helping architects and designers evaluate texture, color, and light diffusion before final selection.
