Overview

The Nando Wabi Sabi Paper Pendant introduces an inviting rhythm to interior spaces, hand-shaped to order by artisans in Vietnam's Phu Vinh craft village. Built with rice paper, this pendant light introduces an organic, sculpted presence to interior settings, transforming warm light into a soothing interplay of radiant ambiance and organic textures.

Shade and material: Constructed with rice paper in a white matte finish, featuring double-layered panel construction, where hand-selected natural fibers bring subtle variations in tone and texture that distinguish each handmade fixture.
Shadow and light effect: The double-layered panel construction softens and diffuses interior illumination in all directions, eliminating harsh hotspots while casting a soothing vertical glow upward and downward.
Dimensions: Available in two profile sizes of either 15.7 inches in diameter by 12.6 inches high or 19.7 inches in diameter by 14.6 inches high, with both sharing a standard 4.7-inch ceiling canopy and weighing approximately 4-6 pounds.
Installation and mounting: Equipped with a 1.5-meter adjustable suspension cord that offers an adjustable drop range between 20 and 59 inches, translating to an overall fixture drop between 34.6 and 73.6 inches, giving you the flexibility to customize hanging height on flat or sloped ceilings using hardwired electrical wiring, plug-in swag hanging, or lampshade-only mounting for your existing hardware.
Socket and bulb compatibility: Outfitted with one pre-wired E26/E27 standard base socket supporting up to 60W each, working with both incandescent and energy-efficient LED bulbs while dimming smoothly when you pair them with compatible dimmable bulbs and a wall dimmer switch, though bulbs are sold separately.
Certification and warranty: Protected by our catalog-wide 2-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects, alongside official safety certifications including UL Listed (US), cULus Approved (US/CA), and CE Certified (EU) for indoor dry locations.
Room and style fit: Incorporate it seamlessly above your kitchen island, living room seating, or dining setup, creating a grounded focal point that complements wabi-sabi, Japandi, zen, and minimalist interiors while harmonizing with dining rooms, kitchen islands, living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, or stairwells.

Nando Wabi Sabi Paper Pendant with double-layered rice paper panels, white matte finish, adjustable cord mount, one E26 socket diffusing soft vertical glow — Rice paper naturally warms and softens in tone as it ages under bulb heat over years of use.

Suitable rooms

One fixture lights 8-10 sqm comfortably. Pick the style by ceiling height and the surface below.

Nando Wabi Sabi Paper Pendant above dining table, 19.7-inch Style A shade centering the table with soft diffused light and no harsh hotspots

Hang the shade 30 to 34" above the tabletop for even light without glare.

The 19.7" Style A centers well over a standard 6-seat table, while tables past 6 ft need two fixtures spaced along the run so light covers the full surface. Skip a single pendant over tables wider than 42".

Best sizes: A 19.7" · D 19.7"
Bulb: 800-1000 lm, 2700K warm white, dimmable for dinners

Nando Wabi Sabi Paper Pendant over kitchen island, clustered 15.7-inch Style C shades throwing bright even glow across countertop clutter below

Space fixtures 24 to 30" apart on center over the island for even coverage.

A cluster of two or three 15.7" shades gives brighter, more even light across a work surface than a single larger pendant, and Style C's tall profile keeps the run visually light above countertop clutter. Raise the group closer to 34" if the island exceeds 7 ft.

Best sizes: C 15.7" · D 15.7"
Bulb: 1000-1200 lm, 3000K warm white, dimmable for daytime prep

Hang the fixture so its base sits near eye level at the landing.

Style D's balanced 19.7" profile reads well from multiple floors and suits a sloped ceiling with an adjustable cord drop. The 15.7" size works better where the stairwell is narrow and clearance is tight. Avoid the larger size in stairwells under 8 ft wide.

Best sizes: D 19.7" · A 15.7"
Bulb: 800-1000 lm, 2700K warm white, dimmable for evening use

Caring for natural rattan pendant light

Regular Dusting and Light Cleaning

Use a soft-bristled brush or microfiber cloth for weekly dusting
Gently brush along the diamond weave pattern to remove accumulated dust
Avoid using water or liquid cleaners on the natural rattan material
Work in circular motions following the weave direction

Deep Cleaning for Extended Use

Every few months, take the shade down and dust from the inside of the lattice
A barely damp cloth is only for the metal canopy and cord — never soak the weave
Let the fixture dry fully before restoring power

Electrical Component Safety Inspection

Check the cord and canopy screws once a year for looseness or wear
Replace the bulb with the fixture switched off at the wall
If the socket or cord is damaged, stop using the light and contact us

Long-term Protection and Preservation

Keep out of direct, prolonged sun to limit color shift in the cane
Avoid steam, bathrooms, and range hoods — rattan expands with moisture
Natural tonal variation and small knots are expected, not defects

FAQs About Nando Wabi Sabi Paper Pendant Light

1. What interior design style(s) does this fixture suit?

The layered rice paper hourglass suits Japandi, Scandinavian, and minimalist interiors. Its soft diffused glow and metal frame also complement wabi-sabi rooms with pared-back, neutral color palettes.

2. How do I choose the right size and style for rooms like a dining room, kitchen island, or stairwell?

Center a wide style over a dining table, cluster narrower shades above a kitchen island, and pick a tall or balanced style for a stairwell or hallway landing.

3. What ceiling height and cord drop does this pendant need?

Ceilings of 8 feet or taller suit the taller styles well, and sloped ceilings work fine too. The cord adjusts between 20 and 59 inches to fit the space.

4. Will the rice paper shade have a smell or feel fragile on arrival?

There is often a light paper-like scent right out of the box, which disappears within a short while. Though the layered panels look delicate, they hold up fine to gentle handling.

5. How do I clean and maintain the rice paper shade over time?

A cool hair dryer setting or a dry soft brush lifts dust off the paper without any risk. Water and damp cloths are off limits, since either one can warp the panels.

6. Is rice paper prone to tearing or damage from humidity?

High humidity is the paper's biggest enemy, causing it to ripple, soften, or tear if left exposed too long. Steer clear of bathrooms, kitchen steam, and open windows during rain.

7. Will the paper yellow or change color with age?

Years of warmth from the bulb will likely deepen the paper toward a richer cream color rather than staying bright white. That shift is expected and adds to the handmade feel.

8. Can I order a replacement shade if a panel gets damaged later?

With your order information on hand, support can arrange this for you directly. Since panels are applied one at a time by hand, slight grain differences may show up on a replacement.

9. What should I do if the paper is torn or damaged during shipping?

A photo of the tear taken right at unboxing helps speed up your claim within the return window. Support can then offer a repair, a replacement panel, or a full new shade.

10. Where can I buy compatible replacement bulbs?

Clear or globe E26 and E27 bulbs from any general hardware or lighting shop will work here. Keep the wattage at 60 or under to avoid excess heat near the paper.
