Hand-bonded in studio with meticulous attention to detail — each piece is unique.
Plug-In Swag

Hand-bonded paper — minor glue traces are normal
The Akari A undergoes a meticulous hand-bonding process using mulberry paper and glue. Minor traces of glue along the lampshade edge are a normal characteristic of this handcrafted process — not a quality issue. Each lamp carries the unique marks of the hand that made it.
Two listings — only the cord color differs
The Akari A is available in two separate listings. The only difference is the power cord color — black cord or white cord. All other specifications, sizes, and materials are identical. Choose the cord color that best suits your ceiling and walls.
