A teardrop of rice paper stretched over fine bamboo ribbing, standing on three slim black wire legs. Switched off it is a pale, quiet shape in the corner of a room. Switched on the whole surface lifts to a soft even warm white, with the ribbing showing faintly through the paper and no bright spot anywhere.

Paper does something a glass or metal shade cannot: it spreads the light in every direction at once and takes the hard edge off it. The glow reaches the ceiling and the wall behind as much as the table it stands on, which is why a single one of these can be enough light for a whole corner in the evening.

Size: about 28 cm across and 47 cm tall including the tripod. That is tall for a table lamp, so give it some headroom: a side table, a sideboard or a low shelf suits it better than a crowded bedside table.

Power: mains, with a 2 m cord and an in-line switch on the cable. A warm 2200K LED bulb is included, so there is nothing else to buy. It ships with an Australia and New Zealand plug and is tested to AS/NZS 60598 with RCM marking.

Care: dust lightly with a dry soft brush or the brush head of a vacuum on its lowest setting. Paper does not like water, so do not wipe it with a damp cloth. Handle it by the wire frame rather than the paper when you move it.

Rice paper teardrop table lamp glowing on an oak bedside table beside a bed with linen bedding

Light that fills a corner

Paper lets the light out in every direction, so it reaches the wall and the ceiling as well as the table. One of these in the corner of a bedroom is usually enough for the evening, with the overhead light left off.

Switch on the cord

There is a small in-line switch part way down the cord, so you can reach it without leaning over the lamp. Handy when it is sitting at the back of a sideboard or behind a chair.

Quiet when it is off

Unlit it reads as a pale shape rather than a piece of hardware, which is the reason to leave it out rather than pack it away. The paper takes the light from a window during the day and looks like it belongs there.

Good pieces, sensibly priced

Oat Loft started with a simple frustration. Nice things for the home were either very expensive or fell apart within a year, and there was not much in between. So we set out to find lamps, linen, candles and decor that look good, feel good to live with and cost what they should. Every order ships tracked and free anywhere in New Zealand.

Chosen for real rooms

We are picky about what makes it onto the site. If a piece does not meet our standard for materials, finish and comfort, it does not get listed. Every product page gives you the real dimensions, the materials and a plain description of what is in the box, so you can picture it in your space before you buy.

Frequently asked questions

How big is it, and where does it fit?

About 28 cm across and 47 cm tall including the wire tripod, which is tall for a table lamp. It suits a side table, a sideboard or a low shelf where it has some headroom. On a narrow bedside table it will feel crowded, so measure the space above the surface as well as the surface itself.

Does it come with a bulb, and does it plug in?

A warm 2200K LED bulb is included. It runs from mains power with a 2 m cord and a switch part way along the cable, and it ships with an Australia and New Zealand plug, tested to AS/NZS 60598 with RCM marking. Plan for it to sit within reach of a socket.

How do I clean a paper shade?

Dust it with a dry soft brush, or use a vacuum brush head on the lowest setting held slightly away from the surface. Do not use a damp cloth, since water marks the paper. When you move it, lift it by the wire frame rather than by the shade.

How long until my order arrives?

Allow 12 to 22 business days in total. That is 1 to 3 days for us to process the order, 8 to 15 days in international transit, then 1 to 6 days with a New Zealand courier depending on whether you are metro or rural. The full breakdown is in our Shipping Policy.

Is shipping really free?

Yes. Every New Zealand order ships tracked and free, with no minimum spend and no rural surcharge.

How do I track my order?

A tracking number is emailed to you within 24 hours of dispatch. You can follow it on our Order Tracking page. Tracking often shows no movement for a week or so while the parcel is in international transit. That is normal and it will update once it lands in New Zealand.

What is your return policy?

You have 30 days from delivery to return an item for change of mind, with no restocking fee, as long as it is unused and still has its packaging and tags. Full details are in our Refund Policy.

My item arrived faulty or damaged. What now?

Send us photos by email within 30 days of delivery and we will replace the item or refund you in full, whichever you prefer. In most cases you will not need to post anything back.

Can I cancel my order?

Yes, within 24 hours of placing it. Email our customer service team with your order number and we will sort it. After 24 hours the order has usually gone through to our supplier, but you can still return it under our Refund Policy once it arrives.

How can I contact Oat Loft?

Email us at info@oatloft.com or call +64 3 669 8870, Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (NZST). We do our best to reply within 1 to 2 business days.
