Description
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.
Specifications and dimensions
| 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. |
| 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. |

In the room
Living with the rice paper teardrop table lamp
01
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.
02
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.
03
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.
Questions about this piece
Frequently asked questions
Something else? Email info@oatloft.com. We do our best to reply to every email within 1 to 2 business days.
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. 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 11 to 20 business days in total. That is 1 to 3 business days for us to handle your order, then 10 to 17 business days in transit, which covers international shipping, customs clearance and delivery by a New Zealand courier. 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.
