A tall, slim Washi paper silhouette on a black tripod. Vertical sanctuary, table-top scale.
The Akari 1N is a tall slim table lamp built around a vertical egg-shape Washi paper shade supported by a slender three-leg black metal tripod. At 19.3" tall — taller than most table lamps on the market and our tallest Akari table lamp — the 1N reads as a piece of vertical sculpture rather than a low utility accessory. The narrow profile (10.2" diameter) and elongated proportions give the fixture a quietly architectural presence; the soft warm glow when illuminated transforms the lamp from architectural object into atmospheric anchor.
The 1N is for nightstands, side tables, console tables, and quiet study corners where you want vertical presence at table-top scale. Taller and slimmer than our Akari 1A, the 1N is the choice when you want a more dramatic, elongated silhouette in a still-compact footprint.
Tall slim silhouette — our tallest Akari table lamp
At 19.3" tall with only 10.2" diameter, the 1N has the most elongated proportions of any Akari table lamp in our family. The vertical profile reads as architectural sculpture rather than table accessory — the fixture earns its space on a nightstand or side table in a way that shorter lamps cannot.
Impurity-free off-white Washi paper
Carefully selected impurity-free off-white Washi paper — the dense uniform paper diffuses light evenly across the entire shade, avoiding the patchy yellow glare common in cheaper alternatives. Hand-stretched onto the frame by skilled artisans.
Sturdy black metal tripod base
Three slender black metal legs hold the paper shade with intentional graphic contrast — the warmth of paper against the precision of dark metal. The tripod provides stable footing on any flat surface even with the taller silhouette; the dark base anchors the slim vertical shade visually.
Bulb included · in-line switch · plug-in
Ships with a 3000K warm-white bulb included. Plug-in installation — no electrician, no installation required. In-line ON/OFF button switch on cord for simple control. Compatible with any dimmable E26 LED or filament bulb for brightness flexibility.
When a table needs vertical presence
Most table lamps sit low — short and wide, hugging the tableau they sit on. The 1N takes the opposite approach. It rises. At 19.3" tall, the lamp claims vertical space on a nightstand or side table in a way most table lamps cannot, reading as architectural sculpture rather than functional accessory. This vertical presence matters in two specific situations: when you want a single statement lamp on an otherwise restrained tableau (a clean nightstand, a minimal console), and when you want the lamp's warm glow to reach higher in the room than short lamps can deliver. The 1N is for the bedroom where you read sitting up before sleep, the side table next to a tall-back armchair, the console next to a doorway where standard lamps look undersized.
Where the Akari 1N sits best
Bedside nightstand — the taller silhouette puts the warm glow at eye-height when sitting up in bed; ideal for evening reading without overhead lighting glare.
Living room side table next to a tall-back armchair or sofa — the vertical scale matches the height of upright seating; the warm glow extends the seating area's atmospheric range.
Console table in an entryway or hallway — first-impression lighting at the front of the house; the vertical scale fills the visual space above the console that shorter lamps leave empty.
Quiet study corner or meditation space — the sculptural form anchors the seating arrangement; soft warm Washi glow creates a contemplative pocket of atmosphere.
Japandi, Wabi-Sabi, or modern Zen interiors — Washi paper and matte black tripod are the signature materials of these design traditions; the 1N's vertical proportions add architectural intentionality.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 1N compare to the Akari 1A and 5X? +
Three different table lamp silhouettes from the same Akari family. The 1A is a compact egg-shape on a tripod, 10.2" × 16.9" tall — the most balanced everyday proportions. The 5X is a wide pyramid sitting low, 12.2" × 14.9" — grounded geometric sculpture rather than vertical lantern. The 1N (this fixture) is the tallest and slimmest, 10.2" × 19.3" — same diameter as 1A but 2.4 inches taller, designed for tableaus that want vertical presence. Choose 1A as a default; choose 5X for grounded geometric architecture; choose 1N when you want the most vertical statement in a still-compact footprint.
What kind of bulb works best? +
Use the included 3000K warm-white bulb, or upgrade to a 2700K-3000K LED bulb with high color rendering (CRI/Ra > 90). High-CRI bulbs bring out the natural amber tones of the Washi paper and produce noticeably more atmospheric light than standard bulbs. Avoid cooler bulbs (4000K+) — they flatten the paper's natural amber undertone and shift the glow toward gray, defeating the whole point of the lamp. The button switch is non-dimmable on its own; for full dimming, pair with a dimmable bulb plus an in-line cord dimmer between lamp and outlet, or use a smart bulb with phone control.
How do I care for the Washi paper shade? +
Dust gently with a soft feather duster or microfiber cloth — that's it. Do not wet-clean, steam, spray with cleaners, or use damp cloths; water permanently stains and warps Washi paper. Place the lamp away from humid environments (avoid bathroom counters, kitchen surfaces near stovetops) and away from direct heat sources (radiators, fireplaces). With basic monthly dusting, the paper maintains its appearance for many years; slight ambering over time is natural and part of the material's character. The metal tripod base only needs occasional wiping with a dry cloth.
Each piece is handmade by artisans — slight variations between individual lamps in paper texture, frame geometry, and exact dimensions are part of the authentic hand-craft character.
Place on a stable, level surface. Due to the taller silhouette, place away from edges and avoid surfaces likely to be bumped by children or pets.
Safety tested for indoor use in dry locations. Meets technical requirements for North American residential lighting installations.
