A vertical Washi paper egg on a solid metal foundation. Generous scale, permanent presence.

The Akari 22N is a generously-scaled vertical egg-shape statement lamp — 16.5 inches wide and 24.4 inches tall, supported by a substantial 5kg (11 lb) metal foundation. Where most table lamps stay in the 16-19 inch height range, the 22N reaches further at 24.4" — substantial enough to read as serious sculptural presence on side tables, media units, and console surfaces. Each piece is crafted using centuries-old techniques: thin bamboo ribs are meticulously wound to form the internal skeleton, then covered with hand-cut Washi paper that filters light into a soft ethereal glow.

The combination of generous scale, professional-grade metal weight, and traditional bamboo-ribbing craft makes the 22N a fixture that reads as architectural commitment rather than incidental accessory. This is the table lamp for the surface that deserves a serious statement.

01

Generous vertical egg silhouette

At 16.5" wide and 24.4" tall, the 22N is a generously-scaled vertical egg — bigger than typical table lamps but still in the table-lamp scale rather than reaching into floor-lamp territory. The 1:1.48 width-to-height proportions read as a tall organic egg rather than a sphere or column; the silhouette is unmistakably sculptural while remaining at human-scale on tables.

02

Centuries-old bamboo ribbing craft

Each 22N is constructed using traditional craft technique: thin bamboo ribs are meticulously wound to form the internal skeleton, then covered with hand-cut Washi paper hand-stretched into the egg form. The bamboo-winding process is what gives the lamp its characteristic ribbed visual texture and its precise sculptural integrity — synthetic-frame alternatives cannot replicate the tactile authenticity of traditional bamboo construction.

03

11 lb professional-grade metal foundation

A substantial 5kg (11 lb) metal base — much heavier than the lightweight bases used in mass-market paper lamps. The professional-grade weight provides architectural stability: the lamp doesn't shift when bumped, doesn't tip when reached over, doesn't feel fragile. The dense metal also signals serious considered design — the kind of fixture meant to be installed and committed to, not casually moved.

04

Bulb included · in-line switch · plug-in

Ships with a 3000K warm-white bulb included. Plug-in installation — no electrician required. In-line ON/OFF button switch on the cord. Compatible with any dimmable E26 LED or filament bulb. 59" cord with free custom extension on request.

For the surface that deserves a serious statement

Most rooms have one or two specific surfaces that deserve more than an ordinary table lamp — the long media console that runs the length of a living room wall, the substantial side table beside a designer armchair, the entryway console that creates the first impression of the house. These surfaces are too generous in scale for compact 16-inch lamps, but a full-height floor lamp would feel awkward in the context. The 22N exists for these surfaces specifically. The generous 24.4-inch height matches the visual weight of substantial furniture; the vertical egg silhouette reads as deliberate sculpture rather than incidental accent; the 11-pound metal foundation reinforces the sense of permanent considered placement. This is the lamp for the surface you want to anchor for years.

Where the Akari 22N sits best

Living room media console or sideboard — the generous 24.4" height matches the visual weight of substantial media units; the vertical egg silhouette anchors the surface with intentional sculptural presence.

Side table beside a designer armchair — the substantial scale pairs with serious furniture; produces a warm pillar of atmospheric light at standing eye-height for guests, seated eye-height for the chair occupant.

Entryway console table — first-impression statement lighting at the front of the house; the architectural weight and traditional bamboo-rib craft read memorable rather than generic.

Primary bedroom secondary surface — for larger primary bedrooms with substantial dressers, console tables, or built-in shelving; soft warm glow at oversized scale.

Modernist, Japandi, Wabi-Sabi, or Mid-Century interiors — Washi paper egg silhouettes are signature to these design traditions; the larger scale brings statement presence rather than understated restraint.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does 22N compare to other Akari statement lamps? +

Several Akari fixtures at statement scale, but the 22N occupies a specific niche: vertical egg silhouette at table-lamp scale with serious weight. The Bonn (17.7" × 23.6") is similar in dimensions but is a sphere rather than a vertical egg — rounder, more organic. The 25N (29.5" × 43.3") is dramatically larger with a three-tiered silhouette designed for floor or low-table use. The 22N (this fixture, 16.5" × 24.4") is vertically proportioned (1:1.48) with the traditional bamboo-rib winding craft as its defining feature — vertical statement at strict table-lamp scale. Choose 22N when you want vertical egg presence with bamboo-craft visual character; choose Bonn for warm sphere with mid-scale presence; choose 25N for dramatic three-tiered floor/low-table sculpture.

What surface can support 11 lbs? +

Any sturdy table or media unit rated for normal household objects will support 11 lbs safely — solid wood, hardwood, ceramic, stone, or metal surfaces all work well. We recommend against placing the 22N on lightweight folding tables, plant stands, or thin wire shelving. For media consoles and sideboards, the recommended ideal placement is on the surface center rather than edges — the 16.5" footprint diameter combined with the 11-pound weight creates significant load that's best distributed across the substrate. The substantial base also means the 22N stays where placed — no shifting from accidental bumps.

How do I care for the bamboo-ribbed Washi shade? +

Dust gently with a soft feather duster or microfiber cloth — pay attention to the visible bamboo ribbing where dust collects. Brush along the ribbing direction (vertical) rather than across to avoid catching the bamboo. Do not wet-clean, steam, spray with cleaners, or use damp cloths; water permanently stains and warps Washi paper, and damp cloths can soften the bamboo windings over time. Place away from humid environments and direct heat sources. 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.


For the warmest paper-glow effect, use 2700K-3000K LED or filament bulbs with high color rendering (CRI/Ra > 90). Cooler bulbs flatten the paper's natural amber undertone.

Each piece is handmade by artisans — slight variations between individual lamps in paper texture, bamboo ribbing pattern, and exact dimensions are part of the authentic hand-craft character.

The substantial 11 lb metal foundation sits firmly on flat sturdy surfaces; place on a level surface rated for the weight to ensure proper stability.

Safety tested for indoor use in dry locations. Meets technical requirements for North American residential lighting installations.
