Where most of our Akari pendants prioritize horizontal presence or sculptural scale, the 23A\/24A prioritize subtle vertical elegance. The narrow profile (11.4-12.6\" diameter) lets these pendants hang in tight spaces — hallways, narrow foyers, between dining table seating arrangements, in clustered groupings of three to five for staircase voids — that wider fixtures cannot fit gracefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 15px; margin: 0 0 28px 0;\"\u003eTwo sizes: 24A (⌀11.4\" × H19.7\") for tighter spaces and standard hallway installations; 23A (⌀12.6\" × H24.8\") for more presence in slightly larger rooms.

American powder rooms are tight. American staircase voids are deep but not wide. Most American homes have at least one specific space where a 20-inch-wide pendant would feel crowded but a 30-inch pendant would block the path. The 23A\/24A exists for these spaces specifically. The 11.4\" diameter is intentionally smaller than nearly every other Washi pendant on the market — narrow enough to clear narrow hallways, vertical enough to read as architectural lighting rather than incidental decor. And in groupings of three to five, the same slim form becomes a powerful clustered statement — a row of vertical paper eggs descending into a staircase void, or three suspended above a long narrow dining table, produces more visual impact than a single oversized fixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: 'Cormorant Garamond',serif;

For staircase voids, we recommend ordering the 24A in a quantity of 3 or 5, then hanging at staggered cord lengths (for example, 36\", 48\", 60\", 72\", 84\" cord lengths for a 5-pendant descending arrangement). The cords are extended free of charge — specify your desired cord lengths in your order notes. Each pendant requires its own ceiling junction box; for staircase voids with a single ceiling point, an electrician can run multiple cords from one box with a Y-connector kit. Plan the spacing so that no two pendants overlap when viewed from any angle in the staircase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom: 1px solid #EFE8DA; padding: 14px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003csummary style=\"font-family: 'Cormorant Garamond',serif; font-size: 17px; color: #1c1209; cursor: pointer; list-style: none; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center; font-weight: 500;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow does 23A\/24A compare to Juni and other vertical Akari?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #c8a96e; font-size: 22px; font-weight: 300;\"\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 14px; color: #5a4a3a; margin: 10px 0 0 0; line-height: 1.7;\"\u003eAll three are vertical silhouettes, but they differ in scale and profile.
