Washi Paper · Tall Pleated Pendant
Five Feet of Hand-Folded Washi.
Akari L8 is a 63-inch vertical pendant shaped with rhythmic accordion folds from top to bottom. Its slim 15-inch profile fills tall architectural spaces without the visual weight of a large chandelier.
Size Ø15" × H63"
Best For 11ft+ Ceilings
Bulb 3000K Included
Drop 59" Adjustable
Scale & Ceiling Fit
Designed for Tall Spaces
Ø15" × H63"
Ø38 × H160 cm. The shade alone is 5 ft 3 in tall, so this is not intended for a standard 8–9 ft ceiling.
Best suited to: 11ft+ ceilings, vaulted living rooms, two-story foyers, staircase voids and double-height spaces.

Material & Fold Detail
Hand-Folded Accordion Pleats
Dense Mulberry Washi is folded into repeating ridges across the full height of the shade. The pleats create visible texture during the day and subtle bands of light and shadow when illuminated.

By Day Sculptural folded texture
The repeating pleats give the long paper column definition even when the fixture is switched off.
By Night Soft rhythmic glow
Light moves across the ridges instead of reading as one flat, uniform paper surface.

Uses an E26 / E27 bulb up to 40W. Dimming is possible with a compatible dimmable bulb and wall dimmer.
Installation Hardwired · Professional install recommended
Includes a 59" / 150cm suspension cord. Longer lengths are available on request for tall foyers, staircases and double-height installations.

Good to Know
Will the L8 work with my ceiling height?
The shade itself is 63" / 160cm tall, so L8 is intended primarily for 11ft+ ceilings, vaulted rooms, staircases and double-height spaces. It is generally too long for a standard 8–9 ft ceiling.
Can the suspension cord be longer?
Yes. The standard cord is 59" / 150cm. Longer lengths can be requested for tall foyers, stairwells and other high-ceiling installations.
How should I clean the pleated Washi?
Use a soft feather duster or microfiber wand and move gently along the direction of the pleats. Do not wet-clean, steam, spray cleaners or use a damp cloth. Keep the paper away from humid areas and direct heat sources.
Shipping & Returns

Each piece is handmade, so slight variations in texture and dimensions are normal, and washi paper ambers gently over time. Screen colors are approximate; hand-measured sizes may vary 1–2cm.
