A nearly 75-inch sculpture of light. Hand-folded mulberry Washi paper at architectural scale.

The Akari UF4-31N is the pinnacle of the Stuberlighting collection — a towering 74.8-inch Washi paper floor lamp inspired by traditional lantern-making craft. Standing at 190cm, it is designed to fill the vertical voids in minimalist spaces, providing a soft floor-to-ceiling glow that eliminates harsh shadows. The hand-folded mulberry paper "breathes" — diffusing light into the warm organic atmosphere that synthetic alternatives cannot replicate.

Each piece bridges ancient craftsmanship and modern interior design. The slim 13-inch diameter keeps the lamp gracefully proportioned despite the substantial height; the slender black metal tripod base anchors the column with quiet stability. This is the floor lamp for the room with serious vertical space — vaulted living rooms, double-height lofts, open-concept halls, and modernist primary bedrooms.

01

74.8" architectural floor-to-ceiling presence

At nearly 75 inches tall, the UF4-31N is built to fill the vertical voids that minimalist spaces create — the corners where a standard floor lamp would get lost, the wall spaces in double-height rooms where ordinary fixtures feel undersized. The substantial vertical scale anchors large rooms with intentional sculptural commitment rather than incidental accent.

02

Premium hand-folded mulberry Washi paper

Authentic mulberry Washi paper hand-folded by skilled artisans — the long fiber length provides structural integrity at this height, and the natural fibers diffuse light into the soft amber glow that defines authentic Akari lamps. The paper "breathes" in the way synthetic alternatives cannot, producing the meditative warmth that turns ordinary rooms into sanctuaries.

03

Bamboo ribbing · slender black tripod base

Traditional bamboo ribs form the internal skeleton; a slim black metal tripod base provides stable footing without heavy visual bulk. The dark metal anchors the warm paper column with graphic contrast — the engineering meets the artistry at the lamp's foundation.

04

Bulb included · in-line switch · plug-in

Ships with a 3000K warm-white bulb included. Plug-in installation — no electrician required even at this height. In-line ON/OFF button switch on cord. Compatible with any dimmable E26/E27 bulb. 59" cord with free custom extension available on request.

Designed for vertical voids

Minimalist interiors and modernist architecture share a particular challenge: how to fill the vertical voids that large open spaces create without crowding the careful restraint that defines the aesthetic. Standard floor lamps sit too low. Chandeliers occupy the ceiling but leave the lower volume empty. Sculptural light columns are the architectural answer — substantial vertical fixtures that anchor floor corners with quiet scale, casting soft floor-to-ceiling warmth across the entire vertical span. The UF4-31N is built for this exact purpose. Nearly 75 inches of hand-folded mulberry paper produces the soft amber atmosphere that softens hard architectural surfaces — exposed concrete, blackened steel, expansive glass — while maintaining the precise restrained character that the room itself was designed for.

Where the UF4-31N stands best

Vaulted living room corner — fills the vertical scale that high ceilings create with organic warm presence; the slim column form anchors the corner without crowding the room's open volume.

Double-height loft or open-concept hall — matches the architectural scale of oversized industrial conversions and modern open-plan homes; the warm paper column softens hard surfaces like concrete and steel.

Master suite or large primary bedroom — soft floor-level glow at substantial scale; the slim 13" diameter fits beside king-size beds without crowding.

Foyer or entryway with vertical space — first-impression sculptural lighting at the front of the house; reads memorable rather than generic.

Minimalist, Japandi, Wabi-Sabi, Mid-Century, or modernist interiors — the slim tall column form and warm hand-folded paper suit interiors that prize considered vertical proportions and natural materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

What ceiling height does the UF4-31N need? +

We strongly recommend 9-foot ceilings or higher for the UF4-31N. At nearly 75 inches tall, in a standard 8-foot ceiling room (96 inches), the lamp leaves only 21 inches of clearance above — visually this feels crowded and reduces the architectural effect the lamp is designed for. The UF4-31N earns its full character in 9-10ft+ ceilings, vaulted spaces, and lofts. For standard ceiling rooms, consider our shorter Akari floor lamps — the 10A (49") or UF3-Q (57").

How does the UF4-31N compare to other tall Akari floor lamps? +

Several Akari floor lamps in the 70-75 inch range, each with a distinct silhouette. The UF4-33N (19" × 72.8") and UF4-L6 (20.5" × 74") are wider smooth columns. The UF4-L9 (20.5" × 74") is the cocoon silhouette. The UF4-L10 (18.9" × 70.9") has the stacked rhythmic banded form. The UF4-31N (this fixture, 13" × 74.8") is the slimmest at 13" diameter — the most architectural in its vertical proportions. Choose UF4-31N when you want maximum vertical scale with the slimmest possible profile; choose UF4-L6/33N for wider clean smooth presence; UF4-L9 for organic cocoon character; UF4-L10 for stacked architectural texture.

How do I care for the tall Washi paper shade? +

Dust gently with a long-handled feather duster or microfiber wand — at nearly 75 inches you'll need extended reach for the upper sections. Do not wet-clean, steam, spray with cleaners, or use damp cloths; water permanently stains and warps Washi paper. The long-fiber mulberry paper used in the UF4-31N is more durable than thinner synthetic alternatives, but it still requires careful handling — avoid pressing or pushing on the paper shade. 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, frame geometry, and exact dimensions are part of the authentic hand-craft character.

Place on a stable, level floor surface away from high-traffic pathways. Due to the substantial height, position out of reach of small children and pets.

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