Light in Motion

Inspired by Isamu Noguchi’s paper sculptures, the Hikari Pendant transforms light into a living form. Its elongated silhouette swells and narrows like breath — fluid, weightless, and impossibly balanced. Suspended from above, it floats like a column of air made visible.

Materials

Handcrafted Washi Paper
Formed from the inner bark of the mulberry tree, washi paper diffuses light with unmatched softness. Each shade is made by hand, revealing subtle texture and horizontal ribbing that give the lamp its organic rhythm.


Bamboo and Steel Frame
The internal structure combines slender bamboo ribs with a steel spine, giving strength to the paper’s delicacy. The contrast between tension and lightness defines its sculptural shape.

Design Notes

The Hikari Pendant captures Noguchi’s philosophy that light should illuminate both space and spirit. Its stacked, biomorphic form creates a quiet dialogue between gravity and lift — expanding gently at the center, tapering toward both ends. The effect is serene and architectural, as if the lamp were breathing light into the room.

Questions About The Hikari Pendant

How long until I receive my order?

The Hikari Pendant arrives approximately 4-6 weeks from the day of order.

Our products take longer to arrive than most others on the internet. But there's a good reason why. Most of our pieces are made to order and ship directly from the source. We don’t keep warehouses or carry excess inventory. This is how we cut costs and pass thousands in savings back to you. But it also means you have to wait a bit longer.

What is your return policy

The Hikari Pendant can be returned after receiving the order only if the product is damaged or unusable.

Our products are made to order. So we cannot offer returns for changes in preference. But we always do what we can to make it right.

To be returned, products need to be completely unused and still in their original packaging.

How can I track my order?

The Hikari Pendant ships within 7-10 days of order placement.

Once your order has been shipped, you will receive an email with tracking details, allowing you to monitor its progress. Simply use the provided tracking information on our delivery partner’s website to stay updated on your shipment.

Judge us by our looks

Our packaging is safe, simple, and proudly no frills. We don't think it makes sense to pay for things you throw away immediately.

That's why the Hikari Pendant ships in the same protective packaging the manufacturer uses, covered in functional stickers and foreign stamps showing the journey it's been on.

We don't hide it and wear it as a badge of honor for the places our products have been and the people who made them.
