Sculpted Lightness

Inspired by Isamu Noguchi’s mid-century explorations in paper and form, the Nobu Floor Lamp turns light into a living sculpture. Its cloud-like curves rest on a fine wire frame, diffusing a warm, meditative glow that feels as natural as daylight. A quiet presence that changes the room by softening it.

Materials

Washi Paper Shade
Each shade is handcrafted from traditional washi paper — made from the inner bark of the mulberry tree — prized for its strength, translucence, and fine fiber texture. The paper’s subtle horizontal lines reveal the hand process and lend the surface a living quality as light filters through.


Bamboo and Steel Frame
The internal structure combines bamboo ribs with a black steel base, giving the lamp both delicacy and stability. The contrast between organic and industrial materials lets the paper seem to float just above ground, tethered by the lightest touch.

Design Notes

The Nobu Floor Lamp celebrates imperfection and air. Its stacked silhouette feels both crafted and spontaneous — a rhythmic sequence of soft, swelling forms shaped by tension and restraint. Whether lit or unlit, it stands as a study in balance: weightless, tactile, and unmistakably human in scale.

Questions About The Nobu Floor Lamp

How long until I receive my order?

The Nobu Floor Lamp 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 Nobu Floor Lamp 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 Nobu Floor Lamp 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 Nobu Floor Lamp 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.
