Pendant Lamp

The piece
Bartolo Paper Pendant · Black Plug-In · White Mulberry Paper · Inline Switch · E26 / E27
Each shade is formed from handmade mulberry washi paper — the same paper-making tradition practiced in Japan for over a thousand years. Washi made from mulberry (kozo) fiber produces a sheet of exceptional strength and translucency: the long bast fibers create a surface with a visible, irregular texture that diffuses light into a soft, warm, and completely glareless glow. No two shades are identical — the paper carries the mark of the hand that formed it.
The fixture hangs from a black plug-in cord with a built-in inline on/off switch — 450 cm of cord that requires no hardwiring and no electrician. Seven configurations range from compact 3-head clusters to single tall pendants reaching 470 cm — designed for stairwells, double-height spaces, and atriums where a long vertical form is the architectural intention.
Features
Kozo mulberry fiber paper — long-fiber construction produces a translucent, glareless diffuser with visible hand-formed texture.
450 cm black plug cord with inline on/off switch — hang anywhere near a standard outlet. No electrician required.
Single pendants up to 470 cm tall — designed specifically for stairwells, double-height rooms, and atriums.
Plug-In Installation
This pendant uses a black plug-in cord (450 cm / 177″) with a built-in inline switch — no hardwiring, no junction box, no electrician. Drape the cord from a ceiling hook (included or sourced separately), plug into any wall outlet, and use the inline switch to control the light independently of your room switch. Ideal for rental spaces, rooms without ceiling wiring, and installations where repositioning may be needed.

Multi-head clusters suit standard ceiling heights. Tall single pendants are designed for high-ceiling and double-height spaces — confirm ceiling height before ordering.

Bulbs are not included. Each socket is E26 (US) or E27 (international). For washi paper shades, a 6–10W LED at 2700K warm white with a frosted or opal diffuser is recommended — the soft output spreads evenly through the translucent paper without creating a visible hotspot. Avoid clear-glass or bare filament bulbs above 4W — the filament can appear as a bright point through thin washi paper.

FAQ
Washi is handmade Japanese paper produced from the bast fibers of the kozo (mulberry) plant. The long, interlocking fibers create a sheet that is simultaneously stronger and more translucent than wood-pulp paper — it diffuses light through its surface rather than blocking it, producing a soft warm glow with visible fiber texture. Because each sheet is formed by hand, the thickness, fiber distribution, and surface pattern varies slightly between shades. This is intrinsic to the craft, not a defect.
The most common method is a ceiling hook — a small adhesive or screw-in hook mounted to the ceiling at the desired hang point. Drape the black cord over the hook, adjust the length of the drop, and plug into a nearby wall outlet. The inline on/off switch on the cord controls the light independently. No wiring is required and no holes are made in the ceiling if an adhesive hook is used. For heavy or tall configurations, a load-rated screw-in ceiling hook is recommended.
For standard ceilings (2.4–3 m): the 3-head S, M, or L versions are appropriate — choose by diameter to match your table or space. For higher ceilings (3–4 m): the 5-head (H 270 cm) or Single 220 cm create a vertically dramatic element. For double-height or atrium spaces above 4 m: the Single 340 or 470 cm versions are designed specifically to fill a tall void with a single uninterrupted washi form. Always confirm ceiling clear height before ordering a tall configuration.
Washi paper is durable but should be kept dry. Avoid installing in damp areas or near sources of direct moisture. Dust gently with a dry soft brush or low-suction vacuum attachment — do not wipe with a damp cloth. Minor dents or creases can sometimes be eased by lightly humidifying the affected area with steam from a distance, then allowing to dry naturally. Keep away from direct touch as finger oils can stain over time.
Care & delivery
Dust with a soft dry cloth. Stone, plated and painted finishes dislike solvents and abrasives, so keep both away from them; glass takes a lint-free cloth and a little glass cleaner. Solid brass is left unlacquered on most pieces and will warm and darken with handling, which is the material behaving as it should rather than a fault. Switch a fixture off and let it cool before cleaning it.
This piece is manufactured for Elio Marchetti by Radilum, our production partner for the collection.
We are a lighting house rather than a factory. We select the pieces, specify the finishes and the stone, and hold the relationship with the maker, and we would rather tell you that plainly than leave it unsaid. Questions about the manufacture of a specific fixture are welcome and we will answer them.
Allow 28 to 43 business days from order to arrival, roughly six to nine weeks. Most of the collection is made to order, so that time covers the piece being built in the finish and size you chose, checked, packed and shipped. The same window applies wherever you are.
Shipping is free to Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, with no minimum order.
You have ten days from receiving a piece to have it on its way back to us, under way inside those ten days rather than simply flagged with us on the tenth. Return postage on a change of mind is yours, there is no restocking fee, and the outcome is a refund to your original payment method rather than store credit. Made to order pieces return on the same terms as stock. Contact us before sending anything back.
Separate from an ordinary return, and a longer window: twenty days from receipt to report it. Tell us before you send anything, keep the packaging until we have answered, and photographs of both the fault and the box help. Where a piece is faulty, damaged in transit or not what you ordered, we cover the return postage.
Any hardwired fixture should go in with a licensed electrician. Where a piece has particular requirements, a sloped ceiling, a chain that can be shortened, a specific socket, they are listed further up this page.
