Sketches show cropped room views at one scale. Room areas are layout examples, not lighting coverage ratings. Plan for at least 7 ft below the shade where people walk; confirm the final position with your installer. For a larger living area or foyer, consider 90A–120A in an 18 × 20 ft layout (360 sq ft / 33.4 m²) with a 12 ft ceiling.
The Contrast Between the Chandelier and the Space
Room width is the wall-to-wall span shown in front view. Suspension drop is measured from the ceiling to the top of the shade, including the canopy. Furniture stays the same size as you adjust the room.

Low over the table. There is less than 30 in between the tabletop and shade. Try a shorter drop or a smaller shade.
High over the table. There is more than 36 in between the tabletop and shade. Try a longer drop if you want it closer to the table.
The illustrated bed and nightstands are wider than this room. Use a narrower furniture arrangement.
The drawing shows the selected room width and ceiling height, not a floor plan or a lighting coverage estimate. Furniture dimensions are fixed references. Measurements are rounded to 0.1 in; confirm the final position on site.

Minimum drop is measured from ceiling to shade bottom: shade height + a 1 in canopy + at least 10 cm of exposed cord. Inch minimums are rounded up to 0.1 in. The standard 118 in cord can be shortened during installation.
How to read the room view
Room width: the wall-to-wall width in front view, not the room’s floor area. Furniture stays at the stated reference size. Allow extra room for doors, drawers and chairs.
Suspension drop: ceiling to shade top, including a 1 in canopy. A 12 in setting leaves about 11 in of exposed cord. Increasing this value lowers the pendant.
Clearance: ceiling height − suspension drop − shade height. In the dining view, subtract another 30 in for the tabletop. Around 30–36 in above a dining table is a starting point; check sightlines and adjust for your ceiling and table.
Select any of the 11 models to compare its proportions. Sizes remain selectable when clearance is tight, so check the message alongside the drawing. Between presets, use the next lower ceiling height and the next longer drop for a cautious height check. The view assumes one hardwired pendant on a level ceiling; sloped ceilings and plug-in cords need a separate review.

The Washi paper globe brings a soft focal point to a dining room or bedroom. Light filters through the shade, giving the room a warm ambient glow for evening meals or winding down.
A smaller globe makes a quiet accent; a larger one gives the rounded silhouette more presence above the furniture. Use Compare sizes to check the proportions and hanging space before choosing the scale you want.

These are shade dimensions. The shortest standard hardwired drop is the shade height plus 4.94" (12.54 cm), allowing for the canopy and minimum exposed cord. Use Compare sizes to check the hanging space; your installer should confirm the final clearance.
Hardwired · Standard
Connects to ceiling wiring. Have a qualified installer make the electrical connection and secure the fixture.
The standard 118" cord can be shortened during installation. Contact us before ordering if you need a longer cord.
Plug-in · Optional add-on
Uses a wall outlet with a separate 16.4 ft (5 m) cord and inline on/off switch. Choose the cord color and US plug when adding it to the same order.
The cord arrives unattached and needs to be connected by a qualified installer. The pendant still needs secure overhead support and a clear cord route. Hardwired parts are not included with this add-on unless requested before shipment.
Check the hanging space
For the shortest standard hardwired drop, add 4.94" (12.54 cm) to the shade height: a 1" canopy plus at least 10 cm of exposed cord. This applies to all 11 sizes.
Above a table or island, start with 30–36" between the surface and the bottom of the shade. Use Compare sizes to check proportions and clearance. Open walkways need a separate clearance check by your installer.
An English installation guide is included in every package. Watch the installation video on the product page before assembly.
For dry indoor spaces. Handle the paper shade gently; do not force the support frame. If parts are missing or damaged, or the socket feels loose, stop and contact us before installation or use.
Optional Remote-Control Bulb
Add Remote-Control Dimming to Your Light
Adjust brightness and switch between warm, neutral, and cool white with the included remote. No need to figure out the bulb base—we’ll match it to your compatible light fixture.

What’s Included

- 3000KWarm WhiteSoft & cozy

Color samples are illustrative; the actual light may look different in your room.
The bulb isn’t designed for wall dimmer switches. Use the included remote while the fixture is powered on.

Details & Ordering
Compatibility
For compatible single-bulb pendants only. Not for chandeliers or multi-light fixtures. For integrated-LED or grounded models, please check with us first.
Cord & Switch
47″ / 1.2 m from plug to switch; 145″ / 3.7 m from switch to light (approx.).
The switch is on/off only. A compatible dimmable bulb can still be controlled by its remote while the switch is on.
Ordering
Sold only with a compatible pendant. Cord-only orders may be adjusted or canceled. Buying several pendants? Tell us which ones need a cord.
Hardwired Parts & Changes
Hardwired installation parts aren’t included with plug-in orders unless requested. Add a checkout note or contact us before ordering. If your light has shipped, ask us before adding a cord; extra shipping fees may apply.
Installation & Safety
Assembly required. Connect the cord correctly before use. If you’re not qualified to do the wiring, ask a licensed electrician. Use the hooks only with suitable anchors and surfaces, within their rated load. The connection needs proper strain relief and must not support the pendant’s weight.
For indoor use only. Keep the cord away from foot traffic and damage. Never run it through walls or ceilings.
Certification: SPT-2 power cord certified to UL 62 (File No. E494674). Certification covers the cord only, not the complete plug-in assembly or pendant.
