Description

Soft, sculptural, and quietly spectacular. This Rice Paper Pendant Light wraps warm light in a hand-finished washi shade, filling a room with a glow that feels more like candlelight than overhead lighting. Whether it's above a dining table, anchoring a living room, or welcoming guests in an entryway — it transforms the ceiling into something worth looking at.

Its oblate silhouette — wide and low — casts light evenly across the room while keeping the profile elegant and unobtrusive. A single pendant that earns its place in any considered interior.

FAQ

Q: What kind of light does the washi shade create?
A: Washi-style shades create a soft, warm, diffused glow. The effect is calm and atmospheric rather than sharp or harsh.

Q: Is it good over a dining table?
A: Yes. The oblong rugby-style shape works well above dining tables, living room seating areas, and entryways.

Q: Is the paper shade delicate?
A: Yes. Washi-style shades should be handled gently and cleaned with a soft dry duster. Avoid water, pressure, or abrasive cloths.

Really nice lamp, suits our home perfectly

We have a warm, natural aesthetic throughout our home and this chandelier fits right in. The washi glow in the evenings is really pleasant and the shape is really interesting.

The washi paper has a really organic feel

The rice paper shade has this slightly irregular, handmade quality to it that gives it a lot of character. It doesn't look perfectly uniform which I actually really like.

Patricia, that organic, slightly imperfect quality is something we really value in washi paper -- so glad it resonates with you!

William Nakamura
The shape is really interesting from every angle

I love how the rugby silhouette looks different depending on where you're standing in the room. From the side it's really elongated and dramatic. From below it's more round and soft.

Great for a hotel-style bedroom

I was going for a boutique hotel feel in my master bedroom and this chandelier works perfectly. The washi glow sets a really nice mood and the shape is really elegant.

Connor, a boutique hotel bedroom with washi lighting sounds amazing -- so glad it helped get you there!

Nathan Griffith
Felt a little narrow for my space

The chandelier is pretty and the quality is good. The rugby shape is quite narrow relative to its length so it felt a little slim for my wider dining table. Still looks nice though.

L
Lauren Pierce
Really nice addition to our entryway

I hung the large size in our two-story entryway and it looks incredible. The rugby shape is really dramatic in that space and the warm washi glow is really welcoming.

Marcus Webb
The metal frame is really well finished

The metal hardware is clean and well finished. No rough edges or cheap-looking parts. The whole chandelier feels like a quality product from top to bottom.

Marcus, we really do sweat the details on the hardware -- thank you for noticing!

Brittany Lawson
Really calming light for a bedroom

I put the small size in my bedroom and the soft washi glow is so relaxing in the evenings. The rugby shape is really interesting and it looks great as a bedside pendant.

Brittany, a washi pendant as a bedside light sounds perfect -- enjoy the relaxing evenings!

Melissa Grant
Really warm and inviting light

The rice paper shade creates this really warm, diffused light that makes our dining room feel so much more inviting in the evenings. We use it every night for dinner and love it.

Melissa, a warm dining room every evening -- that's exactly what we hope for. Thank you!

Sandra Mitchell
Does exactly what I needed it to do

I needed a pendant that would add warmth and visual interest to my dining room without being too formal or too casual. This hits the right balance. Really happy with it.

Really happy, no complaints

Good quality chandelier, arrived safely, looks great. The washi shade is well made and the rugby shape is really distinctive. Would buy from Glowryte again.

Diana Holloway
Good pendant for a natural aesthetic

If you're going for a warm, organic look in your home this fits right in. The washi paper and metal frame combination is really versatile and works with a lot of different styles.

Tara Simmons
Really glad I went with the large

I almost went with the small to save a bit but I'm really glad I sized up. The large has so much more presence in the room. Worth the extra for a dining room or living area.

O
Olivia Marsh
Really happy with the washi paper quality

The rice paper shade has a really nice quality to it. It's not flimsy at all and the translucency is just right -- warm and diffused without being too dim.

V
Vanessa Brooks
Really suits our organic modern home

We have a lot of natural materials and organic shapes in our home and this chandelier fits right in. The washi paper and metal frame feel very at home with our other furniture.

Vanessa, organic modern and washi paper are such a natural match -- so glad it feels right at home!

Derek Chambers
Solid pendant, easy to live with

It's a good chandelier. Looks nice, hangs well, gives off warm light. The shape is interesting without being too loud. Works well with a lot of different interior styles.

Sarah Whitfield
Really happy with this purchase

Good quality, looks great, arrived on time. The washi shade is well made and the rugby shape is really distinctive. It's become a nice focal point in our dining room.

G
Gregory Hoffman
Light output is softer than expected

The chandelier is beautiful but the light output is pretty soft. Make sure you use a brighter bulb if you need actual task lighting. As a mood light it's absolutely perfect.

Hi Gregory! Great tip on the bulb -- a higher wattage makes a real difference. Thanks for sharing that with other buyers!

E
Elizabeth Owens
Really distinctive shape

Most pendant lights are pretty forgettable. This one is not. The rugby ball silhouette is so strong and graphic. It looks like something you'd see in a design magazine.

C
Christopher Reed
Looks great in our breakfast nook

I hung the small size in our breakfast nook and it's just the right scale for the space. The warm washi light in the morning is really nice. Really happy with it.

Andrew Castillo
Good quality, solid metal frame

The metal frame is really sturdy and the washi shade is well made. The whole thing feels like a quality product. Really good value for what you get.

R
Rachel Thornton
Really happy with the large size

Got the large 60cm for my open plan living area and it works perfectly. Big enough to make a statement but not overwhelming. The rugby shape looks really striking from below.

J
Jason Morales
Small crease in the shade on arrival

There was a small crease in the washi paper when I unboxed it. I reached out and the team responded quickly and sent a replacement shade right away. The chandelier looks great now.

Jason, we're so sorry about the crease -- washi paper can be vulnerable in transit. Really glad we could get a replacement out to you quickly. Thank you for your patience!

Nicole Henderson
The natural white finish is really versatile

The natural white washi shade works with so many different interior styles. It's not stark white -- it has a really warm, organic tone that feels very natural and easy to live with.

P
Patrick Sullivan
Really suits our minimalist home

We have a pretty minimal interior and this chandelier fits in perfectly. The clean lines of the metal frame and the natural white washi shade work really well with our other furniture.

T
Thomas Brennan
Nice pendant but felt small for my space

I got the small for my dining room and it felt a little underwhelming. The quality is good and the shape is really nice -- I just should have sized up to the large. My fault.

Hi Thomas! For dining rooms the large size definitely makes more of an impact. Feel free to reach out if we can help!

C
Catherine Murphy
Really nice in person

The photos are accurate but the chandelier looks even better in real life. The washi paper has this really organic, slightly translucent quality that you can't fully capture in photos.

R
Ryan Kowalski
Good pendant, arrived in perfect condition

Was a little worried about a washi paper shade shipping safely but it was packaged really carefully. No damage at all and it looks exactly like the photos. Happy with the whole experience.
