Akari Washi Oval Pendant Light

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
