At Ø 31.5\" × H 25.6\", the JH5 is a pendant that earns its place in the room through sheer presence: a generous hemisphere of handmade rice paper, structured by black-lacquered oak veneer bands and suspended from a solid natural oak base, glowing from within with a warmth that no photograph fully captures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the pendant for the double-height living room, the generous dining space, the dramatic entryway. It commands without dominating — its warmth invites rather than imposes, and the texture of the rice paper, visible only when close, rewards the curious eye with evidence of genuine handcraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy It Enhances Your Space\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLarge rooms without a strong lighting focal point feel unanchored — the JH5 solves that. Its scale fills visual space that smaller pendants can't reach, and its soft, omnidirectional glow creates a genuinely warm atmosphere across a wide area. This is the pendant that shifts a room from functional to felt — the kind of light that makes the whole space feel more considered, more intentional, more lived-in. Pair it with warm-toned furniture and natural materials (wool, linen, timber) for maximum harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the Design \u0026amp; Quality Justify the Investment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJaime Hayon's Formakami collection is cited regularly in architecture and interior design press as among the finest lighting collaborations of the decade. Each JH5 is hand-assembled from genuine rice paper — a material that has been used in lantern-making for over a thousand years — wrapped over an engineered oak veneer armature with a precision that belies the organic appearance of the finished piece. The natural oak base is solid, not veneered. This is a lamp built to last a lifetime and look better every year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jaime Hayon | \u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026amp;Tradition (est. 2010, Copenhagen, Denmark)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Handmade rice paper, black-lacquered oak veneer, natural oak base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: Ø 31.5\" × H 25.6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBulb: E26, max 15W (not included) — LED E26 at 2700K recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCord: 157.48\" (adjustable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnvironment: Indoor | IP20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallation: Hardwired ceiling pendant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: Dust gently with soft dry brush; avoid moisture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this the same design as the Limited Edition JH5?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: No — the standard JH5 is the regular production version of the pendant. The Limited Edition JH5 was produced in a run of only 1,000 individually numbered pieces and is a collector's item. Both share the same design DNA, but the Limited Edition carries additional provenance and rarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What ceiling height does the JH5 need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: The JH5 works best in rooms with a ceiling height of at least 9 feet, and truly comes into its own in 10–14 foot ceilings. The cord is adjustable at up to 157\", giving you significant control over hanging height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the rice paper fragile?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: The rice paper used in the Formakami series is robust for its application — it is engineered to retain its shape and resist minor contact. Keep it away from moisture and direct abrasion. Dust occasionally with a soft dry brush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the bulb included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: No — the JH5 uses an E26 bulb (max 15W), sold separately. A warm white LED E26 at 2700K is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this hardwired?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yes — the JH5 is a hardwired ceiling pendant. Professional installation by a licensed electrician is recommended given its scale.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"\u0026Tradition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47889046864086,"sku":"MD-\u0026T-AMCO-133118A155","price":440.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/1264\/8406\/files\/Formakami-JH5-Pendant-Light-02.jpg?v=1772259796","url":"https:\/\/metropolitandecor.com\/products\/formakami-jh5-pendant-light-by-andtradition","provider":"MetropolitanDecor.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
