The handmade rice paper shade — wrapped around a black-lacquered oak veneer frame — glows from within with a warmth that no synthetic material can replicate. This is a lamp that changes the emotional temperature of a room the moment it's switched on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy It Enhances Your Space\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe JH4 delivers the kind of warm, enveloping downlight that makes a room feel curated rather than simply furnished. The rice paper diffuses the light evenly in all directions, eliminating harsh shadows and creating a soft, all-around glow that flatters faces and surfaces alike. Position it centrally over a dining table for an intimate, restaurant-quality atmosphere, or hang it low over a coffee table to anchor a sitting area with warmth and visual presence. This is the pendant that makes guests ask \"where did you get that?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the Design \u0026amp; Quality Justify the Investment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJaime Hayon is one of the most celebrated designers of his generation — his work spans furniture, ceramics, sculpture, and interiors across more than 30 countries. The Formakami series is among his most enduring achievements. Each JH4 shade is made from genuine handmade rice paper, stretched and formed over a precision-cut black-lacquered oak veneer framework — a process that is irreducibly artisanal. The natural oak base grounds the composition with the quiet authority of real wood. No two shades are identical.\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 23.6\" × H 21.7\"\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 a 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: How does the JH4 differ from the JH3 and JH5?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: The JH4 is the medium pendant in the Formakami family — larger than the JH3 (Ø 17.7\") and smaller than the JH5 (Ø 31.5\"). The JH4 is the most versatile scale, suited to dining rooms, living rooms, and bedrooms alike. The JH3 works best in smaller spaces or grouped in multiples; the JH5 makes a statement in large, open-plan rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the rice paper durable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yes — the handmade rice paper used in the Formakami collection is robust and long-lasting when kept dry and away from direct moisture. Dust gently with a soft brush. Do not use wet cloths or cleaning products on the shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the bulb included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: No — the JH4 uses an E26 bulb (max 15W), sold separately. A warm white LED E26 at 2700K is recommended for the most flattering glow through the rice paper shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I use the JH4 with a dimmer switch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yes, when paired with a compatible dimmable LED bulb and a compatible dimmer switch installed by a licensed electrician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this a hardwired pendant?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yes — the JH4 is a hardwired ceiling pendant.
