Taking the iconic Asian paper lantern — a form that has illuminated homes and ceremonies for thousands of years — he reconstructed it in the language of contemporary Scandinavian design: handmade rice paper, black lacquered oak veneer bands, and a base of solid natural oak. The result is a lamp that feels simultaneously ancient and completely current, at home in a Kyoto teahouse or a Copenhagen living room with equal conviction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe JH18 is a table lamp that changes the feeling of a room the moment you switch it on. At H 19.6\" × Ø 14.9\", it casts a warm, enveloping glow that diffuses softly through the handmade rice paper shade — the kind of light that makes a room feel hushed and intimate, like the best possible version of candlelight. Place it on a sideboard, a large coffee table, or a statement console where it can be seen from across the room. It rewards proximity — the closer you are, the more you appreciate the texture of the paper, the precision of the oak veneer bands, the weight of the solid wood base. This is a lamp designed to be noticed, admired, and lived with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJaime Hayon's Formakami collection is among \u0026amp;Tradition's most celebrated, and the JH18 demonstrates why. The shade is handmade — each sheet of rice paper individually selected and applied — and the black lacquered oak veneer fittings are precisely engineered to reinforce the lamp's structure while adding graphic contrast to the warm, natural materials. The solid oak base is a substantial, grounding presence. This is not a lamp assembled from components — it is a crafted object, and every material decision reflects Hayon's rigorous, playful intelligence. UL listing available upon request, making it suitable for hospitality and commercial installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jaime Hayon, 2015 | \u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u0026amp;Tradition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterials: Handmade rice paper shade, black lacquered oak veneer bands, solid oak base, fabric covered cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: Ø 14.9\" × H 19.6\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixture: 2 × E26, Max 60W each (bulbs not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCord: 6' black fabric covered cord with dimmer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 2.2 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnvironment: Indoor only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertifications: UL listed upon request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead Time: Ships within 6–8 weeks if in stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the rice paper shade durable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: The handmade rice paper shade is more resilient than it looks, but it should be kept away from direct contact with water and handled gently. For cleaning, dust lightly with a very soft, dry cloth or a gentle feather duster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does the lamp come with bulbs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: No — the JH18 uses two E26 sockets (max 60W each), sold separately. LED E26 bulbs at 2700K are recommended for the warmest, most flattering light through the rice paper shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the cord dimmable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: Yes — the JH18 comes with a 6' black fabric cord with an inline dimmer for easy brightness control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What surfaces does it work best on?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA: The JH18 is most impactful on larger surfaces — a substantial console, a sideboard, a wide coffee table — where its generous proportions can be fully appreciated.
