The simple and clean design of the Paper Night Light Series shines with a lantern-like design offering a traditional look with an eco-friendly twist. The shades are constructed from handmade, recycled paper created by a husband-and-wife team living on the outskirts of their small city in the Philippines. Papers are layered into patterns or inlayed with leaves to add texture and style. The result is a natural piece that exudes soft, warm light. The reclaimed paper is boiled and ground into a liquid pulp and then strained over a large, flat, screen where it begins to lay flat in sheet form. The sheets are squeezed under a large press to removed excess water and to bind the pulp fibers into a durable, cohesive sheet of handmade paper. From there, each handmade paper sheet is cut to proper size and hand placed onto a standard UL lampshade backing using a non-toxic adhesive. The base of the night light contains an on/off switch and can be rotated 360 degrees to adjust for the outlet orientation. -
