Cumulus Stacked Paper Bauble Floor Lamp

Cumulus is a floor lamp built to look like a sculpture first and a light source second, made from three handmade rice-paper baubles stacked into a single tall, soft column. Each bauble is a rounded form rather than a straight cylindrical shade, and when the three are stacked together the whole assembly takes on the appearance of a cloud or a cluster of soft round shapes resting on a slim black wire frame. When lit, the paper glows evenly as one continuous warm shape rather than three distinct sections, since the diffused 2700K light passes through each bauble's surface and blends together visually into a single soft column of glow. This gives Cumulus a quality unlike most floor lamps, which tend to read as a stem topped by a shade; here the entire form, from base to top, is the glowing element, with the slim black wire frame doing only the structural work of holding the stacked baubles in place. During the day, even unlit, the off-white paper baubles have a quiet sculptural presence, their rounded stacked shapes catching ambient light from windows and creating soft shadows of their own. At 31.5 inches tall, Cumulus is shorter than many floor lamps, sitting at a height that feels more like a substantial table lamp placed on the floor, which suits its role as a soft cloudform object rather than a tall architectural piece.

Cumulus is best placed against a wall in a wide corner of a living room or bedroom, somewhere its stacked silhouette has enough open space around it to be appreciated as the soft sculptural form it is. Once lit, Cumulus throws a generous, even warm glow outward and upward, filling the surrounding area with a soft 2700K light that feels closer to candlelight or a paper lantern than to a typical floor lamp's more directional output. At 1700 lumens, Cumulus is genuinely bright enough to serve as a real alternative to an overhead light in the evening, especially in bedrooms or smaller living rooms where a single warm source can comfortably light the whole space. The diffused quality of the rice paper means there is no harsh glare even when Cumulus is the brightest light source in the room, making it comfortable to look toward directly rather than needing to be positioned out of the eye line the way many brighter lamps do. In a larger living room, Cumulus works well as one of several light sources, contributing its soft cloud-like glow to one section of the room while other lamps cover the remaining space. Because of its shorter height, Cumulus also sits at a more intimate scale than a tall floor lamp, making it feel less like an architectural fixture and more like a glowing object that happens to also light the room around it effectively.

Cumulus is built around a black wire frame that holds three handmade rice-paper baubles stacked vertically, each one shaped individually so that the stacked column has a slightly irregular, organic silhouette rather than a perfectly uniform shape. The paper is a soft off-white that diffuses light evenly across each bauble's surface, lit by a single E26 bulb rated at 1700 lumens with a CRI of 80, producing the lamp's signature warm, even glow. An inline switch on the cord provides simple on-off control, and the lamp is designed for the standard US 110V-120V outlet. Cumulus arrives assembled, ready to place and plug in. At 31.5 inches tall with a 15.7 inch footprint and matching 15.7 inch shade diameter, Cumulus has a noticeably wide profile relative to its height, contributing to its cloud-like, rounded appearance. Weighing 6.6 pounds, it is light enough to move between rooms or reposition within a room without difficulty, despite its visually substantial presence. Cumulus carries CE, UL, and RoHS certifications, reflecting a thorough set of safety and compliance standards for its construction and electrical components. Because the shade is made from rice paper, it should be kept away from direct water contact and dusted gently, but with reasonable care it will retain its soft off-white appearance and even glow for years of use.
