- Munksgaard 5mo agoNot necessarily that specific lamp, but GULLSUDARE from IKEA is the same kind.
- dredmorbius 5mo ago"Paper lantern" generally. Many inexpensive import shops carried them in the Before Times. Widely available now. They offer a soft ambient glow. Not ideal as a reading lamp (a bit too diffuse), but quite good for general room lighting. <https://duckduckgo.com/?q=round+paper+lamp&iar=images&t=ftsa https://duckduckgo.com/?q=round+paper+lamp&iar=images&t=ftsa>
- allenu 5mo agoThe one on the shelf is probably a Akari paper lantern. I have an orange one that I quite like. You used to be able to buy them from Design Within Reach or the MoMA Design Store, but I can't find them on their sites now but they're on the Noguchi site. [1] The hanging sphere one might be similar. For those not aware of them, Design Within Reach has a lot of nice famous designed furniture and shelving, but pricey. They often have 15% off season sales though. Good place to shop if you're into the stuff seen in this blog post.
