One of the reasons people love our oversized models—like the 100cm and 120cm Akari-inspired pendants—is because they feel like permanent architectural features. But how do you keep something so delicate-looking clean in a busy American home?
Step 1: The Gentle Dusting
Never use a damp cloth! Water is the enemy of raw rice paper. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush or a classic feather duster. A gentle swipe once every two weeks is all it takes to prevent dust from settling into the organic fibers.
Step 2: Dealing with Small Smudges
If you notice a small mark, try a "dry" approach. A clean, white artist’s eraser can often lift light smudges without damaging the paper’s texture.
Step 3: What About Repairs?
If life happens and you get a tiny tear, don't panic. Part of the beauty of Noguchi paper lamps is their "Wabi-sabi" nature—finding beauty in imperfection. Small tears can often be patched with a tiny piece of matching washi paper and a starch-based glue, blending seamlessly back into the texture.
By following these steps, your Captains Bamboo lamp won't just be a purchase; it will be a family heirloom.
