The cotton pendant lamp with a plug-in option hangs from three nested layers of unbleached organic cotton. The corded version needs no electrician.
Light filters through the cotton and fills the room with a soft, diffused warmth. Three layers create depth without bulk. The organic cotton is unbleached and undyed, so it softens over time with a natural patina. At dusk, it glows like a paper lantern.
The Lag Lamp by Misewell measures 14 by 14 inches and weighs under 2 pounds. It uses a standard E26 bulb base — a warm 2700K LED pairs best for the glow. You choose between two configurations. The plug-in version includes a long cord with an in-line switch and hangs from any ceiling hook. The hardwired version includes a black canopy for permanent installation. Both are made by hand in workshops in New York and Wisconsin.
Hang one over a dining table or a reading nook. It works equally well as a bedside pendant on a longer cord. Light passes through each layer slightly differently, creating an even warm glow from every angle.
